Planning a weekend away from Ahmedabad
Ahmedabad's weekend trips lean towards heritage, birds and a hill escape in Rajasthan. Gujarat has UNESCO sites within a few hours, and winter is the best time for most.
Because of the state's alcohol rules and vegetarian culture, check your hotel and meal arrangements.
