Ahmedabad ali Amdavad (tudi črkovano Ahmadabad) (Gudžaratski: અમદાવાદ, Hindujščina: अहमदाबाद) je peto največje mesto v Ljubljani Indija s 6,5 milijona prebivalcev. Čeprav je komercialno središče ene najbolj uspešnih indijskih držav, Gujarat, ni glavno mesto države, ki je njegovo pobrateno mesto Gandhinagar, 30 km (19 milj) proti severu.

Ahmedabad je dober primer materialističnega odnosa in duhovnosti samoodpovedi. Ahmedabad, eno najhitreje rastočih mest v Indiji, je središče za informacijsko tehnologijo, izobraževanje in industrijo. Utrdba Bhadra, mulci Shaking in Tran Darwaja so zgodovinska mesta. Jezero Kankaria in jezero Vastrapur sta kraji, ki omogočajo občutek užitka v naravi. Če želite uživati ​​v barviti strani tega dela, potem obiščite glavne Ahmedabadeve festivale: Uttarayan in Navratri sta dva najbolj znana festivala, ki ju praznujemo z veliko vnemo in zagnanostjo. Zimska sezona velja za najboljši čas za obisk mesta.

Zgodovina

Mesto je ustanovil kralj Karandev (Karna) v 11. stoletju in se je prvotno imenoval "Karnavati". Hindujsko kraljestvo Karnavati je ohranilo svoj pomen do leta 1411, ko je sultan Ahmed šah osvojil Gujarat in mesto se je po njem preimenovalo v Ahmedabad. V urduju se pomen Ahmedabad nanaša na Ahmedovo blaginjo, pri čemer je "Ahmed" ime Ahmed, "abad" pa blaginjo.

Mesto je bilo zgrajeno v odprti in prostorni ravnini vzhodno od reke Sabarmati. Vključevala je manjšo znano utrdbo kot utrdba Bhadra. Mestno obzidje je imelo dvanajst vrat. Mesto se je postopoma širilo v vse smeri, z lepo postavljenimi čudovitimi zgradbami, jezeri in mošejami na obeh straneh reke.

Leta 1753 sta združeni vojski Raghunath Rao in Damaji Gaekwad zavzeli utrdbo in končali Mughalovo vladavino v Ahmedabadu. V 64 letih vladavine Gaekwada in Peshwe je mesto postalo čistejše. Leta 1818 so Britanci priključili Ahmedabad. V tem obdobju je bil ustanovljen občinski odbor in železniška povezava.

Britanci so se omejili na območje kantonov in se mesta niso preveč zanimali. Prav tako niso prišli do kulturne kolonizacije Ahmedabada; po vsem mestu niso ustanovili šol, cerkva in klubov, kot v drugih mestih, ki so jih vključili v svoj način življenja.

Ahmedabad je bil zibelka nenasilnega gibanja za neodvisnost Indije in je bil gostitelj Sabarmati ašram Mahatme Gandhija. Ahmedabad predstavlja mešanico bogate tradicije in sodobnega občutka.

Danes

Gudžaratska skupnost je znana po gostoljubnosti in preudarnih poslovnežih. Ahmedabad je veliko industrijsko mesto, ki že dolgo slovi po tekstilni industriji, danes pa bolj po kemijski, naftni, mednarodni trgovini in IT industriji. Znan je tudi po industriji finančnih storitev in kot sodobno središče Jain Religion. Mesto ima ustanove, kot so Indijski inštitut za management - Ahmedabad, Nacionalni inštitut za oblikovanje, Univerza Pandit Deendayal Petroleum (PDPU), Inštitut za informacijsko in komunikacijsko tehnologijo Dhirubhai Ambani, IHM, MICA, EDI, Univerza Nirma, Swaminarayan Gurukul, CEPT ( Center za okoljsko načrtovanje in tehnologijo) Univerza in NIFT.

Podnebje

Poletje se začne sredi marca in traja do sredine junija. Običajna temperatura vročega, sončnega dne v maju bi bila 34-44 ° C (93-111 ° F). Priporočljivo je, da ga ne obiščete poleti.

Uživali boste lahko v različnih monsunskih specialitetah mesta, kot so kuhane ali pražene jedi iz koruze na stojnicah ob cesti ali nekatere posebne lokalne jedi, kot je. Obstaja tudi nekaj znanih hindujskih festivalov, kot sta Rakshabandhan (ali Rakhi) in Janmastam, rojstni dan Gospoda Krišne, ki padejo v tej sezoni. Včasih lahko končate v poplavah.

Vstopi

Z letalom

• 23.07369372.6265821 Mednarodno letališče Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel (AMD ^IATA) (je na območju Hansol, le 15 km (9,3 mi) severovzhodno od središča mesta). Letališče se širi z dovoljenji za številne mednarodne letalske linije in razvojem novih terminalov.  

Mednarodne letalske povezave vključujejo Muscat, London Heathrow (Air India), Kuvajt (Kuwait Airways), Dubaj (Emirati), Doha (Qatar Airways), Sharjah (Air Arabia) in Singapur (Singapore Airlines).

Domače destinacije z dnevnimi leti vključujejo Mumbaj, Delhi, Indore, Chennai, Bangalore, Goa, Kolkata, Jaipur, Pune, Coimbatore, Hyderabad, Nagpur, Kandla in Surat. Večina domačih letalskih prevoznikov leti v Ahmedabad in iz njega.

Potnikom, ki prihajajo zjutraj, svetujejo, da mednarodni terminal ne deluje 24 ur in se lahko odpre šele pozno popoldne. Tako kot na drugih indijskih letališčih boste verjetno zavrnili vstop približno tri ure pred načrtovanim letom, tudi če je terminal odprt. Zato bo povezava med domačim in mednarodnim letom pogosto vključevala čakanje zunaj ure in ure z množico ljudi, ki se trudijo.

Obstaja več možnosti za pot od letališča do mesta:

• Avtor avto: Območje Hansol, kjer je letališče, leži v bližini rečnih bregov, med območjema Shahibaug in Naroda, ki omogočata dostop do Ahmedabada. Za potovanje na večino glavnih predelov Ahmedabada pojdite v smeri Shahibaug. Nasproti rečnih bregov je območje Ljubljane Motera - Chandkheda ki so severni konci Ahmedabada in so bolj dostopni skozi Koteshwar - Bhat Road (vstopi v Motero skozi Koteshwar) oz Obvoznica (Vodi k Visat, zavijte levo pri Tapovanovem krogu); obe cesti se odcepata na različnih točkah na cesti od letališkega kroga (v smeri Narode od letališča) do kroga Koba (levo od letališkega kroga na most Indira). Tudi do avtoceste SG je mogoče dostopati tako, da se usmerite naravnost po obvoznici, namesto da zavijete levo za Visat.
• An avto rikša ali a taksi naj stane približno 200 JPY oziroma 300 JPY. Prihranite si precej težav z uporabo predplačniške kabine ali po možnosti se vnaprej dogovorite za prevoz s svojim hotelom.
• Avtobusi AMTS neposredno služijo letališču. Ti avtobusi imajo razvejano mrežo po vsem mestu.
• Avtobus BRTS med letališčem in klubom Karnavati ne vozi 1000 vozov z 29 postanki. Najvišja cena vozovnice je 50 JPY. Avtobusi imajo klimatsko napravo in prihajajo vsakih 30 minut.

Z avtom

Iz južnega Gudžarata / Maharaštre

Vožnja do Ahmedabada iz Mumbaija po novi avtocesti (NH-8) traja približno 8 ur (brez zastojev), da prevozi 550 km. Mimo Vapija, Valsada, Surat, Bharuch, Vadodara, Anand in Nadiad na poti. Vožnja z NH-8 je energijski saper in ni zabave, saj je ogromno prometa s tovornjaki. Pokvareni tovornjaki na avtocesti redno ure in ure povzročajo zastoje. Potovanje od Vadodare do Ahmedabada lahko opravite tudi po namenski ekspresni poti (NE-1), ki ne prečka nobenega mesta namesto NH-8.

Hitra cesta od Vadodare (Južno Gujarat) do Ahmedabada konča pri C.T.M. (Južna cona).

Preko vzhoda

Zavijte desno na C.T.M. je cesta Narol - Naroda, ki vas vodi do Narode na severovzhodu Ahmedabada, medtem ko skozi območja Vastral, Odhav, Nikol itd. na desni strani ceste in območja Maninagar, Shastri Nagar, Hansol (območje letališča) na levi strani ceste. Za severna območja Sabarmati, Motera, Chandkheda itd., Kjer se konča cesta Narol - Naroda, se usmerite naravnost na NH-8 in v krogu Ranasan zavijte levo na obvoznico. Zavijte levo pri Tapovan Circle, čez nekaj km bo Motera na levi strani avtoceste, Chandkheda na desni. Avtocesta se konča pri Visatu, od koder vas zavijanje levo pripelje do Sabarmatija.

Preko zahoda

Zavijte levo pri C.T.M. je cesta Narol - Sarkhej, ki gre skozi Nehrunagar, Narol, Vatvo, Ghodasar itd., ki se konča na T-križišču na cesti Vasna (ali cesti Jawaharlal Nehru). Od tu zavijte levo, pojdite skozi območja Juhapure, Makarbe itd., Dokler ne pride do križišča Y. Desna roka vas pripelje do križišč Sarkhej, od koder zavijete desno na avtocesto S G. Levi krak na križišču Y vas pripelje skozi Sarkhej, pri Santhalovem krogu zavijte desno na obvoznico.

Obvoznica je zaželena, če je vaš cilj daleč (blizu severnega Ahmedabada), sicer uporabite avtocesto S G. Tudi za Bopal uporabite samo obvoznico.

Glavne vstopne točke z avtoceste S G so območja Prahladnagar, Shilaj, Vastrapur, Satellite, Bodakdev, Thaltej, Sola, Ognaj, Gota itd.

Iz Gandhinagarja / Severnega Gudžarata / Radžastana

Preko severa in vzhoda

V Ahmedabad lahko vstopite tako, da greste skozi Gandhinagar. Medmestna avtocesta se začne pri krogu Indroda (CH 0) (Južno Gandhinagar), ki poteka skozi krog Koba in krog Tapovan in se konča pri Visatu (severno Zahodno območje), križišče s predmestji Sabarmati, Motera in Chandkheda. Namesto da bi se odpravili na Visat, se lahko odločite tudi za obvoznico: Od kroga Koba se odpravite na cesto do mednarodnega letališča Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel (SVP), vendar zavijte levo v Rajasthan Hospital Circle in ste na obvoznici. Od tu se lahko povežete z območji Vzhod Ahmedabad, kot so Nikol, Odhav, Vastral itd. Preko obvoznice so dostopna tudi južna območja Ahmedabada, kot so Ramol, CTM, hitra cesta Ahmedabad - Vadodara, Narol, Vatwa itd.

Preko zahoda

Druga možnost je, da obvozite Gandhinagar s pomočjo ceste Mahatma Mandir, nato pa zavijete desno pri Sargasan Circle na avtocesto S G. Lahko ostanete na avtocesti S G ali zavijete desno pri krogu SGVP (znan tudi kot krog Vaishnodevi) na obvoznico. Ob meji skrajnega zahodnega Ahmedabada je več vstopnih točk, kot so Gota, Ognaj, Sola, Thaltej, Bodakdev, Satellite, Vastrapur, Shilaj, Bopal, Prahladnagar, Sarkhej (kjer se konča avtocesta S G) in Juhapura. Za pot do Bopala raje uporabite obvoznico kot avtocesto S G. Tudi če želite iti do južnega Ahmedabada, izberite obvoznico, saj bo to veliko hitrejša možnost kot avtocesta S G.

Storitve AMTS in BRTS se ustavijo na 23:00in nadaljujte ob 06:00.

Z mestnim avtobusom AMTS

Lokalni mestni avtobusi vozijo Občinska prometna služba Ahmedabad (AMTS).   od leta 1947 tvori široko mrežo, ki zajema skoraj vse točke Ahmedabada. Z AMTS.UTTAR PRADESH lahko pridete do katerega koli cilja v mestu od koder koli v mestu

Za njihovo prepoznavanje in razlikovanje od avtobusov državnega prevoza GSRTC ali zasebnih luksuznih avtobusov je tu ključ: Starejši avtobusi v tej storitvi so pobarvani v rdeča in bela ali v rdeča in rumena, medtem ko so nove živo rdeče postavljene pod JnNURM imajo elektronske prikazovalne table. Z lahkoto povprašate po esp. tisti, ki čakajo na enem od postajališč AMTS glede poti, časa itd., saj so prikazani podatki v gujaratiju. Možnost Javni prevoz v Google Zemljevidih ​​vam prikaže najbližjo postajo AMTS med iskanjem navodil od vaše lokacije do cilja, prav tako pa tudi informacije o številkah avtobusov, prestopnih točkah itd., Čeprav časi morda niso zanesljivi. Namestite lahko tudi neuradno aplikacijo z imenom „Ahmedabad AMTS Info“, ki je na voljo v Trgovini Google Play za naprave Android, ki vas vodi glede potovalnih poti, prestopov itd.

23.02494472.5782517 AMTS Central Bus Terminus (Lal Darwaja) (v Lal Darwaja v osrednji coni). 

Obstajajo še drugi terminali v Kalupurju, Sarangpurju, Starem Vadaju (Juna Vadaj), Maninagarju, Akhbarnagarju (Nava Vadaj), Vasni in Narodi ter skladiščih v Jamalpurju, Memcu (Naroda Patiya) in Memnagarju. Skupaj ima AMTS približno 1200 postajališč z 210 potmi.

Na avtobus je obvezno vstopiti z zadnjih vrat in izstopiti s sprednjih vrat. Kondukter na avtobusu vam bo izdal vozovnico glede na ciljno postajo. Hranite pri roki nekaj zapiskov z apoeni 10/20/50 namesto višjih, saj so cene vozovnic zelo nizke (ti avtobusi so najcenejše sredstvo za potovanje v mestu). A plačilo na vožnjo cena vozovnice vas bo stala najmanj ₹ 3, najvišja pa samo ₹ 25). Lahko se odločite tudi za nakup a Človek Pasand vozovnica v vrednosti 45 JPY (na voljo pri vodniku avtobusa), ki vam omogoča enodnevni prevoz neomejeno, čeprav ni priporočljivo kupiti vozovnico 45 JPY, saj lahko potovanje okoli 4-5 mest opravite v samo 30 JPY –35. Ker so avtobusi najpogostejši prevoz v mnogih mestih, so pogosto prenatrpani.

Med potovanjem lahko od sopotnikov ali kondukterja zahtevate, da vas obvestijo, kdaj bo cilj prispel / bo kmalu prispel, da ne boste zamudili izstopa na postajališču in nato morali v obratni smeri. Nadaljujte tudi proti sprednjim vratom, saj bo avtobus poln ljudi, ki stojijo na hodniku med sedeži in bo morda težko hitro priti do vrat in izstopiti, ko prispe vaš cilj (avtobus se ne ustavi ob ustavite več kot 10–12 sekund, razen če gre za osrednji terminal AMTS pri Lal Darwaji ali zadnjo postajo poti).

Z mestnim avtobusom BRTS

Ahmedabad BRTS (avtobusni hitri tranzitni sistem) ima srebrne in modre avtobuse, ki vozijo po namenskih hodnikih v središču cest. BRTS ne pokriva celotnega mesta, toda kadar je na voljo, je to najboljši način za vožnjo, kot je izjemno hitreje kot drugi načini (saj nobeno drugo vozilo ne more voziti po koridorju BRTS) in vse postaje so dobro označene v angleščini in hindijščini. Potujete lahko tudi s kombinacijo BRTS, AMTS in / ali samodejne rikše. Sistemi vozovnic BRTS in AMTS niso integrirani. Cene vozovnic so le nekoliko višje od AMTS (najnižja cena ₹ 4, najvišja cena ₹ 36)

Postaje BRTS so povišana zavetišča v osrednjem osrednjem koridorju mestnih cest, od koder lahko kupite vozovnico. Vozovnico imejte pri sebi, dokler ne izstopite na cilju, kjer pokažete vozovnico cekarju in nato pustite postajo naprej na cesti. Avtobusi so opremljeni s centralnimi samodejnimi vrati, ki se samodejno odprejo, ko se avtobus ustavi na postaji. Medtem ko bo avtobus prispel na postajo, so na elektronski plošči znotraj avtobusa napovedi z imenom postaje in prikazom na postaji. Znotraj postaj so table, ki v realnem času prikazujejo informacije o prihodih ali prihodnjih avtobusih, skupaj s potmi in predvidenim preostalim časom za prihode. Ime postaje bo z belimi črkami natisnjeno na modrih trakovih na straneh (vodoravno) in na strehi postaje (navpično).

Vsi avtobusi in postaje BRTS so dostopni za invalidske vozičke razen tiste v RTO Circle in železniški postaji Kalupur, ki so za razliko od običajnih postaj BRTS zavetišča ob cesti.

Za informacije o vseh postajah BRTS obiščite zgoraj povezano spletno mesto, ki jih prikazuje glede na linijo, ali namestite neuradno Aplikacija za Android, ki vsebuje informacije, kot so možnosti potovanja, poti, prevoznina, čas, imena postaj itd. (NJavnost javnega prevoza v Google Zemljevidih ne prikaži storitve BRTS, samo AMTS)

Obstaja 12 BRTS linij in 126 postaj, več jih je v gradnji. Trenutne vrstice so:

• Vrstica 1 Krog RTO - Maninagar
• 2. vrstica Anjali (Vasna) - Naroda
• Vrstica 3 Krog RTO - Naroda

• 12. vrstica Krog RTO - Nehrunagar - Kalupur - Krog RTO
• Vrstica 13Anjali (Vasna) - Kalupur - Akhbarnagar - Anjali (Vasna)

Z metrojem

Podzemna železnica Gujurat je verjetno najprimernejši način za obhod nekaj območij, ki jih ponuja. Obstaja le proga vzhod – zahod, ki teče skozi mesto in se ustavi na nekaterih zanimivih krajih, vključno s stadionom za domači kriket in železniško postajo Ahmedabad Junction.

Z avto rikšo

Ti rumeno-zeleni trikolesni hrupni stroji, znani kot avtorikše ali preprosto rikše, so vedno cenejši od taksijev in veliko dražji od AMTS ali BRTS, kadar je razdalja daljša od 3 km. Niso zelo udobni in prostorni. Vozniki se lahko vozijo zelo grobo, v tem primeru lahko od njega zahtevate, da vozi gladko in počasi.

Vpitje »auto« ali »rikša« ob mimoidoči rikši bi moralo biti dovolj, da pritegne pozornost voznikov. V večini primerov bodo vozniki lahko razumeli hindujščino in morda celo nekaj besed v angleščini. Običajno so zelo koristni, nekateri pa bodo skušali prevarati turiste. Kot vedno se pred vstopom dogovorite za ceno. Dnevne in nočne vozovnice se razlikujejo. Če ste videti zunaj mesta, boste morda na koncu previsoki. Na primer, lahko vztraja pri ceni vozovnice, ki temelji na števcu, in vas po daljši poti pripelje do cilja. Če nekaj razumete o razdaljah, je lahko v pomoč.

S taksijem

Ker so poleg BRTS in AMTS prevladujoči način potovanja avtorike, je v Ahmedabadu malo taksijev. Tako da na cestah težko najdete taksi, da bi pozdravili, kadar koli je to potrebno, čeprav lahko taksi rezervirate v hotelu ali pa ga rezervirate neposredno pred železniško postajo. Obstaja državno pooblaščena taksi postaja. 50 950 na dan 12 ur. Morda je dražje rezervirati v hotelih, bolje pa je, da se neposredno dogovorite z voznikom. Spletne rezervacije so možne tudi na različnih spletnih mestih.

Govori

Lokalni jezik je Gudžaratski. Hindijščino razumejo skoraj vsi, angleščina pa prevladuje med izobraženci. Večina ljudi v turistični industriji angleščino vsaj delno razume.

Glej

To je a ogromen mestni članek , zato so podrobni oglasi navedeni v okrajni članki. Ta odsek naj bo le kratek pregled.

Gujarat is one of the few Indian states where alcohol is prohibited. But this applies only to Indians. If you have a non-Indian passport / green card holder/ PR status, you can get an alcohol permit valid for one month by going to an alcohol shop large hotel and purchasing one. Hotels that have alcohol shops include: Cama Hotel in Khanpur, Hotel Inder Residency, Opp. to Gujarat College, Comfort Inn President Hotel at CG Road among others open from 12 noon to 20:00 Monday to Saturday ph no. 91 79 26467575. Many local people will be able to direct you because they can purchase alcohol on a 'health' licence. If you are non-resident of Gujarat, then one can get alcohol permits issued at alcohol shops on showing proof of travel to Ahmedabad like (1) Air/Train/Bus ticket,(2) any Identity proof by Govt. with Photo, Address & birthdate preferably driving licence and (3a) your Ahmedabad address proof such as Residence Address of Local friend/relatives electric/telephone bill/ driving licence or (3b) Proof of stay at hotel.

However, if you are staying longer you will need a non-resident permit. For that, you will need: a photocopy of passport including your entry stamps, a photocopy of visa, a photocopy of a local resident's ID card (drivers licence will probably be easiest). As of January 2009, ₹1000 (although the person may ask for ₹50 extra as a bribe but should not be given). If you can get a local person to go with you, the entire experience will be a lot easier.

Directions1 Get your copies notarized as ‘true’ copies. If you don't have easy access to someone who can do this, the Prohibition and Excise Department will direct you to a nearby office. This will cost about ₹10 per copy.2. Go to Prohibition and Excise Department which is just off the Ellis bridge on the Victoria garden side of old city .3. Pick up the bank payment form, and get copies notarized if you haven't already done this.4. Fill in the name and local address for the permit holder5. Get a rickshaw and go to the State Bank of India which is very near by. If a rickshaw is not available, the bank is in walking distance.6. Pay ₹1050 (or the asked fee) at the State Bank of India7. Get an ink stamp on form from bank8. Take your copies, your payment slip and your forms back to the Prohibition and Excise Department.9. The Department office will provide you with form F.L. /A-1. Fill out form and ask for more than the maximum allowed (ask for about 6 units) to ensure you get the maximum.10. Pay ₹2 at the Department office. Receive two stamps which are to be stuck onto get form F.L. / A-1 form to show you have paid.

You will either be able to pick up the license immediately, or in a few days. Once you have your licence, you take it to a large hotel where they have an alcohol shop, and make your purchases.

Bootlegging is rampant, but it carries a risk as well. Decent brands of Indian whisky start around ₹200 as do rum, vodka and gin. Premium brands range from ₹600 to ₹1,800 for 12-year-old Scotch.

Beer is difficult to buy as is wine/vodka/gin/brandy/scotch/champagne/rum.

Booze is strictly a private affair and don't expect to order a drink at a restaurant, and there are no pubs or bars, and you will have to drink in your hotel room or at someone's home. If someone invites you to a party, there is a good chance you will be offered a drink there. Under a new amendment to the law prohibiting alcohol, you cannot be arrested or detained for consuming alcohol illegally unless you misbehave under influence or indulge in bootlegging. However, it is best to consume alcohol at your hotel room or at a very close friends place. Majority of the guests staying at a hotel consume it in their rooms and there is always an implied consent from the hotel who will serve you ice, soft drinks and glasses.

Many small shops sell lassi, a yogurt drink. Lassi choices include: sweet, salty, with almonds. Farki, Girish Cold Drinks and Krishna Dairy are some of the famous ones. Apart from this, Janta Ice Cream and Cold Drinks offers a delicious drink cold Chocolate Coco, a chocolate flavoured thick shake. Janta has its shops across Ahmedabad. There is also a very wide variety of fruit juices available. Most large places like Havmor are reputable and use good water, but you should exercise care when drinking at smaller places.

• Nal Sarovar - Bird Sanctuary About 65 km southwest of Ahmedabad, spread over 120 km², the lake - Nal Sarovar - the extensive reed beds and marshes are an ideal habitat for aquatic plants and animals. The lake attracts a large variety of birds like plovers, sandpipers, stints, cormorants, grebes and openbill storks among others. The best season to visit the sanctuary is November to February.
• Thol Bird Sanctuary This sanctuary is about 30 km west of the city centre. Just as Nal Sarovar, this lake attracts a large variety of bird species. It has become more preferable for the amdavadis to take an early morning trip. Although it does not have any facilities like boating, it has turned out more favourable as this is a lesser known place. It will be best to rent a taxi for a morning as there is no public transport available here. November to March is the best time to visit.
