Ahmedabad heritage walk is one of the most unique tourist attractions in the city of Ahmedabad
600 years old city of Ahmedabad (1411 A.D) has some of the finest Indian-Islamic monuments and exquisite Hindu and Jain temples
The Heritage Walk of Ahmedabad was launched by the Amdavad Municipal Corporation (AMC) in association with CRUTA Foundation, an NGO, on 19th November 1997
It takes you through the 'Pols' - self-contained neighborhoods, sheltering large numbers of people. Some of these 'Pols' are virtually small villages
Old city is traversed by narrow lanes, usually terminating in squares (Chowks) comprising 'Community Well' and 'Chabutro' (for feeding birds)
'Pols' were protected by gates, cul-de-sacs and secret passages & are explained during the walk
Walk commences from Swaminarayan temple Kalupur, encompasses 20 main spots, numerous areas & aspects of the old city and concludes at Jama Masjid
Due the way it is structured, it is also popularly know as the "Journey from Mandir to Masjid"
