Tarix
Shaharga XI asrda shoh Karandev (Karna) asos solgan va dastlab "Karnavati" deb nomlangan. Hindistonning Karnavati qirolligi 1411 yilgacha Sulton Axmedshoh Gujarotni zabt etguniga qadar va shahar uning nomi Ahmedabad deb o'zgartirilganiga qadar o'z ahamiyatini saqlab qoldi. Urdu tilida Ahmedabadning ma'nosi Ahmed Obodlik degan ma'noni anglatadi, "Ahmed" Ahmad ismidir va "abad" farovonlikni anglatadi.
Shahar Sabarmati daryosining sharqida joylashgan ochiq va keng tekislikda qurilgan. Bhadra Fort deb nomlangan kichikroq qal'ani o'z ichiga olgan. Shahar devorida o'n ikki eshik bor edi. Shahar asta-sekin har tomonga kengayib bordi, daryoning ikki tomonida ham chiroyli binolar, ko'llar va masjidlar qurildi.
1753 yilda Ragunat Rao va Damaji Gaekvadning qo'shinlari Ahmedabaddagi Mug'allar hukmronligini tugatib, qal'ani egalladilar. Gaekvad va Peshvaning 64 yillik hukmronligi davrida shahar toza bo'lib qoldi. 1818 yilda inglizlar Ahmedabadni qo'shib olishdi. Ushbu davrda munitsipalitet qo'mitasi tashkil etildi va temir yo'l aloqasi o'rnatildi.
Inglizlar o'zlarini kanton zonasi bilan cheklashdi va shaharga unchalik qiziqishmadi. Shuningdek, ular Ahmedabadni madaniy jihatdan mustamlakaga aylantirmadilar; ular boshqa shaharlarda bo'lgani kabi butun shahar bo'ylab maktablar, cherkovlar va klublar tashkil qilmadilar, o'zlarining hayot tarzlariga qo'shildilar.

Ko'pgina hollarda haydovchilar hind tilini va hatto ingliz tilining bir nechta so'zlarini tushunishlari mumkin. Ular odatda juda foydali, ammo ba'zilari sayyohlarni aldashga harakat qilishadi.

Mehmonxonalar orqali bron qilish qimmatroq bo'lishi mumkin va haydovchi bilan to'g'ridan-to'g'ri muzokara olib borish yaxshiroqdir. Onlayn buyurtma turli veb-saytlarda ham mumkin.

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.
