Sabarmati Ashram

My visit to Gandhi Ashram on Sunday was an enriching experience that left a lasting impression on me. As I stepped into the serene surroundings of the ashram, I was immediately struck by the sense of peace and tranquility that enveloped the place.
The ashram, located on the banks of the Sabarmati River in Ahmedabad, is a testament to Mahatma Gandhi's philosophy of truth and non-violence. Walking through the various exhibits and displays, I gained insight into Gandhi's life, his principles, and his role in India's struggle for independence.

One of the highlights of my visit was exploring the quaint museum housed within the ashram, which showcases Gandhi's personal belongings, letters, and photographs. It felt like stepping back in time and getting a glimpse into the life of one of the most influential figures in modern history.

I also took a leisurely stroll along the peaceful riverfront, where Gandhi and his followers used to engage in prayer and meditation. The simplicity and serenity of the surroundings were truly refreshing, providing a much-needed break from the hustle and bustle of city life.

Overall, my visit to Gandhi Ashram was a memorable one, filled with reflection and introspection. It served as a reminder of the enduring relevance of Gandhi's teachings in today's world and left me inspired to strive for truth, peace, and justice in my own life.

If you're ever in Ahmedabad, I highly recommend taking the time to visit Gandhi Ashram. It's not just a historical landmark, but a place of profound spiritual significance that has the power to touch hearts and minds.

We visited the Ashram while me and my friend were on our all India tour. The ashram is well maintained and has captured significant moments from the past that depict Gandhi's contribution and personality well. It's a good place to hang around too if you want some personal quite time.

There is ample parking available. Best to visit before 5PM since it closes by 6PM.

Definitely recommended ✅

I visited Sabarmati Ashram last day and I was amazed by the history and legacy of Mahatma Gandhi and his followers. The ashram is located on the banks of the river Sabarmati, which adds to its serene and peaceful atmosphere. The ashram has several buildings and sites that showcase Gandhi’s life and work, such as Hriday Kunj, his residence, Magan Niwas, his nephew’s cottage, Vinoba-Mira Kutir, where Vinoba Bhave and Mira Ben stayed, Udyog Mandir, where Gandhi initiated the historic Dandi March, and Gandhi Memorial Museum, which displays his personal belongings, manuscripts, photographs, paintings and other artifacts. The museum also has a gallery called My Life is My Message, which depicts Gandhi’s journey from his childhood to his assassination through interactive exhibits and multimedia. The ashram also has a library and archives that contain a rich collection of Gandhi’s writings and documents. The ashram staff and volunteers are very helpful and friendly, and they conduct various activities and events to promote Gandhi’s values and teachings. I attended a Gandhi Katha, a storytelling session about Gandhi’s life, which was very informative and inspiring. I also enjoyed the Sabarmati Lecture series, where eminent speakers discussed various topics related to Gandhi and contemporary issues. The ashram also offers walking tours that cover different aspects of the ashram and its surroundings. I highly recommend visiting Sabarmati Ashram to anyone who wants to learn more about Gandhi and his contribution to India’s freedom struggle and the world. It is a place of pilgrimage for peace lovers and seekers of truth.

A very peaceful place, no entry fee. You can spend about 2 hours there if you want to see everything.
A lot of history to see. All types of ancient weaving equipments available on display.
Nice clicks and natural beauty there. Lots of birds, squirrels etc running around freely.
At the back is the famous river with the development that can be seen.

If you are a Gandhian or influenced by his ideals and beliefs, then it is a must place to visit. You'll also get to see the room that he worked out of and the ashram he set up with his wife Kasturba and also a first hand view of how he translated his belief system into living a daily life for himself and the ashram inmates
You can also spend time near Sabarmati River. Great build quality and well maintained surrounding & also you can buy some of arts, books, history novels etc.

Great place to spend quality time with yourself (for self introspection/looking in) of with your group of friends/family learning all about the life and work of the father of our nation, Mahatma Gandhi 🙏🏽

Amazing place to learn and see through many aspects of Gandhiji's life story and hence our history. If you are a reader, reach early by at least 2pm to read. It closes at 6pm. souvenirs and paper products are also available.

Peaceful Place.
You will get knowledge about lifestyle of Father of Nation - Mahatma Gandhi. Place where he stayed, Prayer room, guests waiting room, Kitchen room etc. Everything is heritage.
Another reason to visit this place is it's close to sabarmati river front and you will get a good view and good location to click the photos. Ashram surrounding is full of greenery and various birds can be seen here.

It was really a very very nice and a kind of experience that could never be expressed in words. It's all because of the NGO that is being run there, Manav sadhana, I spent a very good time with the kids. My Ahmedabad visit was worth meeting those children

A pleasant place. Would recommend going in the morning if you wanna enjoy the sight of the river flowing alongside it. Winters are apparently the best time to visit as the whole place is bathed in sun.
There's stuff that you can buy like a calendar or hand woven cloth.
would take around 1 hr to explore the entire thing

Extremely well maintained place and kudos to the government for it.

The entry is free and you get a really good view of the sabarmati river.

It's a place for you if you are interested in history.

If you have time, you can go to this place on the weekend , at least you will end up walking a lot.
