Ahmedabad is Gujarat's commercial capital and India's UNESCO-listed first World Heritage City — the 600-year-old walled core (pol houses, intricate gates, Jama Masjid) sits adjacent to the modern Sabarmati riverfront redevelopment. Navrangpura and CG Road are the upmarket commercial-residential nomad pockets; Bopal and Thaltej are the modern western-suburb alternatives. India's e-Tourist visa (up to 180 days for many western passports) covers entry; no formal DNV. The structural draws: vegetarian-food capital of India (Gujarat is officially dry — no alcohol — and almost entirely vegetarian), low costs, and dense Jain-merchant business culture.
