Cycling day trip from Adalaj to Gandhinagar

This ride takes you from Adalaj, a town just northwest of Ahmedabad best known for the stunning Adalaj Stepwell, to Gandhinagar, the tranquil and green capital city of Gujarat. It’s about 26 km, so you’ll have plenty of time in the saddle to enjoy the peaceful countryside and open stretches. Most of the journey rolls along quiet roads—a perfect escape for anyone looking to avoid traffic and soak in the rural landscape.

The route is mostly flat, with only very gentle ups and downs, so you don’t have to worry about any tough climbs. Surfaces are a mix, but mostly unpaved or basic, so a hybrid or mountain bike will be your friend here.

Finishing in Gandhinagar, you’ll find yourself in one of India’s cleanest and best-planned cities, recognized for its orderly grid layout and abundant greenery. If you have time, check out the Akshardham Temple or the beautiful public parks before heading back. All in all, a relaxing ride that balances culture, nature, and a bit of local flavor!
