Getaways from Ahmedabad for perfect Valentine’s Celebration

A candlelight dinner beside a canal, a night heritage walk or a quick getaway, here's how you can spend the season of love in the region.

Table for two (Dinner at the waterside)

If you're one of those who needs a typical flowers-balloons-and candles kind of the setting for your Valentine's Day date, The Waterside restaurant is where you should be heading. Situated right next to the Narmada Canal, the sprawling restaurant, with its beautiful alfresco setting is one of the most picturesque places for an evening out in the city.

Low wooden chairs and tables set amidst the greens, overlooking the beautiful canal make for a dreamlike setting for your romantic dinner date. Open just for dinner, The Waterside provides type of pure vegetarian global cuisine including Mexican, Italian or Thai. Very famous for their sizzlers and pastas, The Waterside has something for every taste preference. Finish off your meal with the delicious sizzling brownie, the perfect end to a great evening.

Into the Wild (Rann of Kutch)

There is no better time than Valentine's Day to escape the city for a little romantic sojourn. If faraway destinations are not an option, we suggest a spectacular getaway surprisingly close to the city. The Little Rann of Kutch, situated at just 90 km away from Ahmedabad, is the perfect spot for a quiet Valentine's Day weekend. Spend a quiet evening in the breathtaking salt desert where you can just sit and stare into the horizon marveling at the fascinating landscape hearing the sounds of silence.

Time Travel (Night walk)

There's something about heritage and old culture that brings a live stories of nostalgia and makes you relive the bygone era. And the warmth is doubled if you're enjoying it with your partner. If this sounds like your idea of fun, then enroll for the night heritage walk conducted by the House of MG. The evening commences at the majestic heritage hotel House of MG, where the guests gather for the walk. From here, a shuttle takes you to the Mangaldas ni Haveli, a 200-year-old house in the Old City. For a while, transport yourself with your partner to the golden era as you look at the finest examples of ancient carved wooden architecture. Walk past the narrow winding lanes of the city where some of the ancient architectural structures have been beautifully kept alive.

Bake with Love (Couple baking classes)

Give the heart-shaped cake a miss this Valentine's Day and instead enroll for a baking class together and come back equipped with skills to create some beautiful sweet something for special celebrations. Rekindle your romance as you unravel secrets behind fascinating cakes and pastries you love relishing together. Giggle over spilled batter, sneak eat some strawberries, whip eggs together and finally marvel at the beauty you've created. And who knows, one of you might just end up becoming a pastry chef.
