Around the World

It is difficult to describe in words the moment the Golden Temple comes into your view for the very first time. It is simply breath-taking, stunningly beautiful, more so with the reflections that are mirrored in the large tank (named Amrit Sarovar) which surrounds it.  While it is generally known as the Golden Temple due to the gold-gilded dome, the name of this holy complex is Harmandir Sahib.  Within the Golden Temple, there are various exits leading to other areas like the Akal Takht. Make enquiries beforehand as, once inside, it is such a vast complex that you may get a little confused.

At the outset, there are two important points to note about Fortune Park Hotel, Ahmedabad. Firstly, this hotel was earlier Park Plaza Ahmedabad and not everyone is aware that it is now under the new name of Fortune Park and is an ITC Group hotel.  Secondly, this hotel is entirely different from Fortune Landmark Hotel which is at Ashram Road , Ahmedabad.  So when you are hiring transport from the airport or boarding the Airport Shuttle bus or taking an auto to and fro to tourist spots around the city, make sure you state that it is the hotel opposite Gujarat Law College. That way, you will not end up at the wrong hotel!
