This time strongly reminds the fever of the 2011 World Cup.
There is a little change in venue selection. In 2011 India lifted the trophy at Wankhede Stadium. This time, the winning team will celebrate their victory in the gorgeous Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad. Just not the final, four other matches are also scheduled in that stadium. Ahmedabad is a city of Culture, food, and generous people. This city became more pretty before the big tournament. This is a city of celebrations. Touring in this city during World Cup time is not an easy thing. Here is a head-to-toe guide to experiencing the city’s warmth during the World Cup time.
World Cup Fixtures:
The first and most important thing before coming to the city is knowing the World Cup fixtures’ date and time correctly. The tournament will raise its curtain in this beautiful stadium. On October 5, England and New Zealand will be locking horns on the big stage. With this match, the tournament will start. Other fixtures are:
- India vs. Pakistan on October 14.
- England vs. Australia on November 4.
- South Africa vs. Afghanistan on November 10.
- The World Cup Final on November 19.
Those are the fixtures. The city will be experiencing the high voltage match between India and Pakistan. Fans always wait to see this match. Apart from these two teams, England and Australia are tough competitors. On November 4, these two teams will be warming the ground. On November 10, South Africa will face Afghanistan. These are the group-stage matches scheduled to happen in the stadium. And after years of waiting, this glorious stadium will organize the World Cup final on November 19.
Weather and the stadium capacity:
Enjoying an uninterrupted match is everyone’s dream. But rain is the biggest enemy in those days. The warm-up matches are going on. Few are already abandoned because of the rain. Fans are already disappointed. But there is good news for the fans. There is no chance of rain during October-November. The temperature will be 36 degrees to 16 degrees during these two months.
Another concern is the capacity of the stadium. Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad is the World’s largest cricket stadium. 132,000 spectators can sit and enjoy the matches.
How to reach the stadium:
The date and time of the match, weather forecast, and stadium capacity are done. The next most important thing for the visitors is knowing the exact and easy route to reach the stadium. The stadium is 8.3 kilometers away from the airport. Anyone can take a taxi and reach the stadium easily. The fare starts from 110 rupees.
If anyone is traveling via trains, here is a way out for them as well. The stadium is 11 km away from Ahmedabad railway station. Anyone can book a taxi or an auto to reach the stadium. The fare is around 140 rupees.
Metro is another easy root. SP metro station is just 0.4 km away from the stadium. This route would be very helpful for the differently abled fans. They have wheelchair facilities over there. Metro smart card facilities are also there. The card can be purchased by paying 100 rupees. The cards can be recharged from the token vending machines in the stations.
Staying places:
The most important thing is to find some good hotels. It is also necessary to find a hotel near the stadium where anyone can go quickly in the stadium and after the match can return safely and quickly. Here are some good recommendations for staying places. The first one is Key Select by Lemon Tree, which is just 3.56 km away from the stadium. The second one is Hotel Elysian Residency which is just 5.39 km away. Hotel Motor Inn could be the best. It is just 1.68 km away.
Best shops of the places:
Staying in Ahmedabad and not buying anything is odd. This doesn’t happen commonly. Gujrat is the state of culture. Chaniya Choli is the main cloth of the state. Everyone is amazed by the Chaniya Cholis, they were in the time of Garba. Anyone can pick a Gujarati Chaniya Choli in Lal Darwaza. Gujrat is a place of amazing textiles. Didn’t find any shop? You can go to Ghatakarna Mohair Market. Booklovers may think, may Gijrat have any places for them? The answer is a big yes!! Fernando’s Bridge Book Market is a stop destination for them. If anyone wants to carry a piece of Gujrat then this is also possible. They can pick some amazing art crafts from Kapasi.
Delicious Gujarati food:
Food is a weak point of the majority. Trying different foods is the main thing in exploring new places. Gujarati cuisine is famous for its delicious food. Let’s start with the breakfast. for breakfast, New Irani restaurant is your destination. Being in Gujrat and not trying the famous Gujarati thali is a punishment for a foodie. They can enjoy their delicious thali at Chandra Villa. People are all about thinking about the lunch in breakfast and having lunch with the thought of dinner. Lunch date can happen at Gopi Dinning Hall and Agashiye can be your dinner place. A must-try recommendation is never missing Gujarati street food.
Lastly, This state is a dry state and alcohol selling and carrying is a crime over here. This is a must-know tip before traveling to the state. But there is a chance to experience the Navaratri in Gujarati style. This is the biggest festival in the state. Visitors can experience Garba in that time. But you need to carry ID proof at that time.
This is a celebration time. The traditional festival and the cricket festival will be celebrated together this year. The hype of this festive time is unmatchable. The biggest cricket tournament is set to start from October 5. Fans are hoping for the best. In 2011, India hosted the tournament and ended up being the winner. This time fans are hoping for the same.
