Place Considerations
- Weather and Dress code
- The city experiences mild and pleasant weather at this time, with daytime temperatures typically ranging from 18°C to 28°C (64°F to 82°F). The evenings can get cooler, especially toward the end of the month, with temperatures occasionally dipping to around 12°C (54°F). Given this comfortable climate, we recommend light to medium layers for daytime activities, and a light jacket or sweater for the evening. January is also a dry month, with minimal rainfall, which makes it ideal for outdoor sessions and gatherings. However, it’s advisable to stay hydrated and protect yourself from the sun during the afternoon hours, as the UV index can still be high.
Currency
The local currency in Ahmedabad is the Indian Rupee (INR). While credit and debit cards are commonly accepted in most hotels, shopping areas, and restaurants, it’s still a good idea to have some cash on hand for smaller transactions. ATMs are easily accessible throughout the city, and currency exchange services are available at the airport, major hotels, and authorized exchange counters.We recommend exchanging a small amount of currency before your arrival, or once you reach the city, to avoid any inconvenience. Always ensure you’re using official channels for currency exchange to get the best rates and ensure security.
