The Adalaj Wav Step Well, built in 1499, is located 18 kilometers north of Ahmedabad in the Gandhinagar district.

The four-level well is dug directly into the water table, exposing fresh water that rises and falls according the seasons and the amount of rainfall.

Though now dry, the well once provided water to weary travellers and pilgrims along the roads outside of Ahmedabad.
