About Kutch Tourism

This district of Gujarat brings to mind a unique landscape with salty marshlands and no vegetation. Situated on the Gulf of Kutch, leading to the Arabian Sea, it is also known as the Rann of Kutch. The word Kutch or Kachchh, means tortoise in Sanskrit, and interestingly the shape of the region is rather like a tortoise. The word also means something that becomes alternately wet and dry, and it is true that the Rann of Kutch becomes submerged under water during the rains. Kutch is the second-largest district in India after Leh. The headquarters of the district are at Bhuj town. Tourism activities here involve desert safaris by jeep, camel rides, shopping for the unique local handicrafts, and sighting the rare wild ass found in the Little Rann of Kutch sanctuary. The people of Kutch comprise of nomadic, semi-nomadic and artisan tribes who contribute to the rich folk art and culture of the region. The embroidered garments with mirror-work and the camel wool shawls from here are extremely famous; as is the chunky silver jewellery and carved woodcraft. You could visit the villages around Bhuj as each of them makes

"Little Rann of Kutch" new review

Kutch Experience: Little Rann of Kutch is a birding destination. But one that is awesome! It is in the middle of nowhere and there is nothing impressive except you consider endless stretches of while salt pans as beautiful. What makes this place a Birders' Paradise is the variety of birds that visit the place in winter. In a compact area, it gives you access to a large umber of exotic birds like the MacQuinn's Bustard, Short eared Owl, the Scops Owl, several species of Larks, Coursers and shrikes. The scenery of thousands of Flamingoes is a sight to cherish for the rest of your life. There are easily at least three different species of Cranes including the incomparable Damoiselle Cranes and Common Cranes. Rustic romantic huts to stay, delicious food to enjoy, and dotting staff to look after you and finally lots or birds and people who are willing to take you and show you all that you wish to see. What more can one ask for? Yes. I forgot. The Wild Asses and Jackals!
Food, sight-seeing and shopping: Birding, Birding and more Birding
Activities & things to do: Bird watching, Birding, Bird Photography
Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc: Take one of those lovely trains to Ahmedabad and take a taxi to Little Rann of Kutch (LRK). Gujarat is dry. So carry no liquor.

"Banni Kutch"

Kutch Experience: If I have to describe the landscape of Banni I would say it is dry, quiet and sandy coloured land with ‘Juliflora’ bushes where one can enjoy the sound of ringing bells (tied around buffalos’ neck) grazing around with/without herder who wears colourful costumes to add some life in this dry and harsh region and many of them are still enjoying their simplicity of life, far way from urban issues.. Aren’t they lucky?
Food, sight-seeing and shopping: Dhordo Hodka Ludiya Bhirandiyara Kalo Dungar (black hills) are some of the key villages in banni one must visit
Activities & things to do: Embroidery, Mud work, traditional way of living, seeing sunrise or sunset in the great rann or from the Kalo dungar..
Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc: Private vehicle is most convenient way to get there and travel around Banni as the Govt buses schedule won't suit you.
