I have been getting a lot of phone calls and messages about people asking what are the must visit places in Kutch. And this is while everyone is being planning their visit to the now famous Rann Utsav in the white rann of kutch.
Being a dry climatic region, inadequate rainfalls year after years adds up to the dry climates throughout the year. December to February is considered the best and the most pleasant time to visit the incredible land of the White Rann.
The two major railway stations connecting Kutch to the rest of the country are
1. Gandhidham
2. Bhuj.
And Bhuj being the airport as well.
There are numerous hotels to stay in Gandhidham as well as Bhuj.
Those coming on their trip to kutch for atleast 4 days can visit the following places
Finding a place to stay for a night halt is not difficult. Whilst in the interiors of kutch, the many pilgrimage places and temples have their own wonderful Dharamshalas with all the facilities.
You need to hire a car for your entire visit if at all you would want to visit the above mentioned places and do not want to miss out on anything.
Experience it to know more , I am sure you would fall in love with this quiet, serene and extravagant place on the westernmost border of the country.
