Gujarat - Rann of Kutchh and more

Start off your day by reaching Bhuj early morning. Known for its centuries old buildings, Bhuj has numerous sight seeing options. PragMahal, a princely 19th century palace, now converted into a museum gives you an aura of the regal times of the bygone era.

The 250 year old Palace of Mirrors or Aaina Mahal located in the corner of Hamirsar Lake is nearly in shambles after the devastating earthquake of 2001. A small part of it has been restored and opened to public.

60 Kilometers away from the district headquaters (Bhuj), we decided to pay a visit to the summer palace of Jadeja Rajas of Kutch located on the sea-beach of Mandvi - Vijay Vilas Palace - Favorite spot for filming of Bollywood productions, it is built in red sandstone in the Rajput style. The balcony at the top affords an exquisite view of Mandvi. End your day with some sun kissed sand and ocean breeze at the Mandvi Beach

Travelling 140 Kms in the extreme west, you get to see the temple rising boldly from the sea that washes the western face of Koteshwar Mahadev Temple - enclosed by a fortified wall which says it was built in 1820. The road ends at the temple and gives a magnificent view of the Arabian Sea. Moving 50 kms to the Western most point of India - Lakhpat - located at the mouth of Kori Creek, the town is enclosed by 7 km long 18th-century fort walls and fringes a Gurudwara where the 9th Guru - Guru Nanak Dev Singh spent some time before leaving for Mecca. End your day at tent city - white desert - spending some leisure time - stay at nearby resorts offering traditional touch and enjoy Gujrati cuisine.
