About Kutch Tourism

History of Kutch

The region of Kutch still encompasses many numerous sites that belong to the popular Indus Valley civilization. Controlled by Menaders and Indo-Scythians, later it got ruled by the Maurya Empire. Being influenced by the Western Satraps in the first century, the region came under the control of many empires. Eventually, as it also came under the British Raj in 1819, it became a state after the independence of India under the Union of India in 1950.

Culture of Kutch

Famed for its traditional and cultural heritage, here locals can be found to be engaged in some or other creative art form. The folk music, dance and art attract thousands of visitors to this place. Prolific in embroidery work, the locals of Kutch create beautiful garments densed with motifs. The staple food of the region is bajra, kadhi, khichdi and milk.

Best of Kutch

Sprawling over an area of more than 45000 sq km, the Great Rann of Kutch is one of the largest districts in India. Replete with splendid mud architecture, exquisite handicrafts, and spellbinding apparels, this region is defined by its creative artwork.

Let’s explore all the major tourist places in Kutch through our detailed Kutch travel guide:

Rann of Kutch Festival

Being one of the most amazing festivals of Kutch, Rann Utsav is a portrayal of the ethnic beauty of its rural area. Located at a distance of about 85 kms from Bhuj, this place attracts thousands of tourists every year. Besides guest accommodation, this place also encompasses a club house, a conference hall, a cafe, and a rejuvenation centre that make it even more attractive.

Here, one can witness the largest collection of Kutch’s local currency and Kshatrapa inscriptions along with Kutchi script. Apart from that one can also get acquainted with the tribal culture, and enjoy the exhibition of paintings, sculptures, metal work and much more that used to prevail in the region of Kutch.

Bhuj

Tourism in Kutch begins from Bhuj which marks the beginning of the Rann of Kutch and draws specific attention to the Mandvi beach located here. One of the best places to visit in Kutch, the Narayan Sarovar located in Bhuj has earned huge popularity owing to its intermixing of 5 pious lakes namely Man Sarovar, Pampa Sarovar, Bindu Sarovar, Pushkar Sarovar and Narayan Sarovar. The breathtakingly beautiful sight of Hamirsar Lake included in the Kutch tour guide can be enjoyed with a walk around its border.

Kutch tourism never misses out on the beauty of Kandla Port and Mundra Port, the joint conjecture of which is mainly visited for the rare sightings of various species of birds. For historical references book a day for the Anjar town and Gandhidham which is the capital of Kutch.

Tourism in Gujarat offers the list of authentic dishes too. Owing to the overwhelming influence of Jainism and Buddhism, the food here has the tastiest shade of vegetarian delicacies. Kutch has its own traditional delicacy of Bajra-na-Rotla which is accompanied by Lassi, Buttermilk or Chhas. The place breathes within the essence of Gujarati thali, chakri, dhokla, papar, Kachumber, fafda, sev, Khandvi, and Khaman.

Meghha's 5 days trip to Kutch

I had a great trip to part of Gujarat. My main agenda of the trip was to visit Rann of Kutch and I included local sight seeing in Ahmedabad. My travel and stay in Bhuj and Rann of Kutch was managed Diu Holidays, assisted by Anjali. I had a good experience with the travel agency - she was available on call for any of my planning and queries related to travel. The hotel in Bhuj was the best. It has been recently renovated with beautiful decor and good service. Rann of Kutch tent stay was great, but the tent itself was average. It is quite old and needs basic improvements to the faucets in the washroom, and AC maintenance. It was clean and the people managing the property were helpful, food was great and entertainment in common area was also good. Overall I had a good break taking this short trip to Gujarat.

FAQ's of Kutch

Read on to find out why our customers love us!

Navaratri, Rann Utsav, and Uttarayan (kite festival) are famous festivals in Gujarat. The Bhavnath Fair in Junagadh, Vautha Fair in Vautha, Shamlaji Mela near Himmatnagar, and Dang Darbar in Ahwa are popular fairs to visit in Gujarat.

While Gujaratis are known for their vegetarianism, non-veg food is not all that hard to find in major cities in Gujarat. There are plenty of restaurants serving all kinds of cuisine in Gujarat.

Gujarat is renowned for being a dry state, meaning alcohol is banned in the state. It is not advised for travellers to purchase liquor illegally in Gujarat. However, there are some designated high-end hotels that sell alcohol to permit holders. A permit can be acquired from the officials by showing a valid identity proof. Non-Indians can also purchase a 30-day permit to buy alcohol in Gujarat.

Ahmedabad is considered one of the safest city in India, especially for solo travellers. The Gujaratis are very warm and welcoming people. However, it is best to take care of yourself like in any other place during travel and keep your luggage safe at all times.
