The Kutch travel guide advises tourists to visit between December–February, during which Kutch celebrates the most popular Rann Festival in which the complete grandeur of the beach is decorated meticulously with numerous cultural festivals and adventure activities. Tourism in Kutch district supplements the visitors with the glimpses of our neighboring country Pakistan and the Indo-Pakistan border.
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. Come here to witness some entertaining shows and performances, and to buy creative handicrafts that are worth of taking back home along.
Kutch Museum
If one wants to dig into the history and culture of this region, then Kutch Museum comes as the best recommendation for them. Nestled in the heart of the city, it was established in the year of 1877. 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.
