THE INCREDIBLE KUTCH

A mesmerizing kaleidoscope of centuries-old traditions and spectacular nature is what awaits you in the Kutch region in Gujarat. A large part of this district is known as the Rann of Kutch which is shallow wetland submerged in water during the rainy season and becomes dry during other seasons. The Rann is famous for its marshy salt flats which become snow white after the shallow water dries up. The district is also famous for the ecologically important Banni grasslands with their seasonal marshy wetlands which form the outer belt of the Rann of Kutch.
Kutch District is surrounded by the Gulf of Kutch and the Arabian Sea in the south and west, while the northern and eastern parts are surrounded by the Great and Little Rann of Kutch. The walled city of Bhuj is the headquarters of the Kutch district.
