Kutch

A Weekend in Kutch

Desert, craft villages and a frontier city — in 48 hours.

Day 1

Bhuj Old City

Aina Mahal, bustling bazaars and the rebuilt heart of Kutch.

Sunset

The Great Rann

Walk out onto endless white salt as the light turns pink.

Day 2

Craft Villages

Ajrakh block-print, bandhani and mirror-work embroidery by hand.

Coast

Mandvi Beach

A long quiet shore and a 400-year-old shipbuilding yard.

Take home

Buy at the Source

Handwoven textiles cost far less bought from the artisans.

Plan it

Go in Winter

November to February, when the salt is firm and nights are cool.
