A Retake on our existing itinerary that has been in place since 2022, where we stay with Smita at her beautiful home in Bhujodi, the Kutch Courtyard, for 3 nights, a place that's like a museum of art in itself. Here's also interesting about Kutch: it refuses to fit into neat travel brochures. The White Rann stretches endlessly like nature's own canvas, centuries-old crafts are still practiced with the same devotion, and 5,000-year-old remains still have things to teach us.

On arrival in Bhuj, our transport will pick you up from the station, and we'll drive to a nearby hotel to freshen up over breakfast. Then we're off to Dholavira, where the Harappans built a city 5,000 years ago with better drainage than some modern towns. Check in at the resort, enjoy lunch, then visit the Fossil Park, proof that this stark desert was once a thriving ocean. End your day at the sunset point, watching the White Rann blush pink and gold. Dinner and overnight stay at Rann Resort.
Early morning, walk through the remains of Dholavira, one of the grandest cities of the Harappan Civilization, when it's just you, the stones, and 5,000 years of silence. Your guide brings their story alive, revealing sophisticated water management and urban planning that thrived when most of the world lived in huts. After breakfast, visit the Harappan Museum, take a village walk to see how locals thrive in one of India's harshest yet most beautiful landscapes, then drive along the spectacular Road to Heaven with the endless White Rann making you feel like you're driving on clouds. Stop at Kalo Dungar, where gravity takes a coffee break and vehicles roll uphill on their own (science can explain it, but it still feels like magic), climb to the peak for views stretching into Pakistan, then drive to India Bridge, as close to the border as you can get without a passport check. Halt for lunch, then head to Nirona, where Rogan art on cloth, copper bells hammered until they sing just right, and lacquered wood that gleams remind you that fast fashion is just a sad rumor here. The roads being better helps with the drive as we make a stop at Dhordo to get an idea of the tent city, and then drive straight to Kutch Courtyard Bhuj for the night.
After a leisurely breakfast, enjoy some time in the village of Bhujodi before setting out on a drive to what promises to be a day with nature as we move to the Banni Biosphere Area, famous for sunset evening views that make you forget your phone exists (almost). Guided by the area expert, catch the winter migration of birds for the evening Birding Safari, where flocks of cranes make the sky look serene in the reserve. It's the kind of moment where nature reminds you who's really in charge. Dinner and overnight stay at Kutch Courtyard.
After breakfast, visit the Shyamji Krishna Verma Memorial, spread over 52 Acres, called “Kranti Tirth” honoring the revolutionary who gave the British Empire a massive headache. Drive to Mandvi, the old and most important capital of the Kutch region. A major port, an active 400-year-old shipbuilding industry, still constructing massive wooden vessels called dhows, entirely by hand. Later, we will have lunch in Mandvi, followed by high tea at Vijay Vilas Palace, experiencing the calm coastal atmosphere. Watch the sunset from your private beach where the waves, palace, and golden light conspire to create the kind of moment cameras try (but fail) to capture. Return to Kutch Courtyard for the night.
After brunch, visit Smritivan, then drive to Bhuj town, the administrative capital of Kutch, and enjoy our last day not only in the town but also in some of the local artisan villages nearby, like Ajrakhpur, where the LLDC (Living and Learning Design Center) is located, which displays the textile culture in all its glory. Here, 200 families practice only Ajrakh block printing, which is a meticulous and intricate craft. It is the total opposite of fast fashion, and that's precisely the point. Continuing to Bhujodi for last-minute shopping among traditional weavers (your suitcase might complain, but you won't regret it), spend leisure time in Bhuj town, enjoy dinner, and board your night train home, with handmade handkerchiefs tucked in your bag and the honest urge to return for more.
