About Bhuj

Bhuj, the main town of Kutch, would best be described as charming. It used to be an old walled city. In the past, its gates were locked each night from dusk till dawn. Today, the city extends well beyond the walls of Bhujia Fort and yet retains all of its glory. You can wander for hours in the intricate maze-like streets and alleyways of this fascinating town, with mesmerizing crafts.


Waving our hands to stop the three wheeled vehicles, and gazing at the streets whilst the winds past us through. Looking at the soothing lake that surrounds, and entering a contrast, where sand is all that is around. Walking in the scorching sun in expanse of Motapir, being in the last straw, and looking at the enthusiastic bunch of kids around, is convivial experience.


The frolicsome atmosphere followed us through the house of chirpy people both young and old, where time flied like a bird and at the end of the day “energy” haloed around and working was never such boisterous.
