Bhuj Hotels

Bhuj is the biggest city in the Kutch . It is a very old city and worth a visit. It is also an ideal starting point for visiting the Rann of Kutch, a nature reserve where you may see tha famous wil ass of Rann. In January 2001, Gujarat was hit by a severe earthquake. Except for the natural surroundings, Bhuj vanished. Disappeared into nothingness. Many of its inhabitans were killed and Gujarat will never be the same again, let alone Bhuj. It is worth to visit the place. Bhuj has very good community of craftsman and it is known for it. The capital of Kutch is an interesting outback city resurrected from the 2001 earthquake that killed 10% of the city's 150, 000 people, and devastated its rich cultural heritage. But the city's physical and psychological scars are healing, and much of interest still remains. The beguiling bazaars sell amazing Kutch handicrafts, and some historic buildings, such as the Aina Mahal and Prag Mahal, have an eerie beauty that makes Bhuj more than just a springboard for visits to the surrounding tribal villages.The reconstruction of Bhuj has been an expectedly slow process – settlements of itinerant workers still line the roads in and out of the city – and to encourage economic growth, the government has opened up the surrounding salt plains on a cheap lease, with 10-year tax-free incentives. The industries that came forward though were largely salt or chemical plants – many from outside the region – so it remains to be seen what impact this will have on local flora and fauna.
