Amazing Gujarat - 6 days in 6 minutes, what a delight

Image
Gujarat Tourism sponsored around a hundred influencers and bloggers from all over India, between 1st and 7th December 2021. They bloggers and influencers were flown in and out of Gujarat and provided complete hospitality and transportation. This was an incredibly smart move by Gujarat tourism. The bloggers got a glimpse of the amazing Gujarat landscape, its heritage, flora and fauna. The visit to the Kutch, the Tent City at Dhordo and old Ahmedabad were the highlights of this trip. Hats off to Gujarat Tourism, we are truly impressed with the red carpet the unfolded and the meticulous planning they did to make the visit a truly memorable experience. Thank you #GujaratTourism you have a new set of fans. #incredibleindia #gujarattourism #kutch #dhodra #WildAssSanctuary #discovergujarat #ExploreGujarat #dekhogujarat #Roadtoremember #travelgujara #gujarattourism

Welcome to the Rann of Kutch, Gujarat - vast white landscape

Image
The Rann of Kutch  is a vast white landscape in Kutch District of Gujarat. Nearby is the Dhordo Tent City which is an extraordinary tourist facility, in which one can easily forget that we are in the midst of a once inhospitable, empty, marshy area. Watching the sun go down on the stark horizon is a near mystic experience.

Letting go of paper travel memories -

  JAYSHREE HATANGADI collects catalogues during our travels with great patience and joy. She is today traveling in Varanasi and Sarnath making new memories. I know she will miss these catalogues and maps, but I have her OK to let them go. When we travel we collect a kilogram or two of printed matter. Maps, leaflets, tokens, flyers, mementos and stuff. We keep them carefully for several years as a link of joy to remind us of our holidays. But eventually when they start taking up too much space in our filing cabinet, we must think of removing them.
