Milk Delivery
Delivery of milk in the coastal town of Mandvi. Today I passed through the Topic of Cancer and saw endless Castor Oil crops..a totally noxious weed in Australia.
What an experience to drive over the Kutch Desert toward Little Rann Sanctuary. This place is famous for its birds in the middle of the desert and many migratory birds flock here including Flamingo. But I did not see any of those this time. This place is an amount of water that is left from the monsoon rains that does not evaporate in the middle of the desert. Truly an oasis. Camels, buffalo, herdsman and their goats and sheep come here to drink. The desert was once a big inland river and in 1879 an earthquake diverted the river into Pakistan, hense now a desert.
I visited Hodka Village, a kind of eco tourism venture. Local tribes have been invited to share their customs and beautiful handicrafts with foreigners such as myself.

Dear Traveller, This is Kuldip from Bhuj Kutch who is really glad to view your blog and pictures. It is so nice that you had good time in Kutch. I hope you won't mind my little correction in your blog about separation of Sindhu river which in fact, divided its route in 1819 instead of 1879. For more info about Kutch you may contact me via email cool_k_deep@yahoo.com All the best! Kuldip
