Itineary Detail

Today, after breakfast, you'll begin a day-trip to visit a group of villages near Bhuj where you'll meet natives and learn about their culture.

Banni: In the area of Banni in Kutch, the Meghwal-Harijans who emigrated from Rajasthan use Kambira, Kharek, and Kudi Stitches in their embroidery. Also, the satin dot outline and embroidery of the area—and the very tiny mirror designs—are similar to the famous Mutwa embroidery of the region. You'll find wall hangings, vests, and wallets in Kharek Stitch, and beading on portable fans, bracelets, toys, and belts.

Hodka: The name Hodka derives from the Gujarati word 'Hodi' which means 'boat'. Since then, the villages here are called jheels, where drinking water is available. Hodka is as famous for its beautiful embroidery and mud work as it is for its leather. Men and women actively participate in the development of the artistic and craft tradition of the region.

Ludiya Village: Harijans and Muslims are the main communities of this village and their main occupations include monsoon culture, cattle rearing, wood carving, embroidery, and mud and wall painting for home decoration. (Harijan men are involved in wood carving; women in embroidery and wall decoration). 
Dhordo Village: This is the best place to see the beautiful traditional mud houses (Bhungas) and fine Mutwa embroidery using small mirrors.

In the evening, return to your hotel in Bhuj.
