Kachchh, Gujarat:
evening in a village
In January 2016, I once again flew to Kachchh in the westernmost corner of Gujarat, India. I had come here almost yearly for research since my first visit in 2008/09, but this time I would not leave the country after my work was done – instead, I was going to live in Jaipur, Rajasthan, for one year.
Although Kachchh has seen considerable development in recent times, it is still a comparatively remote place. The countryside is dotted with little villages depending on agriculture. Its capital, Bhuj, is a bustling place with lively markets, but also serene ancient palaces.
After around two weeks in Kachchh, the overnight train took me to Jaipur in Rajasthan – my new base for the coming twelve months. Click here to see what I experienced there!

Nice insight. I have never heard of this place, and it does indeed look very remote!
yes, it is still remote, but more and more tourists come these days! I like it a lot!
I love looking at your photos!
thank you!! 🙂 makes me happy to hear that from you!! 🙂
I love India. I lived in Jaipur, Rajasthan as well. But just for 2 months, not one year like you will do. Good luck and I am looking forward to read more 🙂
thank you!! What is your favourite place in India? I know, it’s a difficult question, but you may try to decide anyways! 🙂
