On
the outskirts of Bhuj, in the Rann of Kutch lies The Kutch Safari Lodge. For an
ideal getaway to this beautiful place on the western tip of India. The Kutch
Safari Lodge is an ideal home base, for excursions into the deeper landscape of
the desert, in search of human diversity and diverse flora and fauna. The unique
lifestyle and beautiful traditional homes transport you into a different home
away from home.
For those who come expecting a
concrete monolith, and an urbanized hotel, The Kutch Safari Lodge is a complete
surprise. What one comes across instead is an earthly hamlet spread over
seventeen beautifully appointed independent suite cottages perched atop an oasis
in the desert – The Rudramata Reservoir.
The location of The Kutch Safari
Lodge is an ideal base camp for any expedition in to the Rann of Kutch, or more
popularly referred to as the Banni Region. The Banni Region is a combination of
desert swamp lands which is pockmarked by tiny inhabitations, which make their
living making exquisite handicrafts and beautiful traditional art forms. The
Kutch Safari Lodge is just a few miles fro the Bhuj airport and stands on the
out skirts of a different kind of rustic beauty.
Accommodation :
The rustic ‘Bhunga’ - Cottages a traditional home of the Kutchi people is
just what the rooms are made to reflect. The interior of each Bhunga is
delicately chosen in authentic mud and mirror patterns draped in colourful
fabric, which is the handicraft of skilled artisans perfected over generations.
Accommodation Facilities :
Pristine white walls leading the eye to a golden
brown thatched roof, these traditional looking and modest little cottages are
actually luxurious in nature and are air conditioned. All cottages are twin
bedrooms with attached bathroom and modern toilets.
Resort Facilities :
The superb central dining hall is
remnant of the day’s old concept of eating together and creating bonhomie with
other guests at the lodge. The central hall sits fifty people along with a
separate facility on the verandah overlooking the reservoir for a feeling of
eating on the edge.
The cuisine at The Kutch Safari
Lodge ranges from the delectable Indian food to the continental menus. The space
around this dining hall is a sprawling green lawn complete with swings for a
dinner in the open, amongst the performing artists, or just plain nature.
The luxury of the lodge itself is
enough to wash away the tardiness of the days’ expedition. A refreshing pool and
beautiful exterior settings make for a perfect evening after the travails of the
day.
The services at The Kutch Safari
Lodge include a pool side barbeque dinner a, musical evening of local artists or
even a lovely dinner setting in the garden overlooking the reservoir.
