Can you do a write-up on the board on what Bhuj is like today? I was there pre-earthquake, wonder what is left of it. I hear mixed reports on it.

Hi Machadinha
Here is the answer on your comment on the picture.

This was our first visit to Bhuj so I cannot compare the present situation with the pre-earthquake. A lot of restoration has been done. As far as I understand from older information it is less picturesque.
For us it was a good city to stay and a perfect base for trips around.
As you see my travel journal ( see link below) is completed upon Bhuj, in the next entry I will write more about this subject.

Many thanks. For others, this was the pic that inspired the comment: http://www.indiamike.com/photopost/s...8/limit/recent

I may be back on this later with reminiscences on how it was (or I may well not); will check your journal update.

Please post. That is a journey I wish to do in August 2008. Gujarat is underrated as a tourist destination, perhaps because it is dry (no alcohol)

I was also on pre-quake Bhuj, and will be interested to hear how it has changed. I do have some photos of the old days; I will see if I can get them scanned and upload them. Wasn't it a pretty little town?

I have uploaded some new pictures of Bhuj, I hope that the give an idea how it is there now.
We stayed some days in the city but spend most of our time with trips to places in the area.

I have added our days in Bhuj and further to Dholavira, North Gujarat and Udaipur to my journal.

August would be hot, Raan of Kutch would be a great experiene, take a guide or hire a jeep. It's miles and miles of desolate land to get lost in.

There are tonns of other things to see/ do in and around that ara.

Happy Traveling,

Arkz
