DHOLAVIRA
An archeological site situated in the Kutch district and surrounded by the formidable Rann of Kutch, Dholavira was once an important part of the Harappan Civilization. This fortified city was ruled by fiercely protective men from 2900 BC to 1500 BC. The Harappan settlement found here is one of the major five significant sites unearthed so far. Dholavira, stretching over 50 hectares of semiarid land, had a heavily fortified citadel; followed by a middle town and a lower town.
It is an excavated site of Harrapan period. It is about 250kms from Bhuj, which has air connections to Mumbai, and approximately 212kms from Gandhidham, an important railhead. There are 3 and 4 star accommodations in and around Gandhidham. The formidable Rann Of Kutch, a seasonably marshy region located on the northwestern side of Gujarat surrounds Dholavira.
