Geography of the region:
• Covering an area of 45, 612 sq. km., Kutch lies in the state
of Gujarat, on the West Coast of India. Topographically,
Kutch is divided into 5 distinct regions:
• (i) The Great Rann, or uninhabited wasteland in the
north,
• (ii) The Grasslands of Banni,
• (iii) Mainland, consisting of planes, hills and dry river
beds,
• (iv) The Coastline along the Arabian Sea in the south, and
• (v) Creeks and mangroves in the west. More loosely, the
southern portion of the Rann is considered an island, with
seawater inundating the land for most of the year. The
mainland is generally plane, but has some hill ranges and
isolated hills.
Climate of Kutch district
• Kutch has a tropical monsoon climate with an
average annual rainfall of approximately 14
inches. The temperature ranges from 2 degrees
Celsius in the winter to 45 degrees Celsius in
the summer. The three main seasons are:
• (i) Summer, from February to June,
