Infinity Rann of Kutch - our volcano :-)

Infinity Rann of Kutch has a volcano ... yes, that's right. The landscape where we are located is dominated by the massif of Dinodhar, an extinct volcano which is right behind our resort.

Excellent for a half-day's excursion with a packed lunch, Dinodhar offers a double thrill: you can climb up the hill, and then climb into the hill!


Steps lead to a temple at the lip of the volcano, after which it is a nature lover's delight. The lava flows are clearly visible and the tracks of a leopard have been recorded from the bottom of the crater! Dinodhar also offers birdwatchers a myriad scrubland species.
