Those in India will very well remember the ads of Gujrat Tourism has Amitabh standing there in the middle of white ground. That place is called the 'Rann of Kutch' and that while ground is a huuuuge area of salt flats. That's our own Indian version of a mini Salar di Uyuni!!! Sadly we didn't have time to explore this area. We just went past this place on our way to Dholavira and stopped for a few minutes to take some shots!!!
The never ending salt flats behind me!
The dried, blistered salty terrain's texture!
That's the remains of a simple, rustic bridge that was there!
The salt flats with some pug marks too!
