Tribals of Gujarat TourDestinations : Mumbai - Ahmedabad - Bharwad - Gowala - Patan - Rann of Kutch - Bhuj - Mumbai Day 1 : Arrive In Mumbai:  Arrive Mumbai and transfer to the Hotel. Day 2 : Fly to Ahmedabad, then drive to Utelia, a feudal village clustered around a medieval palace. Overnight in Hotel Day 3: The Bharwad A pastoral people, the Bharwad are shepherds and cattlemen. No longer wanderers, most Bharwadi live in villages painting their houses primarily in blues, greens and white. Day 4 : A Stepwell & Sun Temple Our drive to Balaram takes us away from life today and into the past. We plan three major stops: a museum, a stepwell (baoli), and a sun temple. Day 5: The Gowala & The Garacia Tribes that are second cousins to each other, they differ only in the manner of living; the Gowala are more settled, the Garacia are still prone to roaming, and their women dress is a manner slightly less ostentatious than the Gowala females. Day 6 : Patan's Patola Weavers and The Rani-ki-Vav An art that today is only practised by three families,patola is an intricate form of double ikat weaving that is so difficult and demanding that one sari can take up to six months to complete. Day 7 : The Banjara and The Rabari The Little Rann of Kutch separates Kutch from the rest of Gujarat. It is an area composed of marshy salt flats and inhospitable terrain.  Day 8 : Into The Rann of Kutch Today, we head westward into the bleak countryside of Kutch, Gujarat’s last frontier. It will be a day of driving, with no scheduled stops, only those of our own choosing as we head toward Bhuj, the region’s capital. This, fortunately, is the season when the Rabari migrate, so it’s possible our journey may be enlivened by meeting a group of them along the way. Day 9 - Day 11: A Melting Pot of Tribes Megwar. Samma. Jat. Mutwa. Ahir. Rabari. These are just some of the tribes we will photograph over the next four days as we make daily excursions into the barren and inhospitable landscape that is the Great Rann of Kutch. Day 12: Homeward Bound Saturday morning we fly from Bhuj to Mumbai. Upon arrival, we are transferred to our hotel. In the late evening be driven to the airport for onward flights. |
