Rann of Kutch ride, day 6

Chai and chivda... The permissions haven't come through for such a large group to cross the Little Rann. So its a long haul of approx 450 km on highways to Zainabad today.

Rann of Kutch ride, day 5, Kala Dungar

Went up to the border to Sardar Outpost, where the CRPF fought a memorable battle in 1965. Its situated at border pillar 1115, the last border pillar number 1175 is at Sir Creek, 50 km westward. On the way back to Hodka is the highest point in all of Kutch-Kala Dungar all of 485 metres high which provides a fantastic view, almost 360 degrees, of the flooded Rann.

Rann of Kutch ride, day 5, India Bridge

The last point where civilians are allowed. Looks like we may get to go ahead. The border guys are nervous though about letting us through...

Rann of Kutch ride, day 5, Hodka Village

Today we ride to India Bridge, the last point where civilians are allowed. However, we have permissions to go further on, deep into the Great Rann, visiting outposts that are close to the border. This will be a first for motorcyclists. Good on ya Royal Enfield!
