Hamirsar Lake is the heart of Bhuj city and is located in the western end of Kutch, Gujarat. Bhuj is known for hot and dry summers. This lake is considered an oasis between saline and dry marshes. The kings built the lake in ancient times to meet the domestic needs of the people of Bhuj. Hamirsar Lake was well developed with a channel and tunnels that carried water from three rivers to fill the city’s reservoirs. But after the 2001 earthquake in Bhuj, this water system was seriously distorted.
The Municipality and the people of Bhuj once again took the initiative to revive the water system to its original form to meet the needs of its people. This achievement was achieved in 2003. The water of Hamirsar Lake had become potable. This man-made lake was named after the Jadega ruler Rao Hamir, who ruled about 450 years ago. Rao Hamir is considered to be the father of Rao Khengarji, the founder of the Jadeja dynasty in Kutch.
9. Kalo Dungar
About the location: North of the village of Khavda, Kalo Dungar (Black Hill) marks Kutch’s highest point (462 m), with remarkable views of the Great Rann salt flat (or inland sea if you’re visiting during the monsoon). You’ll need your own transport to visit. The hill is also famous for a 400-year old temple dedicated to Lord Dattatreya. You walk to the edge of the hill and look over at the sprawling blanched landscape that changes hues as the day progresses and the sun sinks behind the mountains. A 15-min drive from the base of the hill lands you on the India bridge that connects the far north of Kutch to the mainland. The area comes under the jurisdiction of the army and photography is not allowed. The Indo-Pak border lies about 40 km north from here.
Brief History: Legends say that Lord Dattatreya stopped to rest here and found a group of starving jackals. He offered them his body to eat and as they ate, his body continually regenerated itself. For the last four centuries, the priests at the temple prepare cooked rice for jackals who come in the late evenings for a meal.

Vande Mataram memorial is the first of its kind. The tour guide takes you through the history of India, beginning from the time the British set foot on the shores of India. Everything is well set, the sculptures are awesome, it definitely touches the heart, the narrative.
The 4D show on the memorial in the evenings are worth a watch. The only recommendation would be to have a leaflet or an audio guide in English for people who do not understand the language.
