Pingleshwar Beach of Abdasa Kothara can be the next tourist destination in Kutch, Gujarat.
Gujarat is blessed with many beautiful places from Patan to Gir Kutch, Jamnagar, Dwarka to Ahmedabad and other areas of East Gujarat.
Forts of Kutch Abdasa:
Today I would talk about Abdasa Kutch, a hidden gem of Gujarat. Many are unaware of the fact that Kutch Abdasa has many mesmerizing forts like Roha, Tera, Kothara which are still humongously strong, and it can be a tourist attraction like the neighbouring state, Rajasthan.
Beautiful Climate Condition of Kutch Abdasa:
Many don’t know that Abdasa’s climate condition is fantastic, and it is even more beautiful in Winter. Desi food, lovely people and many places around where you can enjoy your time as a tourist.
Abdasa Kothara:
People only talk about Mata na Madh, White Rann of Kutch and Mandvi beach. Still, people actually miss out noticing the real beauty of Kutch; I am talking about Abdasa Kothara and surrounding areas.
Abdasa Kothara, located in the western part of Kutch, is an important place from ancient times. Many people used to say Naliya Kothara, but sadly today many don’t know about this place due to several reasons. We are losing real-time ancient gems which is due to lack of growth in this area.
Haloji:
According to the sources Haloji founded Kothara and surrounding areas way back in the 17th century. Kshatriyas -Jadeja’s, Sodhas, Brahmins, Muslims, Lohana, Hingora, Sanghar, Ker and Sikh Community too are now the main residents of these towns.
Gudkhars of Abdasa:
When you talk about Abdasa Kothara, the first thing that comes to mind is Gudkhars. Yes, rare Gudkhars are seen in Abdasa and nearby places of Kothara. But what’s beyond that?
Hidden Beach of Gujarat Pingleshwar Mahadev:
Well, many don’t know that it has a place which can be the next tourist destination for many. I am talking about Pingleshwar Beach, which is around 20km away from kothara, one of the most beautiful places and roaring Arabian sea, which is still untapped by thousands of tourists. It also has Jakhau Bandar which was used for trading in ancient times and Nayaro River.
We all know about Dwarka, Somnath, Mandvi Beach but what about Pingleshwar Mahadev temple? This place I feel is the perfect place for all the tourists who want to spend some quality time in Winters and also witness the pristine beach.
Kutch Abdasa Kothara and it’s nearby stunning locations for Tourists: Abdasa Kothara has Ancient temples Nearly 300-year Ashapura Temple, Pathapeer, Kameshwar Mahadev Temple, The DarbarGadh- Fort, Shantinath Jain Derashar, Bokhari dargah kothara kutch/Bukhari Peer Dargah kutch and Amazing roaring Pingleshwar beach, desi food and beautiful climate.
I feel it’s the right time for the Gujarat Government and tourism industry to promote Pingleshwar Mahadev Beach. It can be a big tourist attraction in the coming years like Mandvi Beach, White Runn along with other destinations. After all, tourism plays a vital role in the progress of the place, and I feel entire Abdasa and nearby areas have some stunning locations. The Gujarat Government should highlight it, and few measures should be in place to encourage tourism in Kutch Abdasa.
