Sacred sarovar
Around 155 kms from Bhuj Kutch , mode of transport is road only , good road travel by Gujarat S T or private vehicles , India has 4 sacred sarovar on 4 sides , Narayan sarovar is sacred sarovar on the west side , unfortunately sarovar remain dry , most of the time , except rainy days as Kutch doesn't receive good rain, there is a temple of Trikamrayji (lord Krishna) before the sarovar , about 2 places where one can stay , both run by trust , Gujarati food is also available , it has more of religious attraction .

Narayan Sarovar or Narayansar is a village and place of pilgrimage for Hindus on the Kori Creek. It is located in Lakhpat taluka of Kutch district, Gujarat, India. The ancient Koteshwar temple lies only 4 km awaThe temples, the chief buildings in the place, are surrounded by a fortified wall, outside of which cluster the villagers' houses. It was formerly connected with the mainland by a yellow stone causeway, about 3000 feet long and fifteen wide, built in 1863 by a Bhatia of Bombay, named Gokaldas Liladhar Padsha, at a cost of about £2500 (1,00,000 Kutch koris).Now the new causeway is built In a land replete with pilgrimage sites, Narayan Sarovar is a different kind of holy experience.

Narayan Sarovar Lake is one of the 5 holy lakes of Hinduism, along with Mansarovar in Tibet, Pampa in Karnataka, Bhuvaneshwar in Orissa and Pushkar in Rajasthan. The lake is associated with a time of drought in the Puranic area, when Narayan (a form of Lord Vishnu) appeared in response to the fervent prayers of sages and touched the land with his toe, creating the lake, now revered as holy to bathe in (though this is not recommended). There are temples to Shri Trikamraiji, Laxminarayan, Govardhannathji, Dwarkanath, Adinarayan, Ranchodraiji and Laxmiji, built by the wife of Maharao Desalji. These are of more interest to those on religious pilgrimage here; other visitors are likely to find Koteshwar a more interesting option. How to get there By road: From Bhuj, 125 km away, buses go to Narayan Sarovar twice a day (morning and evening). However, that is the only public
