India Bridge is the last civilian-accessible bridge on the road from Bhuj/Dhordo towards the Indo–Pakistan border, after which special permits are required and BSF control begins. Travellers often stop near the checkpoint area to look out over the Kutch Desert Wildlife Sanctuary and the distant white Rann, feeling the atmosphere of India’s far north-west frontier. Simple viewpoints, BSF presence and fluttering flags make it a popular patriotic photo stop, though photography of sensitive installations may be restricted. For Ghoomein, you can present India Bridge as an add-on “border feel drive” from Dhordo, combined with Kalo Dungar.
About this place
History & highlights
The bridge gained its name and importance as the last major crossing before the restricted border sector, leading to BSF posts and the international boundary. After the creation of Kutch Desert Wildlife Sanctuary in 1986, the area beyond the bridge became even more controlled for both security and conservation reasons. Over the years, as Rann tourism and biking/road-trip culture grew, India Bridge turned into a symbolic destination for travellers who want to “ride to the last road of India” without entering the fully restricted zone.
