Kalo Dungar

Kala Dungar, also known as the Black Hill, is the highest point in the Kutch region of Gujarat, located near the Indo-Pak border. Situated at an elevation of about 462 meters, it offers a stunning panoramic view of the vast white expanse of the Rann of Kutch. This scenic spot is especially popular during sunset when the sky meets the salt desert in magical hues. Kala Dungar is also home to the 400-year-old Dattatreya Temple, dedicated to Lord Dattatreya, a revered deity in Hinduism. One of the unique attractions here is the daily feeding of jackals by temple priests, a ritual that has continued for centuries. The hill is easily accessible from Dhordo, the hub of the Rann Utsav. With its spiritual atmosphere, natural beauty, and breathtaking views, Kala Dungar is a must-visit destination for anyone exploring the cultural and geographical richness of Kutch.
