Little Rann of Kutch (LRK) Photography Expedition |
Little Rann of Kutch or little desert
of Kutch is a salt marsh located near
the Great Rann of Kutch in Kutch district,
Gujarat, India.
Some places in the world are known
for lush greenery, others for steep
cliffs and snowy glaciers and others
still for refreshing water lapping
against hot beaches. But of all the
landscapes in the world, harsh deserts
are perhaps the one that fewest people
have experienced. Believing it to
be not as pleasant as other landscapes,
many people miss out on the tremendous
beauty found in deserts. Precisely
because there are very few people,
visiting deserts like the Little Rann
of Kutch which gives a traveler the
chance to ponder a world before there
were so many of us around.
After hours blanketed by the deep
silences that fall on the salt flats
in the middle of the day, when the
only sound is the wind scraping along
the sand, can you appreciate the sounds
that emerge in the evening, the birds
singing, insects chirping and the
scuffle of small animals rustling
in the brush. Looking out at the unending
flats do you appreciate the greenery
and rich wildlife that congregates
on the beyts or islands that rise
up out of the Rann. And getting to
know the desert do you begin to understand
a secret, that the beauty of life
lies hidden in even the most seemingly
desolate of places.
The Wild Ass Sanctuary of the Little
Rann of Kutch, spreading across nearly
5000 square kilometers of the Little
Rann, is the only place on earth where
the endangered Indian Wild Ass (Equus
hemionus khur), known locally as the
ghudkhar, still lives. The sanctuary
was set up in 1973 to protect the
endangered wild ass. These creatures
look like a cross between a donkey
and a horse. They're slightly bigger
than a donkey, and are fast and strong
like a horse.The only other two subspecies
of wild asses live in the high arid
plateaus of Tibet, making this the
most accessible place to visit wild
asses in their natural environs. Standing
more than a meter tall at the shoulder
and two meters in length, wild asses
are very agile and can run long distances
at a speed of 50 km/h, making them
more like wild horses, and far more
captivating than their domesticated
cousins. Around 3000 of them live
in the sanctuary, and are usually
seen in herds, especially around breeding
season (foals can be seen with the
herds around October and November.)
Though a bleak landscape it is rich
in biodiversity and is an ecologically
important area for wildlife and many
local and migratory waterbirds like
cranes, ducks, pelicans, flamingos
and land birds like sandgrouse, francolins
and the Indian bustards.It is also
home to various unique mammals apart
from wild ass such as the Indian wolf,
desert fox, jackals, chinkara, blackbucks,
striped hyenas, and nilgai etc.. |
