I can only echo the rave reviews of this community-managed resort in Kutch. Stayed here for 2 nights and were blissfully comfortable in our bhunga. Loved the evening entertainment. Best of all was the service - smiling, kindly, considerate, could not in any way be improved on. As an example, both mornings when wake-up tray of morning coffee arrived at... More

My very first trip to Kutch and it became special with the stay at Shaam-e-Sarhad. Everything is just so beautiful about the resort. You will be served with sumptuous traditional Lunch/Dinner buffet. I was really sceptical about how the food will taste here and once I had tasted..there was no stopping to relish it  The tents are nice, cosy... More

Gujarat is one of my favourite places in India. The handicrafts are amazing. I have taken groups of ladies to visit on several occasions having 'hands on days' at Karla Raksha and St. Mary's in Ahmadabad. Shaam-e-Sarhad Village Resort is magical and from the resort you can visit many small villages to see and purchase some of the wonderful items... More

We spent one night at the Shaam-e-Sharhad as part of a tour of the amazing villages of Kutch. From the moment we arrived, the experience was excellent. The kindness of the staff, the attention to detail in the buildings and the peacefulness of the surroundings all help you to relax but also to feel Kutch at its best. The mud... More

These are mud huts & tented accommodation in the middle of the vast deserted Rann of Gujarat. It is exactly 50kms from Bhuj. I recommend staying here only if you get to stay at their mud huts......i will give reasons why. 1) The tented accommodation is less secure with animals visiting in the night. One night when we came back... More

This is the place to visit when you are in kutch. There are few other resorts near by but this one is best as it provides the real flavour compared to others. There are bangas and tents. I preferred staying in tents as it gave the actual flavour. Banga or banga like rooms cab be found in other resorts as... More

¬The resort is absolutely beautiful and Kutchi in every way- meals, interior of tents/bhungas, the ambience and people. It is a real treat and experience to stay at Shaam-e-Sarhad. The staff is hospitable, warm and really helpful. Once can also buy Kutchi shawls, souvenirs and crafts from inside the resort and these are all well-priced and of the same cost... More

I am truly impressed with Shaam-e-Sarhad. The picturesque resort offers 3 mud huts called Bhungas & about 10 tents. It has been beautifully designed & constructed by the villagers, who also own & manage the place. The decor has traditional Banni crafts on display. Printed fabrics, Kutchi dolls, lamps, & pink bougainvilleas add colour to mud plastered walls. The food... More
