It is the newest scenic road in India, which is about 30 kilometers long and connects Khavda to Dholavira in Gujarat.
Motorbike tourists who shared images of the road, say it was a “heavenly experience” to be riding there. And so the name ‘Road to Heaven’ stuck, as can be seen on Google Maps.
In the run-up to the G-20 Summit, the Government of India cleared the 31.9 km-long Khavda-Khadir road, through the Rann of Kutch. The road was originally sanctioned in 2019 and finally opened for tourists only in 2023.
Earlier, the distance from Bhuj, the capital of Kutch, to Dholavira, was around 240 km. Now, it takes just 130 km to reach Bhuj.
