Meriya Nature Resort - An Authentic Village Stay of Ekal Ka Rann at Chobbari

Beaches

We woke up in the morning at Meriya Nature Resort in Kutch’s Chobari village when a flock of demoiselle cranes flew into the open space right in front of us. It was an amazing feeling like we have our own little bird sanctuary in this resort. These migratory cranes travel long distances from Eurasia and Mongolia to spend the winter in India. The birds make their temporary home in Khichan, a village in the Jodhpur district of Rajasthan, which is around 600 km from Chobari. For a few minutes every morning, right after sunrise, the birds spend a few minutes here at Meriya Nature Resort before flying away.
