This village is 165 km (103 mi) from Radhanpur. Also known locally as Kotada timba, the site contains ruins of an ancient Indus Valley Civilization/Harappan city. Dholavira's location is on the Tropic of Cancer. It is one of the five largest Harappan sites and most prominent archaeological sites in India belonging to the Indus Valley Civilization.It is also considered as having been the grandest of citiesof its time. It is located on Khadir bet island in the Kutch Desert Wildlife Sanctuary in the Great Rann of Kutch. The 47 ha (120 acres) quadrangular city lay between two seasonal streams, the Mansar in the north and Manhar in the south. The site was thought to be occupied from c.2650 BCE, declining slowly after about 2100 BCE, and to have been briefly abandoned then reoccupied until c.1450 BCE;however, recent research suggests the beginning of occupation around 3500 BCE (pre-Harappan) and continuity until around 1800 BCE . The site was discovered in 1967-68 by J. P. Joshi, of the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), and is the fifth largest of eight major Harappan sites. It has been under excavation since 1990 by the ASI, which opined that "Dholavira has indeed added new dimensions to personality of Indus Valley Civilisation."

Very Good Kwonlegble Guide mr.Nagji Parmar..Nagji Dholavira Local Man so Very Interested In Harappa..

Superb! Infact Mr. Nagjibhai was instrumental in designing my journey to kutch. We are glad we met him in person and through him tried to understand the civilisation and culture of this great place. I strongly recommend to hire hire service.

Mr. Nagji Parmar guided me through the Harappan site for two hours. Excellent guide. Knowledgeable. No hype and only factual information. He is a resident of Dholavira village and his family was actually owning and farming the land under which the Harappan city was lying. After it was acquired by ASI he worked in the excavation work. So he could acquire firsthand information about the site. Best guide.
