Bhuj's buses move Rann Utsav visitors between the city and Dhordo, carry school groups on Kutch heritage trips, and shuttle wedding guests across the district's long distances. Larger groups touring Kutch for several days book a coach with a luggage hold and keep one base, usually Bhuj, so the driving days stay short.
