Geography & terrain
Kala Dungar lies in the Kutch district of Gujarat at about 462 m, 60 km from Bhuj — the highest point of the Kutch, its viewpoints and the Dattatreya temple set on the black hill above the Great Rann's white.
History & culture
The hill's story runs with the Kutch's desert life — the black hill of the region's name, with the hill's Dattatreya temple and the samadhi of the saint of the region; the hill's role as the gateway of the Kalo Dungar's views over the Rann, with the Jaisalmer's desert connection of the region, gives Kala Dungar its desert-viewpoint character.
