Mandvi is a city and a municipality in the Mandvi taluka of Kutch District in the Indian State
of Gujarat. It was once a major port of the region and summer retreat for Maharao (king) of
the Kutch State. The old city was enclosed in the fort wall and remains of the fort wall can still
be seen. The city has a four hundred year old ship building industry which was started by the
caste Kharva that still builds small wooden ships.

The proposed site for tourism development is located in close proximity to Mandvi town in Ku-
tch District of Gujarat. Project site is approximately 12-13 kms, towards eastern side of Mandvi
