A tour to Gujarat will demand a special visit to an excellent city called Lakhpat. It is held to be the last frontier fortress of western India. Located at the western edge of India exactly on the border of India and Pakistan at the meeting point of Kori Creek and Rann of Kachchh, Lakhpat draws huge public attention. There are several speculations made on the name of this town. It is held that this town has been so called because here maritime trade was done and as a result of which an income of 1 lac or 1, 00,000 Kori (the name of the old currency of Kutch state) were daily generated. Other legend holds that this city was established by Rao Lakha hence it is named so after him only. However in 1851 AD, Lakhpat lost its significance as a maritime trade center and today this strong fortified town marked with high walls, countless gates and strongholds built of hard stone is almost deserted with handful of families dwelling here.
