Little Rann of Kutch National Park, India
The Little Rann of Kutch is a featureless expanse of flat land. Comprised mostly of low-lying salt marsh known as the sea bed, this saline wilderness is dotted with islands known as beyts where coarse grasses, acacia and scrub spring up in the monsoon season.
Under threat from salt extraction works, a Wild Ass Sanctuary was created here in the in 1973 to protect the world's last home of the Asiatic wild ass. Chestnut coloured and with a dark strip down their backs, lone stallions and small groups of mares can often be seen in the early morning or late afternoons.

If you're staying on the beach in Kerala why not get up early and take a walk. You should get to see local fishermen pulling in their morning catch.
