Note: National, provincial and district boundaries have changed considerably since 1908. Typically, old states, ‘divisions’ and districts have been broken into smaller units, and many tahsils upgraded to districts. Some units have since been renamed. Therefore, this article is being posted mainly for its historical value.

Barda Hills

Hills in Kathiawar, Bombay, about 18 miles distant from the coast, near Porbandar. They form a circular cluster about 30 miles in circumference, and are visible from a distance of from 25 to 30 miles. From the north they appear grouped in three distinct peaks. The most westerly, called Venu, is the highest, rising to about 1,730 feet above the sea. The well-watered and bamboo-covered slopes of the Barda Hills formed in the disturbed times a favourable refuge for outlaws.
