The Road to Infinity is a newer road across the Rann on the Khadir Bet side, near Dholavira in Kutch. Like the Road to Heaven, it runs through open salt and water with nothing on either side. Go between November and February, and check the road status first, as parts have been under construction.
The new road across Khadir Bet
The road leaves the Dholavira side of Khadir Bet and crosses the Rann, passing close to the Raneshwar Hanuman temple and the flamingo breeding grounds known as Flamingo City. It makes a one-way loop possible: in on the Road to Heaven, out on the Road to Infinity.

Road to Heaven or Road to Infinity: which is better?

Sometimes, in season, though the main breeding grounds are far from the road.
