The Gulf of Khambhat, also known as the Gulf of Cambay, is a bay on the
Arabian Sea coast of
India, bordering the state of
Gujarat just north of
Mumbai and
Diu Island.[1] The Gulf of Khambhat is about 200 km (120 mi) long, about 20 km (12 mi) wide in the north and up to 70 km (43 mi) wide in the south. Major rivers draining Gujarat are the
Narmada,
Tapti,
Mahi and the
Sabarmati, that form
estuaries in the gulf.[2]
