Kutch

 Rann of Kutch – A White Wonderland of Culture and Charm

Located in the far west of Gujarat, the Rann of Kutch is one of the most surreal landscapes in India. This vast expanse of white salt desert stretches endlessly toward the horizon, creating a unique and almost otherworldly beauty, especially under the moonlight. But the true magic of Kutch comes alive during the Rann Utsav, a cultural festival held every year from November to February.

During this time, the desert is transformed into a vibrant celebration of Gujarat’s rich heritage. Visitors can stay in luxury tent accommodations, enjoy traditional Gujarati cuisine, watch folk music and dance performances, and shop for exquisite handicrafts made by local artisans. The sight of the full moon casting a silver glow over the salt plains is truly unforgettable.

Must-do activities:

 

  • Attend the Rann Utsav

  • Ride a camel across the salt desert

  • Visit the nearby village of Dhordo for local crafts

  • Watch the sunset and stargaze in the clear night skies
