Rann Utsav Kutch Tour Package
Tour Highlights
The Rann of Kutch, located in Gujarat, is one of the world’s largest salt deserts, stretching across a vast, surreal expanse of white salt that glistens under the sun and moonlight. This seasonal salt marsh, which floods during the monsoon and dries up in winter, transforms into a magical landscape, especially under the full moon.
The Rann Utsav, an annual festival held from November to February, celebrates the vibrant culture of Kutch. During the festival, the Rann comes alive with folk music and dance performances, traditional crafts, and local cuisine. Visitors can stay in luxury tents, participate in camel rides, watch cultural shows, and enjoy adventure activities like hot air ballooning. The full moon nights offer a breathtaking experience of the white desert glowing under the moonlight, making it a highlight of Gujarat tourism.
The Rann Utsav is a celebration of Gujarat’s rich heritage, offering an immersive experience in the desert’s beauty and the region’s vibrant traditions.
