Overview
  • If you are planning a winter getaway, nothing compares to the Rann of Kutch Package that combines the vibrant charm of the Rann Utsav with the ancient wonders of Dholavira. Every year between November and February, the White Rann in Dhordo comes alive with folk music, cultural performances, colorful handicrafts, camel rides, and the unforgettable sight of the salt desert glowing under the full moon. Cool nights and sunny days make this the best time to experience the magic of Kutch.

Many packages are perfect for 2–3 days, starting from around ₹4,000, with luxury tent options also available for those seeking comfort.
