Why the Rann

Four months a year, a salt flat becomes a city.

Between November and March the Great Rann of Kutch dries into a horizon of white salt, and Dhordo turns into a tented township of suites, craft bazaars and folk stages. Sunset here is a colour you will argue about later.

We handle the whole stay: tent category, sightseeing transfers on fixed departures, meals from morning tea to dinner, and every peak-date surcharge shown before you pay.

Guest stories

Booked with us, back next season.

We booked the Deluxe AC cottage for the November full moon with two kids. The transfer from Bhuj was on time, the tent was warm at 4 am, and nobody wanted to leave the sunrise point.

Meera & Anand P. — Pune

Prices on the site matched the invoice to the rupee, including the peak-date surcharge. Rare enough that I am writing a review about it.

Rajesh K. — Bengaluru

Went for the dark moon night with a tripod and no expectations. Got the Milky Way over a white floor. The coordinator at Dhordo sorted a late dinner for us.
