Great Rann of Kutch (White Rann)

The Great Rann of Kutch, accessed through Dhordo and Bhirandiyara checkposts, is a seasonal wetland that dries into a stark white salt desert between October and March. Visitors walk out onto the cracked salt flats for sunset views and, on clear nights, the surreal sight of moonlight reflecting off the white ground. Since the region borders Pakistan, an entry permit is mandatory and can be arranged online or at the checkpost with valid identification. It pairs naturally with a stay at the Rann Utsav tent city.
