Rann of Kutch in Gujarat

Source: Google 

A beautiful spot to visit in Gujarat is the Rann of Kutch in Gujarat or Rann Utsav in Gujarat, also known as the Great Rann of Kutch. A large part is the largest salt desert in the world with a surface area of nearly 10,000 square kilometers. More incredible is that during India's biggest monsoon season, the salt desert is submerged. It's a huge stretch of packed white salt for the remainder of the eight months of the year. Here is everything you need to come.

LOCATION OF RANN OF KUTCH

The massive, arid region of Kutch's Great Rann lies at the top of the Kutch district to the north of the cancer tropic (you must travel through it to see the sign). The Northern Border forms the Indian-Pakistan border.

The fastest way to get to Great Rann of Kutch in Gujarat is from Bhuj. Dhordo is being built by the Gujarat government as the Gateway to Rann, approximately an hour and a half north of Bhuj. At the base of the desert, salt is Dhordo.

In October each year the Rann starts to dry and gradually transforms into a bleak and unreal wasteland of sand. The season of tourism continues until March. Close by lodging at the end of March and reopen not until November. If you want to avoid crowds, go towards the start of the tourist seasons in March, and have a calmer experience. But, during a day trip from Bhuj, you can still visit the salt desert in April and May. But during the day, it's really hot. In addition, tourists ' basic facilities (food, water, and toilets) are not accessible.  Only in the morning or evening is it best to go out into the desert; otherwise salt can blind. The camel safari in the desert can be taken with moonlight. The full moon is the happiest time of the month.
