First day we reached the spot at 7pm and the following day at 545 am. It was an unforgettable experience enjoying and absorbing the prestine beauty of this white desert.🏜🏝🍚 It was so serene, jaw dropping whiteness and a treat for the eyes. 😊🥰 We soaked ourselves in the beauty as the sun rose slowly in all its grandeur, flaunting its bright colors. As we were watching, the blaring red sun slowly transitioned to yellow sun, as it fully positioned itself in the horizon. ☀️🌞🌤🌅🌄🌥 We were busy clicking pictures and walked around until our legs were tiring. As I clicked the pics, I just wanted freeze those precious moments into tangible memories. Needless to mention that there is no lens as precise and clear as our own eyes. 👁Not even my Canon camera. 😀📸📷🎥📹 I thanked God for his magnificent handwork.🙏❤ The wait before the rise and the changing hues of the horizon, were simply magical and mesmerizing, an experience for a lifetime. The vast expanse is adorned with salt giving this place a snow covered appearance. We were the early birds to reach the spot first, to see the sunrise both through natural and artificial lenses, as it gradually unfolded, The terrain is totally flat, something like another FLAT Antartica, atleast by the appearance. 😀😉😜 First day as we reached at 7pm, we got to see the Rann utsov which usually concludes at 8:30pm. The audience were immersed in the traditional folk songs. 🎤🎶 We were lucky to enjoy the panoramic view of the landscape, both at night and in the early morning. Second day, we reached the spot at 5:45am and were the first to enter, once the the BSF officer approved our entry on checking the permit. Keep yourself warm with good winter clothing as it is freezing cold during winters, especially early morning and late nights.🧥❄️ Wear strong shoes if you would like to take a stroll of the vast expanse as some areas are damp and your footwear might get stuck in the mud.👟👞👢 Else you can just stick to the firm pathways or trails, that are not so difficult to spot.👣👣 Never forget to take your permit and camera.🎟🎫 we took the permit online the previous day. Enjoy!!

White Desert of Kutch, also known as the Great Rann of Kutch, is located in western Gujarat. It is famous for its white salty desert sand and is said to be the largest salt desert in the world. Due to tidal upsurge of the Arabian Sea during monsoon, Rann gets flooded by sea water. The water then gets evaporated leaving behind the white crystals of salt. The place is flooded by tourists and locals. Tourists need to fill a form issued by the BSF before entering the Rann. Camel and Horse carts are available near the entrance to reach the fields of Rann. Makeshift shops are available selling tea, samosas, Maggi noodles, popcorn, phaluda, icecreams, etc. The Sunset of this place is very famous. It looks great to have white salty desert sand around us. The desert is vast and massive. Rann of Kutch is the carnival of culture as tourists and visitors can be seen enjoying the local folk dance and music events every night with the bonfire in the white sands. The children also enjoy running helter-skelter in the vast fields. The Rann is under the control of Border Security Force as the international border is not too far from here. On the way to Rann Of Kutch from Kalo Dungar so many hotels, Bhungas and restaurants can be seen. The highway leading to Rann is of superb quality. It’s usually crowded and full, but the ambiance is worth it.Must visit place to have a glimpse of the beautiful sunrise and sunset. Love to visit it again if luck permits.

The White Desert of Kutch is an awe-inspiring natural wonder that left me mesmerized with its ethereal beauty. The vast expanse of pristine white salt under the clear blue sky creates a surreal landscape that is both breathtaking and unforgettable. Walking through the desert during the day, I was surrounded by the shimmering white salt crystals, creating a unique and almost otherworldly experience. The immense flatness of the terrain provides an uninterrupted view, allowing you to appreciate the sheer magnitude of this natural marvel. As the sun begins to set, the White Desert transforms into a canvas of warm hues, with the changing colors casting a magical glow across the salt. The play of light and shadows in the evening adds an extra layer of enchantment to this already stunning landscape. Visiting the White Desert is not just a visual delight; it's a spiritual journey into nature's grandeur. The untouched beauty of this vast salt desert is a testament to the incredible diversity of our planet. Truly, a must-visit destination for anyone seeking a unique and captivating experience in the heart of nature's artistry.

The Great place if you are on tour KUTCH It is at Dhordo and as it's name means whities. Actually during monsoon, many of rain water touches to Sea and returned back to this area and after monsoon, the water evaporated and converted into salt. The layer of salt upon land create WHITE DEASERT. We can visit this place after Diwali to February. I drive a car from Vadodara, Gujarat at 6:00 am and reached at 6:00 pm, during sunset. And get a chance to catch up Sunset. We stayed at night in Tent 🎪 House to add on mesmerizing memories in our trip. We also enjoyed RAN MAHOTSAV, organising by Government of Gujarat here. In this Mahotsav, we enjoyed Cultural Programs, shopping handicraft materials, etc. There is also Helicopter ride from 5000/- Rs., Camel ride of 100/50 Rs. And Air copter of 3000 Rs. The BSF cops are very cooperative and carrying for public. The local public are so sweet and really helpful. After visit, i really experienced and believe this slogan, "KUTCH NAHI DEKHA TO KUTCH". 🙏🏻🇮🇳🙏🏻Jay Hind 🇮🇳🙏🏻🇮🇳

If you haven't been here yet then you haven't yet witnessed the marvel of white. I doubt you will get to see such 7500 square kilometers of such a fairy land. From a distance, this resembles vast snow laden plateau, but when you walk upon the surface, the shallow salt surface gives way to the black marshy land beneath. This preparation of salt layer is the result of a natural and annual phenomenon which lasts for a brief period of 2 to 3 months during December to February, hence this "Rann Utsav" is organized by the Gujarat government for people to witness this grandeur of whitening landscape. The area comes under the jurisdiction of BSF, so one has to aquire necessary permits to visit this place, if not part of your resort itinerary. Sunsets is marvelous and sunrise could be magical if you are lucky enough to steal the show from the clouds which usually become spoilsport. Nevertheless, it's a must for once and advisable for multiple visits.
