Inspired by the TV commercial of Gujarat Tourism, Swathi Reddy always wanted to relish the charm of the beautiful Rann Utsav ever since Amitabh Bachchan uttered the magical words – \u2018Kutch Nahi Dekha Toh Kuch Nahi Dekha\u2019<\/strong><\/em>. It was only after her birthday in the first week of December, that an exquisite trip to the Rann of Kutch finally came to pass for Swathi, and here\u2019s what she wrote about her extraordinary experience.<\/p>\n

The time only seemed right as the rates for a trip to the Rann of Kutch<\/strong>, which are usually on the higher end, were a bit cheaper during the off season. After a lot of planning and discussion, my friend and I started hunting for travel agencies online and offline.<\/p>\n

And we must admit, that post a lot of research, we\u2019re glad that the agents of TravelTriangle came up with the best offers. We put in our requests, and on receiving quotes from the top agents, we finally chose to go ahead with the agent called Diu Holidays who offered us a great package under our budget.<\/p>\n

Day 1: Hello Bhuj!<\/h2>\n

On the first day, we arrived at the Ahmedabad airport and boarded a train to Bhuj. Upon our arrival at the railway station, there was a huge tent setup with a waiting hall and restrooms for the guests of Rann Utsav along with which, refreshments were provided as well.<\/p>\n

\"Rann<\/div>\n

Post waiting for about an hour, we boarded the bus which takes the travelers to the tent city in Dhordo – located at a distance of close to 80 kilometers from the Bhuj station. On the way, we stopped at a local village where freshly made Mawa (Indian sweet made from thickened milk) was being sold and it is a must for everyone to try it when in Dhordo.<\/p>\n

\"Kutch,<\/div>\n

Finally we reached the famous Tent City and I must admit that it’s a different world altogether. Post checking-in at the reception, we were taken to our respective cluster that were scattered all over the city (group of 20 tents setup for accommodation) on golf carts decorated with traditional Gujarati handicraft materials.<\/p>\n

\"Trip<\/div>\n

Each cluster was represented by a cluster head who were very helpful, and catered to all the needs of guests by being available 24×7. Later, we went for a late lunch at the dining hall wherein we were given coupons for the entire duration of our stay. The food was exceptionally good and the quality of the Gujarati cuisine in their buffet system was hygienic, delicious, and impressive to an extent that they had a separate counter for Jain food as well.<\/p>\n

Post relishing a delicious meal, our next stop was of witnessing the grandeur of sunset at the salt lands of the Great Rann. In the evening we enjoyed some quick bites of snacks and tea post which we were transferred to the Rann of Kutch on a camel safari (Reach early as the number of carts are limited for camel safari) which was a fun ride too as the local kids were driving it.<\/p>\n

On reaching the Great Rann, we experienced that it was kind of difficult to walk over it as it is a thick layer of salt above a thick layer of quicksand. It\u2019s difficult initially but gets comfortable eventually. All you can see is the never ending land of salt and the blue skies over it. As the sun went down, there was a beautiful reddish orange hue all over the salt bed. The views were just magnificent.<\/p>\n

Around 7pm, we were back at the tent city and went for the dinner straightaway. There was an utsav scheduled from 8:30 pm to 10:30 pm where the locals of the village put up a great show for the guests. It was indeed a good way of promoting Kutch’s local talent. Apart from that, we concluded the day with an incredible stargazing activity which was a guided and a wonderful experience.<\/p>\n
