How to reach Rann of Kutch

Dhordo, which lies about 86 kilometres from Bhuj, is the venue for the Rann of Kutch Festival.

The main venue set up by the government ‘The Tent City’ is in this village.

If you have booked a package with the Gujarat Tourism Department, then all you have to do is get to Bhuj. The Department organises transport from the Bhuj Airport, Bhuj Bus and train Station, to and fro to the venue.

If you are on your own, then you can either take a bus to Dhordo or hire a taxi which will take you to the village.

The package by the Gujarat Tourism department includes stay for the duration in one of the tents. The Tent City includes all amenities like a dining area, spas, spiritual centres, kid’s zone, visitor’s area and concierge.  The tents are spacious and luxurious and offer a peek into natural living. They are equipped with amenities such as clean bathrooms, air conditioners and heaters and comfortable beds.

If you have not booked the package, then there are a few resorts and homestays in the nearby areas which provide clean accommodation.

The handicrafts of Kutch are famous all over the world. The embroidered garments, the batik and the block prints, carved wood trinkets, silver ornaments, shawls and accessories are all a must buy from the bazaars set up during the festival.

There are traditional activities to indulge in such as a camel ride or a trek up a sand dune. But modern activities too have been introduced. ATV rides across the sands, parasailing, archery, spa and massages, yoga and meditation and the list of activities to be indulged in goes on and on. There is also a designated kid’s zone setup with special activities.

But a must do activity during the Rann Utsav is a campfire on a full moon night. It is nights like these that the sand comes alive with the artist performing folk arts and casting mesmerising spells on the visitors.

Tasting the cuisine of the region is a must indulge activity and the one that you will not regret.

Shuvadeep's 7 days trip to Kutch

Overall it was a very good trip, we were able to cover most of the places mentioned on the itinerary. Well planned and executed. Somnath and Gir was a very good experience. Dwarka was not that much good due to rush and crowd mismanagement. Transportation : Was very good, driver was very much helpful and understanding. Hotels : Dwarka, Somnath were exceptionally well with good restaurants. i would rate 4/5 for those places. Resort in Gir was not so good compared to other two places, ambience was great but room , pool were not so good. i would rate 2/5 due to cleanliness issues and restaurant not taking any orders was just having common buffet. Staff were helpful in all places, would rate 4/5.

Abhishekdudwadkar's 5 days trip to Kutch

Had a good experience for sightseeing areas of Gujarat and found it extra convenient and comfortable in Kia Carens. Driver was also good.. And special thanks to Payal madam for helping out in making itineraries. Hotels and their service were good except Shlok In where food service was not satisfactory otherwise it was nice. Just few suggestions it would be good if we can get an ordered list of places as per route with their timings. Because many places had their timings. Also, one will get an idea where to reach on which time and how much time to spend on particular spot.
