One and half hour drive from Bhuj takes you to Dhordo (the last inhabited village before we can access the Rann of Kutch). Tent city never fails to impress you with its sensational creation and warm welcome. There were rows of white tents and bhungas inside the Rann Utsav area. Our noon went in exploring the tent city and enjoying the hospitality over there. Setting Sun in the White Rann: Ahh, Sunsets are The Best!! They have all the colours of the spectrum… So warm and soothing…. You can see the barren land everywhere when you are transported from tent city to view sunset. Commutation is by bus or car upto certain point where the camel carts are waiting for you to witness the beauty in barren. In no time the camel cart took us in the midst of desert and there you are in the largest salt marsh. The more we walked inside more white the land became. Sun and sand stretched before me as far as my eyes could see. And then it’s the time when sun meets the horizon, it is not a typical desert sunset experience. Everything is so different and that’s the mystical magic of Kutch. Locals say that the Rann changes mood with the changing hour of the day because the white desert reflects the mood of the sky. And this can be felt, in no time evening turns cold and dark. Black sky with almost full moon, more stars and constellations was spread above me. The Rann was shining like diamonds in the starlight. The sky seemed to merge with the unending dark horizon. I have never seen so many stars in my entire life. Was it a desert thing?? There was absolute silence, the quietness in the desert that you can absorb here. By the time you reach back, tent city is all decked up like a bride groom, ready to welcome all love in the life. At night the aura of the entire place is mesmerising. There are various in-house cultural activities, acoustic music, tribal performances, and star gazing to give your day a perfect end. Don’t leave the place if u haven’t……. Don’t watch the sunset if you don’t plan on watching the Sunrise too… In Kutch you enjoy the best of both the worlds. Sunrise at the Rann of Kutch leaves you with the feeling of convergence and separation. White sand here witnesses the convergence of sun and moon, where in the moon calmly bids adieu while the sun is drumming energy to rise from the white desert. The beauty of rising sun takes your breath away. You cannot believe that it is the same sun that was dominant yesterday evening is striving hard to make its presence feel over the expanse of white. At night the sky which enhanced the beauty of sand is now the reflection of desert. All the experiences cannot be described so it’s better to let camera lens take this beautiful morning home. But I would say lenses failed this time!! Mandvi Beach…. Mandvi is one of the place covered in the package of Rann Utsav. It is around 3 hours drive from Dhordo city. I don’t know what is it about the endless blue waters that attract me so much? My love for ocean always gives me something new. The sea at Mandvi beach seems to be very calm and quiet, it’s a mix of infinity and decipher. The sand at the sea shore is very hard and there are no high tides, so it is only good for swimming not like the other renowned beaches. The wind mills at the shore of the beach makes it look beautiful and different from other sea shores. It is more of private beach hence clean and not crowded. Other places: The package tour of Kutch has other places such as Kala Dungar, Swani Naranyan Temple, Vijay Vilas Palace, Shyamji Krishna Verma memorial. Visit to these places depends entirely on your liking, whether you want to explore or sit back in tents and enjoy in-house. Handicrafts and embroidery of Kutch has noble contribution to the Indian handwork traditions and can be procured in Dhordo or handicraft village at the time of visit to Kala Dungar. Handicrafts from Kutch have great overseas market. Best Time : Best time to visit Kutch is November to February during Runn Utsav. It is Rann festival held by Gujarat Tourism. Package takes care of end to end travel, food, BSF permits and all local sight seeing which makes your entire experience hassle free. Can be visited with friends and family, it is more fun if you go in large group. Every Journey is a treasure trove of memories. And behind each memory is a story. Hope you enjoyed this one!!
