The White Rann of Kutch is a salt desert that glows at sunset and under the full moon. Groups from Ahmedabad drive to Bhuj, where there are hotels for every budget, and go on to the White Rann at Dhordo, with Kala Dungar and the craft villages nearby.

November to February is the best time: in the monsoon the Rann floods and the salt flats are under water, and April to June is extremely hot. The White Rann needs an entry permit, so carry photo ID for every traveller. The tent city at Dhordo opens during the Rann Utsav only; check the official Rann Utsav dates before booking.
