The route from Ahmedabad to Rann of Kutch passes through Surendranagar and Bhuj. Our AC coaches or shared SUVs depart from a central pickup point in Ahmedabad, usually early morning to avoid afternoon heat.
Travel time is around 5 to 6 hours depending on road conditions. We make one stop en route for breakfast and restroom breaks.
| Route | Distance | Travel Time | Mode |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ahmedabad to Bhuj | 310 km | 4.5 to 5 hours | Road |
| Bhuj to Tent City (Dhordo) | 85 km | 1 to 1.5 hours | Road |
| Ahmedabad to Tent City (total) | ~395 km | 5.5 to 6.5 hours | Road |
The Rann Utsav Tent City is set up by the Gujarat Tourism department at Dhordo village. You can choose from Swiss tents, AC Swiss tents, or fully air-conditioned cottages depending on your budget.
All tents come with attached bathrooms, basic furniture, and electricity. The campus has a food court, craft bazaar, camel rides, and a central stage for evening cultural performances.
We recommend the AC cottage or AC Swiss tent for families and older travelers. For a young group or first-time visitors, a standard Swiss tent is perfectly comfortable and more affordable.

| December | Peak season, Christmas and New Year events, coldest nights |
| January | Republic Day events, cultural highlights, full moon spectacle |
