Rann Utsav 2026-27 · Dhordo, Kutch

The resort
What The White Salt Resort Dhordo is
The White Salt Resort is one of the most popular accommodation options during Rann Utsav. Set up near Dhordo village every winter season, the resort becomes part of the larger Rann Utsav Tent City that draws visitors from across India and abroad.
Guests choose from comfortable Swiss cottages, deluxe tents and premium stay options designed for both comfort and a traditional desert experience. The property includes dining areas, cultural zones, handicraft stalls, evening entertainment and direct access to the white salt flats.
Where it is
The White Salt Resort is in Dhordo village in the Kutch district of Gujarat. Dhordo is the main base for Rann Utsav and sits right on the edge of the Great Rann. The nearest airport is Bhuj, which has regular flights from Ahmedabad and Mumbai; from Bhuj you can hire a taxi or arrange a resort transfer for a scenic drive through Kutch.
Season and the best time to visit
Rann Utsav is usually held between November and February. Winter is the best time to visit — pleasant days and cool nights. The most magical experience happens during full moon nights, when the white salt desert reflects moonlight and creates a landscape that feels almost unreal. Because the festival operates for a limited season and accommodation is fixed, full moon weekends often sell out quickly.

While you are there
Things to do at The White Salt Resort
There is more to Rann Utsav than staying in a tent.
Visit the white salt desert
The salt flats are the biggest attraction. Watching the endless white landscape glow under moonlight is unforgettable, and sunrise and sunset visits are equally beautiful.
Folk music and dance
Every evening local artists perform traditional Garba, Bhavai, Kutchi folk music, puppet shows and cultural dances.
Shop for handicrafts
The cultural market features handmade work from artisans across Gujarat and Rajasthan — Kutchi embroidery, Bandhani fabrics, Rogan art, handmade jewellery and traditional home décor. Buying directly supports regional crafts.
Camel cart and jeep safaris
Camel cart rides suit experiencing the desert slowly; jeep safaris cover more of the Rann and the nearby viewpoints.
