Rann Utsav, in one paragraph
A tent city on a salt desert, for four months a year
Rann Utsav is a seasonal festival held on the salt flats near Dhordo village in Kutch, Gujarat. It runs from roughly November to February each year, turning the White Rann into a tented township with folk performances, craft markets, desert activities and moonlit views of the salt.
Gujarat Tourism organises the festival and sets the season dates. Around the official Tent City, private operators run their own luxury camps on the same stretch of desert — which is where The White Salt Tent by Adhvanta sits, at Dhordo Cross Road on Khavda Road.
The White Rann itself is the reason people come. It is a dry salt marsh that turns bright white in winter, and on full moon nights the salt reflects the moonlight until the horizon disappears. Those dates sell out first, which is why the tariff below prices them separately.

What is the difference between premium, regular and economy dates?
Premium dates are full moon nights and the peak holiday block around late December and mid-January. Economy dates are the shoulder days at the start of November and through most of February. Everything else is a regular date. The date tier guide on this page shows the full calendar.
What is included in the package?
Accommodation in your chosen tent, all meals and sightseeing listed in the itinerary, entrance tickets for those sightseeing points, and AC transfers between Bhuj Railway Station and the camp on scheduled timings. Lunch on the day of departure is not included.

Dhordo is about 85 km from Bhuj and about 400 km from Ahmedabad, and is reached by road. Bhuj is the nearest railway station and airport. Our transfer leaves Bhuj Railway Station at 10:00 am and returns from the camp at 9:30 am on departure day.
What is the best time to visit?
December and January are the most comfortable months, with cool days and cold nights. Full moon nights are the most dramatic and the first to sell out, so book four to six weeks ahead if you are planning around one.
Do the tents have air conditioning and attached bathrooms?
Yes. Both Deluxe and Premium categories are air-conditioned and come with an attached bathroom, wooden flooring, premium linen and a private sit-out. Premium tents add a separate living area and upgraded interiors.

Children below 6 years stay complimentary with no separate bed or seat allocated. Entry tickets, where applicable, are charged at the time of sightseeing. Older children are charged at the extra pax rate for the tent category and date tier.
What is the cancellation policy?
Cancellation within 7 days of check-in is charged at 100% of the booking amount, within 10 days at 50%, within 15 days at 25%, and more than 15 days before check-in at 15%.
Can I visit Rann Utsav without staying overnight?
Yes. Day visitors can pay the entry fee at the checkpoint and see the White Rann. Staying overnight is what gets you the evening cultural programme, sunrise on the salt and the full moon after dark, which is the reason most people come.
