2-day Rann of Kutch weekend getaway itinerary
Two to three days, close to home, zero wasted hours. Built for Rann of Kutch, at a balanced pace.
The White Rann is seasonal in a way few destinations are: the salt flats are underwater through the monsoon and only dry out from around November. The Rann Utsav tent city runs across that window, and Bhuj is the base for the surrounding craft villages.
