DESCRIPTION:

 

Imagine a silvery sparkle of endless white sand under the bluish glow of the super moon as cool winds refresh your mind, body and soul. A spectacular sunset with the organge and crimson hues reflecting off the whole shimmering landscape. Stay at traditional mud houses in a pretty Kutchi village and enjoy local food. The westernmost tip of India and her last civilian point. All over an unforgettable weekend.

MORE ABOUT OUR TRIP:

The Rann Of Kutch is one of the largest salt flats in the world - sparkling crystals of salt that lend an other worldly ambience. The peppy number 'Saree Ke Fall Sa' has been entirely shot at Rann Of Kutch and showcases the landscape at it's picturesque best!

 

Sunsets, moonrises, and the desert bathed in bluish hues of full moon nights here are moments that will forever stay with you. This trip coincides with the Super Full Moon that happens on the night of Dec 22nd. We will be spending quality time at the Rann right from the sunset till late into the night.

Local cuisine at Kutch is of a different league altogether. While we gorge on Kutchi cuisine all through the trip, at Bhuj we will also savour an unlimited Kutchi thali at a quaint Bhojanalay. Be ready to be pleasantly surprised at their commitment to not waste food while you gobble down tonnes of yummy awesomeness.
