Visiting the Great Rann of Kutch is an adventure in itself, where one can enjoy stunning views with great connectivity. The most common route is to travel to Bhuj, which, as the closest major town, can be reached by air, rail, or road. Bhuj is well connected by flights, trains, and buses from many parts of India, especially from Ahmedabad and Mumbai. Bhuj is about an 85 km taxi or bus trip to Dhordo, where the well-known Rann Utsav and tented resorts are located. Many travellers also choose to stop for a couple of hours in Bhuj to explore the bustling markets and historical sites before continuing on to the salt desert.
For travellers beginning their journey in Ahmedabad, it is possible to take a direct train to Bhuj or drive. The drive will be about 7-8 hours with a few stops in small towns such as Mehsana, Patan, and Bhachau. For travellers who prefer to fly to Bhuj have the option to hire a taxi at the airport is available without extra wait time. There are options to book specialized packages from Gujarat Tourism that provide waiting transfers directly from Bhuj to Dhordo, many often being part of a festival stay, should the traveller visit during the Rann Utsav.
