Rann Utsav transforms the Kutch District's White Rann into a vibrant tented city each winter, showcasing Gujarat's diverse cultures and outdoor adventures from November to February. Here are five ways to create unforgettable family memories in this magical salt desert.
1. Culture you can't find anywhere else
When you visit Rann Utsav, you will be immersed in the wonderful culture of Gujarat. You can dance to the beat of people bouncing off one another during the Garba dance, or the beat of drums during the Dandiya dance. You will see artisans making their crafts, as well as have the opportunity to participate in workshops for making things such as pottery and embroidery. You can take a sunset camel safari with your parents. This is an excellent opportunity for family bonding while gaining appreciation for the customs and traditions of the local tribes.
2. Family-friendly adventure experiences
There is a wealth of adventures that you and your family members can experience while at the Rann Utsav. Hot air ballooning high above the white desert will create lasting memories for children, adolescents, and adults. For families with younger children, there are play zones with puppet shows, games, and a zip-lining experience. Regardless of age, all family members can experience the thrill of partnering with each other when riding the hot air balloon, climbing the dunes for zip-lining and other rides, and having fun together.
3. Stargaze and Enjoy the Beauty of Nature
The clear, unpolluted skies allow for a great view of the Milky Way, making them the perfect setting for family picnics with telescopes. Enjoy the full moon night when the Rann of Kutch shines like a diamond sea. With its quiet, peaceful atmosphere, it allows for wonderful conversations between parents and children, and inspires a love for nature that cities can never match.
4. A Taste of Gujarat
Enjoy a thali meal filled with dhokla, thepla, and undhiyu while dining in the comfort of a communal tent. Some locations also provide kid-friendly options, such as veggie skewers and sweets. Through the demonstration of making rotis, families will experience the joy of coming together through food that connects families across generations.
5. Luxurious Family Accommodation in the Desert
Stay at Praveg White Rann Resort, an eco-friendly luxury resort offering spacious Swiss cottages with modern amenities. Families can enjoy children’s pools, cultural performances, nature walks, and organic Gujarati cuisine, ensuring a memorable and comfortable stay.
