Rann Utsav

Rann Utsav gained popularity post massive publicity by the Gujarat government and Amitabh Bachchan. A cousin of mine recommended me to explore the marshland preferably on a full moon night. September 2018, finally we decided to visit the Rann of Kutch in December. Even though we booked the tents 3 months in advance to our surprise no tents were available at the tent city on the full moon day in December.

Moreover, given the facts that Rann Utsav didn't facilitate single occupancy booking; the White Desert around Dhordo was perhaps the most crowded and dirtiest as compared to other White Desert locations I'd visited; and the visit to White desert, from the tent city, is in buses instead of camel carts as otherwise advertised - it would not be wrong to say that the Rann Utsav, is a total rip off.
