Explore the Magical White Desert of Kutch
The vast white salt desert of Kutch is unlike any other landscape in India — an endless sheet of cracked white stretching to the horizon.

Over three days you'll stay in a traditional Kutchi bhunga, watch the sun melt into the White Rann, walk the 5,000-year-old ruins of Dholavira, and take in Gujarat's rich heritage one village at a time.
