About Rann Utsav

Rann Utsav is a vibrant celebration of Gujarat’s music, dance, and culture. The magical landscape of the White Rann comes alive under the full moon, creating a surreal view of shimmering white sand. This festival begins every year in November and continues through to Holi, attracting visitors from around the globe. A full moon night at the Rann offers a dreamlike experience as moonlight bathes the desert in an ethereal glow, creating a heavenly ambiance with cool breezes and unforgettable scenery.

Organized with the support of Gujarat Tourism, Rann Utsav offers a variety of cultural activities including traditional dances, folk performances, camel rides, live tent stays, and much more.

The event takes place in Dhordo village, located around 85 km from Bhuj. This region is also renowned for its vibrant market that features authentic handicrafts, Bandhani sarees, ethnic jewelry, and more — all part of the unique shopping experience at Rann Utsav. Over 350 luxurious tents are set up in the area each year with excellent coordination by the Government of Gujarat and its partners.

In addition to the festival, visitors can explore nearby attractions such as historical monuments, wildlife sanctuaries (home to the famous Indian Wild Ass), museums, palaces, forts, and the breathtaking Great White Rann.

Vision & Inspiration:

Rann Utsav was first envisioned in 2006 by the Hon’ble Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi. His vision was to place Kutch on the global tourism map through this cultural festival that now welcomes thousands of visitors annually from November onward.

During the festival, the Tourism Corporation of Gujarat Ltd. handles arrangements for transportation, accommodation, meals, and guided sightseeing tours.

Alongside Rann Utsav, tourists can also explore curated travel options including Kutch Tour Package, Dholavira Tour, Kera & Tundavad Tours, Narayan Sarovar Tour, Indo-Pak Border (Ludiya) Tour, Chhari Dhandh Eco-Tour, and Dhinodhar Trekking packages throughout December in Kutch, Gujarat.
