Rann Utsav - The Unique Tent City

The timeless White Desert of Rann meets the modern world through Rann Utsav, orchestrated by the Tourism Corporation of Gujarat Limited (TCGL). This event introduces the extraordinary 'White Rann Experience'.

Previously deemed barren, the White Rann beside the Great Rann of Kutch was reimagined by TCGL in 2005. What began as a three-day festival has grown into a 100-day celebration at Dhordo village, where a novel tent city arises annually with temporary yet impressive infrastructure.
