Travel from Jaipur to the Rann of Kutch is like passing through two utterly different worlds. You begin in the Pink City, where the atmosphere carries a whiff of spices, sandstone walls reflect afternoon sunshine and haggling echoes through the bazaars. Mile after mile, however, the landscape changes. Rajasthan’s vibrant colours fade to subdued desert tones before you finally reach the eye searing white stretches of Kutch’s salt flats. An experience that seems almost alien.
Rann Utsav: Cultural Canvas
Once you are here, magic breaks out. Rann Utsav The Tent City is the thumping heartbeat of festival time. Picture an infinite white expanse under a clear sky during winter, only to have it come alive with whirling dance shows, thumping folk drums and shops loaded with embroidery. Energy pervades the air, yet tranquillity is in being surrounded by the sheer grand simplicity of nature.
