Chhari Dhand is that unique patch of wetland sculpted into the Rann of Kutch where water, grass and salt intersect, and birds and wildlife go crazy. This place is near Fulay village and comes to life during the post-monsoon. Here you shall witness hundreds of migrating birds, endangered birds, and even chinkaras or foxes predicarily coming near water.
In this blog, we guide you through all: time, ticket cost, safari price, how to book a safari, peak season, and some value-added tips. By the end of this blog, you shall know your heart and shall confidently plan your tour to Chhari Dhand.
Sanctuary Timings
Chhari Dhand opens at 6:00 AM and normally closes by 5:00 PM. Some sources say it may stay open till 6:30 PM in some months. Because birds are most active early, arriving right at opening gives you the best chance to see them.
Entry Fees & Safari Fees That Will Blow Your Mind
Entry is very modest: many reports indicate that it costs ₹20 for adults and ₹10 for children. However, these fees are subject to change, so please verify with local forest officials before your visit.
How do You Book My Safari the Locals’ Way?
All you can do is book through a large portal or offices. This is how you do it:
- Go to Fulay village, the closest base.
- Talk to local tour operators or guides there. They understand the tracks, avian areas, and safe routes.
- Settle timing (late afternoon or morning), the vehicle and price.
- Make sure that walking into the wetland or taking photographs is permitted.
Do not venture alone. The tracks are confusing and easy to lose. In fact, travellers recommend getting guidance from camel herders or locals if you stray.
Ideal Time to Go
The window between November and March is ideal. That is when migratory birds arrive and water stays in the wetland. Also, October to December works, because water levels are good for bird action. Avoid mid-summer when much of Chhari Dhand dries up and few birds remain.
Turn Your Trip into a Story
So you know the complete story. Opening times, price, how to book, best time and practical tip. If your trip to Chhari Dhand comes between 23rd October 2025 and 4th March 2026, combine it with Rann Utsav. Enjoy cultural events, local art and music and nature all in one. Do your Rann Utsav The Tent City Booking in advance. You’d go away from Gujarat with photographs of birds, and with its handicrafts and momentos, and with very good memories.
