Road To Heaven
15th November – 21ST November 2024
7 Nights/ 8 Days
Rann of Kutch is one of the most beautiful and world’s largest salt desert. It is a perfect combination of nature’s beauty, culture and tradition, luxury of colours and celebration, all together reflect the magnificence of Kutch. The Great Rann of Kutch is situated in the district of Kutch, between the Gulf of Kutch and the mouth of the Indus River in southern Pakistan. Self-drive trips are the best, because they make you experience the local culture and interact with local people on your way. The best time to visit Kutch is between October to February. In this period the weather is pleasant and bearable. The camel ride is something you can enjoy here. Walk on the beach in Mandvi; watch the birds and windmills rotating in circles above the cool water.
