Rann of Kutch Festival - Rann Utsav Dates: 

The Rann Utsav is scheduled from 26th Oct 2022 to 20th Feb 2023. Once upon a time long long ago the light emitted from Moon was the only source of light in this region. Experiencing the white desert at night used to be special. But, currently, there are hundreds of Giant floodlights installed in the entire area which makes the moonlight barely noticeable. These lights are similar to cricket stadium lights during night matches. Now you can plan for any date without worrying about the Moon. 

If you missed out on booking the special batch. The general tourist package is AVAILABLE for all dates
