Why Rann Utsav is Best Experienced from the Praveg White Rann Resort

The Great Rann of Kutch is a place of tranquillity, but during winter it also becomes a wonderful sight. The Rann Utsav is a festival of culture in Gujarat that calls to all travellers throughout the world to witness the local folklore performances, art, adventurous activities, and the phenomenon of witnessing the moonlit white salt desert.  

For a once-in-a-lifetime spectacle, your accommodation choice will also play a huge role in your true appreciation for this experience, and for many travellers, this has become Praveg White Rann Resort in Dhordo, which is why.  

1. Getting Close to the Action 

Praveg White Rann Resort is in Dhordo village, which is approximately 4 km from the White Rann area – you can enjoy the great convenience of distance from the main site of activities at the festival, and also with a good view of sunrise and sunsets of the salt desert.  

So, staying in Dhordo means you can experience it at different times of the day without spending hours travelling – that’s what some might classify as a luxury for travellers.

2. A Harmony of Comfort and Traditions

Accommodation here is more than a roof over your head – it is part of the culture. Guests have a choice of spacious, air-conditioned tents or Rajwadi Bhungas, the traditional, circular mud huts that typify the handicraft of Kutch. 

The exterior of the Bhungas may seem rustic, but the interior has all of the modern comforts: fluffy bedding, large, well-kept bathrooms, and the whole hut is spacious and clean. The Bhungas are a warm mix of Kutchi etherealness with modern cosiness.

3. Food that Has a Story to Tell

The food played a major role in the Rann Utsav experience. Arguably, the best aspect was that the in-house dining setup offered authentic Gujarati and Kutchi food at Praveg White Rann Resort. The food was made fresh with authentic cooking techniques, served in an arrangement that felt less like eating out and more like feasting with the community. 

When it comes to food, you can expect bajra rotla with ghee, kadhi, sweet dishes, and traditional dishes that are made from generations of recipes passed along.

4. Cultural Evenings in the Desert

Even after the festival wraps for the day, the resort will keep the party going.  Guests enjoyed folk dance shows during the evenings, music sessions, and storytelling around a bonfire.  Whether it was the spinning of the Garba dancer under the night sky to the thump of the dhol or the smell of the fire and sugar from the mehndi of the artists weaving in and out, every evening was magical!

5. Beyond the Festival 

Rann Utsav is the main event, but Kutch is a treasure trove of destinations:   

• Kalo Dungar (Black Hill) for magnificent panoramic views of the vast desert  
• Mandvi Beach, with its golden sand and heritage shipyard   
• Aina Mahal and Prag Mahal in Bhuj are worth your time if you like architecture  
• A visit to the Indo-Pak Border is also a worthy experience  

It’s possible to just relax and leave the destination details to the resort and its guided tours.  

6. A Moonlit Rann Experience 

If I had to choose the most incredible aspect of your stay, I would conclude that visiting the White Rann under a full moon has to be at the top of the list. The white salt flats shining bright like silver light up the landscape in stunning beauty. And with the resort in such proximity, you can be spontaneous to visit the moonlit White Rann and take the best of the best memories home with you.
