Comfortable outstation cab with professional drivers • Transparent fares • Flat 15% OFF on one-way trips
Overview
The Rann of Kutch is the world's largest salt flat, a 27,900 sq km seasonally flooded desert that transforms into an infinite white expanse of crystallised salt in winter — a landscape of hallucinatory beauty with no equal in India. Every winter from November to February, the Gujarat Tourism's Rann Utsav festival brings a 'Tent City' near Dhordo village to the edge of the great Rann, with cultural performances, camel rides, and full-moon nights on the white desert. Adjacent to the Rann is the Indian Wild Ass Sanctuary in the Little Rann of Kutch, the last stronghold of the Asiatic wild ass (Ghudkhur). From Mumbai, Kutch Rann is approximately 1010 kilometres away — a 15-16-hour drive on NH 48 that offers pleasant highway views. Miles Tours & Travels provides reliable taxi service from Mumbai to Kutch Rann at competitive rates with a flat 15% discount on one-way bookings.
NH 48 / National Highway GujaratHistory & Significance
Kutch was an independent princely state ruled by the Jadeja Rajputs from 1548 until 1947, with a maritime trading tradition stretching back to the Indus Valley civilisation — the ancient port city of Dholavira on Khadir Island in the Rann is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with 5,000-year-old ruins. The Rann's salt flats were a significant British-era salt production zone and the scene of some of the earliest confrontations with British taxation during Gandhi's era.

The edge of the Great Rann at Dhordo is the Rann Utsav's base; a short walk onto the salt flat at sunset or under the full moon is one of the most otherworldly experiences in India.
Dholavira (UNESCO World Heritage Site)
A 5,000-year-old Indus Valley city on Khadir Island in the Rann with elaborate water reservoirs, sign boards, and a 10-gated citadel — the fifth-largest Harappan city, accessible by a causeway from Bhachau.
