Kutch, resembling a tortoise-shaped island, is a former princely state in India that retains its majestic allure from yesteryears. It stands out as one of India’s most stunning and otherworldly destinations, with vast stretches of white salt desert. The region truly comes alive during the winter months, particularly during the Rann Festival held from December to February. The festival transforms the area with large camp settlements hosting cultural events, functions, and exciting activities like hot-air ballooning, adding to the surreal charm of Kutch.
