What is the Little Rann of Kutch known for?
It is a seasonally flooded salt marsh that holds the Indian Wild Ass Sanctuary, the last stronghold of the khur or Indian wild ass. It is also a major winter birding site and home to the Agariya salt-farming communities.

Will I definitely see the wild ass?
The Indian wild ass is reliably seen on dry-season safaris, but as with all wildlife, sightings vary with season, water levels, and luck. Our naturalist guides set honest expectations and time drives for the best chance.
