Good to know
Things to Do questions
When can I actually see the white desert?
The salt flats are white and walkable only after the monsoon water dries, roughly November to March. Outside that window the Rann is often water or mud, so we plan visits strictly within the season.
Do I need a permit for the Rann?
Yes. Because the white desert sits near the international border, visitors pass a checkpoint and need a permit, which our team arranges as part of the logistics.
Where do I base myself?
Most guests stay in luxury tents near Dhordo during the season, or in a boutique desert resort, with Bhuj as an alternative base for the craft villages. We match the base to your dates and interests.
