Day Excursion to Little Rann Of Kutch from Ahmedabad

The Rann of Kutch is a salt marsh located in the West Indian state of Gujarat. It is divided into two regions, Great Rann of Kutch and Little Rann of Kutch, which constitute the world’s largest salt marsh that is spread over an area of 10 000 square miles. It is home to the endangered species of the Indian Wild Ass and other animals like blackbucks, wolves, foxes, nilgai antelopes and gazelles. On this day trip experience the unique landscape of this vast expanse of white where the only sound that you will hear is the sound of silence.

Highlights
• White salt desert
• The Indian Wild Ass
• Salt making
• Jeep safari

You will be picked up from your hotel in Ahmedabad and driven to the Little Rann of Kutch, a distance of around 112 miles from Ahmedabad.

Kutch is the largest district of Gujarat where as many as 18 tribes live harmoniously, in spite of their distinct language, culture and customs. This barren, salt-tinted land is nature at its harshest and most compelling. See how salt is made in the open salt pans that cover the landscape. Over 60% of the total salt production in India comes from this region. Next take a lunch break at the Royal Safari Camp, Bajana.

After lunch go on a jeep safari in the Indian Wild Ass Sanctuary, home to the last remaining population of the chestnut-coloured Indian Wild Ass. Unlike most of the wildlife sanctuaries in India, this reserve is a desert with parched grasslands that are just right for the animals who reside there.

At the end of the tour you will be driven back to Ahmedabad and dropped-off at your hotel.
