Nov 12, 2026

Rann Utsav 2026–27, which began on November 1, is showcasing the breathtaking White Rann of Kutch and Gujarat’s rich cultural heritage to tourists from India and abroad. Dhordo has emerged as a major global tourism destination, offering visitors comfortable stays through Tent City, around 42 resorts and homestays, along with improved local transport facilities. This year, the White Rann developed its iconic white landscape earlier than usual due to low rainfall, attracting more visitors. Tourists have expressed delight at the scenic beauty and hospitality. The festival is also boosting local livelihoods by creating opportunities for artisans, handicraft sellers and local businesses, while promoting Kutch’s traditions and strengthening Gujarat’s sustainable tourism potential.
