View of Great Rann of Kutch

View of Great Rann of Kutch from the highest point in Bhuj district, Kaladungar hills. Down below in the white surface is the India bridge, the last civilian point before the desert spreads around to reach the neighbouring Pakistan.

Moonlight and crystal salt radiate whiteness on the desert

The border security post is the last point of life as one goes past village Dordo into the white Rann at the Great Rann of Kutch in Bhuj district. Civilians got to set foot on the white Rann after having their baggages checked as they troop in as guests of the Rann Utsav hosted by Gujarat Tourism.

It is an exotic sight to uphold and cherish. As the salt freezes on the surface of the barren stretch of Kutch in the winter months, it allows one to walk across and be engulfed in the whiteness of the landscape and the eyes can catch nothing but an unreachable horizon all around.
