Yes, usually Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner are included during your stay at the resort (Day 1 & 2). Lunch on Day 3 (in Bhuj) is usually on your own.

2 Night 3 Days Rann Utsav Itinerary

Q: Why is the 2N/3D package the most popular?

It offers the perfect balance. You get enough time to see the sunrise, sunset, and full moon without rushing. It justifies the long travel to Bhuj.

Q: What is the cost of a 2N/3D package?

Budget packages (Non-AC Bhunga + Car) start from ₹6,500 per person. Mid-range AC packages are ₹8,500-₹10,500. Luxury Tent City packages start from ₹16,000+.

Q: Can we visit Mandvi in this itinerary?

It is tight but possible. You can visit Mandvi on Day 3 instead of Bhuj sightseeing, but you might have to rush to catch your evening train/flight.

Q: Which train should I book from Mumbai?

Book the Kutch Express (22955). It reaches Bhuj at 8:50 AM (perfect for Day 1 start) and the return train (22956) leaves at 8:15 PM (perfect for Day 3 end).

Q: Is Dholavira included?

No. Dholavira is far (100km one way from Dhordo). To include Dholavira comfortably, we recommend upgrading to the 3 Nights / 4 Days package.

Q: Can we customize the pickup time?

Yes, since we provide private AC cars, we can pick you up from Bhuj Airport, Railway Station, or Bus stand at any time convenient to you.

Q: Is Kalo Dungar visit included?

Yes, a trip to Kalo Dungar (Black Hill) for sunset is a standard part of the Day 2 itinerary in this package.

Q: Are permits included?

Yes, our package cost includes the Rann Utsav Entry Permit fee and processing. You just need to send us your ID proofs.

Q: What if I want to stay 1 night in Tent City and 1 night in a Resort?

We can create a 'Combo Package' for you. However, it involves packing and unpacking twice. We recommend staying 2 nights at one place for a relaxed trip.

The Bestseller Package: Experience Kutch at the Perfect Pace.

Why is this our most booked package? Because 2 Nights gives you the luxury of time. You don't have to rush from the airport to the sunset point. You get to experience the desert at sunrise, sunset, and under the full moon. You have time to shop, eat local food, and soak in the culture. Here is exactly how your 3 days will look.

Detailed Day-Wise Plan

Day 1: Arrival & The White Desert

Morning (09:00 AM): Pick up from Bhuj Airport or Railway Station. Meet your driver. Start the 1.5-hour drive to Dhordo.

Check-in (12:30 PM): Welcome drink and check-in at your Resort/Tent City. Enjoy a lavish Kutchi Lunch buffet.

Evening (05:00 PM): This is the highlight. We take you to the White Desert. Walk on the salt. Watch the sun dip below the horizon, turning the white ground orange.

Night (09:00 PM): Return to the resort for Dinner and the Cultural Show (Folk Dance & Music).

Day 2: Kalo Dungar & Craft Villages

Sunrise (06:30 AM): Optional. Wake up early to see the desert sunrise. It is peaceful and less crowded than sunset.

Afternoon (03:00 PM): After lunch, drive to Kalo Dungar (Black Hill). Stop at the "Magnetic Point" on the way up.

Late Afternoon: Visit the Dattatreya Temple and see the wild jackal feeding. Enjoy the panoramic view of the Rann Lake.

Evening (06:30 PM): On the way back, visit Gandhi Nu Gam. Meet the artisans and buy colorful wooden crafts. Return for Dinner.

Day 3: Heritage & Departure

Morning (09:30 AM): Breakfast and Checkout. Drive back towards Bhuj.

Stopover (11:00 AM): Visit Bhujodi (Hiralaxmi Craft Park). This is the best place to buy Shawls, Sarees, and handicrafts.

Sightseeing (01:00 PM): Explore Aina Mahal, Prag Mahal, and Swaminarayan Temple in Bhuj city.

Departure (06:00 PM): Drop off at Bhuj Station/Airport with bags full of memories (and shopping!).

Customize Your Trip

We understand one size doesn't fit all. Here are popular variations we can arrange:

Add Mandvi Beach?

If you want to visit Mandvi, we can swap the "Day 3 Bhuj Sightseeing" with a trip to Mandvi. Note: You will need to skip Aina Mahal to make it to the train on time.

Add Dholavira?

To visit Dholavira comfortably, we suggest extending this to a 3 Night 4 Day package. Doing it in 2 nights is exhausting.

Price Estimate (Per Person)

Standard (Non-AC Bhunga): ₹6,500 - ₹7,500
Deluxe (AC Cottage): ₹8,500 - ₹10,500
Premium (Tent City): ₹16,000+

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Why is the 2N/3D package the most popular?

It hits the sweet spot. You have enough time to see everything without rushing. You get two chances to see the sunset (Day 1 & Day 2), which is great if Day 1 is cloudy.

2. What is the cost of a 2N/3D package?

Budget: ₹6,500 - ₹7,500 per person.
Standard AC: ₹9,500 - ₹11,500 per person.
Luxury Tent City: ₹16,000+ per person.

3. Can we visit Mandvi in this itinerary?

Yes, but it requires a trade-off. You can swap the Bhuj City Tour on Day 3 with Mandvi Beach. However, be prepared for a longer drive (60km one way) before your train.

4. Is food included?

Yes. Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner are included during your stay at the resort in Dhordo (Day 1 and Day 2). Lunch on Day 3 in Bhuj is usually paid by you at a restaurant.

5. Which train should I book from Mumbai?

The Kutch Express (22955) is perfect. It arrives at 8:50 AM (Day 1). For return, take the Kutch Express (22956) departing at 8:15 PM (Day 3).

6. Can we customize the pickup time?

Yes. Since our packages include a Private AC Car (not a shared bus), the driver waits for you. Whether your train is early or late, the car is yours.

7. Is Dholavira included?

No. Dholavira requires a full day (10-12 hours). Including it in a 3-day trip makes it very hectic. We recommend the 4-Day package if Dholavira is a priority.

8. Is Kalo Dungar visit included?

Yes. The trip to Kalo Dungar and the Magnetic Hill point is a standard inclusion in our 2N/3D package on Day 2.

9. Are permits included?

Yes. We handle the online permit application for you. The fee is included in the package cost. You just need to carry your original ID proof.

10. What if I want to stay 1 night in Tent City and 1 night in a Resort?

We can arrange a "Split Stay". However, packing and checking out on Day 2 morning to change hotels consumes 2 hours of your holiday. Staying 2 nights at one place is more relaxing.
