Rann Utsav 2026 dates and busy weeks

Then, the booking page describes a season of nearly 100 days. Travel site GoAsia lists the high demand periods as Diwali week, the full moon nights. However, Christmas to New Year from 18 December to 2 January. The nearest full moon window this month is 22 to 25 November.

GoAsia also warned that Gujarat Tourism’s festival page still showed old dates when it checked. So confirm dates and rates on the official booking form before you pay for flights or non refundable stays.

What the Rann Utsav 2026 packages include

Next, the official site lists six tent types: Non AC Swiss Cottage, AC Swiss Cottage, Premium, Super Premium, Rajwadi Suite and Darbari Suite. The starting prices above are marked as “from” prices, so the tent you want may cost more. So, the booking summary adds 18 percent tax.

Packages include breakfast, lunch, evening tea and dinner, with Kutchi, Gujarati and multi cuisine options. Also, some sightseeing is included. Activities such as camel rides, ATV rides, paramotoring and hot air balloon rides are offered. But the site does not say whether they are part of the package price, so ask before booking.

How to reach Dhordo from Bhuj

Dhordo is about 85 km from Bhuj, which usually takes 1.5 to 2 hours by road. However, the official site lists pickups from Bhuj at 8:15 am, 10:00 am, 1:30 pm and 3:30 pm. If you arrive outside those slots, you may need your own transport.
