Information about the places ::

The Great Rann of Kutch :   is a massive salt desert which measures around ten thousand square kilometers in Gujrat. An amazing remarkable thing about this place is that it goes underwater when the monsoon season sets in at full force. The rest of the year, the Rann of Kutch remains an enormous desert of salt. The Rann Utsav is an awesome festival that takes place between December – February every year. It is a carnival full of music and dance. Rann appears even more mesmerizing than usual if  witnessed under the full moon.
