Overview
The Rann of Kutch, a vast salt marsh in Gujarat, is a surreal landscape that glows under the moonlight and dazzles during the famous Rann Utsav with its cultural performances, handicrafts, and desert adventures. A journey here can be beautifully paired with a spiritual circuit to two of Gujarat’s revered Jyotirlingas—Somnath and Nageshwar. Somnath, standing proudly on the Arabian Sea coast, is celebrated as the first among the twelve Jyotirlingas, symbolizing Lord Shiva’s eternal presence. Nageshwar, near Dwarka, is believed to protect devotees from poison and negativity, offering a serene spiritual experience. Together, the shimmering white desert of Kutch and the divine Jyotirlinga temples create a trip that blends nature’s wonder with deep spiritual resonance, making Gujarat a destination of both awe and devotion.
