What is the Tent City at Dhordo?
The tent city is a seasonal luxury camp set up near the village of Dhordo in Kutch, right on the edge of the White Rann. Every year during the Rann Utsav festival, hundreds of comfortable tents — from premium AC tents to royal suites — are arranged with full hospitality: dining, cultural programmes, activities and easy access to the white desert. Staying here means you wake up beside the salt desert and enjoy the festival without long daily commutes.
Dhordo has earned global recognition as a model tourism village, which is why a tent city Dhordo booking is the most sought-after stay during the season. To understand the desert itself, see our guide to the White Rann of Kutch.

December and New Year are busiest and priciest; weekdays in November and February offer better value and smaller crowds.
