A Tour To The Empty Void Of Nothingness At The Rann Of Kutch

“Everything we see is a shadow cast by that which we do not see” – Martin Luther King.

My trip to Gujarat reminded me of this excellent quote of the famous American humanitarian Martin Luther King. While riding into the white desert of Kutch, I was amused to see its vastness.

This time we planned our trip with Zenith Holidays and believe me my trip was extraordinary this time. We chose the group escorted toursIndian and overseas from this company and we are very satisfied with its tour service.

I was actually enjoying the barrenness of this place. I felt as if I was only accompanied by my shadow although my friends were also there along with me. The Great Rann of Kutch is a seasonal salt marsh covering Kutch district of Gujarat and Sindh province of Pakistan. The vastness of the desert covers an area of about 7,500 sq kms and is known as the largest salt desert in the world.

Moving towards the Pakistan border, we were told to stop at the check-post as we are not allowed to go beyond this. Like good people, we obeyed their order and started chatting with two Indian soldiers. Nice people with descent behavior. I was wondering how these brave soldiers from far-flung places are trying to earn their livelihood to support their families. They have chosen a tough life for themselves as there always prevails a cold war between the two countries.

Kutch is a huge tent city having exotic markets and food stalls. The entire place is crowded with Indian as well as foreign tourists. Some of them are strolling on the paved path of the desert while others are moving in and around the salt areas. I decided to ignore them and enjoy the vast horizon of emptiness which gave me goosebumps.

With the sunset and approaching dusk, we decided to leave that place and visited Bhuj, the provincial capital of Kutch. My eyes were completely stunned to look at the ravishing Gujarati dresses rich embroidered with mirror and zari work. We could not resist ourselves from purchasing those colorful clothes.

The overall experience was of our trip to Gujarat was awesome. If you plan for a trip to this beautiful place, book the packages from the best tour and travel company in India.
