Evoke Experiences has launched White Rann, The Tent City, a unique luxury accommodation in Dholavira, Kutch, providing travellers with an immersive experience. Featuring 150 premium tents, the property is the perfect base to explore the region’s historical significance and striking natural landscapes. The tent city also boasts a clubhouse with indoor games, a dedicated celebration area for special events, and a wellness-focused spa offering upscale treatments.
Located near the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Dholavira, White Rann, The Tent City is strategically positioned for those looking to delve into the history of the ancient Indus Valley civilisation. The on-site archaeology museum and excavation site further deepen visitors’ understanding of the region’s rich past. The nearby Wood Fossil Park also provides a rare opportunity to witness fossilised tree trunks, some millions of years old.
The property is ideally placed for guests seeking to explore the famed White Rann, a vast salt desert that transforms into a stunning visual spectacle under the glow of the setting sun. The locale is known for the annual Rann Utsav, a cultural festival celebrating the vibrant traditions of the Kutch region through music, dance, arts, and local cuisine. The festival has become a hallmark event, drawing domestic and international tourists.
White Rann, The Tent City, is accessible via the newly constructed Road to Heaven, a 30-kilometre scenic route connecting Khavda to Dholavira. Travellers along this route are greeted by the sight of endless salt flats merging with the sky, and, during certain seasons, flocks of flamingos add their vibrant colours to the landscape. The route has quickly gained recognition as an attraction in its own right, offering a surreal, almost otherworldly experience.
“The opening of White Rann, The Tent City, reflects our commitment to providing exceptional travel experiences in some of India’s most unique locations,” said Bhavik Sheth, COO of Evoke Experiences. “Dholavira and the Great Rann of Kutch offer an unparalleled blend of natural beauty, cultural heritage, and history. We are proud to offer a destination that allows guests to fully experience the wonders of this lesser-explored region in both luxury and comfort,” he added.
To complement the adventure of exploring the White Desert and surrounding attractions, White Rann, The Tent City also offers a range of leisure activities. These include cultural performances showcasing traditional Kutch music and dance, morning yoga sessions, and culinary experiences featuring local and international cuisine. The property aims to provide a well-rounded experience for its visitors, ensuring that relaxation, entertainment, and cultural immersion are all part of their stay.
The tent city will be operational from November to March, coinciding with the region’s cooler months, providing optimal conditions for exploring the vast salt marshes and attending the Rann Utsav. Visitors will have access to seamless transfers from Bhuj Railway Station, Bhuj Airport, and Dhordo, with flexibility for both individual and group arrivals.
