Gujarat Tourism, Evoke Experiences to bring Rann Utsav Tent City from Nov 1

Operated by Evoke Experiences in collaboration with Gujarat Tourism, the 2026–27 season will run until March 7, 2027 and connect the White Rann with a wider Kutch itinerary.

The 2026–27 season for Rann Utsav–The Tent City, operated by Evoke Experiences in collaboration with Gujarat Tourism, is confirmed to run from November 1, 2026, to March 7, 2027.  

This season will feature tented accommodation, regional dining, adventure and wellness activities, curated excursions and stargazing beneath Kutch’s clear, low-light desert skies. Cultural programming will include performances by the Siddi community,  the Afro-Indian community of Gujarat , alongside folk music and dance accompanied by traditional instruments including the Jodiya Pava, Santar, Manjira, Harmonium, Ghado-Gamelo, Dholak and Morchhang.  

The on-site Haat will bring together artisans and makers from across the region, offering Ajrakh textiles, intricate embroidery, Bandhani sarees, traditional jewellery, mirror work and Lippan art. Together, the performances and marketplace position the Tent City as a showcase of Kutch’s diverse cultural and artistic legacy.  

Travellers can also extend their Kutch itinerary beyond Dhordo to Dholavira. The journey includes the celebrated Road to Heaven, a dramatic 30-km stretch of ruler-straight highway cutting through the Great Rann of Kutch, with the expansive salt landscape unfolding on either side.  

The route leads to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Dholavira and Evoke Dholavira property. For the upcoming season, Evoke Experiences will add 35 seasonal tents on land adjacent to the property, offering another tented-stay option for travellers exploring the Harappan site and Khadir Bet. Dhordo will remain the centre of Rann Utsav’s celebrations, while Dholavira will serve as a separate archaeological and landscape-led extension.
