“The Great Rann of Kutch is saline clay desert located in the Thar Desert in the Indian state of Gujarat...” I will stop right there…… before I go on and define what the Rann actually IS from some source on the I N T E R N E T… I will plainly say experiencing it is again something words could not begin to describe. The Rann stimulates all of your senses simultaneously. As the salty air tingles each of your taste buds the cool wind dances in and around your hair, you will find a profound silence that captivates even the youngest of children. Making your way down from the raised roads and walk towards this new kind of desert- you notice the ground below you crunching like stepping into fresh snow or even rice krispies! Enjoying the scenery you observe your surroundings while experiencing an incomparable feeling of peace while standing in this heavenly place. And as you finally go to grab the gem like floor you stand on- you find it to be remarkably cool as the bright chunks of salt slowly crumble into fine grains that pass through the gaps of your fingers. This place is simply bucket list worthy. When the sun begins to set, the Rann fools your eyes by transforming to what seems like a body of water. Reflecting the sun on its ground and not being able to differentiate where exactly the sky ends The Great Rann of Kutch becomes indescribably beautiful.
