“We recently visited Ran of Kutch....The road from Bhuj to Ran of Kutch is all empty and barren....You need to take a permit for entering in Ran of Kutch. From there you can take your vehicle to a tower-like structure from where the actual ran starts. ...From that point, you need to take camel cart safari to enter in the desert. The sand is coated with heavy white crystalline salt, as it is nothing but the sea bet. Air is salty. ”
