DHORDO, KUTCH, GUJARAT – For many Gujarati families living across the UAE and the wider Gulf, the winter school break is the time to head home. Namak Resort, a boutique tent resort near Dhordo in Gujarat’s Rann of Kutch, is welcoming those travellers this season with a calm, meal-inclusive place to stay a short drive from the White Rann.
The season runs from November 2026 to February 2027, when the salt desert is at its brightest and the Rann Utsav festival brings music, craft and food to Dhordo.
The resort is intentionally small, with 21 stays: ten Premium Tents, ten Super Premium Tents and one Darbari Suite. Rates are per tent per night for two guests, with breakfast, hi-tea and dinner included in the Premium and Super Premium tents, along with an evening cultural programme. Premium Tents start at Rs 8,500 plus GST. The Darbari Suite, at Rs 28,000 plus GST, adds all meals, priority check-in, and pickup, drop-off, sightseeing and transfers as per the confirmed itinerary. Families can see the full details on the tent rates page.
“Many of the families who plan a Kutch trip from the Gulf want the White Rann without the rush, with meals taken care of and a quiet tent to come back to,” said the Namak team. “That is what we have built Namak to be.”
Full-moon nights and the 18-31 December week carry a seasonal surcharge and fill early, so families planning around the winter break are advised to book ahead. More on the tents and the season is available at staying near Rann Utsav at Namak.
