  • This White Rann of Kutch Vlog is based on my visit to the Great Rann of Kutch in Gujarat, India. If you are planning to visit Rann of Kutch Festival(Rann Utsav), then you need to reach Dhordo Kutch. Even if you are not planning to visit Dhordo Rann Utsav, you can still enjoy the White Rann of Kutch lake which is a huge salt marsh spread over an area of 27000 sq km between India and Pakistan. Rann of Kutch is promoted a lot by Gujarat Tourism, specially the popular Rann Utsav which is held every year. Although, this video is not Rann of Kutch documentary but you can still get enough information out of it like information about Rann of Kutch Full moon night(Rann of Kutch Night view), Rann of Kutch Pakistan Border, Rann of Kutch Tour Plan, Rann of Kutch Budget Trip. So, you can plan your Rann of Kutch bike ride or you can come here by Car. You can plan to stay at Dhordo tent city or any other good accommodation options available nearby. Although a lot of people search about Rann of Kutch in Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu and English, but I know only Hindi and English and as I feel more comfortable speaking in Hindi that's the reason I have made this vlog in Hindi.
    Kalo Dungar Kutch also known as Black Hill(Kalo Dungar Hill) is known to be the highest point of Kutch. You will also find Kalo Dungar Magnetic Hill here and it is said that the vehicles defy gravity here. Kalo Dungar Kutch Gujarat is around 48 kms away from Dhordo and you will find 400 years old Kalo Dungar Dattatreya Temple here which will complete your Kalo Dungar Kutch Trip for sure. Kalo Dungar Kutch Road is in pretty good shape but it has a steep climb. I dont know Gujarati but so I cant explain Kalo Dungar History in Gujarati but I have tried to tell Kalo Dungar History in Hindi. Kalo Dungar Gujarat is a well known place among the religious people as well as those who want to get to the highest point of Kutch. Surprisingly, Kalo Dungar to Pakistan Border is also not so far away and that is why you will se BSF officers posted in that region.
    Let me tell you more about Rann of Kutch and Kalo Dungar Gujarat.
    The Rann of Kutch is situated mostly in the Indian state of Gujarat in the Kutch district, for which it is named as the Great Rann of Kutch. Some parts of it extend towards the Pakistani province of Sindh. The word Rann stands for "desert".
    The Rann of Kutch covers almost 27,000 square kms in India and Pakistan. The Great Rann of Kutch is known to be the larger portion of the Rann. It extends to the east and west, with the Thar Desert towards the north and the low hills of Kutch towards the south. The Indus River Delta lies towards the west in southern region of Pakistan. The Little Rann of Kutch lies towards the southeast of the Great Rann, and it extends towards the south of the Gulf of Kutch. A lot of rivers originating in Rajasthan as well as Gujarat flow into the Rann of Kutch, which include the Luni, Bhuki, Bharud, Nara, Kharod, Banas, Saraswati, Rupen, Bambhan, and Machchhu. Kori Creek and Sir Creek, tidal creeks which are known to be part of the Indus River Delta, are situated at the western end of the Great Rann.
    The surface of Rann of Kutch is generally flat and is known to be very close to sea level, and most of the Rann floods every year during the monsoon season. There are areas of Rann with sandy higher ground, called bets or medaks, which lie almost two to three metres above flood level. Trees and shrubs grow quite well on the bets, and they are known to provide refuges for wildlife during the annual floods.
    Kalo Dungar( Also known as Black Hill) is the highest point in Kutch, Gujarat at an altitude of 462 m (1,516 ft) from the sea level. It is situated 97 km from District headquarters of Bhuj and 25 km from nearest town Khavda.
    This is known to be the only place in Kachchh from where you will get a panoramic view of the Great Rann of Kutch. Since it is situated very close to the Pakistan border, there is an Army post at the top; beyond here, only army personnel are allowed. The Kalo Dungar is also known for a 400-year-old Dattatreya temple. Kalo Dungar magnetic hill is a famous optical illusion spot where vehicle seems to defy the gravity and roll up the slope.
