Info

Dhordo - a tourist site of white desert Dhordo is the last village in the west of Banni at the edge of the white desert which attract a large number of tourists in January. The government has also started tourist festival - Ranotsav during the winter. Just a few kilometer from Dhordo, there is the spectacular White Desert situated in the Great Rann. Dhordo is about 80 km from Bhuj. The White Desert is a result of accumulated salt - during the rains it comes under sea water marginally diluted by the rain water, but during winters as the water evaporates, the salt accumulates over the muds to turn it into the spectacular White Desert. To get the very best of this visual experience, one should be there on a full moon night - the entire area glitters with the reflection of moon light. Salt industries also have their eyes on this salt rich area. True wilderness still prevails in a part of Kachchh, including the Rann. The Rann is one of a few areas in the country where ecological integrity is intact till now but the pace of developments during the recent years have had some impact. Like other natural areas, anthropogenic activities started increasing in this area also. Protecting the wilderness character of this wonderful and unique landscape is a challenge to all of us.
