‍

Description:

We are proudly presenting the fifth edition of the Rann of Kutch ride. We have been adding some extra destinations since our last edition, to enrich the overall experience.

The ride starts with the Bhuj town ride, this is just to check our cycles as they will be assembled after the transport from your home location. This will give you a chance to go through the sights of the Bhuj town, palaces (if time permits) and ride along the lake. Then the real ride begins the next day early morning - by visiting local artisans and ends at Bhuj after three days. In between we ride through a range of terrains, enjoy local food, culture, make new friends, and of course, we run through the white Rann of Kutch. 

It is an easy paced ride with practically no climbs! Beautiful scenery dotted with parched lands, birds of prey, migratory birds, camels, colorful Kutch life and many more things! The idea is to have fun with the group in the landscape of Kutch. The road surface is from smooth tar roads, to parched lands, so a hybrid or gravel cycle is recommended. MTBs and Roadies are also welcome.

The ride distance varies from 60 KM in a day to about 80-85 km in a day. We have a lot of stops, photo opportunities and food. We always have a support vehicle which will carry water jars, some of your things and luggage.
