The\u00a0Rann of Kutch\u00a0is a seasonal\u00a0salt marsh\u00a0located in the\u00a0Thar Desert\u00a0in the\u00a0Kutch District\u00a0of\u00a0Gujarat,\u00a0India\u00a0and the\u00a0Sindh\u00a0province\u00a0of\u00a0Pakistan. It is almost 3 thousand square miles in size and is reputed to be one of the largest salt desert in the world.<\/p>\n

The name “Rann” comes from the\u00a0Hindi\u00a0word\u00a0ran\u00a0(\u0930\u0923) meaning \u201cdesert”. For centuries, this area is been inhabited by the friendly Kutchi people who live in towns, village and small cities in and around the desert. Some are salt workers, others livestock herders and still others are nomadic people live out on the salt flats and in the dry desolate areas, moving continuously with the seasons.<\/p>\n

We spent 2 days in this fascinating area, photographing village life, observing wildlife, livestock herders, salt workers and visiting lakes within the Rann which are host to migratory birds including large numbers of flamingos.<\/p>\n

The 2017 India: Gujarat and the Malabar Coast photo tour has just two spots remaining open, so if you\u2019re interesting in joining us next year, click over to\u00a0JimCinePhotoTours.com<\/a>\u00a0and sign up soon. Attendance is, as always, based on a first come-first served basis.<\/p>\n
