Best time to visit & permits

• Season: October–March is most pleasant for desert walks and craft trails. Evenings can be cold—carry warm layers.
• Rann Utsav: Winter festival with folk shows and tent experiences (operational details vary yearly).
• Permits: Desert entry permits are usually required near Dhordo; carry valid government ID. We assist with the process.
• Monsoon/Summer: Travel is possible with planning; expect heat in summer and limited access in rains based on authority guidelines.
