Before you book

Dates, answered

What are the Rann Utsav 2026-27 season dates?

The season runs 1 November 2026 to 7 March 2027 — 127 nights of festival. Full moon nights, Diwali week and the Christmas–New Year window are the busiest and highest-demand dates within that season.

When are the full moon nights in 2026-27?

Confirmed full moon windows are 22–25 November 2026, 21–24 December 2026, 20–23 January 2027 and 18–21 February 2027. The White Desert stays open later on these nights and they are the single most requested dates of the season — book 3–4 months ahead.

What is a "dark moon night" and should I book one?

Dark moon nights (9 Nov, 8 Dec, 7 Jan, 6 Feb) have no moonlight — the desert sky is at its darkest, which stargazers and astrophotographers specifically seek out. They also tend to have better availability than full moon dates, other than 9 November which falls inside Diwali week.

How much extra does a peak date cost?

Peak dates (Diwali week, full moon windows, and general December–January outside Christmas week) carry a surcharge of ₹2,000 for 1 night, ₹3,500 for 2 nights and ₹4,500 for 3 nights per person, on top of the base tariff. The Christmas & New Year window (18 Dec–2 Jan) carries the highest surcharge: ₹4,000 / ₹6,000 / ₹8,000.

Which dates have no surcharge at all?

November (outside Diwali week and the full moon window), and most of February and March, are priced at the base tariff — ₹6,300 per person per night for a Non-AC Swiss Cottage. These dates also tend to have the best tent availability if you are booking closer to your travel date.

I don’t have exact dates yet — can you still help?

Yes. Send us your preferred month or a rough date range on WhatsApp and we’ll tell you which specific dates are open, whether they fall on a surcharge window, and what the exact all-inclusive price works out to.
