"We booked the 2N/3D Deluxe AC tent for the Christmas-week date. The tent city is exactly as advertised — clean, well-organised, magical at sunset. The folk performance after dinner was the surprise highlight. Will return next year."

"Travelled solo for the January full moon. Felt completely safe at the Rann Utsav Tent City. Staff were warm, food was excellent Gujarati thali every day. The Non-AC cottage was perfectly comfortable in late January."

"Six adults, two children. The Premium Luxury tents at the Tent City Dhordo were a small splurge but worth it for the family — the kids called it "the world's biggest sandcastle." Bhuj transfers were on time. Excellent organisation."
