Via Bhuj (train/flight) or Ahmedabad with road transfer. Rann Utsav Packages from Mumbai and Pune include train coordination on group departures.

Does the Bhuj package include transport to Bhuj?

Bhuj Land Package covers ground services from Bhuj onward; we guide you on train/flight options separately.
