Having spent considerable time in the other wildlife parks of Gujarat, Sasan Gir and Velavadar, it was time to check out the Little Rann of Kutch. There were only 2 viable options here, the other one being the Rann Riders. Overall, pretty happy with our choice given the price and the good hospitality.
The camp is located a fair distance from the entrance to the LRK gate (Basically, the place where you get entry formalities done from as the Rann has no defined boundaries). They have very knowledgeable drivers and will work hard to get you to the subjects you have in mind (Bustards, Raptors, Fox etc.)
Food was strictly ok, usually bland to suit a universal palate I guess. Breakfast was the best meal as it was prepared to order and the staff was attentive. Did not enjoy sleeping on the coir beds as they were kinda saggy and created a depression around the lower back area. Have slept on my fair share of coir beds to know that these were not good.
The highlight of your visit would be a chat or many with Dhanraj Malik, a gentleman with a large heart who runs a local school and (i think) widows rehabilitation center. He is the guy to tell you all about the Rann and life in these parts.
