I and my family love to travel to places and explore areas that are on our bucket list. This time around, I was planning my family vacation when I came across an image of White Desert that floated around on my facebook page. The sunset view of the desert was so peculiar and breathtaking that I couldn’t stop myself from googling about the place and to know a bit more about the place. This is how I searched far and deep and ended up looking at all the marvelous places that Gujarat tour has to offer. This was it, Gujarat was my next travel destination and I was thrilled to share my plans with the family. That entire afternoon I couldn't make myself concentrate on work and was wondering about how to get to the place and what all exotic places I need to travel too.

The place has so much to offer including the great Rann Utsav, the new moon view and the sunset point that makes this place an ideal vacation spot not just with friends but with family as well. The heritage of the place can be easily seen in the local people which makes it a culture rich place.
