Hi Suvajit, I am planning for January (during the full moon). Also what I have found after a bit of research in the internet is that the Rann Utsav is very over-hyped, kudos to their excellent PR. The tent city of Dhordo is so overcrowded during this time that you won't enjoy the calmness and serenity and even the 'rann' is not white there anymore. If you are on a stringent budget, I suggest you to make Bhuj as your base and do day-trips from Bhuj to Mandvi, Kalo Dungar (the highest peak in Rann of Kutch) and Dholavira. However, if you want to experience the traditional festival and get that vibe, do stay in the tent city of Dhordo and I am sure you will definitely have a different experience!

If you are an adventure lover with lots of trekking experience and want to take your trekking to the next level of difficulty then Chadar Frozen River Trek is the place for you. Chadar Frozen River (11,123 ft) is located in Ladakh, Jammu and Kashmir. Trekking to Chadar Frozen River requires full nine days and for trekking first day you need to come to Leh by flight. You will feel very cold once you reach Leh as the temperature there would be around -10 to -15. The second day you will move further towards Chilling through a 3hours drive. While driving to Chilling you will go through Pishu village of Zanskar. Once you reach Chilling, from there you will get to walk over frozen river ice. Walking on the frozen ice will turn out to be the most exciting as well as toughest thing in the trek. After walking for 1hour you will reach Tilak: the campsite for today. The next day you move towards the Gyalpo camp. The morning walk on the frozen ice will make you feel like you are walking inside a freezer. Although all your body will be covered with heavy woolens still the coldness out there can be felt on your face. By the sound that the chadar makes you will be able to recognize where the snow is thick and where it is thin. The sound of the chadar changes with the thickness of chadar. Moving further you will go through Chadar Gate. trek essentials:- Back pack & rain cover(50 - 60 ltr) with comfortable shoulder strapsDay pack + rain cover20 - 30 ltr (If hire a mule or porter)Walking stickAdvisable (At least one)Head torch1 Nos.Water bottle/Hydration pack2 bottles of one litre eachPeople who use hydration pack1 hydration pack and 1 bottle of one literCarry at least one thermos flaskSnacksEnergy bars, dry fruits, electral/orsPersonal Medical KitConsult your doctor

Hi Neelam, Rann utsav is the peak time for tourists in Rann of Kutch and lots and lots of tourists visit around that time so the prices are actually higher than usual during that time, there is not other way to do this trip without spending bucks. However you can take you tents if you want to save on accomodation and stay in your tents after asking from the authorities or in hotel premises after paying them some amount.
Hey fellow traveller, I have redeemed credits from tripoto and the experience was ok not too good not too bad either it's depend on the place and your timing I booked a trip to prashar trek in 800 credits but it's not worth it. don't attract with the catchy title of the trips itinerary the reality is totally different if you want to know about more on credit redemption dm me.
You can tell your choice if you want to have street food or in some 5 star restaurant and also depends on what do you want to eat like North Indian,South Indian,Chinese,or Italian
Hey Amir, October to February is peak season of tourists in Rajasthan. So obviously rates of everything will be little high. If you are travelling with your family then prebooking a hotel is best. But if you are alone or with your friends then you can book a hotel after going there. You will get hotels (not so classy) at low rates. You can also google for the Guruduwaras or Dharmshalas there.
Hey Akash, As you will reach Manali bus stand there will be number of persons who will ask you for the hotels. They will show you no of hotels ranging from Rs300-1000 near Mall road (main area of Manali). Or you can prebook with MMT or OYO.
Hi Dhruval, since you are going on a trekking packages, there isn't much you can do on your own. There must be a fixed itinerary given to you by the organiser you will be following that itinerary only. Sandakphu is a beautiful trek you will witness some of the most beautiful landscapes on thsi trek, it will be all white, covered in snow and you can visit view Kanchenjunga.
Ujjain is an ancient holy town dedicated to lord shiva called as 'mahakal' in ujjain. place is charming in its own way like varanasi. I bet you will definitely enjoy the evening aarati and temple hopping.
Hey Soumyajett, In December you can get snowfall in north and northeast India like 1)Manali 2)Shimla 3)Gangtok 4)Tawang (Arunachal Pradesh) 5)Mussorrie If you are living near Delhi then go to Mussorie (Uttrakhand).If near Chandigarh go to Manali.
If near Siliguri then go to Gangtok.
