Rann Utsav is one of the most eagerly-awaited tourism events of India, which celebrates the marvels of nature at the White Desert and the rich cultural and artistic heritage of Kutch. The concept of Rann Utsav was envisioned by Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, the then Chief Minister of Gujarat.

The best time to visit Kutch is during its pleasant winter season. The winter begins in October and ends in February. While temperatures can fall as low as 2 degree Celsius, the weather is usually extremely pleasing and moderate, ranging between 12 and 25 degree Celsius.
it is completely safe.. Go without any 2nd thoughts. If You haveNo money problem;then best is book with the Rann Utsav (Festival going to start from Nov 1);it is expensive.
