The
Gujarat government has also set up tourist accommodations,
the Toran Rann Resort, opposite the army checkpoint near the entrance to
the salt desert. This resort is closest to the salt desert, although
the location is not particularly scenic. Expect to pay around 8,000 to
11,000 rupees for an air conditioned double bed, per person per night
with meals included.
- Another recommended option is the Shaam-e-Sarhad (Sunset at the Border) Village Resort in Hodka. The resort is owned and managed by the local residents. You can choose to stay in tents (4,200 rupees per night for a double) or traditional Bhungas (5,800 rupees per night for a double), and both have attached bathrooms and running water. Visits to local artist villages are a highlight.
