Frequently asked questions detailing tent check-in times, desert permits, travel logistics, and Jain food availability.
Tickets & Booking
The 2026–27 season runs from 1st November 2026 to 7th March 2027, with peak full-moon weekends around late November, late December, late January, and mid-February. See our Special Dates calendar for the exact list.
Advance booking is strongly recommended, especially for full-moon weekends and the Christmas–New Year period, which sell out weeks ahead. Walk-in tent availability, when it exists, cannot be guaranteed.
Day-visitor entry to the White Rann viewing area is possible, but the cultural amphitheatre, craft bazaar, and evening programming are part of the Tent City experience and best accessed by guests staying on-site.
No, but our shortest package is 1 Night / 2 Days. Most guests find 2 Nights / 3 Days gives enough time to see both a sunrise and sunset on the Rann plus a day of sightseeing.
Accommodation
Classic Tents suit budget-conscious travellers who want to be close to the action. Deluxe Tents are the most-booked mid-range option, and Premium Suite Tents suit those wanting a private deck and butler service. Full comparison on our Tent City page.
