Little Rann of Kutch Wildlife Sanctuary is one of India's most distinctive arid wildlife destinations, where saline flats, scrub, seasonal wetlands, and open visibility create a very different trip from the country's forest parks. It is strongest for travelers who want Indian wild ass, desert birds, cranes, and an unusual dry-country atmosphere.
