INDIA, September 19, 2019 (BBC Travel): Located roughly 62 miles from the Arabian Sea in the western state of Gujarat, a vast expanse of snow-white salt cakes a barren desert, creating a surreal series of saline mud flats that stretch north to India’s border with Pakistan. Known as the Rann of Kutch, this tortoise-shaped landmass is divided in 2 parts: the Great Rann, which covers 7 sq miles, and the Little Rann, which comprises more than 2 sq miles. Together, these blindingly white mudflats and tall grasslands form one of the world’s largest salt deserts and provide up to 75% of India’s salt harvest. Yet, for several months each summer, as the monsoon rains flood the Ranns, this land of parched white salt completely disappears.
