Gateway to Little Rann of Kutch, wild asses, and salt flats sunsets.
Dasada serves as the primary luxury gateway to the Indian Wild Ass Sanctuary in the Little Rann of Kutch—a vast 4,950-square-kilometer UNESCO biosphere reserve of cracked salt flats, desert islands (bets), and ephemeral wetlands. This extraordinary ecosystem is the world’s last remaining refuge of the endangered Indian Wild Ass (Equus hemionus khur), celebrated for its speed and sleek golden coat. Beyond these rare mammals, the region hosts vast wintering flocks of flamingos, pelicans, and desert raptors. Traveling to Dasada with Lotus of India pairs custom open-top 4×4 safaris and expert naturalists with serene eco-lodge accommodations.
