About this species

The Indian Wild Ass or Khur is found exclusively in the Little Rann of Kutch in Gujarat — one of India's most extraordinary landscapes. The salt desert transforms into a sea of life during the monsoon, and the wild ass herds move freely across hundreds of kilometres of white saline flats. The Rann offers unique, open-terrain wildlife watching. See Indian Wild Ass (Khur) in the Rann of Kutch. Gujarat's salt desert icon — safari guides, best seasons, and unique landscape photography.
