India's Top 5 Natural Wonders


#3. Chir Batti at the Rann of Kutch
5 n

The Rann of Kutch, also known as the Great Rann of Kutch is a remarkable place to visit in Gujarat. It's the world's largest salt desert, measuring over 16,000 square kilometers.At night, an unexplained phenomena known locally as Chir Batti (ghost light) occurs in the Rann. Chir Batti can be described as unexplained bright lights occurring on dark nights in colours that change from blue to red to yellow. The lights often resemble a moving sphere or pear shaped blob of fire which may move fast or stop and stay stationary. They say the lights can only be seen after 8pm on dark nights and are known to be harmless. A traveller's dream, it looks even more fantastic as the sun sets on the arid landscape.
