 Rann Riders is family-owned and run. The owners
descend from Baktiar-ud-din who was given the 24 sq mile jagir (Indian
equivalent of a dukedom) of Dasada and its surrounding villages in return for
military services provided to the Sultan of Gujarat in the 15th century. He
was given the title of Malik Bakhan-1 and his successors continue to use Malik
as their title and now as their last name. The Maliks participated in the
siege of many forts and the battles of Kuva and Rankhundal in the 1400s and
1500s.
In keeping with the tradition of their
ancestors, the owners of Dasada assure visitors of undivided attention and the
hospitality of the Kathiawad region in which the property falls.
Surrounded by wetlands, Rann Riders is an
eco-friendly resort imaginatively designed using local materials to recreate
the appearance of a village. Accommodations are in cottages, resembling the
kooba houses of the Bajania community of Dasada and the bhunga houses of the
Rabaris of Kutch, decorated with mirrors, mud-plaster work and embroideries.
Accommodations :
Each of the cottages has an a/c twin-bedroom, with a comfortable cane bed, a
dry dressing area and a tiled bathroom with western-style toilet fittings and
hot-and-cold showers.
Food & beverages :
Rann Riders offers Continental and Indian cuisine that can be served on the
buffet table, preplated or camp-style around a fire. Tandoori food is a
specialty of the resort. On prior intimation, we serve Gujarati meals,
regional specialties of the Maliks of Dasada, Bengali meals and seafood.
For vegetarians, the Flamingo Restaurant has an extensive Indian, Chinese and
Continental ala carte menu.
