Seaside temples of Dwarka and Somnath Temples in Gujarat

Dwarka Somnath Temple Tour

The distance between Somnath and Dwarka is 236 KM, making it a good road trip idea as well. You can reach Somnath which is closely to somnath temple. Also has direct overnight train from Mumbai. If you prefer traveling by flight, you need to land in Rajkot and start a road trip from there.

Somnath dwarka is a very popular tourist destination and have plenty of good accomodation is available. The hotels in Dwarka and Somnath start price as low as Rs 800 per room. But the basic room are without amenities.

When you plan for somnath trip, you can clubbed it with Gir National Park, which is located around 70 KM from Somnath Temple. I would highly suggest to travellers to visit Gir National park with Somnath Temple. When you come somnath by road, from junagadh, you not feel good about somnath temple. Because roads are much dirty, both side road has dirty shops spots not feel good. but when you walk into the temple premises you will be welcomed by an impressive plush with interior design on the wall. A wall perimeter is built around the temple area. However, this wall wouldn’t block the bountiful views of the Arabian Sea. If possible, check the tide timings and visit Somnath temple when it’s high tide. The waters used to splash off the wall, showering droplets on you. However, now they have placed rocks to control the ocean’s force during high tide.

Same as Dwarka Somnath Temple Tour is also in proximity to the ocean. Apart from the excellent architecture and peaceful ambiance, Dwarka is stepped in the glorious history of Lord Krishna’s reign. The temple is called Dwarkadhish Temple, which means “Temple of Dwarka’s King”. According to Hindu Mythology, Lord Krishna spent his adult years here in Dwarka. While visiting Dwarka, you can also consider going to Bet Dwarka, an island which can be reached from Okha town by ferry. You can reach Okha from Dwarka by local bus and it would take around 1 Hour. During the ferry ride, your boat will be accompanied by fluttering seagulls, all the way till you reach Bet Dwarka. You can feed them as you enjoy your ride.

Before you reach Bet Dwarka, you can spend some time at Okha lighthouse, which offers a 360-degree view of surrounding landscapes. The bus doesn’t reach here and you might have to hire a private taxi.

What I loved the most about these two temples is the impeccable cleanliness maintained by their staff. Also, there is no VIP line here, and everyone has to go through the same line. Along with these impressive points, these sea-side temples offer not only peace of mind but splendid views as well.
