Is mobile allowed in Somnath?

Mobile phones are not allowed inside the main Somnath Temple complex for security and to maintain the sanctity of the sacred space. Visitors must deposit their phones in lockers provided at the entrance. Photography, video recording, and electronic gadgets are strictly prohibited inside the inner sanctum and temple premises. However, you can use phones in nearby areas, markets, and public spaces. It’s advisable to carry minimal belongings and follow all temple guidelines for a respectful visit.

Where to go first, Dwarka or Somnath?

It is generally recommended to visit Dwarka first, followed by Somnath, especially when planning a religious circuit. Dwarka is dedicated to Lord Krishna, while Somnath is one of the 12 Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva. This order aligns with traditional Hindu pilgrimage sequences - from Vaishnav (Krishna) to Shaiva (Shiva) sites. Logistically, if arriving from Rajkot or Jamnagar, Dwarka is closer and makes sense as the first stop. Then, proceed south to Somnath, possibly covering Porbandar on the way.

“Bhutan ..you beauty !!! My first travelling experience with JustWravel was great. Overall the Bhutan trip was wonderfully organised with interesting talk on the country and history. The itinerary was very well thought out, combining leisure time with other activities. Accomodation were good and the meals were decent as well. Also, met some great people on the trip. Our co-travellers were accomodating, helpful and thankfully had a great sense of humour. Special mention to Abhi, Trip Captain and Tashi, Tour guide for being so helpful and patient with us (specially me, during the hike). Kudos to the team. Keep doing great work and help people experience the joy of travelling.”

“I went on my first international trip through JustWravel to Maldives, and it was the amazing trip i ever had. Everything was so sorted that I just had to take care of my passport nothing else. Ankit (JustWravel) has helped me throughout the process and reminded me of all the necessary steps and documents to carry from 1 week before. Everything was well managed and they were very considerate. They kept checking in with us if we were having any issues and if we were back at home safely or not. Surely going to book next trip from JustWravel only 2) I went on leh Ladakh trip and it was my first trip with strangers. Everything was so organized and the people (especially the coordinator , captain and driver, hotel staff) were so great that I want to be with them again.It was just a fantastic experience which I will never be able to explain through words. But the team was focused on the motive that we should enjoy the trip and have good memories of it.”

“I recently went to Winter Spiti Valley trip with JustWravel which ended up being more as a trip with best friends. JustWravel had everything sorted for us be it transportation, safety, constant checkups, personalised care , accommodation, food and everything was super comfortable and amazing. Then it comes to the best part of this trip our trip captains - Abhishek and Ramneek He treated us like their own brother from day one and made sure all of us are having the time of our lives. They had constant checkups to ensure all of us are doing great physically. They had good knowledge about the place and shared the same with us as well. I would surely plan my next trip with JustWravel. I would like to mention an instance: I forgot my bag in the Volvo bus and there was nothing important in that bag but our captains still went out of their way to ensure that I got my bag safely.”

Gujarat Tour – Junagadh, Gir, Somnath, Dwarka & Ahmedabad (5N/6D)

Q: Which month is good for Gujarat?

November to February is considered the best period to visit Gujarat due to the pleasant winter climate, ideal for exploring heritage sites, beaches, and wildlife sanctuaries. This is also when major festivals like Rann Utsav, Navratri (if it falls late), and International Kite Festival take place. Sightseeing becomes more enjoyable without the discomfort of heat or humidity. Wildlife sightings in Gir are also more common during this time. Avoid visiting during monsoon and summer for a better travel experience.

Q: When to visit Somnath Temple?

The ideal time to visit Somnath Temple is between October and March, when the climate is cooler and more comfortable for exploring the temple complex and nearby attractions. Winter months also allow you to enjoy peaceful coastal walks and spiritual moments without heat exhaustion. The Kartik Purnima festival (around November) is an especially auspicious time to visit. While the temple is open year-round, avoiding the summer heat (April–June) and monsoon season (July–September) ensures a more pleasant pilgrimage experience.

Overview

What if your next trip wasn't just a vacation but a soulful story waiting to unfold? What if every day brought you closer to timeless temples, wild landscapes, and a culture that’s both grounding and grand?

Welcome to Gujarat- a land where the divine whispers through temple bells, lions roam free in ancient forests, and history lives on in every stone. This Gujarat itinerary for 6 days is crafted not just for sightseeing, but for experiencing. Whether you're chasing spiritual serenity, royal architecture, or untamed wilderness, this journey gives you all of it without ever feeling rushed.

The adventure begins in Ahmedabad, but the real magic starts as you drive towards Junagadh. Along the way, you can pause at Virpur to visit the revered Jalaram Bapa Mandir, where devotion flows as steadily as the visitors who come to seek blessings. In Junagadh, explore Mahabat Maqbara, an architectural marvel with stunning domes and minarets. Uparkot Fort invites you to step back in time with ancient caves, city views, and tales etched into its very walls.

Start your next morning with a spiritual climb, either via ropeway or trek to Girnar Hill, where Jain and Hindu temples sit atop quiet ridges, offering peace with a view. Then it’s on to Sasan Gir, home to the only wild Asiatic lions in the world. Whether you choose to go on a safari or simply relax at your jungle resort, nature surrounds you in its rawest, most peaceful form.

Somnath follows and here, the divine takes center stage. The Somnath Jyotirlinga Temple, one of Shiva’s twelve sacred abodes, is a spiritual powerhouse by the sea. Visit Bhalka Tirth, tied to the final moments of Lord Krishna’s earthly journey, and feel the energy at Triveni Sangam, where three rivers meet. Don’t miss the sunset at Somnath Beach or the mesmerizing Sound & Light Show; it’s history retold through music and light.

As the road winds on, Porbandar offers a brush with history. Walk through Kirti Mandir, the birthplace of Mahatma Gandhi, and feel the calm at Sudama Temple, where friendship and devotion take center stage. Then, step into Dwarka where devotion runs deep. Visit the majestic Dwarkadhish Temple, a place that pulses with spiritual rhythm and daily rituals that have continued for centuries.

The next day is devoted to discovering the holy sites around Dwarka. Nageshwar Jyotirlinga Temple is where Shiva’s energy is said to protect the coastal region. Gopi Talav, a quiet pond, brings Krishna’s playful past to life, and the Rukmini Temple adds a mythological twist to your itinerary. A ferry to Bet Dwarka takes you across the sea to the island believed to be Krishna’s former kingdom. Time slows down here and so does your mind.

On your final day, drive back to Ahmedabad, stopping optionally at Jamnagar. Here, Lakhota Lake and Bala Hanuman Temple offer a quiet farewell to Gujarat’s spiritual and cultural richness. Fun fact? The temple’s Ram Dhun chant has been going nonstop since 1964. Yes-nonstop.

This 6 days trip to Gujarat isn't just about covering places, it's about feeling places. It’s where your camera captures temples and tigers, but your heart takes home something more: peace, wonder, and stories you'll tell for years to come.

FAQs

Which time is best for Gujarat tour?

The best time to visit Gujarat is from October to February, when the weather is pleasant and ideal for sightseeing. During these winter months, temperatures range between 12°C to 29°C, making it comfortable to explore the Rann of Kutch, Gir National Park, Dwarka, Somnath, and other attractions. It’s also the season for festivals like the Rann Utsav, which showcases local culture, music, and crafts. Avoid the summer months due to extreme heat, especially in inland areas.

Is Gujarat expensive to visit?

Gujarat is generally a budget-friendly destination, suitable for all types of travelers. Accommodation ranges from budget guesthouses to luxury hotels, allowing flexibility. Local transportation, food, and entry fees are relatively economical. Meals at local restaurants are affordable, and public transport is widely available. However, visiting remote areas like the White Rann may slightly increase costs due to limited accommodation options. Overall, Gujarat offers value for money, especially if planned in advance during off-peak travel seasons. Customize your trip with JustWravel for a hassle-free booking process and a meticulously crafted itinerary at the best prices.

Avoid visiting during monsoon and summer for a better travel experience.

Which month is hottest in Gujarat?

May is typically the hottest month in Gujarat, with temperatures often exceeding 40°C (104°F), especially in inland areas like Ahmedabad, Bhuj, and Sasan Gir. The scorching heat can make travel uncomfortable and unsafe for extended outdoor activities. Coastal regions like Diu and Dwarka are slightly milder but still quite warm. It's advisable to avoid planning trips during this period unless absolutely necessary. If you must travel in May, ensure proper hydration, sun protection, and minimal daytime sightseeing.

When to visit Somnath Temple?

The ideal time to visit Somnath Temple is between October and March, when the climate is cooler and more comfortable for exploring the temple complex and nearby attractions. Winter months also allow you to enjoy peaceful coastal walks and spiritual moments without heat exhaustion. The Kartik Purnima festival (around November) is an especially auspicious time to visit. While the temple is open year-round, avoiding the summer heat (April–June) and monsoon season (July–September) ensures a more pleasant pilgrimage experience.
