4-Day Gujarat Tour with Dwarka, Porbandar, Somnath & Junagadh Trip

Day 1: Rajkot to Dwarka Journey + Dwarka Sightseeing

Upon your arrival at the airport/railway station/location of your choice in Rajkot, you will be greeted by our driver who will take you to Dwarka in a private AC vehicle. The 4-hour-long drive will be comfortable and pleasant.

As you reach Dwarka, you will check into your hotel and then get ready for a sacred Dwarka Temple tour. Needless to say, the first place to visit will be the renowned Dwarkadhish Temple—a Hindu shrine dedicated to Lord Krishna. To reach the temple, you have to climb a 56-step staircase that begins from the edge of the Gomti River. The 56 steps are symbolic of the 56 kings who have ruled Dwarka.

Next, we will visit one of the 12 Jyotirlingas—the Nageshwar Jyotirlinga Temple, which is just 30 minutes away from the Dwarkadhish Temple. It is home to one of the 12 self-manifested Shivalingas and is, therefore, a revered pilgrimage site. After your visit to the divine temples ends, we will take you back to your hotel for a comfortable overnight stay.

Day 2: Dwarka and Beyt Dwarka Tour

As you wake up, treat yourself to a tasty complimentary breakfast and then head out with us to explore Devabhoomi Dwarka. First, we will be visiting the famous pilgrimage location, Beyt Dwarka, which is an hour’s distance from Dwarka. You will be driven to the Okha Port from where you will board a ferry to reach Beyt Dwarka. The small island is home to the eponymous temple dedicated to Lord Krishna.

After returning from the island, we will take you to other must-visit places in Gujarat, starting with the popular Rukmini Devi Temple dedicated to the wife of Lord Krishna. We will also take you to Gomti Ghat, a pilgrimage site where taking a dip is considered sacred; Bhadkeshwar Mahadev Temple—an ancient Shiva temple located on a serene hillock; Sudama Setu—a 166-meter-long bridge named after Krishna’s childhood friend; Swaminarayan Mandir—a relatively new temple known for its intricate designs and eye-catching architecture; and Gopi Talav—a pond highly significant for the Hindus as the gopis performed their final rasleela here with Lord Krishna.

After a fun day trip, we will drop you at your hotel in Dwarka where you can enjoy a good night’s sleep.

Day 3: Dwarka to Somnath Tour Via Porbandar

On day 3, you will enjoy your breakfast and then check out of the hotel. We will then go on a much-anticipated Dwarka–Somnath tour with a short halt at Porbandar after a drive of about 1.5 hours. In Porbandar, we will visit the Kirti Mandir—a small memorial shrine and museum dedicated to Mahatma Gandhi and his wife, Kasturba Gandhi. We will resume our journey to Somnath, which will take another 2.5 hours.

Upon reaching the divine city, we will take you on the Somnath Temple tour. One of the 12 Jyotirlingas, the Somnath Temple is yet another revered pilgrimage destination. The intricately carved edifice is a fine example of the Chalukya style of architecture. After a fulfilling spiritual tour, we will take you to your hotel in Somnath, where you will check in and retire for the night.

Day 4: Junagadh, Virpur & Gondal City Tour + Departure

On the last day of the tour, you will enjoy a delicious meal for breakfast and then check out of your hotel. While returning to Rajkot, we will stop by some famous tourist destinations. First, we will visit Junagadh, which is a 1.5-hour drive from Somnath. Here you can enjoy a scenic view of the Girnar Hills and visit a few temples, too.

Next, we will drive for another 1 hour and reach the Jalaram Bapa Temple at Virpur. The temple is dedicated to Saint Jalaram and is rather famous among pilgrims. After a drive of 30 minutes, we will arrive at Gondal. We will take you on a tour of famous places to visit in Gondal city, like the Swaminarayan Temple—a temple featuring amazing architecture; Naulakha Palace—the oldest surviving palace in Gondal, which is named after the price it cost during the time of its creation, i.e. 9 lacs; and the Royal Vintage and Classic Car Collection—a treasure trove of over 50 vintage cars!

After a thrilling last day, we will return to Rajkot and our driver will drop you at your hotel/airport. With this, the tour will come to a memorable end, and you can continue your onward journey.
