Temple timing and a taxi to Ahmedabad

Temple time is not road time. Ahmedabad to Somnath is a full highway day, kinder if you land the evening before and start in the morning. People remember the aarti and forget the walk from the car park to the gate.

For Ahmedabad, start from the moment you need to be present, then work backward by about 8 hours. Say which terminal and the flight number. A vague 'Ahmedabad' pickup wastes the first hour.

The airport and the Sabarmati side of the city are the two pickup zones we hear most.

Madhuli’s enquiry asks for a pickup time. Use the time the car should be at the hotel, not the time of the aarti itself. The driver still needs the lane, the bags and a headcount.
