A calm day plan: Somnath and Dwarka by cab

A practical Madhuli Taxi day from Somnath toward Dwarka, with the order of stops and the moment to turn back.

Start with the thing that cannot move. If that thing is Somnath aarti, do it first. If it is a Gir slot or a Palitana step, the hotel wakeup moves instead. Dwarka is the long pilgrimage from the first Jyotirlinga to Dwarkadhish, usually with a night on the coast.

Then the road: about 235 km, about 5.5 hours. The coastal road via Porbandar is the one families actually use. Porbandar, Bet Dwarka jetty and Nageshwar are the three decisions to make before you leave.

Turn back when the return would steal the evening aarti or the night train at Veraval. A same-day return is a very long day. Most groups sleep in Dwarka.

Madhuli Taxi is based in Somnath. One car can hold this day if the enquiry says the order. The website will not show a rate. The confirmation comes back on WhatsApp.
