Taking elders and children to Somnath from Somnath

A calmer family cab plan from Somnath to Somnath: seats, stops, and what to tell Madhuli Taxi before pickup.

Families do not fail the Somnath trip on the highway. They fail it in the last lane, with an elder who needed the car closer and a child who needed a stop an hour earlier. Somnath is the home desk. The Jyotirlinga, Triveni Ghat and Bhalka Tirth are close, and the lanes fill when the aarti starts.

Ask for the Ertiga when five or six of you are travelling. Put the person who gets carsick in the front, and say so in the note. Do not plan a tight train if the evening aarti is the reason you came.

Bhalka Tirth and the sangam are the two stops guests add after the mandir.

The Somnath driver can wait between gates. That is the point of a local desk. Send the hotel name and a mobile that someone in the car will actually answer.
