Heat, monsoon and the road to Ahmedabad
Seasonal notes for a Somnath taxi to Ahmedabad: summer starts, monsoon slack, and winter pilgrimage weeks.
Saurashtra changes the same road. Summer wants an early wheel. Monsoon wants slack for a slow truck. Winter pilgrimage weeks fill the Somnath hotels and the lane outside them. Ahmedabad to Somnath is a full highway day, kinder if you land the evening before and start in the morning.
On a Ahmedabad day of about 410 km, leave the margin in the morning, not at the toll plaza in the afternoon. One proper meal stop belongs in the plan. A night drive is possible and tiring.
An AC cab is the whole fleet, which matters from April onward. In the rains, do not stack a safari, a fort and an aarti into one unbroken hope.
Tell the desk the month, not only the date. A January Dwarka week and a July coastal week are not the same conversation.
