Heat, monsoon and the road to Dwarka
Seasonal notes for a Somnath taxi to Dwarka: 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. Dwarka is the long pilgrimage from the first Jyotirlinga to Dwarkadhish, usually with a night on the coast.
On a Dwarka day of about 235 km, leave the margin in the morning, not at the toll plaza in the afternoon. The coastal road via Porbandar is the one families actually use.
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.
