Heat, monsoon and the road to Rajkot
Seasonal notes for a Somnath taxi to Rajkot: 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. Rajkot Hirasar is the usual airport for a Somnath trip. The city itself is a hub, not a temple town.
On a Rajkot day of about 190 km, leave the margin in the morning, not at the toll plaza in the afternoon. Share the flight number if you want the driver to watch a delay before leaving Somnath.
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.
