Trains Between Dwarka and Veraval
Dwarka and Veraval (the railhead for Somnath, about 7 km away) both sit on the Western Railway, and some trains connect them, though services are limited and often routed via Rajkot or Jamnagar rather than a short coastal hop. Many pilgrims cover the roughly 230 km by road instead. Confirm the current timetable, as schedules change.
