Somnath Dwarka Tour Package From Mumbai

Dwarka is about 950 km from Mumbai. Somnath is further still by the sensible route. That is 18 hours or more behind a wheel, across two states, and there is no version of it that leaves you fit for a 6:30 am aarti.

So the Mumbai question is not which road. It is which door you come in through, and that decision quietly picks which temple you see first.

The Saurashtra Mail, 22945, leaves Mumbai Central at 21:05 and reaches Dwarka at 13:10 the following day. It runs every day of the week. Roughly 16 hours, one night, about 960 km.

Sixteen hours sounds like a lot until you notice what it costs you, which is nothing. You board after dinner, you sleep, you wake up in Saurashtra. The hotel night you would have paid for is the berth you are lying in.

Then the arrival time does something better than fast. 13:10 puts you in Dwarka inside the temple's afternoon closure, which runs from about 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm. That sounds like bad luck. It is the whole point. You check in, eat, rest through the shut hours, and walk into Dwarkadhish when the gate reopens at 5:00 pm with the evening in front of you. A train that arrived at nine in the morning would only have given you four hours of waiting.

There is a detail here we like. The Mumbai passenger and the Ahmedabad passenger step onto the same platform at the same minute, because it is the same train. The Mumbai one boarded eight hours earlier and slept through the difference.

One ranking page for this search tells you there is no direct transport from Mumbai to Dwarka and routes you through Nadiad and two buses. There is. It leaves at 21:05, daily.

There is no airport at Dwarka and none at Somnath. You land somewhere else and drive in, and the somewhere else decides your itinerary.

Jamnagar is the closest airport to Dwarka, about 130 km out, which is a two and a half to three hour drive. Land here and you start at Dwarka, like the train does.

Porbandar sits about 133 km from Dwarka and is well placed for the coastal leg, since Kirti Mandir is in the town you land in.

Diu is the closest airport to Somnath, about 82 to 90 km away, an hour and a half to two hours by road. Land here and you run the circuit backwards, Somnath first and Dwarka last. Mumbai to Diu services are limited and do not fly every day, so this door opens on some dates and not others.

Tell us your flight and we will build the direction around it. That is the correct order of operations, and it is the opposite of how most package pages work.

Your journey from Mumbai is not in our price. Not the train, not the flight. We do not sell rail tickets and we would rather tell you that here than have you find out at the quote.

What you are buying starts the moment you arrive: the pickup at Dwarka station, Jamnagar airport or Diu, the hotel, the breakfast, and the vehicle with a driver for every leg of the circuit until we drop you back at your departure point.

From Ahmedabad or Rajkot our packages collect you from your front door. From Mumbai they collect you from a platform. The tier prices are the same either way, because they were never covering your travel to Gujarat in the first place.
