Best Time to Visit Somnath
The best time to visit Somnath is October to March, when the coastal weather is pleasant for darshan, the seafront and the evening light-and-sound show. Summers (April to June) are hot and humid, and the monsoon brings rain but keeps crowds lighter. Maha Shivratri is the biggest festival draw.
