Dwarka Somnath Tour by Taxi — 4 Night / 5 Day Itinerary

The Dwarka–Somnath circuit is the most-booked pilgrimage trip in Gujarat, taking in two of the twelve Jyotirlingas and one of the four Char Dham sites. Five days is the comfortable version; it can be compressed into three if you are willing to spend most of them in the car. The whole route is about 1,350 km from Ahmedabad and back, which is why booking one vehicle for the full itinerary works out considerably cheaper than arranging each leg.

A suggested itinerary, not a fixed package. Partners quote whatever route you post, so adding a night, swapping a stop or starting from a different city changes the quote rather than requiring a different booking.

Vehicle cost for the full 5 days

VehicleSeatsEstimate for the whole trip
AC Hatchback 4 ₹12,200 – ₹14,900
AC Sedan 4 ₹14,900 – ₹17,600
AC SUV 6 ₹18,900 – ₹23,000
Innova / Crysta 7 ₹24,300 – ₹28,400
Tempo Traveller 17 ₹31,100 – ₹36,500

This is the cost of the VEHICLE, not a per-person package, and it does not include accommodation. Package operators quote this trip at roughly ₹10,500 to ₹18,000 per person, which includes hotels and meals. The figures here are for the VEHICLE ONLY across the whole itinerary — four people sharing a sedan works out well below a per-person package, but you arrange your own stay. Figures are calculated from typical per-kilometre rates over roughly 1,350 km and exclude toll, state permit, parking, driver allowance and night halt charges.

Why book a tour as one trip

Booking each leg separately looks flexible and costs more. Every individual booking carries its own empty-return leg, and a driver who does not know the next day's plan cannot help you optimise it. One partner running the whole itinerary prices it as a single trip, which comes out lower per kilometre, and you deal with the same person throughout.

Post the full plan when you request quotes — dates, number of passengers, and the stops that matter to you. Partners who run this circuit regularly will often suggest a better ordering than the one you started with.

Dwarka Somnath Tour — frequently asked questions

How many days do I need for a Dwarka Somnath tour?Five days is comfortable and lets you see both sites properly with the evening aartis. Four works if you skip Porbandar. Three is possible but you will spend most of it travelling, since the loop is around 1,350 km.
Is Bet Dwarka included?It is in this itinerary, on day 3. Bet Dwarka needs a ferry from Okha, about 30 km past Dwarka, so mention it when posting the trip — the drive to the jetty and the waiting time both need to be in the quote.
Does the cab cost include hotels?No. Bhade Gadi Setu is a transport marketplace — partners provide the vehicle and driver, and you book your own accommodation. That is why the figures here are lower than a packaged per-person price.
What is the best time for this trip?October to March, when Saurashtra is pleasant and dry. Avoid the peak summer months; the coastal stretches are uncomfortable and the driving days are long.
Can I start from Rajkot instead of Ahmedabad?Yes, and it shortens the loop by roughly 400 km. Rajkot is the closer base for the whole Saurashtra circuit, so if you can reach Rajkot independently the vehicle cost drops noticeably.
