What is the best time to visit Somnath?

The ideal time is from October to March when the weather is pleasant. The Somnath temple looks especially beautiful during the evening aarti when the setting sun lights up its spire.

How much time should we spend at the Somnath Temple?

We allocate a full morning for the temple complex, which includes darshan, exploring the temple architecture, and visiting the museum. The queue for darshan can take 30-60 minutes depending on the crowd.

Is Diu worth visiting on a pilgrimage tour?

Diu adds a relaxing dimension to the pilgrimage. After the intense spiritual experience at Somnath, spending an evening at Nagoa Beach or exploring the Portuguese-era Diu Fort provides a nice change of pace.

What is the Somnath Light and Sound Show about?

The show narrates the 2000-year history of the Somnath Temple — its construction, destruction by invaders, and rebuilding. It is held in the temple complex in Hindi and Gujarati. The show timings vary by season.

Can we visit the Gir National Park on this tour?

Yes, we can add a half-day Gir safari on day 3 if you wish. The safari booking charges are extra. This would replace the Diu visit, or we can extend the tour to include both.
