Pancha Dwaraka Tour from Ahmedabad
A 10 day Krishna pilgrimage through Gujarat from Ahmedabad: Dakor, Dwarka, Bet Dwarka, Nageshwar, Porbandar and Somnath. Hotels, an AC cab and darshan guidance are planned for you.
Pancha Dwaraka Tour from Ahmedabad Overview
Pancha Dwaraka is a pilgrimage circuit linked with Lord Krishna's Dwarka. Traditions differ on which five shrines make up the circuit, so we confirm the exact temples with you before booking. Our plan covers the main Krishna temples of Gujarat, including Dakor's Ranchhodraiji, Dwarkadhish at Dwarka, Bet Dwarka and Nageshwar, with Porbandar and Somnath on the same route.
The tour starts and ends at Ahmedabad. You travel by AC cab through Saurashtra, the western peninsula of Gujarat, with overnight halts at Rajkot, Dwarka, Porbandar, Somnath and Junagadh. Distances are long, so each day is planned with a comfortable pace and early starts for darshan.
Dwarka is one of the four Char Dham of India, Nageshwar is a Jyotirlinga and Somnath is the first of the twelve Jyotirlingas, so this trip suits pilgrims who want Vaishnav and Shaiv darshan in one circuit.
₹42,900 per person, twin sharing

Travel Tips and Guidelines
- Dress modestly. Dwarkadhish and Somnath have modest dress expectations. Cover shoulders and knees.
- Check temple timings. Temples close in the afternoon for a few hours. We plan around these breaks.
- Mobile and bag rules. Some temples restrict phones, cameras and large bags. Use lockers near the entrance.
- Start early. Morning darshan has shorter queues and cooler weather.
- Mind the heat. Saurashtra can be very hot from April to June. Carry water and a cap.
- Janmashtami crowd. Dwarka is extremely crowded around Janmashtami. Book early if you plan to attend.
- Keep a buffer. Cyclone or heavy rain can affect ferry or road schedules, so keep spare time.
This is a likely schedule. The tour manager may adjust it for weather, road conditions, temple timings or local rules. Extra stay caused by landslides, bad weather, road closures or flight cancellations is payable by the guest.
