Tour Overview

Gujarat is one of India's most culturally and spiritually significant states. Home to two of the four Char Dhams — Dwarka and Somnath (one of the 12 Jyotirlingas) — it draws pilgrims from across the country every year. Our Dwarka Somnath Tour Package from Hyderabad covers these two sacred cities along with Gir National Park and Porbandar. You'll attend Aartis at ancient temples, take a ferry to Bet Dwarka Island, and explore the birthplace of Mahatma Gandhi along the way.

The ground tour starts and ends in Ahmedabad, which is connected to Hyderabad by direct daily flights (~1 hr 45 min). Flights are booked separately — our team can assist at the time of booking. This tour is suitable for families, senior citizens, and first-time Gujarat pilgrims.

Why This Package Is Popular Among Hyderabad Travellers

Among Indian cities, Hyderabad has one of the largest concentrations of families planning Jyotirlinga pilgrimages each year — and Gujarat covers two Jyotirlingas (Somnath and Nageshwar) in one trip. Here's why this specific tour works well for travellers from Hyderabad:

Direct daily flights from Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (HYD) to Ahmedabad (AMD) — 1 hr 45 min, multiple airlines
Gujarat is a fully vegetarian-friendly destination — no adjustment needed for food preferences
Both Somnath and Nageshwar are Jyotirlingas — completes 2 of the 12 in one trip
Gir National Park (Asiatic Lions) and Bet Dwarka ferry ride add variety beyond temple visits

About the Key Temples

Somnath Temple — First Jyotirlinga

Somnath Temple stands directly on the Arabian Sea coast in Saurashtra. Traditionally regarded as the first among the 12 Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva, it has been destroyed and rebuilt multiple times through history. The present structure was rebuilt in the Chalukya style in 1951 under Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel's guidance. Its position on the sea — with the open ocean behind the western face of the temple — gives it a setting no other Jyotirlinga shares.

Dwarkadhish Temple — One of the Four Char Dhams

The Dwarkadhish Temple (also known as Jagat Mandir) is dedicated to Lord Krishna, worshipped here as Dwarkadhish. It is one of the four sacred Char Dham pilgrimage sites. The current stone structure dates from the 15th–16th century. The Nij Shikhara (main spire) rises to approximately 78.3 metres and is topped with a large flag changed five times daily. 72 intricately carved pillars support the structure. Official: dwarkadhish.org

Nageshwar Jyotirlinga — Lord of Serpents

One of the 12 Jyotirlingas, located ~17 km from Dwarka on the Dwarka–Okha road. The presiding deity is Lord Shiva as Nageshwar — the Lord of Serpents. A 25-metre statue of Lord Shiva stands in the temple garden (confirmed by Government of Gujarat's official Devbhumi Dwarka portal). Jyotirlinga is in an underground sanctum. Open 5:30 AM - 9:00 PM.
