It is a widely known fact that Lord Shiva had manifested himself in the form of a Shiva Linga during the night of Aridra Nakshatra.
Read MoreTravellers planning a spiritual trip to Gujarat often start with the Ahmedabad Dwarka weekend tour. In 3 days and 2 nights, it takes you from Ahmedabad to Dwarka, the city of Lord Krishna, with Darshan at Dwarkadhish Temple, Nageshwar Jyotirlinga, Bet Dwarka and Rukmini Temple. On the way you stop at the Bala Hanuman Temple in Jamnagar.
You travel in a private car with a driver, and two nights in Dwarka give you time for both the evening and the morning Aarti at Dwarkadhish. Along the route you can also try Gujarati food such as Dhokla, khandvi and a full Gujarati Thali.
So, simply put, this 3 Days / 2 Nights trip suits devotees as well as travellers who want to see the Saurashtra coast in a short break. Keep in mind that Ahmedabad to Dwarka is a long drive, so Day 1 and Day 3 start early.
Oct · Nov · Dec · Jan · Feb · Mar
October to March is the most comfortable time for early Aarti visits and long drives. April to June is very hot, with afternoon temperatures that can reach about 42°C. Janmashtami (August or September) brings large crowds and higher hotel rates, so book early for those dates.
Ahmedabad to Dwarka is about 440 to 465 km by road, through Rajkot and Jamnagar. The drive takes 8 to 9 hours, or 9 to 10 hours with stops.

|---|---|---|
| Ahmedabad → Jamnagar | 305–320 km | 5.5–6 hrs |
| Jamnagar → Dwarka | 140 km | 2.5–3 hrs |

| Dwarka → Bet Dwarka (via Okha and Sudarshan Setu) | 30–35 km | 45–60 min |
| Dwarkadhish Temple → Rukmini Temple | 2 km | 5–10 min |

Your driver will pick you up from the agreed location in Ahmedabad early on Day 1. From here you head straight for Dwarka with one stop on the way: Jamnagar, roughly 305 to 320 km and 5.5 to 6 hours from Ahmedabad.
Jamnagar is one of those destinations that any traveller to Gujarat should not miss. This is where you will find the Bala Hanuman Temple on Lakhota Lake, famed for its round-the-clock Ram Dhun, which has been going on since 1 August 1964. The unbroken chant has earned this temple a place in the Guinness Book of World Records.
Bala Hanuman Temple is a spiritual haven for devotees of Lord Rama and Hanuman, so it is a natural first stop on this tour.
After checking in and resting, you can head out for Darshan at Dwarkadhish Temple and attend the evening (Sandhya) Aarti, usually around 7:30 PM. Please note: evening Darshan is subject to the day's arrival time, traffic and the temple's current schedule, so this is planned rather than guaranteed. The temple is a five-storey structure on 72 pillars with a tall limestone and sandstone Shikhara. You return to the hotel for the night after Darshan.
On the second day of your trip, you will set out early for another visit to Dwarkadhish Temple and join the morning (Mangla) Aarti at 6:30 AM. After that, you will return to the hotel for a hearty breakfast.
Next, you will drive to Bet Dwarka via Okha. Since February 2024, Sudarshan Setu, a 2.32 km bridge, has connected Okha to the island by road, so you no longer depend on the boat from the jetty.
Bet Dwarka is around 30 km from Dwarka city and is a place full of legends. Tradition holds that Lord Krishna resided here during his rule over Dwarka. Another legend says this is where the demon Shankhasura was destroyed, which is why the island is also called Shankhodhar.
After touring Bet Dwarka, you will be on your way back to Dwarka. En route, you will stop at Nageshwar Jyotirlinga, about 18 km from Dwarka, a revered Shiva temple and one of the twelve Jyotirlingas in India. Gopi Talav, a sacred pond about 5 km from Nageshwar, is on the same road. After offering your prayers, you will return to the hotel for the night.
Meals: breakfast.
After breakfast on Day 3 you check out and, time permitting, stop at the Rukmini Temple on your way out, about 2 km from Dwarkadhish Temple. Per Gujarat Tourism the temple opens around 7:30 AM, so plan the visit after breakfast. From Dwarka you then drive back to Ahmedabad, roughly 8 to 9 hours by road.
The return drive is long. Arrival in Ahmedabad is usually in the evening and depends on departure time, rest stops and traffic. Please avoid tightly scheduled onward flights or trains on Day 3; book onward travel with a comfortable buffer.
Meals: breakfast.
