Dwarka, Somnath, Sasan Gir and Vadodara — the towns where Shivalaya Darshanam puts you up and feeds you.
Our home city. Two hotels, two restaurants.
Dwarka is where the group is based. The Dwarika Hotel and Hotel Premji sit in the temple town so families are not exhausted before they reach the shrine — and so dinner is in-house when they return.
Stays: The Dwarika Hotel · Hotel Premji.
Jyotirlinga by the Arabian Sea — the second pillar of a Gujarat yatra.
Somnath sits on the water. We time arrivals for evening aarti when the light on the temple is at its most ceremonial, and we keep the stay unhurried so the next morning is not a scramble. Combined with Dwarka, this is the spine of most programmes we operate.
Stay: The Grand Astoria.
Gujarat’s pilgrimage four, composed as one journey rather than four disconnected tickets.
We specialise in the Char Dham circuit as it is walked in Gujarat — Dwarka and Somnath at the heart, with the remaining dhams sequenced so travel days do not swallow darshan days. Agents receive a single DMC programme; families receive a single companion on the road.
A pause between temples — the forest as rest, not as a separate holiday.
Many groups add Gir between Somnath and the return to the city. We treat it as a breath in the yatra: a night at The Bhagwati Resort, a safari only if the group wants it, never a forced add-on that steals a darshan morning.
The practical hinge for rail, air, and groups arriving from the rest of India.
Vadodara is where many circuits begin or end. Hotel The Pramukh gives the trade a reliable city address with the same house rules as the temple-town properties — useful when groups land late and leave early.
Stay in Dwarka at The Dwarika Hotel or Hotel Premji. Both are Shivalaya Darshanam houses in the temple town.
The Grand Astoria in Somnath is the group’s coastal address for Somnath aarti and the overnight after Dwarka.
Yes. The Bhagwati Resort in Sasan Gir is the forest rest between temple towns. Safari is optional, not a forced add-on.
Hotel The Pramukh near Vadodara is the city hinge for rail and air, with the same house rules as the temple-town hotels.
