Total budget
A 5-day Dwarka–Somnath trip costs an estimated ₹10,000–₹20,000 per person including travel inside Gujarat.
- Train to Dwarka (3AC from Ahmedabad): ₹600–₹1,000
- Dwarka–Somnath taxi: ₹4,000–₹6,000 one way
- Gujarat ST bus: ₹300–₹500
Temples to cover
Plan two days in Dwarka and one in Somnath.
- Dwarkadhish Temple
- Bet Dwarka (ferry ~₹100)
- Nageshwar Jyotirlinga
- Rukmini Temple
- Somnath Jyotirlinga & light show
Stay & food
Dharamshalas from ₹500; hotels ₹1,500–₹3,500 a night. Gujarati thalis cost ₹150–₹300.
Extra stop
Shivrajpur blue-flag beach near Dwarka is great for an evening. Visit October to March. All prices are estimated.
Dwarka Somnath trip cost for couples, families and groups
A couple on a 5-day Dwarka–Somnath tour pays roughly twice the per-person estimate, a little less because rooms and the Dwarka–Somnath taxi are shared. The taxi between the two temple towns is the biggest single local cost, so a family or group of four sharing one car pays far less per head than a solo traveller.
Many families add Bet Dwarka, Nageshwar Jyotirlinga, Porbandar or Gir to the Dwarka Somnath trip plan. Each stop adds fuel or bus fares and possibly one more night, so build your full Gujarat route in TripSahay to see one Estimated total.
Cheapest time to visit Dwarka and Somnath and how to save
October to March is the best time for a Dwarka and Somnath trip. Janmashtami in Dwarka, Maha Shivratri and Shravan month at Somnath bring heavy crowds and higher dharamshala and hotel rates, so book early or avoid those dates if cost matters.
Save by using Gujarat ST buses between towns, staying in temple trust guest houses or dharamshalas, eating Gujarati thalis, and booking 3AC trains to Dwarka or Veraval early.
