From Rajkot, Dwarka and Somnath are each a few hours' drive, so a Saurashtra family or satsang group can do the pair without the long run from Ahmedabad. The coastal highway through Porbandar joins the two temple towns.
Four days give elders time for Bet Dwarka and the Nageshwar Jyotirlinga, and an evening in Somnath. A younger group that starts early can fold the second day into the first and finish in three.
