Somnath Jyotirlinga Yatra

The Somnath Jyotirlinga Yatra from Ahmedabad is a deeply revered coastal pilgrimage centred on Somnath — the first among the twelve sacred jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva. Standing at Prabhas Patan on the shore of the Arabian Sea, Somnath is the eternal abode where the Moon God Chandra is said to have prayed to Lord Shiva and regained his radiance, giving the shrine its name — Somnath, the Lord of the Moon. Known as the "Shrine Eternal," it has been destroyed and rebuilt many times across the centuries, and the temple seen today — completed in 1951 in the Kailash Mahameru Prasad style through the initiative of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel — stands as a symbol of faith and resilience as much as of devotion. To stand before the Somnath jyotirlinga with the waves of the Arabian Sea breaking just beyond the temple walls is an experience few other shrines in India can offer. This 7-day package begins and ends at Ahmedabad and weaves together the great spiritual landmarks of the Saurashtra coast — Dwarka, the kingdom of Lord Krishna and one of the four sacred Dhams; Nageshwar, the tenth jyotirlinga, revered as the protector against all poisons; Bet Dwarka; Porbandar, the birthplace of Mahatma Gandhi and of Sudama; and finally Somnath itself, with two full nights for unhurried darshan, the grand evening Aarti, and the famous Light & Sound show. The journey also includes the wildlife sanctuary of Gir — the last natural home of the Asiatic lion — and the ancient hill town of Junagadh. Unlike the high-altitude Himalayan yatras, this circuit involves no trekking and is entirely road-based, making it ideal for families, senior citizens, and first-time pilgrims. Includes accommodation, breakfast & dinner, all road transfers, sightseeing, and 24×7 on-ground assistance.
