Tips

To extend the trip, consider adding an extra day in Dwarka to explore the nearby Gopi Talav and enjoy a beachside sunset cruise. If you need to shorten the itinerary, you can skip the Bet Dwarka island visit and allocate that time to a quicker return from Somnath, reducing travel fatigue while still covering the main pilgrimage sites.
