Tips

If you have extra days, consider extending your stay in Dwarka to explore the Somnath‑Dwarka Coastal Trail or adding a day at the Rann of Kutch for a full sunrise‑sunset experience. Conversely, you can shorten the trip to four days by skipping the market visit in Sarangpur and the Patan workshop, focusing only on the major temples and the Statue of Unity.
