Practical notes & tips

1. Train booking: Howrah–Ahmedabad trains take ~33–38 hours depending on the service — pick an AC sleeper/AC 3-tier for comfort. Confirm exact train & schedule and book early.

2. (Ahmedabad→Bhuj, Bhuj→Dwarka, Saurashtra to Vadodara). Prepare for early starts and plan rest stops. Distances I used are from recent routing data (examples: Ahmedabad→Bhuj ~330–370 km; Bhuj→Dhordo ~80–90 km; Dwarka→Vadodara ~450–520 km).

3. Rann of Kutch: Best time for the saline white plain & sunset is late afternoon — arrange city transfers or return to Bhuj same evening

4. Gir safaris: Reserve jeep/jeep+permit well ahead (government portal or authorized tour operators). Morning and evening slots exist — morning is recommended. Gir is ~65–70 km from Somnath by road.

5. Nageshwar: Nageshwar Jyotirlinga is about 15–18 km from Dwarka — easy half-day trip.

6. Statue of Unity: Kevadiya (Statue) is ~86–90 km from Vadodara (perfect day trip). Buy timed-entry tickets for viewing gallery early if you want to go up.
