I am sure everyone must have heard about this place as it is known as one of the four abodes of India according to Hinduism. I am living in gujarat and dwarka is just 130kms away from my city, so i have visited dwarka many times. As a tourist destination dwarka is still developing beautifully. It took only 2 days to visit dwarka and the nearby places like Shivrajpur beach, Nageshwar jyotirlnga temple and Beyt Dwarka.
We can easily reach Dwarka by bus or train. I always prefer the train as it is the cheapest and fastest way to get there. It took only half a day to visit the Dwarkadhish Mandir (Jagat mandir). Apart from the temple there is a beach on the other side of river Gomti, to go there we have to cross the Sudama Setu bridge to pay INR 10 only. And there is also a sunset view point on the bank towards the temple side.
After sightseeing around Dwarkadhish temple we went to see Shivrajpur beach which is just 11 km from Dwarka. We can reach there by road only, for that if we don't have our own vehicle then there are taxis and auto rickshaws available. They charge INR 30 to 50 per person. Shivrajpur Beach is a beautiful beach, it gets a little crowded on weekends and is still developing. There are some water sports activities to do. Apart from that we can enjoy the beach vibes and beautiful sunset there.
Next day we went to Okha Jetty from where we reached Bet Dwarka by boat. Beyt is an island, it takes only 10 minutes and INR 30/- per person only. There are several temples dedicated to Lord Krishna and his family. Temples are closed from 12 to 4 pm. So choose morning or evening time to visit the beyt. We visited Beyt in the morning and by afternoon we covered most of the sites at Beyt like Dwarka Temple, Dandi Hanuman and Soneki Nagri Dwarka Dham.
Soneki nagari dwarka dham is a newly built temple which is dedicated to lord krishna's life. they charged INR 40/- per person to see the temple.
After beyt we went to the Nageswara temple, Which is included in 12 Jyotirlingas. It is a devine place. Statue of lord shiva is the main attraction.
Apart from this there are many places that you can visit such as Okhamadhi Beach, Dolphin Watching Camp in Winter Beyt, Rukshmani Temple, Sunset Point at Bhadkeshwar Temple, Momai Dham Mulvel etc.
Dwarka is a place where you can spend your weekend or vacation if you want to travel in small budget. Only 2 days are enough to travel to Dwarka. And anyone can travel within a budget of INR 3000/-, and it depends on how you spend your money and from where you are coming to in Dwarka. and it is safe to travel solo and for women too.
Thankyou for reading this...
Have a happy travel.
