Important Travel Tips

  • Clothing: Carry light cottons for the coastal humidity of Diu and Dwarka, but bring sturdy footwear and neutral-colored clothing for the Gir safari.
  • Cultural Respect: Ensure modest attire when visiting the temples in Dwarka and Somnath; photography is often restricted inside the main sanctums.
  • Travel Time: Be prepared for 5–7 hours of driving on certain days, though the well-maintained Gujarat highways make for a smooth journey.
