Somnath Accomodation Guide

Choosing the right area affects walking distance, transport convenience, and comfort during darshan and aarti.

Somnath–Veraval Road Area

This is where most proper hotels in Somnath are located and is the most practical option for many visitors.

• Autos, taxis, buses, and rickshaws can drop visitors near the Somnath Temple parisar gate
• Walking distance from the drop point is usually short and manageable
• Better availability of hotels with lifts, room service, and organised facilities
• Suitable for families, senior citizens, and first-time visitors

This area offers a good balance between comfort and accessibility.

However, crowd density during peak hours and festivals can impact comfort, making timing and preparation very important for elderly visitors.

Near Somnath Temple / Parsiar Area

Accommodation close to the Somnath Temple parisar mainly consists of Shree Somnath Trust guest houses, along with a limited number of private   guest houses and small hotels.

• Suitable for pilgrims who prefer trust-run or simple accommodation
• Due to vehicle movement restrictions, private vehicles cannot reach very close to the temple, and some walking is required
• Facilities are generally simple and functional, focused on basic comfort
• Availability may be limited during festivals, weekends, and peak seasons

Best suited for devotees who specifically wish to stay in temple trust accommodation.

Veraval Town

Veraval town offers a range of accommodation options but requires daily travel to Somnath Temple.

• Generally Hotels in Veraval are little affordable compared to that in Somnath
• Suitable for longer stays or visitors with personal vehicles
• Daily commuting is required for darshan and aarti
• Less convenient if your visit is focused mainly on temple activities
