Near Somnath - you have Sasan Gir which is an hour's drive away. Ideally, you should take a jungle safari either in early morning or evening.
Places around Dwaraka - apart from the Rukmini Devi Mandir, you have Nageshwar Temple. Nageshwar is on the way to Bet Dwaraka, so you can cover it along with that. You can cover all places in Dwaraka and around in 1 day itself.

I would prefer to visit Sansan Gir (Only Asiatic Lion) forest. (Avoid Sat-Sunday) you will really enjoy specially in winter period.
Also you can think of Div (a beautiful beach) but avoid if you have time and traveling constrain.
Think of Marrine Life Sceantury near Dwarka, only kind of Scenatury in India)

Hi Folks,
Thanks for the information. I also wanted to know any good places to stay. I am looking at accomodations in the range of around 500-750 per day both at Somnath and at Dwarka.
Can you please suggest some good places to stay. The only precondition is that it should be in walkable distance to the Temples or near the sea in Dwarka.

Your first day is quite crowded. Harshad Mataji is where Lord Krishna and Mother Rukmini are supposed to have been married. Where Lord Krishna completed his avatara is Bhalka Tirth, very near Veraval. Perhaps you would also visit Chorwad, the Ambani home-town and sea beach, for which you have to take a small detour from Mangrol. All these places are on the Dwarika-Somnath route.

the best way to get to Ujjain from Somnath is by a train somnath-jabalpur express,the journey is a bit slow, almost 18 hrs. You can have a stay at Atlas Hotel, not a star ranker but neat and clean. Even near to the Mahakal Temple very near, just 50 mtrs before main gate of the enterance you could find a good place to stay with a neat and clean restaurant for good food. Usually you can attend the famous Bhasma aarti in the morn 0430 hrs, after prior permission through the temple administration, if not then through a general que, usually 300 persons are allowed to attend the aarti. Thereafter shringaar, bhog, eve arti and lastly shayan arti can be seen. lots of interesting places nearby within area of 20 kms. govt bus charges Rs 37 for ther trip. Mahakaal to Onkareswar where another Jyotislinga is there in Khandwa Distt is 160 kms far from Ujjain. it takes 6 hrs by pvt bus, and 4.5 hrs by taxi. Negotiate for taxi fares. omkareshwar is a nice place very peaceful and full of natural beauty. Darshan of two shrines there complete the trip. Omkareshwar and Mamleshwar. Don't forget to have a parikrama on the motor boat of the mini Omkar parvat there. more query if any pls feel to contact.
