Be a witness to the colourful and vibrant Somnath Aarthi before retiring for the night. Overnight Stay at Somnath

After a relaxed breakfast at your hotel, head out to visit some of the most historic sites of Somnath. A visit to the Junagadh Gate will take you back centuries to the age of Afghan plunder. The Junagadh Gate is an entry point to the city of Somnath and was used by the Afghans during the numerous invasion of the shrine of Somnath. The Bhalka Tirtha is one of the most visited Hindu pilgrimage spots in India. It is said to be the spot where Lord Krishna rested after being fatally wounded by the arrow of a hunter. Before dinner, view the magnificent and enthralling Sound and Light show at the Somnath Temple. Overnight stay at Somnath
