Travelling

This will be a day wise series of the Gujarat Trip planned in the month of December.  The days will then be merged for the final blog. Day 5 Dwarka - Somnath The day started much earlier at 2am. We got ready and checked out of our accomodation by 3:25am. The first destination was Girnar which was a 4 hours' smooth drive. The mountain is at an altitude of 3672ft comprising of 10k steps from the base. The ropeway covers the initial 5k steps reaching mata Ambaji temple. Further up is the Gorakhnath temple and then the next peak is gurudev Datt mandir. It is all stairs to navigate through. Took us around 2.5 hours to cover the 3 peaks. Neminath temple is 1200 steps below the ropeway point but I chose to skip it. The ropeway charges 700INR both ways for adults and half the price for kids below 110cm. The ropeway is very well managed and even during peak hours, the waiting time wasn't high. The ropeway takes 7-8 mins each side. Darshan at dattatreya temple was just amazin...
