Road trip to Somnath mahadev & Adri beach

One day, at the mid night in a street of Jamnagar, me and my friends Gaurav Purohit  Aum Shilu decide to go on a road trip to Somnath mahadev and next morning as soon as we woke up, we disappeared at 105kmph speed. 
We rode 525km in 12hrs, yes sound like a crazy but we aren’t.
We started our journey from Jamnagar to Junagadh on single track road, after having lunch at Junagadh, we took the junagadh-somnath NH8. That smooth and 4 track highway is perfect for the bike ride. So with the full fuel tanks we headed towards our destination and directly stopped at the holy place of the Aadi Jyotirling Shree Somnath mahadev temple.
The somnath temple is located in prabhas patan near veraval in saurashtra on the western coast of Gujarat,india, is the first among the twelve Jyotirling of Shiva. It is an important pilgrimage and tourist spot. The temple is considered sacred due to the various legends connected to it. Somnath means "Lord of the Soma", an epithet of Shiva.
Somnath Temple is known as "the Shrine Eternal". This legendary temple has been destroyed and rebuilt several times by Islamic kings and Hindu kings respectively. Most recently it was rebuilt in November 1947, when Vallabhbhai Patel visited the area for the integration of Junagadh and mooted a plan for restoration. After Patel's death, the rebuilding continued under Kanaiyalal Maneklal Munshi, another minister of the Government of India.
The temple is open daily from 6AM to 9PM. There are 3 aarti daily; in the morning at 07:00, at 12:00 and in the evening at 19:00.
After praying to shiva, taking the Prasad, exploring the temple and doing some photography we headed over to Aadri beach which is 15km away from Somnath at NH8. That is very peaceful, clean and beautiful place. After enjoying the beautiful sunset we started return journey to Jamnagar. Better be safe! As we don’t take risk of driving on Single track road at night, we took long route via-jetpur-from Rajkot.

The other day- Dev Bhoomi Dwarika....

Another Sunday another trip... And this time it was dwarka...  Yes Dev bhoomi Dwarika.. Dwarka is aprox 140 kms away from jamnagar this time we were 4 with two bikes, we left Jamnagar in the morning around 9 and with the average speed of 60 to 80 we reached dwarka on time (aprox 3 hours due to heavy traffic of reliance). First we visited the holy dwarkadhish temple and we took our lunch at hotel dwarkesh. And the food was not at all good. I mean I will never recommend this hotel to any of the tourist.   In the afternoon we went to the beach side and as usual our team has passed a great time with the photo shoot. There are several places near dwarka where one should go as those place are still unseen by many of the people. There is a small village named Shivrajpur is having pure blue and very clean beach and a light house over there where one can go. Shivrajpur is only 16 far from dwarka city. It is situated between mithapur and dwarka. The othe intere...
