Its was excellent experience of climbing the hills in night. Worth a visit once in life. On normal days, the dattatreya temple closes at 12 midnight and opens again in morning between 5 am and 5:30 am. On average a person in good health, travelling for first time, takes around 6 to 7 hrs to climb 10000 steps. One must start accordingly to reach temple when its open. On normal days the shops along the climbing path is generally closed by 9:00 pm and again start opening by 2 or 3 am in night. On Poornima days the temple is open through out night so no problem. The shops are also open through out the night. One must keep in mind that its not a easy climb. we must carry minimum luggage, water bottle must while travel. Night travel is better as compared to day travel for first timers. Once your reach the temple, we dont get prasad from temple , as in many other temples, but what ever we have pujari does the ritual and returns it back to us. carry some item with you if you want to carry it back as prasad /offerings. Climbing down is actually a pain and I dont mince the words, its actually a pain. knee pain starts. So it slows down the decent. have enough limewater intake to keep up the salt levels. Towards the end of decent, when still 400 odd steps are remaining , you can see some massage people to help you relieve some leg pain. Rs 50 for 5 to 7 mins massage, doesnt make much difference, but you can have an experience.

Definitely worth a visit when in Junagadh. Surrounded by beautiful landscaped gardens and facing Mount Girnar. Good for tourists but also for those who wish to learn about Indian Cultural, Architecture & Hinduism from the devotees/volunteers. You can refresh yourself at the Food Court within the Mandir grounds and absorb the tranquillity.

Ultimate Bliss. Bless are those who can visit Girnar Mountain and get Spiritual experience. I was lucky to attend Aarti at Bhagwan Neminath Derasar at 4 pm.Definitely should be on the bucket list of Spiritual Experience.It is once in lifetime experience made all the more possible now because of Ropeway by Gujarat Government and operated by Udan Khatola.

In a trip with family from Somnath to Dwaraka I saw this quiet beach about an hour or more from Somnath. It is right off the highway. It is a quiet uncluttered beach, which I saw at around 10.30 am. There hawkers with gaudily decorated camels who give a camel ride at around Rs.50 to Rs.100 per person. Walking along the beach is a worthy experience, even for a busy traveller who wants to rush to the next destination.
