Somnath Local Cab Service For Temple Darshan And Sightseeing Tours
Somnath is a city where every traveller's main purpose is to have darshan of the Jyotirlinga, but there are several other important places around the temple worth visiting. A local cab service makes this entire experience easy, because you do not need to look for public transport, wait around, or keep switching between multiple auto rickshaws. A single vehicle and a single driver stay with you throughout the day, keeping the journey comfortable and organised.
RealRental Cabs' local cab service is available in hourly packages, so you can choose the duration according to your needs. A smaller package is best for those who only want to see the temple and a couple of nearby places, while a larger package suits those who want to explore Somnath and its nearby areas for the whole day.
What The Local Package Includes
The standard local package starts from 4 hours and 40 kilometres, and can be extended to 8 hours and 80 kilometres, or up to 12 hours and 120 kilometres for the full day, as needed. The vehicle, driver, and fuel are all included within this package. If you use more kilometres or time than the package limit, an extra charge of 12 to 18 rupees per kilometre applies, depending on the vehicle type. A separate night surcharge of 100 to 200 rupees applies for use between 11 PM and 6 AM. All these rates are clearly communicated at the time of booking, there is no hidden cost, and an advance payment of 15 to 20 percent is taken for confirmation.
Local Sightseeing Spots In Somnath
Somnath Jyotirlinga Temple is the most important stop, where the aarti takes place three times, in the morning, afternoon, and evening. Next is Triveni Sangam, where three rivers named Hiran, Kapila, and Saraswati meet, and this place is also considered quite important religiously.
Bhalka Tirth is only 5 kilometres from the temple, and according to mythological stories, this is the place where Lord Krishna was struck by an arrow. Somnath Beach is the best place in the evening, where many people go to watch the sunset. If you are interested in history, Prabhas Patan Museum can also be covered, where you can see Somnath's ancient remains and artifacts.
Who The Local Cab Is Right For
For solo pilgrims who have come only for darshan, a small 4 hour package is enough. For families who want to explore the whole of Somnath in a day, an 8 hour package is more suitable. A local cab is especially useful for senior citizens, since they do not need to keep switching transport, and a single driver takes care of them throughout the day.
Vehicle Options For The Local Package
For small groups or solo travellers, Swift Dzire is the most convenient, since it manoeuvres easily through the narrow roads around the temple. For family groups, Ertiga cab is more comfortable, offering extra space.
If you want to book a vehicle for the whole day with more flexibility, without being tied to an exact kilometre limit, you can also check our one day car rental option, which is designed for the full day.
Night Charges And Timing
The local package is normally designed for daytime use, but if you need the vehicle after 11 PM as well, night charges may apply. These charges are clearly communicated at the time of booking, so there is no confusion. Somnath's evening aarti timing is 7 PM, so most people plan their local package accordingly, to reach the temple before the aarti.
