3. Nageshwar Jyotirlinga
Nageshwar Temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva and is one of the 12 Jyotirlinga Shrines mentioned in Shiva Purana. The major attraction of this temple is a 25-meters tall statue of Lord Shiva in a large garden with a pond surrounding the statue.
4. Bet Dwarka
Bet Dwarka is a beautiful island that is not only pleasing to the eyes but also soothes your soul. Also known as Shankhodhar, this place holds great significance as Sri Krishna ruled over Dwarka, residing in this place.

‘Moola’ Dwarka, which means ‘main’ Dwarka, is believed to be the original Dwarka mentioned in the Mahabharata. You will be surprised to know that this temple also is the first spot in Dwarka where Lord Krishna stepped in while he was entering the land.
7. Sudhama Dwarka
Sudhama or Sudama, Lord Krishna’s childhood friend, visited him to lend some help for his survival. However, he left Dwarka without expressing his misery to Sri Krishna. This place was named ‘Sudhama Dwarka’ to memorialize the unconditional friendship between Sri Krishna and Sudhama.

We had a very positive experience with Myoksha Travels on our recent trip to Dwarka, Somnath and Gir. The entire trip was well managed and the good people at Myoksha did not give us any chance to complain. The hotels we stayed at were also good and well maintained. Our stay at Gir was very much the highlight of our trip and the resort was exceptional and the food served was extremely delicious. Overall, I would definitely use Myoksha’s services again for any future trips with my family and would highly recommend them to friends and colleagues 👍👌

I had taken services of Myoksha Travels for my long pending Dwarka and Somnath tour in December 2017. Although it was a last minute program but well coordinated by Myoksha. Cherry on the top was our travel companion “Mr. Patel”, who was well versed with locations and also fun to be part of this road journey.
Darshan at Dwarka, Somnath, Nageshwar, Bet-Dwarka was without any issues and will be part of our memory life long.
Hotel at Dwarka (Mercure) was very good and well placed in small town of Dwarka.
Hotel at Somnath (Hotel Sun Plaza) was OK with other hotels being fully booked.
Way Back “Mr. Patel” also took us to Gir Forest Tour which is addition to our itinerary.
Overall trip was a very good and definitely recommend to others.

Sangram Kumar –
In total an awesome experience . Initially was apprehensive about trusting myoksha. But reading about them in google reviews by other people made me take a chance to book a trip to dwarka ,somnath & Ahmadabad along with my parents.
This was one of the best decisions that i ever took . From the very start , the trip was very well planned and phased out. Myoksha staff were constantly in touch with us through out the trip .A big thanks to the very courteous driver [ Mr DixitGujjar ] who was ever smiling and ready to take us to every new place in dwarka and somath . Hats off to the entire team of Myoksha for having planned the trip and stay so well .. Looking forward for my next trip with Myoksha.
