Worth stopping for
Before you set off
- Gujarat is a dry state. Nothing alcoholic may be carried across the border.
- Ambaji sits almost on the route and adds little more than an hour.
- For Somnath and Dwarka, Ahmedabad is the overnight halt, not the destination.
- The NH 27 stretch is excellent four-lane highway — this drive is faster than the distance suggests.
