The most famous temple of Lord Shree Krishna is situated at Dwarka in Gujarat State in India. This is the biggest and most vital place for the pilgrimage for the followers and worshippers of Lord Shree Krishna. Dwarka is located at the shore of the Arabian Sea and the most holy River Gomti. The roaring of Arabian Sea can be felt all along the day by sitting in this famous temple. Dwarka was the city made up of gold in the ancient times. It is said that this old Dwarka sank in the Arabian Sea before around 3000 years and the present Dwarka was made after it.

Dwarka is situated around 280 miles away from Ahmedabad, the largest city of Gujarat. The best way to reach Dwarka is by road through hired car, taxi, or the State Transport buses. It takes around 9 hours to reach Dwarka from Ahmedabad. There are many good hotels available here like Hotel Gokul, Hotel Prerana, and Swastika guesthouse. We stayed at Swastika guesthouse that is around 8 minutes walk away from the main temple. The good and reasonably clean room was available to us at the rates of Rs.250 ($10) per day for double occupancy. The food is no problem and you can have any type of Indian food here at Dwarka at various restaurants. Guruprerana is the most famous restaurant of all to enjoy all types of Indian delicacies. Standard Gujarati thali is also available at Milan restaurant at the rate of Rs.50 ($1.25) per person. You can have unlimited Gujarati food varieties to enjoy. The hot and cold beverages like tea, coffee, and cold drinks are available all through the day.
