Doing it in the right order
Where a shrine nearby is paired with Somnath by its own tradition, do both in one visit: the temple page and the booking page state the day's darshan windows, and the pair is normally a morning. Distances on this page are only printed where a source stated one, so treat the list as things to plan around rather than a route with times.
