- deepti s30 contributionsCan be missedYou have to travel a lot to reach this mandir. I found it overhyped and not so great. Locals have made too many stories around the place in order to promote tourism and business in this place. It can be missed if you are short on time.Visited January 2023Written 16 January 2023
- Bhikaji DeshmukhAurangabad District, India225 contributionsIsland of lord KrishnaBet refers to islands. Some people told mythological stories about lord Krishna and his friends sudama meeting spot (in hindi bhet) that's why the name got Beyt Dwarka but the bet originally referred as island in hindi so it is called as bet Dwarka where Dwarkadhish Temple is located. Only option to reach Bet Dwarka is ferry from okha port. Ferry ride is available from okha port cost 20₹ one side. Coastal road is in progress and will soon be delivered in service so that devotee, tourist and visitors can easily be reach to islands by road 24 x7.Visited December 2022Travelled with friendsWritten 31 January 2023
- drrganeshNew Delhi, India357 contributionsPrepare for the crowds!Situated roughly a half hour ride from Dwarka, this needs to be reached by a ferry( incredibly crowded, 20 rupees / person / ride) We booked a "cabin" for 500. Roughly 10 -15 minutes ride. Then be prepared to be surrounded by auto drivers offering to drop you to the temple. The main temple is a short walk from the ferry terminal and if you get there early in the morning, lines are short. Another Hanuman temple needs to be done by auto( Roughly 30 rupees / person). It's not really worth the visit if one is short on time.Visited March 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 29 March 2023

We were told a trip to Dwarkadham (business capital of Sri Krishna) is incomplete without visiting Beyt Dwarka (residence of Sri Krishna). So with high spirits we decided to visit the island. Though it is historically very important but is completely mis managed by the locals, who are all out to make money. Currently the only mode to reach the island is from Okha in redundant boats and an equally chaotic ticket counter-reminded me of mass exodus from countries.
After braving it to the island in overly stuffed boats (going upto 200 passengers in big boats), we were
subjected to a complete stampede at the main temple.
The only respite was the young private auto driver we got who motivated us to see other 2 famous temples and took us around in his auto.
The exit from the island was equally bad, with a stampede like situation while boarding and getting off the boat with callous boat captains. The life jackets were also stashed on a post, which served more of a decorative purpose, as no one could remove them.
Very sad to see such a historically important place being totally mismanaged, authorities should definitely step in for crowd management and making it a better place for the common man who travels from far to see sacred places.

A very nice place which is the residence of Lord Krishna. Try to visit before 0800h in the morning. The boats operate from a jetty near Okha. The boats are crowded and no one wears life vests. The ticket price is Rs 20(one way) on these boats. But if you can afford, try to book the full boat. It will cost around Rs 2500/-(you have to negotiate though). If you book the full boat, then you will not have to wait for the boat to get filled and thus save time. The Temple is closed between 0800h and 1000h. After that there is heavy rush. So do the darshan before 0800h. Also it becomes hot hater on in the day. Avoid sundays and holidays.

Located off the coast of Gujarat, Beyt Dwarika is a small island which can be reached by boat. The island hosts two temples with rich history.

An ancient temple constructed where Lord Krishn met his poor friend & classmate Sudama. One has to travel in the boat to cross the sea to an island. Boat are running, I would say, at every 5 minutes with lots of rush but quite comfortable and ease. Everyone has to walk more than a kilometer to temple though Dhela is available for those who do not want to walk. A worth place to visit. It will take atleast an hour from the Okha jetty.

We stayed in club mahendra. It was very nice and comfortable. Do not miss to visit sonata temple. Like kasi the temple has to be visited at least once in your life time. You can read my review of the temple. In dwaraka leaving the main temple you have several places to visit.
At sonata Lords is a very good place to stay.

You can start anytime of the day but avoid late evenings as the boats to and fro baith Dwarka goes down and also they overload which could create chaos.
The Jyotirlinga temple can be visited after bait dwarka as it is on the way.

What are the best transport options from Dwarka to Bait Dwarka and back? Primary concern is getting back to Dwarka from the jetty in the evening. Also, is the temple not open in the morning?

Only way to reach from Dwarka to bait dwarka is by a boat. (20 Rs. per person). but you have to wait for few minutes till boat is fully filled with passsengers. Reach Dwarka before 12 noon, so you have darshan of the temple, and then afternoon should be spared for bait dwarka, gopi lake, rukmani temple etc. Buses are easily available for complete sight seeing, in the morning (around 8 am) and afternoon (around 2 pm)

Planning to go to Bhati Dwarka and Dunny point from there. Morning or evening sunset which is a better time? When is the last boat leave from there? I am going to hire a private boat

Hi,
I will suggest that don't wait for the last boat because if you missed the boat then you have to stay at the island which is not having any amenities like Guest houses or hotels etc. So I prefer to visit the place in morning.
Private boats are very costlier in comparison with public boats. However if you can manage the expenses, then from safety point of concern, private boats are better option.
The only attraction and enthusiasm was the journey over the sea on the boat. The temple on the island was under construction. Except the Temple, there is nothing on that island. So I will suggest to carry food items as well.
Thanking You.
Regards,
Abhay Bhardwaj
