- Nov to Feb
By train: Dwarka
Dwarka is the station this page treats as the railhead. It sits about 16 km from the temple town. Its Indian Railways code is DWK.
The district says Dwarka is well connected to other major cities by regular trains, and gives the station as Dwarka, code DWK.
By air: Jamnagar or Porbandar
Jamnagar or Porbandar is the airport this page treats as the nearest. On a long route the good combination is usually a flight to the closest well connected airport, then a train or a cab for the remaining distance, rather than a second flight or a day of driving.
Airport transfers are where prices are least predictable. Prepaid desks, app cabs and hotel pickups each cost something different, and at small airports the last departure of the day can be early. If you land late, plan the first night in the airport city rather than pushing on.
The district states plainly that there are no regular flights from other major cities to Dwarka. It names Porbandar (PBD) and Jamnagar (JGA) as the nearest airports, with distances of 95 km and 110 km from Dwarka, but its text does not make clear which figure belongs to which airport.
Where you can come from
The cities below are the ones the source names as connected, by rail, by air or by road. They are not a claim about every direct service, and no departure times or train numbers are printed: those change with each timetable, so the live enquiry is the only place to read them for your date.
By road. The district says regular buses reach Dwarka from other major cities, by the NH151 road.

By road
Coast, near Dwarka. That is the shape of the approach: some temples are a straight drive into a town, others end in a climb or a crossing. Rather than print a highway number that may have changed with the last resurfacing, this page describes the approach and leaves the turn-by-turn to a live map on the day.
The last leg into Nageshwar
Nageshwar sits outside Dwarka town, so the last leg is a short drive along the coast road from Dwarka.
Getting your dates right
Nov to Feb is the season this site plans around, with the mildest weather and the smallest chance of a road problem on the approach.
Open all year. If the town itself closes with the temple, book the last night before the shut and the first night after the reopen, because transport thins out around both.
Mahashivratri and Shravan pull the biggest crowds of the year. Trains and rooms fill weeks ahead, and the last leg into town is the bottleneck.
On the coast and in the hills the monsoon makes the approach harder rather than the visit impossible. Plan an extra buffer day at each end of the trip.
