One day trip to Chotila from Rajkot

If you live in Rajkot or are visiting the city and want to spend a day at a peaceful and spiritual place, Chotila can be a good option. Chotila is located about 50 kilometers from Rajkot and is easily accessible by road. The famous temple of Maa Chamunda is the main attraction here, attracting devotees who visit daily.
It’s best to leave for Chotila early in the morning from Rajkot so you can spend the whole day comfortably and have enough time at the temple. It takes around one and a half hours to reach by car or bike. The road is smooth and straight, making the drive easy.

The temple is situated on a hill, which you can reach by climbing stairs. Once at the top, the atmosphere feels peaceful and filled with devotion. After the darshan, you can spend some time around the temple area where the air is cool and the environment is calm.
Around lunchtime, there are a few small food stalls near the temple where you can get simple Gujarati food. If you prefer, you can also eat at one of the nearby hotels.

If you don’t wish to return the same day and want to stay in Chotila, there are a few simple yet clean hotels available. Hotels in Chotila may not be many, but the available options are decent for a short stay. In the Chotila hotel list, names like Hotel Shiv Ashish, Hotel Rajdeep, and Hotel Shiv Dhara are popular among travelers.

By evening, you can head back to Rajkot. If you’re driving yourself, the return journey is also quite comfortable.
