Most pilgrims base themselves in Porbandar, which has budget and mid-range hotels, guesthouses and dharamshalas, then make a day trip to Koyla Dungar. Simple lodging, dharamshala rooms and eateries are also found in and around Miyani and Gandhvi for those who want to stay close for an early morning climb. Dwarka, further up the coast, is another comfortable overnight base with a wide choice of dharamshalas and hotels if you are combining the visit with the Char Dham circuit.
Porbandar is the sensible base. As a district town and Gandhi's birthplace it has a spread of budget and mid-range hotels, guesthouses and community dharamshalas, plus reliable food, banks and transport, all within a short drive of Koyla Dungar. Staying here lets you set out early and be at the shrine before the day heats up.
Closer in, Miyani and Gandhvi offer simpler options: modest lodges, dharamshala rooms tied to the temple community and small eateries. These suit pilgrims who want to be on the spot for a pre-dawn climb or the first aarti, though the range and comfort are basic compared with the town.
If you are combining the visit with the wider coast, Dwarka further north is a well-developed pilgrim town with abundant dharamshalas and hotels across price points. Book ahead for any stay during Navratri, when rooms across the whole Porbandar to Dwarka belt fill quickly.
