How to Reach

By Air: The Nearest Airport is Rajkot International Airport (Hirasar Airport - HSR), located approximately 48-60 KMS away. From the airport, visitors can easily hire a private taxi, use ride-sharing services, or take a pre-paid cab directly to the Chotila temple base. The drive takes about 1. 5 to 2 hours. Ahmedabad's Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport (AMD) is another option, being about 170 KMS away, requiring a longer 3-4 hour drive via NH-47.

By Train: The Nearest Major Railway Station is Rajkot Junction (RJT), which is well-connected to major Indian cities. From RJT, one can take a local bus, taxi, or local train towards Than Junction. The Nearest Local Station is Than Junction (THAN), located approximately 21 KMS from Chotila. Taxis and local transport are available from Than to the temple.

By Road: Chotila is directly situated on National Highway 47 (NH-47), which connects Ahmedabad and Rajkot, making it highly accessible. Government and private buses run frequently from both major cities and the Surendranagar Central Bus Stand (72. 2 KMS). Driving on the national highway is smooth, and the temple base is clearly marked.

By Local Transport: Within Chotila, the base of the hill (Taleti) is easily reached by local auto-rickshaws. To climb the hill, the only transport is on foot via the stone steps; there is no ropeway or vehicle access to the top for the public.
