Jay Shri Khodiyar in Karachi, worth a visit in 2026?
Last time I was through, the Gujarati set meal ran about 1,200 to 1,500 rupees for two, and it's a proper sit-down spot rather than a quick counter. It's a fair schlep from the airport side, so factor in the ride.
Ride from the airport's a good 45 min in traffic
good to know on the price & the sit-down thing. was it cash only when u went or do they take cards. asking cuz i never carry enough these days
Thali yes, but weekend hours vary. Call ahead.
Agreed on calling ahead. Worth asking whether they do the full festive menu on Saturdays or just the regular one, since that changes the price a fair bit. Ask about the sweet dish too, sometimes it's extra.
Second this, Sundays they shut by nine.
Bhagwat Bhawan Atithi Gruh: what should I expect in 2026?
Ask for the ground-floor rooms, quieter.
Second this, upper floors get the temple bells at dawn.
Ground floor also dodges the water pump racket at 5am.
Upper floors catch the aarti loudspeaker too.
Rooms are basic but clean, and the annakshetra serves simple Gujarati thali; book ahead for 2026 since Kartik Purnima fills the place fast.
Worth adding that the thali is served around 11am and 7pm sharp, so plan your darshan around those windows or you'll miss it. I'd also confirm by phone a week before, since walk-ins sometimes get turned away during fair season.
Fair season also means the trust office only answers between 9 and 11 in the morning, so call early.
The phone line is only staffed mornings, so call between 9 and 11 or you'll just get the engaged tone.
yeah booking ahead is smart, though fwiw the real crunch is Diwali and Annakut, not just the fair. Last time i visited teh dharamshala was full a month out. Rooms are fine but dont expect hot water before 6.
Booking ahead makes sense but the trust usually opens reservations only a couple months out, so don't expect a 2026 slot confirmed right now. Also carry your own bedsheet and a mug, they're not always provided.
