The Panch Pandav Gufa is a is close to Triveni Sangam Ghat in Somnath. The Gufa has a lot of importance, and people go there to pray. The Pandav gufa is an interesting place to visit in Somnath.

The entrance of the cave is small, and it is not easy to go inside. The steps are also difficult. Kids can easily go through the steps, but adults need to band and walk safely. The steps are steep and very small, making it difficult to walk. However, during the Somnath tour package, the Gufa is still worth exploring. 

The Panch Pandav Gufa is a hidden gem in the Somnath. The gufa is very important in history and Hindu mythology. The gufa, for sure, will remind you of the epic story of the Pandavas, Mahabharat.
