GIRNAR...... an adventurous route to eternal peace


A night view of Girnar mountain 

                        Girnar, only religious place in Gujrat situated on top of a hilly area of Junagadh. A whole mountain is covered with many popular Hindu, Muslim, & Jain temples. The main specialty of this place is all temples are accessible with stoned stairs, counts to 10000 stairs one way.
                        Junagadh can be easily accessible via train Saurashtra Mail, Veraval Express, Pune Veraval Express. with moderate fares for sleeper class. Once you reach the Junagadh, you can reach the Girnar temple by local Auto Rikshaw (Don't worry about fares, they won't charge you more than 20rs per head for any place, provided rates would be same as of now).
                        Book your accommodation, take a rest for a journey. The best time to climb the mountain is night since there are 10000 steps which can give best heat stroke at noon time. In a noon time, it will be difficult to complete these steps. Take a small sack full of water bottles & some dried food. There are various small shops on the route opens 24/7 hrs on a full moon day in your service with lemon juice, water bottles, & other energy drinks.
                       It takes around 4 to 5hrs to reach the top & depends on your physical strength. At highest peak, there is Swami Datta Maharaj temple. In this temple, you can see a Paduka(sandals) of Swami Datta Maharaj. No photography is allowed at this place.
