A sacred, forested hill range with over 10,000 stone steps leading past ancient Jain and Hindu temples, offering vast panoramic views.
Girnar's five peaks rise above Junagadh, linked by a long stone staircase that passes centuries-old Jain temples partway up and a Dattatreya shrine near the summit. The combination of mist-wrapped forest, temple architecture and sweeping valley views makes it a favoured spot for landscape and pilgrimage-style photography.
