About Girnar Tourism
Located 27 km from Ahmedabad, at a height of 3,660 feet above sea level and amidst the lush green Gir forest, Girnar
is known as a holy place and important pilgrimage for both Hindus and
Jains. There are a number of temples located here, which have famously
converted it into a township of temples. The Girnar
Hills are a collection of five hills and on each of its five peaks are
five Jain temples built in the 12th century. One has to climb 4000
steps to reach the top. There is also a big mosque here that attracts
many Muslim pilgrims, and is a popular pilgrim spot for childless women
seeking blessings.
