Guru Shikhar: At the Apex of Tranquility in Mount Abu
Nestled in the scenic Aravalli Range, Mount Abu, the only hill station in the state of Rajasthan, unfolds its natural beauty and spiritual allure. Among its many attractions, Guru Shikhar stands tall—both in elevation and significance—offering a breathtaking panorama and a sanctuary for seekers of tranquility.
A Spiritual Ascent:
Guru Shikhar, literally translated as the “peak of the guru,” is the highest point in the Aravalli Range and Mount Abu, standing at an elevation of 1,722 meters (5,650 feet) above sea level. Its name is derived from an ancient legend that suggests Lord Dattatreya, an incarnation of the divine trinity, had visited this place.
The Ascend:
Reaching Guru Shikhar involves a scenic journey through winding roads surrounded by lush greenery. The climb to the summit can be made by road, and the journey itself is a serene experience with every turn revealing panoramic vistas of the surrounding hills and valleys.
