Aravalli Range in India is the oldest surviving geological feature in the world! Aravalli range was once as tall as Himalayas! However, over hundreds of millions of years, they have been eroded down to low hills and ridges.

The northernmost point of the Aravalli's is the North Ridge near Delhi University. Farther south, near the Gujarat-Rajasthan border, these short hills turn into mountains again.

The Guru Shikhar peak at Mount Abu rises to 1722 meters above sea level and is considered to be a sacred place.

The Rajput warrior clans claim that their ancestors arose from a great sacrificial fire on this mountain! Despite the significance of the Aravalli's, they are under threat today because of reckless mining and quarrying.
