If you coming by train get down at Junagadh Station and catch a bus/Auto from there to reach the mountain.
From there we have ropeway till Ambaji temple i.e at 5000 steps and from there we need to go by walk to reach Dattatreya temple.
We have lodges, in Dharamshala near the mountain but during peak time try to make your stay plan at Junagadh itself.
Temple is located on Girnar mountain at 3295 ft above sea level and at 9999 steps . We need to cross 3 Hills to reach this temple
It's very crowded on Shivarathri and During peak time, we have a separate route to come down which is laid around the mountain and total steps will be around 25000 including ascending and descending
We have a Ropeway facility till Ambaji temple only after that next 5000 steps need to go by walk to reach Dattatreya temple.
During Shivarathri or peak time, we need to stand in long queues to get our turn for the ropeway.
Food stalls, water, and other refreshment are available throughout the journey.
People are friendly over here and the Gujrat police force will be safeguarding this place.
It was an excellent experience climbing the hills. it's Worth a visiting once in life.
During normal days, the Dattatreya temple closes at 12 midnight and opens in the morning at 5:30 am.
During Normal days, on average a person can take around 6 to 7 hrs. to climb 10000 steps, and during Peak hours or festival time it takes 12-15 hours to finish 25000 steps ascending and descending
On normal days the shops along the climbing path are generally closed by 9:00 pm and again start opening by 2 or 3 am at the night.
On Poornima days the temple is open throughout the night so no problem. It's an adventurous trip and experiences the mesmerizing atmosphere
We have network issues over here so plan accordingly.
Try to climb the mountain early in the morning or during winter.
Start your climbing early in the morning. I started this at 2 in the morning and reached at summit about 7 am. One can see beuty of the nature from here.
While descending I completed only 4000 steps and then took ropeway.
One can climb all 10000 steps to reach the peak or can skip 5000 steps by opting Ropeway services.
It is recommended to carry a wooden stick as it gets bit tougher while climbing.
Doli services is also available
