About Shree Kshetra Girnar Gurushikhar

Girnar, the mountain and its range are considered sacred. It is an important pilgrimage site for both Jains and Hindus, who gather here during the Girnar Parikrama festival. Girnar is one of the five major 'tirthas' attributed to the 'panch kalyanakas' of various 'Jain tirthankaras'. Girnar is also significant among Shiva devotees for the so-called "mystic space-time" of the mountain range, with the presence and turnover of different sects of Sadhu BabasNath sect and others. Flora and fauna fairs are also held at the mountains, such as the Maha Shivratri fair. Different Jain Tirthankaras and monks have in the past visited and practiced severe penance at the peaks of Girnar. It hosts a number of temples and some historical spots across its range. Amidst the lush green Gir Forest, the mountain range serves as the hub of religious activity.

The accommodations of Junagadh cover a fairly mixed range, as with many of India's other pilgrimage destinations. Still not a huge draw for international tourists, Junagadh somewhat lacks (perhaps, thankfully) high-rise hotels and resorts, although a few options stand throughout the city center.
