GURU SHIKHAR

It's a nice feeling when you gone in this kind of place. So relaxing. You can do yur soul searching here. So peaceful, so silent, almost near to God when you want to talk to him. It's a very nice experience for me


GURU SHIKHAR-On covering a distance of 3 miles Delwara Achagarh road, a hilly coal-tarred road of nearly 7 kms. leads to highest peak of Mount Abu - popularly known as Guru-Shikhar. It is the highest peak of Mt. Abu, at the height of 5650 ft/1722mts. On the peak is the temple of Guru Dattatreya, who is supposed to be ab incarnation of God Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh. Close to it, there was an old bell with inscription of 1468 V.S. (1411 A.D.) which has been replaced by new one. A little to the north-west of it is another peak on which stands the shrine of Ahilya, the mother of Dattatreya. The landscape of surrounding plains from the high peaks is simply enchanting.
