Girnar Hill

Outside of Junagadh, Girnar Hill's 10,000 steps are climbed by Hindu and Jain pilgrims for the magnificent temples at the top. The surrounding forests are supposedly also home to Asiatic Lions. Dan and I ended up helping to carry down an older woman whose legs couldn't take it any more (picture below). Playing monkeys
