Guru Shikhar - Mount Abu - Dattatreya Swami Cave Temple - Aravalli -Rajasthan

Gurushikhar holds the honor of being not only the highest peak of Mount Abu but the whole of Aravali mountain range, Situated at a height of 1722 meters from the sea-level, Gurushikar provides a breathtaking panoramic view of Mount Abu town and green aravali range.

The word Datta means "Given," Datta is called so because the divine trinity have "given" themselves in the form of a son to the sage couple Atri and Anasuya. He is the son of Atri, hence the name "Atreya." Nearby is an historic bell which was inscribed with 1488 V.S (1411AD.)

To get to the peak of Guru Shikhar, you need to travel the approximately 7km long Delwara AchalGarh road.
