About 1000 steps or so ahead one sees Gaumukhi Ganga and ahead is the famous temple of Ambaji further to which is Baba Gorakhnathji dhuna.

The peak of the Girnar mountains hosts our lord Dattatrey, Guru of all saints & siddhs. Girnar is said to host 9 naths & 84 siddhs. A few steps down is a “chetan dhuna of Lord Dattatreya which lightsup on its own for about an hour on every monday. Bhandara is served here after which the descend of Girnar begins.
