This is my 2nd review on same location. Visited jain neminath temple in December 2024 through ropeway. Ropeway drops you to Ambaji mandir. From there it's a 1200 step downward walk to Neminath temple. If u wanna come back via ropeway u have to climb the 1200 steps up to the ropeway/Ambaji mandir. However if u wanna visit Sheshavan then it's another 1500 odd steps to Sheshavan and from there around 3000 steps down to the base/taleti. If u take Sheshavan route then u can't take the Ropeway back. Ropeway - Neminath temple - Sheshavan can take 5-6 hours. Ropeway - Neminath - Ropeway can take 3-3.5 hours. Pakshal pooja pass is available only till 9.30 Am. So catch the first ropeway at 7 am. Chandan Puja starts around 12 noon. To avoid queues better to take early morning 7 am or latest 8 am ropeway tickets. Post that waiting time in ropeway queue can get very long. Dolis are available from Ambaji to Neminath and back. With extra charge doli is also available for covering Sheshavan. Ropeway can be booked online as well

After trekking all around the world, this is one of the best we have ever experienced. The mountain has large numbers of temples, some small and some sizeable. Many of those on the mountain are pilgrims and so the atmosphere is joyous and celebratory. The mountain is viewed as a god and so loud cries of "Jai Girnari" were around us as we ascended and descended. We left around 4:40am and finished at 12 noon, some 20,000 steps later.

The use of plastic on the mountain is carefully controlled via two check points - one en route and the other at the base of the mountain. Any plastic water bottles will be confiscated. You have two choices - buy and fill 1 litre flasks sufficient for the trek or buy re-useable water bottles at the stalls en-route and have them filled as required. If drinking mineral water is important to you, take your own supply. Great care is taken to keep the mountain clean and it shows.

It is necessary to climb 3800 steps to reach the jain temples of Girnar. Even if these temples do not have the splendor of those of Palitana, it is a very nice excursion. Girnar Hill is a jain hill, but the Hindu supremacists colonized it, dotting the staircase with chapels populated by armed monsters covered with cut flowers, things that the non-violent jains hate, which causes tensions between the two communities.
It is forbidden to photograph inside the jain enclosure and almost impossible to find photos on the internet, hence the poor quality of the old representations of curious high-reliefs adorning the interior of the domes of the main temple,

This morning we visited the sacred hill with ten thousand steps. You can go up on foot or by funicular. Given the negligible price of the cable car, the option of going up on foot seems to me to be absolutely to be discarded, also because for the first three quarters of the route you climb steps in the middle of the greenery without even a temple, as they are piled up at the top of the mountain,

Ropeway ride to Girnar hills seems to make you feel that "are you really in India"?. Though the premises are pathetically maintained but the experience is must. View is killing after reaching there. Hats off to Indian engineers for marvelous str. they have made. Ropeway return ticket is Rs.700/- person.
Better to get the ticket online from the website udankhatola, which would save your lot of time. Premises got inaugurated on 24th October 2020 and its a dream project of PM. Avoid going on weekends as crowd is uncontrollable and not up to the std. Security system/HK is poor. Parking facility is super pathetic. Everywhere its written its a "No plastic zone" but on top you see plastic everywhere. You find local people smoking just outside the temple which is very painful. Everything at top is double the rate of MRP. For old age people you get coolie to carry you to Dattatray and gorakhnath temple. You need at least 4 hours to cover all. You need to negotiate heavily with coolie/loaders who take you on round trip.
Try to go early morning or late evening. Ropeway closes by 5.30 p.m

Trip to Girnar was nostalgic as I had visited it a lot during my childhood days. Earlier we had to climb 10000 steps but now with Udankhatola, the climb to Lord Dattatrey temple is around 5000 steps.
I am sure you'll never forget the experience of Ropeway. Reaching to temple of Lord seems to be a big challenge as you have to ascend and descend so many steps.
But finally the FAITH prevails, and you feel blessed when you're in the sanctorum.

We left from the base of the steps at 6.15am. The first stretch (about 4000 steps) is rather easy and well maintained. The second stretch, after the first temple, is more difficult as the flights of stairs are very long. Once we reached the top we visited the other temples and even in this section the ramps are quite long. Total almost 10,000 steps Unfortunately I climbed with only 1.5 of water and it was not possible to buy more since they don't sell it. We always went down on foot and arrived at the starting point at 1.15pm.
