The highest mountain range and most famous of India is the Himalayan range. This is also the youngest and longest mountain range in India and almost every largest peak in the world. This Himalayan mountain range bisects our country from the rest of Asia and is the primary source of mighty rivers in India. But this is not the oldest mountain range. Coming to the oldest mountain range, the name that comes to mind is the Aravali range. This is also the oldest mountain range in the world with a width of 10km to 100 km. The meaning of the name Aravalli in the local language is " the line of peaks " .and has a span of a total of 800km that covers the Indian states of Delhi, Rajasthan, Haryana, and Gujrat.
The Aravalli Range plays a very important role in the Indian climate as it blocks wind that carries rain to reach the Thar Desert.
Guru Shikhar is the highest point of the Aravalli Range with a total elevation of 1722m.
The Aravalli range is very famous for many tourist attractions and Mount Abu, the only hill station in Rajasthan, is situated on this range.
Udaipur also lies on its southern side. This city which is more famously known as Venice of the East lies on the southern slopes of the Aravalli Mountains.
Banas, Luni, and Sabarmati are some of the rivers that flow through this range.
