The Aravalli Range (also spelled Aravali) is a mountain range in Northern-Western India, running approximately 670 km (420 mi) in a south-west direction, starting near Delhi, passing through southern Haryana,[1] Rajasthan, and ending in Ahmedabad Gujarat.[2][3] The highest peak is Guru Shikhar on Mount Abu at 1,722 m (5,650 ft). The Aravalli Range is arguably the oldest geological feature on Earth,[4][5][6][7] having its origin in the Proterozoic era.

The Aravalli Range is rich in natural resources and serves as check to the growth of the western desert.
