The mosque inside the fort, was built from a demolished Hindu temple. Other points of interest include the Tomb of Nuri shah and two fine baolis (stepwells) known as the Adi Chadi and the Naughan. The Adi Chadi is named after two of the slave girls who fetched water from it. The Naughan is reached by a magnificent circular staircase. Cut into the hillside close to the mosque are some ancient Buddhist caves which are thought to be at least ISOU years old. These eerie double-story caves have six pillars with very fine carvings. The soft rock on which Junagadh is built encouraged the construction of caves and wells, and there are other caves in Junagadh, including some thought to date back to the time of Ashoka.

This stunning mausoleum of one of the nawabs of Junagadh is resplendent with silver doors and intricate architecture, including minarets encircled by spiralling stairways. The mausoleum is generally locked but you may be able to obtain the keys from the adjacent mosque.

This museum has the usual display of weapons and armour from the days of the nawabs, with their collections of silver chains and. chandeliers, settees and thrones, howdahs and palanquins, and a few cushions and gowns, as well as a huge carpet which was woven in Junagadh's jail. There's a portrait gallery of the nawabs and local petty princes, including photos of the last nawab with his various beloved dogs. It's open from 9 am to 12.15 pm and 3 to 6 pm daily except Wednesday and the 2nd and 4th Saturday of every month. Entry is Rs 0.50

On the way to the Girnar Hill temples, you pass a huge boulder on which Emperor Ashoka inscribed 14 edicts in around 250 BC. His inscription is in the Pali script. Later Sanskrit inscriptions were added around 150 AD by Rudradama and in about 450 AD by Skandagupta, the last emperor of the Mauryas. The 14 edicts are moral lectures, while the other inscriptions refer mainly to recurring foods destroying the embankments of a nearby lake, the Sudershan, which no longer exists. The boulder is actually housed in a small roadside building, on the write if you are heading towards Girnar.

The climb up the 10,000 stone steps to the summit of Girnar is best made early in the morning, preferably at dawn. The steps are well build and maintained and were constructed between 1889 and 1908 from thc process of lottery. The start of the climb is in scrubby teak forest, one or two km beyond the Damodar Kund, and the road actually takes you to around.There are several refreshment stall on the 21/2 hour ascent. These stall some times also cell jocks so you can graffiti your name on to the rock besides the path! If you really can't face the walk, dolis (rope chairs) carried by porters can be hired; for these you pay by weight so, before setting off, you suffer the indignity of being weighed on a huge beam scale, just like a sack of grain. From the summit, the views are superb.Like Palitana, the Temple – toped hill is of great significance to the Jains. The sacred tank of Damodar Kund marks the start of the climb to the temples. The path ascends through a wood to the marble temples near the summit. Five of them are Jain temples, including the largest and oldest- 12th century Temple of Neminath, the 22nd Jain tirthankar. There is a large black image of Neminath in the central shrine and many smaller images around the temple.
