But, there is something more beyond its post-card beauty, it’s a world slightly quieter yet wilder- the Aravalli hills, one of the oldest mountain ranges in the world. Here, life slows down. Wind along bare ridges, thick with rocks, and play in vine-hung woods, murmuring brooks run through pebbly bases; all birds heard; in damp mosses and words smells of rain; scent of air after hot day sunshine sealed to pine needle floor of dark glistening forest.-Kimball, For those who want more than just gorgeous scenery the Aravallis offers an all-too-rare chance to really walk, listen, breathe and reconnect with the world.
