You don't have enough time to visit the Mataji Temple on Girnar.

Go for this place.

This place is full Jungle and water streams.

This place is good to visit when there is good raini season. You can bath in the water streams.

For the photography this place is like heaven.

If you are planning for the couple photography you can choose this place.

Lord Shiva Temple located in between forest of Girnar. It's a beautiful place if you like trek then you are good to go. When you go here you should be ready and should not carry lot baggage as there are 500 steps and walking , there are waterfall up there if you want to bath then there is no changing room so change wise before you go

Best season to visit is monsoon.. Be careful for kids and ladies as we have to climb and trek on the big rock. We have visited in August. From the temple there is water Fall which is main attraction of the place. Full jungle area..

Great holy place to visit if one is blased by Lord Shiv Shankar..

Mahadev mandir in girnar mount. If anyone wants to go there they have to do track. Its a tracking route. Rainy season is a best season to go there. Because there is a waterfall. Waterfall is active in rainy season. Natural and beautiful place. Must go there if you visit junagadh or girnar.

Don't follow Google maps as it shows wrong location via car. Ask locals for the proper directions. The place is very serene. Best time to visit after monsoon. Please don't throw plastic waste, keep the place clean.

Amazing Place to visit, Specialy in monsoon Season because Water Fall and small Stream is Continue Flow.

superb picnic spot. the way to reach the temple is so amazing into the junagadh forest. in monsoon many small falls are seen on the way. there are one-two nice bathing spot on the way to jatashankar. the temple is dense and quite pleasant.

Very peaceful and holy place.
Best place for picnic.
You can view beautiful and natural scenes in rainy season.
To reach here you need to climb on old steps of Girnar(જૂની સીડી- old stairway), and its road starts near Sudarshan Lake

MUST SELECT "WALKING" DIRECTION IN GOOGLE MAPS.
If you select "BIKE" or "CAR" then it direction you to 'LAL DHORI' which is wrong route

There are on the old steps of Girnar, milestone board of Jatashankar (I uploaded its image also) attention... On right side there are Jatashankar temple path and no more steps you need to walk on path, and on left side there are old steps of Girnar

Wow ! Beautiful place...secluded in the forest. Being a shiva temple its perfect for adventurous walk. Its a long walk into the Gir forest, around 3 km walk. Its all full of snakes and insects and other animals which we saw during out trek to jatashankar temple at the end. There's no sign board for directions though cement stairs are built halfway but rest is all walk is on rocks and mind it, its a walk between big rocks, shrubs and big trees. We saw black colour big snake which suddenly came in front of us, also we even witnessed a snake hanging from tree just right infront of us. Also there are alot of insects which approached/attacked us during out trek.

But at the end, trek was beautiful and worth. Very small temple and a mahant's family live there. Mahant's family told us various stories about snakes and lions coming to temple and all that kinda scary stories. You shall also find alot of Langoors on the way and in temple area.

And behind temple there's s small waterfall, where people come to take bath. Its always preferable to visit this place in monsoon as usually you shall find mild water flowing between rocks and that too with small snakes and insects.

Anyways do come this place and visit nature at best.

Jatashankar is inside dense Gir Forests below the Girnar Taleti. It is very popular in tourists. You may have to go Jata Shankar by Foothills.

Very beautiful area. For Families and Friends.

You may also enjoy playing with Monkeys.
