Aravalli Range

The Aravalli Range is a major mountain system in northwestern India, stretching approximately 800 kilometers through Rajasthan, Haryana, and Delhi. It is one of the oldest mountain ranges in India, formed around 1.6 billion years ago. The range influences the climate by causing orographic rainfall and acts as a natural barrier, affecting weather patterns. It is rich in mineral deposits, including gold, copper, and zinc, and is home to diverse flora and fauna. The Aravalli Range plays an important role in the region’s ecology, culture, and geography, providing scenic landscapes and supporting local communities.
