Stretches approximately 692 km from Palanpur (Gujarat) to Raisina Hill (Delhi).
Its highest peak is Guru Shikhar at Mount Abu, Rajasthan (1,722 meters).
Acts as a watershed for several rivers, including the Banas, Luni, and Sabarmati.
Crucial for groundwater recharge in the arid and semi-arid regions of Rajasthan and Haryana.
Serves as a green lung for the National Capital Region (NCR) and a biodiversity hotspot, home to diverse flora and fauna.
Plays a vital role in checking the eastward spread of the Thar Desert.
Faces severe threats from illegal mining, deforestation, urbanization, and encroachment.
Recognized as an ecologically sensitive area by various environmental bodies and the Supreme Court.
Its geological composition includes igneous and metamorphic rocks, rich in minerals like marble, granite, and various metallic ores.
The lack of a uniform definition of the Aravali range across states has historically complicated its protection.
