First built around 319 BCE under Chandragupta Maurya and expanded by later dynasties, Uparkot rises atop a plateau overlooking Girnar. Highlights include colossal walls, stepwells (Adi Kadi Vav, Navghan Kuvo) and ancient caves. Special dates: winter tourist season and Girnar Parikrama attract devotees nearby.
