Sahasavan to Neminath Temple Steps

Short answer:

• Sahasavan is the place where Neminath’s Diksha/Gyan kalyanak is enshrined on Girnar. From the base to the Neminath temple, pilgrims climb about 3,800–4,500 steps, with the main Neminath temple usually reached after roughly 4,000 steps. If you count from the Sahasavan point, the climb to the Neminath temple is around 3,200–3,400 steps more. The exact number can vary by route and tradition (Digambar vs Śvetāmbara). You can read more on Girnar’s step routes and temples here and about Sahasavan specifically here .

Key points:

• Sahasavan (the place of Neminath’s Diksha and Kevalgnan) is described as a landmark on Girnar. From there to the Neminath temple, the ascent continues through further tonks and steps. The main Neminath temple sits atop Girnar, reached after a long climb of several thousand steps. The typical total to reach the Neminath temple is about 4,000 steps from the base, and about 3,200–3,400 steps from Sahasavan to the Neminath temple, depending on the exact path taken. This is noted in Jain pilgrimage resources on Girnar. ( jainknowledge.com)
• The climb and routes can differ between Digambar and Śvetāmbara traditions, including the exact sites counted as “Sahasavan” or the footprints and shrines along the way. The general idea—Sahasavan as a key kalyanak site and the Neminath temple as the main darshan—remains consistent. ( jainknowledge.com)
• If you’re planning, consider the ropeway option for part of the ascent to Ambaji temple, which is another landmark on Girnar; many pilgrims still prefer the traditional steps for darshan and tapas. See Girnar information pages for details. ( girnardarshan.com)
