Parasnath Hills are the highest hills in the state of Jharkhand and are located in the Giridih district. The hills are most famous for Shikharji, the holiest pilgrimage site of Jainism. It is believed that 20 out of the 24 Jain Tirthankaras attained moksha at this sacred hill. Parasnath Hills rise to a height of about 1,365 meters above sea level, offering cool climate and scenic views. The region is covered with forests, rocky paths, and natural greenery. Pilgrims undertake a long trek to the summit as an act of devotion and spiritual discipline. The area holds both religious and ecological importance. Apart from pilgrims, nature lovers and trekkers also visit the hills. Parasnath Hills symbolize faith, endurance, and spiritual elevation.
