Which hills are located in Rajasthan? 

Rajasthan, known for its vast deserts and royal heritage, also boasts several hill ranges and scenic hill stations that break the stereotype of it being a completely arid state.

These hills are not only geologically ancient but also crucial for the ecosystem and weather patterns in the region. Many rivers such as the Banas and Sabarmati originate in these hills.
