Bhavnath Temple Located in the foothills of Girnar and considered a world of Naga sadhus, this Shiva temple is converted into a mini Kumbh Mela on the day of Mahashivaratri. The Naga Sadhus who come here from various places worship Shiva in the temple and the Girnar valley resonates with the sound of every Hara Mahadev.
Kalika Temple It is considered a temple of Aghoris. Aghori Sadhus group with red eyes, banded hairs and rubbed ash on the body, appears to be like a group of ghosts of Shivji himself. Devotees of Mahakali and Shivji definitely come here after having darshan in the Bhavnath temple.
Dattatreya Temple The small temple of Sri Dattatreya, sitting on the highest peak of Girnar, looks like a flower blooming in a cloudy valley.
Upavarkot's Vav Gujarat and Rajasthan are famous for their wav and bawalis, but most of the wells in Sorath i.e. Vav's stories are fun.
Adi harda vav This deep well with nine layers has to descend the stone steps. Apart from this, there is a story related to its construction that even after months of digging, when there was no water in the well, then on the advice of an astrologer, two sisters, Adi Auk Kadhi, decided to sacrifice by jumping into the well. With the sacrifice, the well was filled with water and till date it is not dry. In the memory of both the sisters, when someone ties bangles and chunri on a nearby tree, someone prays.
Fort of Sorath State Uparkot was a princely state in Gujarat before the establishment of Junagadh city and this city of Saurashtra was an important part of Sorath state.

The enemies who tried to penetrate the fort wall fell into the trench below, and became the food of the maggots.
