At present The Aravali range is only a reminiscent of the gigantic system that existed in the prehistoric times with several of its summits rising above the snow line and nourishing glaciers of stupendous magnitude which in turn fed many great glaciers. The Aravalis now flaunt a magnificent Semi-Dry Deciduous Forest.
