The plateau on which the tower is located is at a considerable altitude. The air is thin enough to make physical activity difficult. {{book ref|sa3|46}} The cliffs beneath it extend further than the eye can see.{{book ref|sa3|58}} This location is high enough that both [[highstorm]]s and the [[Everstorm]] pass beneath it, which makes it difficult for the tower's current occupants to obtain [[stormlight]].{{book ref|sa3|4}}
Historically, there was some disagreement as to whether or not Urithiru is accessible by means other than [[Oathgate]] travel or flight. Ancient chroniclers Varala and Sinbian both stated that it was impossible, but in [[Nohadon]]'s eighth parable from [[The Way of Kings (in-world)|''The Way of Kings'']], he claims that he walked from [[Abamabar]] to Urithiru (which he confirms in Dalinar's dream, saying that he did not use an Oathgate, only a guide, which he believes wasn't "cheating" in any way).{{epigraph ref|sa1|34}}{{book ref|sa3|103}} As is later revealed, there is an entrance at the bottom of the mountain which can be used to exit the tower on foot. {{book ref|sa3|
There is an unnamed village in the foothills of the mountain to the south of the tower, {{book ref|sa2|i|10}} but it is apparently not visible from the tower, as all Dalinar can see is clouds and rocks.{{book ref|sa3|86}} In addition, Urithiru sits relatively close to the [[Valley]] of the [[Nightwatcher]].{{map ref|Roshar}}
