Mount Abu Tour Packages
Mount Abu – Rajasthan’s Cool Retreat of Temples, Lakes & Forests
Perched on the Aravalli hills, Mount Abu is Rajasthan’s only hill station—a green, breezy pause between fort cities and desert dunes. Couples paddle across Nakki Lake, trekkers follow forested trails to Guru Shikhar (the highest peak), and culture lovers stand awestruck inside the marble-laced Dilwara Jain Temples, considered among India’s finest examples of stone carving. Evenings bring golden light over Sunset Point and lively lanes of cafés, handicraft stalls, and ice-cream carts. With cooler temperatures, scenic lookouts, and wildlife, Mount Abu balances sacred calm with easygoing holiday vibes.
