Mount Abu is a popular hill station in the Aravalli Range of Rajasthan. Known for its pleasant climate and lush greenery, it offers a refreshing escape from the desert landscape of Rajasthan. The town is also famous for the Dilwara Jain Temples, intricate marble structures that are a major pilgrimage site.
Mount Abu offers a cool respite from the heat, beautiful views, and significant religious sites. However, it can get crowded during peak season and some areas are not well-maintained. It's a good choice for a short, relaxing getaway, but don't expect a remote wilderness experience.
Reaching Mount Abu involves a drive from the nearest airport or train station. Plan for at least two full days to explore the main attractions comfortably. Consider booking accommodations and transportation in advance, especially during peak season.
