The Top 10 Things to Do in Mount Abu, Rajasthan

Rajasthan's Only Hill Station

Tim Makins/Getty Images

Mount Abu, at 4,000 feet (1,220 meters) above sea level, is the highest peak in the Aravalli mountain range and Rajasthan's only hill station set up by the British. It's situated close to the Gujarat state border, approximately five hours drive from Ahmedabad and four hours from Udaipur. The British took a liking to Mount Abu because of its comfortable climate, and they relocated the headquarters of their political Rajputana Agency there from Ajmer in 1857. The imposing Rajputana Residency building, renamed Raj Bhawan after the British left, is now occupied by the Rajasthan Governor during summers. Mount Abu has a reputation as a honeymooner's haven but Indian families flock to the area as well. It remains an offbeat destination for foreigners though. There are plenty of diverse things to do in Mount Abu, particularly for adventure and nature enthusiasts. Here's the pick of them.

Enjoy Water Sports on Nakki Lake

Sacred Nakki Lake sits in the center of Mount Abu. According to Hindu mythology, the gods dug it with their nails while attempting to escape from a demon. The shops and restaurants in the vicinity of the lake draw a crowd in the evenings. However, boating is the big attraction, especially for families with children. It's not well regulated and demand is high during peak season from April to June. Hence, it's best to get there early in the morning to grab a boat and negotiate a rate. Expect to pay anywhere between 50 rupees to 300 rupees per person for a pedal boat, depending on the season. Row boats with oarsmen cost more. Aqua zorbing also takes place on the lake.

See the Town from Toad Rock

Perched above the southern bank of Nakki Lake, landmark Toad Rock provides a panoramic view over town. For peace, the lookout is best visited early in the morning. It can be reached by following the beginning of Bailey's Walk trail, named after a British magistrate, from near Raghunath Temple at Nakki Lake. Those who are interested in the teachings of Swami Vivekananda will want to stop by Champa Cave, about half way up the trail to Toad Rock. The Swami is said to have meditated there for a while in 1891.

Soak Up the View at Sunset Point

Bailey's Walk meanders all the way from Nakki Lake to Sunset Point. However, it's quite long and moderately strenuous when going uphill. Alternatively, take Sunset Point Road, west of the Polo Ground. Shared jeeps ferry passengers from the Polo Ground entrance to the parking lot near Sunset Point, which features a steel Eiffel Tower replica (go figure). From there, it's about a 15 minute walk, horse ride, or push-cart ride to the point. Don't expect to have the view to yourself though! The place becomes carnival-like with hordes of people, amusement park rides and pushy vendors. Arrive at least 45 minutes before sunset to beat the rush and claim a good position. You may want to skip the experience though, as many tourists complain that it's over-hyped and the entrance fee is unreasonable.

Marvel Over the Exquisite Jain Temples

Chris Protopapas/Getty Images

Way before the arrival of the British, influential and wealthy devotees of the Jain religion from Gujarat built some of the finest Jain temples in India (and the world) at Delwara near Mount Abu. The temple complex was constructed between the 11th-13th centuries and is undoubtedly Mount Abu's most spectacular attraction. Its five temples are devoted to various Jain tirthankara s (saints). The two biggest temples (Vimal Vasahi and Luna Vasahi) each took thousands of artisans about 14 years to complete, and have astonishing intricately carved marble work. Sadly, photography isn't allowed. The temples are open to the public daily from noon until 6 p.m. All leather items, footwear, phones and cameras must be left outside at the paid storage counter. Furthermore, menstruating women are considered to be unclean and shouldn't enter the temples. Shared jeeps run to Delwara from Chacha Museum Chowk in Mount Abu's market area.

Go on a Pilgrimage

Mount Abu is linked to various sages and seers in ancient Hindu texts and mythology. Such holy heritage means that many temples and religious places exist there. The Dattatreya cave temple on top of Guru Shikha peak is the most frequently visited one. It houses the footprints of guru Dattatreya, the guru of yogis and ascetics. He's believed to be an incarnation of the divine trinity (lords Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva). There's also a temple belonging to his mother, Ahilya, nearby. The cave temple of Arbuda Devi (also known as Adhar Devi temple) is another popular Hindu temple, situated just outside town on the way to the Jain temples. Legend has it that serpent goddess Arbuda saved the life of Lord Shiva's bull, Nandi, on the mountain. The great sage Vashistha lived at Mount Abu and is said to have performed a ritual sacrifice that created the four warrior Rajput clans. There's an ashram and Gaumukh temple dedicated to him. In addition, within the ruins of Achalgarh fort, the 9th century Achaleshwar Mahadev temple is where Lord Shiva's toe is unusually worshiped.

Explore Mount Abu Wildlife Sanctuary

The great outdoors beckons at Mount Abu! The Mount Abu Wildlife Sanctuary covers nearly 116 square miles (300 square kilometers) of the mountain and has many rare plants (including medicinal plants), plus valleys, peaks and forests. There are numerous walking trails of various distances and difficulties in the sanctuary, ranging from half-day to longer multi-day expeditions. Rock climbing, rappelling, caving and camping are also possible. Hiking & Trekking Company conducts popular guided walks and day hikes. Rajasthan Adventure and Nature Academy is recommended for adventure activities such as rock climbing. Contact Mahendra ‘Charles’ Dan of Mount Abu Treks for bespoke treks and village visits. The cost of entering the sanctuary is 50 rupees for Indians and 300 rupees for foreigners.

Spot Crocodiles at Trevor's Tank

If you don't want to go hiking through Mount Abu Wildlife Sanctuary, you can easily visit Trevor's Tank to spend time amid nature. This huge reservoir was made by British engineer Colonel G.H. Trevor, who bred crocodiles, in 1897. It's only 10 minutes from the Jain temples at Delwara, on the way to Dattatreya temple. The tank is a renowned picnic spot, and there are walkways and viewing stations around it for wildlife watching. Large crocodiles can often be seen resting on the banks during November and December. Birdwatchers should head to Salim Ali Point for standout sightings. The entry fee is 50 rupees per person for Indians and 100 rupees for foreigners, plus additional charges for vehicles.

Have Fun at Thrill Zone Adventure Park

Thrill Zone Adventure Park

About 15 minutes further along the road from Trevor's Tank, Thrill Zone Adventure Park offers an enticing array of almost 25 fun activities. Some of them are zip-lining, ATV rides, dirt bikes, horse riding, rappelling, land zorbing, paintball and archery. The park has been well-developed, and is safe and professionally managed. It's open daily from 9 a.m. until sunset. The cost is 250-350 rupees per activity, with discounts provided for multiple activities. There's also a camping ground for those who wish to stay overnight.

Meditate with the Brahma Kumaris

If you're spiritually-inclined, you can learn about and try Raja Yoga meditation at the global headquarters of the Brahma Kumaris (Daughters of Brahma) in Mount Abu. The beliefs of this spiritual community stem from Hinduism but are distinct from it. The Brahma Kumaris focus on soul-consciousness—that is on people's identities as souls, as opposed to bodies and the associated labels. According to them, souls enter bodies on earth to experience life and grow. Their teachings aim to create a shift from outer material dependency to inner awareness. This will uplift souls and bring about a spiritual re-awakening of humanity. The Brahma Kumaris' headquarters has a number of campuses. The recreational Peace Park, close to Thrill Zone Adventure Park, is ideal for beginner meditation. Guided tours and short films about the concepts of Raja Yoga are provided there. Spiritual retreats and talks are offered at Madhuban , in Mount Abu town, for those who want a more immersive experience. The mortal remains of the Brahma Kumaris' founder are laid to rest there. Serious spiritual seekers can stay at Shantivan Ashram at the base of Mount Abu.

Attend a Festival

Mount Abu has two annual tourist festivals that celebrate the culture of the region. The Summer Festival coincides with the occasion of Buddha Purnima (in April or May each year), while the Winter Festival always happens from December 29–31. Attractions include folk performances, ballad singing, bands, processions, kite flying, and sports competitions.

"A beautiful hill station in Rajasthan"

Mount abu tourism.

The only hill station of Rajasthan , Mount Abu is located in the Aravali range. The most important attraction, however, are undoubtedly the Dilwara temples , which is one of the most stunning pieces of architecture in the country.  Travellers can enjoy calm and relaxed boating in Nakki Lake, and a view of the sunset from the vista points. The restaurants and eateries around the lake are great places to eat local food and chill. The highest peak of the Aravali Range - Guru Shikhar also lies in Mt. Abu. Mount Abu Forest Sanctuary with an abundance of flora and fauna is also a highlight.

The exceptionally intricate architecture of the Dilwara temples are of course the main attraction here, and you can easily spend hours wondering how these temples were built over 2 centuries, almost 1000 years back. The temples were specifically made so that they are plain from the outside to avoid the attraction of plunderers, and have withstood the test of time extremely well.

#1 Nakki Lake

Nakki Lake is a beautiful lake that lies among hills. According to beliefs, it is chiseled out by the Gods with their nails. It’s a famous boating destination and India’s only man-made lake at 1200 meters above sea level. There are numerous points of interest in the surrounding hills.

#2 Toad Rock

Mount Abu’s Toad Rock, adjacent to Nakki Lake, is a beautiful spot to visit. The panorama that explodes upon you at Toad Rock wonderfully reflects all of Mount Abu’s natural splendor. This rock is a strangely shaped high stone that rests on the lake’s bank, seeming as if it may dive into its dappled waters at any moment.

This place will appeal to photographers due to its picturesque qualities. Toad Rock, despite its simplicity, is justifiably one of the most popular places to visit in Mount Abu.

#3 Dilwara Jain Temple

Dilwara Jain Temples are exquisitely carved and dedicates to the Jain Tirthankaras . These were erected between the 11th and 13th centuries A.D. The earliest of these is the Vimal Vasahi temple, which worships the first Tirthankara. It is a remarkable example of temple construction, built-in 1031 A.D. (by Vimal Shah, a trader, and representative of the then Gujarat king). The central shrine has a reflection of Rishabhdev and a massive courtyard with 52 tiny shrines, each housing a magnificent figure of a Tirthankara. The courtyard entrance has 48 lovely and sophisticated carved pillars.

The Lun Vasahi Temple dedicates to the 22nd Tirthankaras-Neminath, was erected in 1231 A.D. by two brothers from the Porwal Jain sect, Vastupal, and Tejpal, both Ministers of Raja Vir Dhawal, a king of Gujarat. The temple is a superb example of excellent craftsmanship, with door casings, pillars, and sculptures on the entrances.

#4 Sunset Point

Being a sunset lover, I think this is one of the best places to visit in Mount Abu . Sunset point lies South-west of Nakki Lake. Here the sun gradually drowns itself in the blue sky between two mountain peaks. At this location, steps lead up to a high terrace with an awe-inspiring view of the setting sun.

#5 Honeymoon Point

Honeymoon Point or Andra Point is a popular destination (especially for couples). It offers a beautiful view of the lush green plains and valleys. The early evening hours are when the site is at its most attractive .

#6 Gaumukh Temple

Gaumukh Temple is a Hindu temple in Mount Abu. The word Gaumukh means the face of a cow (“ gau ” means cow , and “ mukh ” means face ). The shrine gets its name from a natural spring that runs all the way through a carved cow’s head. The sage Vashishtha’s famous “yagna” was held here.

Against the picturesque background, a wonderfully carved hill temple of Arbuada-the mighty serpent stands. The magnificent marble figure of Nandi, the celestial bull saved by Arbuada, lies nearby.

#7 Shri Raghunathji Temple

The Raghunath temple is located close to Nakki Lake. It was erected in the 14th century and, is a popular pilgrimage site. Shri Raghunath Ji, the avatar of Lord Vishnu, is worshipped in the temple. And according to their beliefs, he protects his devotees from all-natural disasters. The Vaishnavaites and travelers with a religious inclination pay a visit to the temple. Furthermore, the temple is said to provide relief from life’s aches and pains.

#8 Adhar Devi Temple

Adhar Devi Temple or Arbuda Devi Temple settles atop a cliff in a cave. The temple dedicates to Goddess Durga and is 3 km from Mount Abu. It is one of the most important religious sites in the hill town. A visit to the Adhar Devi Temple necessitates climbing 365 high stairs. But the effort is well worth it as it offers a bird’s-eye view of Mount Abu.

The temple is built out of a huge rock and visitors must bend and crawl to access the interior shrine. During Navratri (a nine-day Hindu festival), crowds of Hindu pilgrims go to the temple and is celebrated with zeal/ full gusto.

#9 Trevor’s Tank

Trevor’s tank gets its name from the British engineer. It nestles in the heavily forested hills of the Aravali Ranges and is a haven for bird watchers. A large number of beautiful birds are present here. Pheasants, peacocks, and partridges are the most significant.

#10 Guru Shikhar

Guru Shikhar, Mount Abu’s highest peak, is one of the most beautiful places. The temple erected atop this summit exudes a sense of calm. With only a small piece of pink poking out of an otherwise basic white chalk structure, the temple seemed like something out of a fairy tale.

#11 Om Shanti Bhawan

Om Shanti Bhawan, or the Universal Peace Hall, lies in the center of Abu. It’s a gorgeous corridor for gatherings, with enough room for 5,000 people to sit comfortably. In addition to this, an interpretation office in 16 dialects is available at all times. It’s a no-reservation traveler spot. Every day, about 8,000 people come to view it. This is a top Mount Abu tourist attraction.

Here, on a massive scale, consistently meaningful meetings are organized. It’s possible to reach Rajyoga Education’s extraordinary offices for Indians as well as distant brothers and sisters from this location. Students may take classes that focus on characteristics and otherworldliness.

#12 Peace Park

The Brahma Kumaris Peace Park is perfect and serene, an indigenous ecosystem where peace and entertainment coexist. The recreation area is between two prominent Aravali peaks — Guru Shikhar and Achal Garh — on the journey’s major route. Around 8 km from the Brahma Kumaris base camp on Mount Abu lies the Peace Park, a desert spring of common excellence.

Brahma Kumars and Kumaris who enjoy welcoming a large number of visitors regularly lovingly take care of this location. Guests can see a short video clip that highlights the inherent grandeur of the human spirit and interesting notions associated with Rajyoga contemplation in addition to taking a guided tour of the leisure facility.

#13 Mount Abu Wildlife Sanctuary

In the Mount Abu mountains lies the Mount Abu Wildlife Sanctuary. While many people come here just for sightseeing and vantage points, the majority come to see the wildlife and avian residents. The Mount Abu Wildlife Sanctuary stretches for around 7 km and is just 300 m wide at its narrowest point. Taking a long walk down The Mount Abu Wildlife Sanctuary will not cause you to miss anything.

Flower splendor abounds at the Mount Abu Wildlife Sanctuary in the Indian state of Rajasthan. This wildlife Sanctuary has 449 genera and 820 species of plants from 112 different plant families. Furthermore, Mount Abu Wildlife Sanctuary has a large collection of orchids.

#14 Thrill Zone Adventure Park & Camps

You’ll be astonished by the sheer number of fascinating and exhilarating games and daring activities at Thrill Zone Adventure Park. Here participants immerse in a stimulating environment full of energy and passion. Numerous sports are present around the area such as bungee jumping and zip-lining as well as zip bikes and ATVs.

Thrill Zone Adventure Park is the best place to go if you’re feeling adventurous and in need of a getaway.

#15 Achalgarh Fort

The Achalgarh Fort lies at a distance of 8 km from Rajasthan’s Mount Abu. Achalgarh Fort is a medieval landmark of Mt Abu, with massive battlemented walls and a location atop a mountain summit giving magnificent views . Fort was commissioned by Rana Kumbha, who was responsible for hundreds of huge castles in southern Rajasthan.

The 10-minute trek to the sculpted Jain temples is well worth it for the scenery and art. Just below the route lies the Achleshwar temple . The temple has a Nandi that people believe is made of Panchadattu (five metals); gold, silver, copper, brass, and zinc, and weighs more than 4 tonnes.

And the Mandakini lake , surrounded by rocky hills and adorned with pictures of a Rajput ruler and buffaloes, lies nearby. Legend has it that the tank was filled with ghee and was a drinking spot for demons masquerading as buffaloes until they were shot down by Raja Adi Pal.

I think the reason behind the evergreen tourism of Mount Abu is its weather and numerous yet unique tourist attractions . As these places to visit in Mount Abu offer natural lakes , man-made ancient temples , charming panorama , and adventure that may cheer anyone. So, in the end, I would like to wish you a happy and beautiful journey. Stay safe and let the adventure begin 😉

The main temple complex consists of five different temples dedicated to the Jain Tirthankaras. Dilwara temples may be visited 365 days a year from 12noon till 5pm. As per legends, Nakki Lake was created by the Devtas by digging up with their nails or, nakh. It is the only Indian artificial lake at such a high altitude of 3937ft approximately and one of the top sightseeing places here. It is considered sacred by the local tribes who perform rituals here. Situated at the heart of Mount Abu, it is the cynosure of attraction in the evening. You can enjoy boating or, just relaxing on its banks to unwind in peace. You can watch the sun going down from this place which lies to the south west of the Nakki Lake. The panorama triggers the spirits of festivity as you see the lush green plains thousands of feet below. The fort of Achal Garh was built by Rana Kumbha in the 15th Century. Within it lies the Achaleswar Mahadev Temple. Unlike in other temples, here the great toe of Lord Shiva is worshipped. The idol of Nandi is made of five metals such as gold, silver, copper, brass and zinc. This place is considered miraculous and is among the must see places.

This temple has a spring which emerges from a rock, shaped like a cow’s face. Rishi Ved Vyas had suggested Dharma Raj Yudhistir to spend one night at this Ashram. In turn Yudhistir could gain the blessings equivalent to donation of one thousand cows.
