Mount Abu, the hill retreat set in sylvan forests may
be just the place you need. Lying due west of Udaipur,
about 185 km by road, this is the only hill station in
Rajasthan (altitude 1200 m). Mount Abu is a quiet place
perfect for those who like sleepy holiday destinations.The
town comes to life under the onslaught of Gujarati honeymooners,
weekend crowds and pilgrims who come here to boat in
the picturesque Nakki Lake, walk hand in hand, shop at
the innumerable little stalls and drive up to see variations
of the same theme from several popular viewpoints (including
the inevitable ‘Honeymoon Point’!) where
you get enchanting views of the landscape surrounding
Mount Abu.
