Mount Abu is the only hill station in Rajasthan. It feels cooler and greener than the plains and makes a pleasant break from safaris.
Distance and route
It is about 99 km from Bera, roughly two hours by road. Leave early to enjoy the lake and temples and return before dark.
What to see
- Nakki Lake, with boating and a promenade.
- The Dilwara Jain temples, famous for marble carving. Visitor hours for non-Jains are usually in the afternoon, so check before you go.
- Viewpoints such as sunset point and the hills around the town.
Tips
Dress modestly for the temples and expect no leather items inside. Weekends can be crowded. The weather is cooler than the plains, so carry a light layer.
