Tours to Mount Abu

Pony rides and pedalo trips on Nakki Lake, along with jeep trips to the white-marble Jain temples at Dilwara, occupy the streams of Indian tourists and honeymooners who travel up to Mount Abu on weekends. But the town, cradled by a bowl of dark-brown boulder hills draped in greenery, is set amid some magical scenery that’s best explored on foot. From the lakeside, you can follow trails past caves inhabited by itinerant sadhus to rocky summits overlooking a vast sweep of plains.
