In the dusty arid landscape of Rajasthan, Mount Abu serves as an oasis for travelers.
Located at an altitude of about 1,200 meters above sea level, Mount Abu is the highest mountain in the Aravali ranges. This charming hill station is surrounded by lush wooded slopes, waterfalls and beautiful lakes. The flora that conceals the slope is varied and includes coniferous trees and flowering shrubs that add a touch of natural color which is sometimes hard to find in India. In a country where wildlife is often sadly scarce, Mount Abu offers a tranquil home to a variety of fascinating creatures such as leopards, sambar deer, monkeys, porcupines, snakes, wild boar, bears and hares, not to mention an impressive variety of exotic birds.
The mountain is shrouded in history and full of legend, the host of countless stories of gods, goddesses, saints, sages and mythical beasts. In more recent history, Mount Abu served as a summer home for the Rajput kings of the region, and then leased by the British government to various organs.
