Mount Abuमाउंट आबू
Spend 1–2 days in Mount Abu: one day for main sights, a second for relaxed lake time or temple visits.
Mount Abu is Rajasthan's only hill station, offering lakes, temples and a cool climate after the monsoon. Its compact size lets you see the highlights in a day, but a second night lets you enjoy Nakki Lake at sunrise and the Brahma Kumaris centre.
