Mount Abu is the highest peak in the Aravalli Range of Rajasthan state in western India. It is located in Sirohi district.Mount Abu is 58 Km from Palanpur(Gujarat). The mountain forms a distinct rocky plateau 22km long by 9 km wide. The highest peak on the mountain is Guru Shikhar, at 1722 meters above sea level. It is referred to as ‘an oasis in the desert’, as its heights are home to rivers, lakes, waterfalls and evergreen forests.
History
In the Puranas, the region has been referred to as Arbudaranya, (“forest of Arbhu“) and ‘Abu’ is a dimunitive of this ancient name. It is believed that sage Vasishtha retired to the southern spur at Mount Abu following his differences with sage Vishvamitra.

I have visited this place several times. Its simply beautiful & heaven at home for the people of Gujrat & Rajastan. But the only drawback is none of the tourism or government is taking good care for the development of this place. That should be brought to the notice of them

Mt.Abu – The abode of Peace and Tranquility
Nandakumar Hattiangadi
I visited Mt.Abu in Feb.2000 and found the experience to be exhilrating and everlasting in my memore. The natural scenery you see while travelling on the road that takes you from the plateau to the rising mountain is breath-taking and mind-blowing. Truly a place where one can really experience the peace of mind. A person who has visited Mt.Abu once will find himself desiring to make another trip to the place. The place is full of ancient temples which are worth seeing. Good food and accomodation is easily avialable for the tourist. The people of Mt.Abu are very simple, friendly, courteous and always in the “helping nature” frame of mind. One does not feel like returning from Mt.Abu after the personal experience gained by him/her. In my opinion, if you have not visited and stayed at Mt.Abu, then, you have really missed out on the opportunity. To sum up, Mt.Abu is a paradise on the Indian soil to peace lovers all over the universe.
hi
good morning

Really wonderful pics of Mount Abu. People of Rajasthan and Gujarat are lucky having such beautiful picnic spots. As and when I will find time, would be visiting the places alongwith my family.
I feel, having seen the pics, one must visit the places which appear to be quite OK for mental peace and tranquility.
Thanks ASOL.IN

Very nice place to visit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i passed here middle class 10th class
in 70’s i enjoyed the life .
very nice place.
very memorable
Well the place is very good. But you shouldn’t go their during holidays as it would be very crowded…..But an excellent place during off season.
hello most beautiful one of the palace in the world….
Why thre are no Imges, of, the Famous, “Delwaras”, or “Jain Temples”
I like this place very much………..
i allready see this beauty before 2 years /i would like to go there one more time ……
Ilike all picturs to good i thanks for you.
Its so beautiful that I cant explain. If things happens good I like to go their & enjoy the beauty.
Sir, It’s the Rajasthan where you can experience the different flora & fauna, culture & traditions, and atmosphere and climate. You can experience the scorching heat at Jaisalmer and Jodhpur as well cool breeze of Shimla at Mount Abu. Mount Abu is true mood elevating place.
It’s Very nice place in mount abu, really really beautiful place………
hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
beutiful place and beutiful nature
nice
nice
i see your pictures.i love all that.i deside i will go there.so,i am going next monday.
I visited 10 years ago to 15 days there, I would take there Mountaineering Training there there are awasome places there recently i visited just 2 days ago to 5 days i hault there great place ever
not me but my son visited last yar on a month of april .he was very happy to be there and enjoy its stay .hope to see this place life time.
In 1999 I stayed there for a few months.
Later while working at Ahmedabad during 2003-2006, I used to visit Mount Abu very frequently.
It is one of the best hill stations in India and the urbanisation has not affected the natural beauty of the place much.
I agree. Twenty one members of Karnataka ISU3A from Bengaluru visited Mount Abu during second week of October. We were guests at Brahmakumari which is a great place to stay. Don’t miss to visit.
while i saw the above photos, i felt very happy about talent of who took above the photos. That places are look like heaven. so cute………
Wounderful pictures
woh!what a wonderful place .
I have seen this place.it is worth visiting
Very beautiful spiritual place on earth .
I am forwarding to others
Truly yours

Really very intresting , we should provde india that we have a such historical and beautiful places.
every year i visit Mount Abu, I like it.
Very nice place. Worth visiting.
Hi dear,
Its very nice place and I think best time to visit there is oct month
and One more best place just near to app. 120km far from Mount is Mehsana
in Gujrat , where Asia second largest water park and that is very
injoiable place for whole day.
I use to go to mount Abu as a Rock climbing Instructor in early 1960s. Last i visited was in 1997, it was a shock to me, as this place has had no control on development. It is left in a mess. I feel very sad about our national treasures are not looked after as it should be.
when i was in Jaipur from 2004 to 2008, had the opportunity to visit there officially, but missed the chance.
I STAYED IN MOUNT ABU FROM 1979 FEB TO 1981 FEB. SUPERB HILL STATION . BETTER THAN SIMLA OR SHILLONG EVEN. THAT TIME PEOPLE WERE NOBLE. STRUCTURES WERE LESS, THIN POPULATION . SUMMER USED TO BE BEST. LEAVE UR HOME DOORS OPEN… NO THEFT EVEN MILK WAS PLENTY . BURFEE USED TO BE AS PRASAD IN TEMPLES OR ELSEWHERE .
I VISITED AFTER 23 YRS AGAIN .NOT HAPPY THE WAY POLO GROUND SHOPS ALL OVER WERE MAINTAINED. LIFE BECAME BAZAAR AND BAZAAR ONLY .
LUST OF MONEY IS MAKING THIS BEAUTIFUL PLACE HOPELESS.
Beautiful Photography &Nice.
i am missing those days with my friends……….???
Natural beauty. I wish i could visit this place.
I want to go But.
