  • Boating in Nakki Lake

The sprawling Nakki lake is in the heart of Mount Abu, the only hill station in Rajasthan. Also known as Nakki Jheel, it provides a view of the pristine Aravalli and offers a pleasant soft breeze. Famous for boating among tourists, you can choose from paddle boats, row boats, and Shikaras. You can also indulge in zorbing and horse riding by the lake.

  • Witness Wildlife at Mount Abu Wildlife Sanctuary

While Mount Abu is one of the places to visit in Rajasthan, The Mount Abu Wildlife Sanctuary is a paradise for wildlife and nature lovers. Spread over 290 sq. km, this place houses a wide variety of flora and fauna.

In addition, bird watchers can spot over 250 bird species in the vicinity.

  • Hike to Guru Shikhar

The highest peak of the Aravalli, Guru Shikhar, was named after Guru Dattatreya. It is located 15 km from Mount Abu and offers an exciting hiking experience. The peak is 1722 meters above sea level, offering a breath-taking view. Once you reach the top, you can ring a bell placed here, which echoes through the entire mountain range. And don't forget to take out your cameras and get a bird's eye view of the entire Mount Abu from there. 

  • Rock Climbing

There is something exciting for all the adrenaline-seeking tourists as well. Mount Abu offers an exhilarating rock-climbing experience for pros and amateurs alike.

  • Witness a Breath-taking Sunset from Sunset Point

Who doesn't love watching a gorgeous sunset from a vantage point? Sunset point is an absolute must-visit when in Mount Abu. Located three km from Nakki Lake, you can take a cab, walk, or ride on horseback up to a point. The best time to visit this place is during sunset. When the sun kisses the mountain tops as it goes down, it turns the entire sky into a gorgeous hue of gold. Amazing, isn't it. See it for yourself. 

  • Soak in the city view from Toad Rock

Toad Rock is one of the famous sightseeing spots of Mount Abu and is also known as the mascot of the hill station. The rock got its name because it is shaped like a toad. It is an elevated height since it is at the peak of a hill and attracts many tourists daily. People go to the top to rock to take in the panoramic view of the hill station. The lake, the hills, and the greenery make for a jaw-dropping experience.
