About Mount Abu
A pleasant retreat set amidst the lush forested hills is a green oasis in the barren deser tscope that’s Rajasthan.

Mount Abu is situated at the southern tip of the Aravali range, the hill retreat owes its cool climate to its rich flora covering the entire hillside that includes coniferous trees and flowering shrubs. The road leading to Mt. Abu is a curved one characterized by arid region dotted with huge rocks in weird shapes and high velocity winds.

The only hill station in Rajasthan, Mount Abu is more than just a summer retreat. Its stunning array of exquisite Dilwara Jain temples, dating back 11th-13th centuries, make it a popular pilgrimage centre.

During the period of the Maharaja's, it was used as a place of leisure by the royalties. The place presents an interesting contrast of British style bungalows and holiday lodges with various tribal communities residing amidst the thick lush forest on the hills surrounding the region. The tribal community of this area still maintains its pristine ways of living despite progress of the modern times.

The Brahmkumari ‘Ashram’ is another world famous religious community center.
