Top Places to Visit in Mount Abu
1. Dilwara Jain Temples
Universally acknowledged as one of the finest architectural masterworks in the world. Built between the 11th and 13th centuries, these five white marble temples feature ceilings and ornamental pillars carved with such unbelievable filigree delicacy that the marble resembles lace or translucent ivory.
2. Nakki Lake & Toad Rock
A picturesque natural lake nestled in the heart of Mount Abu, believed by legend to have been dug out by the fingernails (nakh) of the gods. Enjoy a leisurely paddle or motorboat ride across the tranquil waters, and walk up to the curious Toad Rock overlooking the lake.
3. Guru Shikhar Peak
Rising to 1,722 meters (5,650 ft), Guru Shikhar is the highest point of the entire Aravalli Mountain Range. At the summit sits the historic cave temple dedicated to Guru Dattatreya, offering sweeping, cloud-kissed panoramic views across the verdant valleys below.
4. Sunset Point & Honeymoon Point
Perched on the southwestern cliffs of Mount Abu, Sunset Point provides an enchanting vantage point to watch the sun descend behind the rolling mountains, painting the sky in deep shades of crimson, violet, and gold.
5. Achalgarh Fort & Temple
Originally built by the Paramara rulers and later rebuilt in 1452 by Maharana Kumbha of Mewar. Below the fort lies the ancient Achaleshwar Mahadev Temple, famous for housing a sacred toe-print of Lord Shiva and a massive 4-ton brass idol of Nandi the bull.
