From Mount Abu to Udaipur: Nature’s Delights for Every Traveller

The twin jewels of Rajasthan—Udaipur and Mount Abu—are magnets for anyone who loves the great outdoors. With their rolling hills, mirror-still lakes and pulse-quickening safaris, these two regions have earned a permanent place on every traveller’s wish-list. Visitors don’t just soak in the scenery; they dive head-first into heart-pounding adventure activities as well.

Udaipur is fast becoming Rajasthan’s adventure capital. The shimmering Pichola Lake and the breezy Fateh Sagar Lake cast an immediate spell, while the surrounding Aravalli hills offer world-class trekking and rock-climbing routes. Guided safaris run by the Rajasthan Tourism Development Corporation (RTDC) add another layer of excitement, whisking guests through villages, vineyards and hidden valleys.

Mount Abu, Rajasthan’s only hill station, is a world apart. Its crisp mountain air, emerald forests and serene temples create a tranquil retreat. Must-sees include the Guruvayurappa Falls, the placid Nakki Lake and the ancient Achaleshwar Mahadev Temple. Wildlife lovers will thrill to the Mount Abu Wildlife Sanctuary, where jeep safaris can bring you face-to-face with tigers, leopards and a dazzling variety of birds.
