Mount Abu : This holy mountains lies at the southern extremity of the Aravalli range. Surrounded by forests rich in flora and fauna, the town appears as an oasis. The drive uphill along Abu Road overlooks an arid region strewn by huge rocks with smooth surfaces and weird shapes, fashioned by high velocity winds.

The altitude of this plateau, 1220 metres and abundant vegetation, have endowed Abu with a pleasant climate. It is a resort as well as a celebrated place of pilgrimage. Abu, according to legend, stands for the son of Himalaya, deriving its name from Arbuda, the powerful serpent who rescued Nandi, the sacred bull of Shiva, from a chasm. Yet another legend explains how the lake at Mt Abu got its name. It is believed that the gods formed the lake-bed by digging it with their fingernails-'nakh' - hence Nakki Lake.
