The only hill station in Rajasthan, Mount Abu is built around a
lake and is surrounded by forested hills. According to a
legend, the place derives its name from Arbuda, a serpent
who descended to the spot to rescue Shiva¿s bull, Nandi.

Mount Abu is also well known for the famous Dilwara temples

coniferous trees, flowering shrubs, lovely lakes and the
cool climate much in contrast to the arid environs of the
state.
