Mount Abu- The Only Hill Station of Rajasthan

So, as we promised, here is the rest of the story. If you haven't read the first part, check it out HERE

Despite not being early risers, at 8 in the morning we were at the Udaipur bus stop, and yes, we admit being a little lazy.

The bus takes you through the wide roads, small villages and dusty mountains of Rajasthan and drops you at Abu Road in about 3 hours. While you're at it, don't forget to mingle with the friendly localites of Rajasthan.

From Abu Road, we easily got a bus and reached Mount Abu in another couple of hours.

As we entered Mount Abu, we were asked to pay Rs 10 for the maintenance of the city which we thought was just another hoax but to our surprise, Mount Abu was clean and green. Also, staying in Mount Abu was no hassle, as we got a room with 4 single beds for just Rs 800 and yes, it was warm and cozy!

Warm welcome. 

Like any other Hill station, Mount Abu too had a sunset point and as you already know, a picture is worth a thousand words.

Beautiful sunset a day, keeps the sorrow away.

Fifty shades of nature. 

What's the color of the sky?

Staying a little longer than the crowd awards you with a sight like this. 

Late-night, we went to the bazaar near the celebrated Nakki Lake and it happens to be a really good place for buying artificial jewellery, colorful tunics, scarfs and souvenirs. And as food and shopping go hand in hand, don't forget to savour the good food here along with the utterly soothing Rabri.

Days and nights, are equally bright.

The next morning, we rented two bikes, got the fuel tanks filled and we were all set to scale the Guru Shikhar peak. En route, we took a halt to experience the architectural beauty of the 800 years old Dilwara Jain Temple. The white marble of this Jain temple summons you towards itself and is definitely a treat to the mind and soul of the seeker.

The carving is done with bare hands with only the help of a hammer and chisel. 

A dedication to Art and Culture.

Witness the Ancient Indian Stone Art.

Next thing we know, we were on our motorcycles, revving through the valleys and in about 45  minutes, we reached Guru Shikhar.

En Route Guru Shikhar

Guru Shikhar is the highest peak of the Aravali Ranges, situated at a height of 5700 feet, it's famous for its picturesque views and mesmerizing sunsets.

Took a halt in between to experience this. 

In the hustle and bustle of the city life, we tend to lose ourselves over the time, but while standing atop the Guru Shikhar peak we realized, no matter how big a problem may seem, we can always rise above it.

No worry seems too big from up here. 

Guru Shikhar. 

View from the top.

Stairway to the Temple.

Finding the balance. 

Fill your soul.

We didn't sleep the whole night as we had to catch a bus to Udaipur at 4'o clock in the morning and after reaching Udaipur we still had a couple of hours in our hand, so two-way ride decided to go for a camel ride.

You know how they say, it's better to be happy on a camel, than to be sad in a Lemo!

Time you enjoy wasting is not time wasted.
