Mount Abu is a place of peace, or retreat. It’s no surprise that the best activities here are leisurely.

Travelers looking for more activities in Mount Abu can try the archeological museum. Several items at the museum date back to around the eighth century AD. Being the only hill station in Rajasthan, Mount Abu’s green scenery provides a contrast to the heated red and amber hues of the Rajastani landscape.
