Nakki Lake is one of the most popular attractions in Mount Abu, which is nestled in the heart of the area, and is surrounded by beautiful viewpoints, gardens, and vibrant markets. The Dilwara Jain Temples, also located in the hill station, are also very interesting for their elaborate and intricate marble carvings as well as the remarkable craftsmanship. There are opportunities for visitors to visit viewpoints like Sunset Point and Honeymoon Point, take nature walks, and see the variety of flora and fauna of the area. The spiritual aspect is also evident in Mount Abu, with the headquarters of the worldwide organization of the Brahma Kumaris and other historic temples. Boating on Nakki Lake, watching the marvellous sunsets, visiting ancient temples and hiking through the Aravalli hills all make Mount Abu a relaxed fusion of nature, culture, adventure and spirituality.
