Mount Abu, the only hill station of Rajasthan is in the Godwad region of
Rajasthan. Undulating Aravallis on one side and semi-arid plains on the other,
makes this area even more interesting. An important Jain pilgrimage centre, it
is also very popular with holiday makers and honeymooners. The flowering trees
and shrubs make this region a nature lover's paradise. Not very far from here
are the famed jain temples of Ranakpur. Built in the 15th century, these temples
are very well preserved and attract thousands of tourists every year.
