Planning a weekend out of Mount Abu

Mount Abu is Rajasthan's only hill station, which means a weekend from it goes down rather than up — into the Aravalli forts one way, the lakes of Mewar another, and the Gujarat plain to the south.

The first twenty-seven kilometres of any trip are the ghat descent to Abu Road, and that hour is fixed whatever the map says. Factor it into both ends of the journey.

The day-trip page covers Dilwara, Nakki Lake, Guru Shikhar and the places on the plateau itself. This page is for the destinations a night away makes possible. Return fares come from the published round-trip rate card.

The City Palace along Lake Pichola, Jagdish temple in the old town, the Monsoon Palace on the ridge for sunset, and Bagore ki Haveli's courtyard performance in the evening.

How the weekend runs

Three and a half hours including the ghat. The night is what buys the two best hours in Udaipur — sunset from the Monsoon Palace and the City Palace at opening on Sunday before the boats and the crowds.

Ranakpur's Jain temple with 1,444 marble pillars, none repeated, and Kumbhalgarh's thirty-six-kilometre fort wall along the ridge, the second longest in the world.

How the weekend runs

Ranakpur admits non-Jain visitors only from noon and Kumbhalgarh is best early, which makes both in one day a gamble. A night fixes it: Kumbhalgarh at opening Sunday, Ranakpur after noon on the way home.

Mehrangarh on its rock above the blue town, Jaswant Thada, the Toorji stepwell, and Umaid Bhawan which is still partly lived in.

How the weekend runs

Five hours down from the hills into the desert edge. Mehrangarh wants a full morning, so drive Saturday, take the old city in the late afternoon, and be at the fort when it opens on Sunday.

India's largest fort by area, with seven gates climbing the hill, the Vijay Stambh, Rana Kumbha's palace, Padmini's palace and the Gaumukh spring.

How the weekend runs

Thirteen square kilometres means driving inside the fort and a half-day minimum. Five hours out plus that is a two-day trip, with the sound-and-light show taking care of Saturday evening.

The old city's pol houses and the Jama Masjid, the Adalaj stepwell north of town, Sabarmati Ashram, and the Calico Museum which must be booked ahead.

How the weekend runs

Four hours south onto the plain. The old city heritage walk starts at eight in the morning from the Swaminarayan temple, which is the single best thing to do in Ahmedabad and is impossible on a day trip from here.

A fort still lived in by several thousand people, the Patwon ki Haveli, the Gadisar tank, and the Sam dunes for the evening.

How the weekend runs

Eight and a half hours including the ghat descent. Three days at minimum, and breaking the drive at Jodhpur in both directions turns a punishing journey into a good one.

Best season: Oct-Mar 980 km billed
