Mount Abu is both a summer and winter resort with its shaded woods, sheltered temples and shrines. Situated at a height of 1200 metres in the recesses of the Aravali Hills, are the Dilwara Jain Temples exquisitely carved in marble.

DAY - 1 : ARRIVE MOUNT ABU
Your tour commences from the time of your arrival at Udaipur railway station/airport or Abu railway station from where you will be transferred to your hotel in Mount Abu (230 kms. from Udaipur and 38 kms. from Abu road railway station) for a two night stay. The rest of the day is free to relax or walk around this small hill town or enjoy boating on the Nakki Lake.

DAY - 2 : DILWARA TEMPLES
To avoid destruction, the temples were cleverly hidden behind innocuous looking entrances. Besides the pure white marble used for the construction, the temples are famous for their intricate lacelike carvings rarely seen elsewhere. Of the five temples - Vimal Vasahi, Lun Vasahi, Shri Rishabdeo, Shri Parshvanath and Shri Mahavir Swami, the first two are the most famous. Outside the main door of Vimal Vasahi Lun Vasahi, there are two statues called Devrani’s and Jethani’s goklas respectively. Another striking feature of the temple is the marble dome in the porch, which is made up of a cluster of half open lotuses, which appear to be almost transparent. The Vimal Vasahi temple is older and is also known as the first Jain temple.
This morning you will visit the temple complex and perform aarti and puja. Dilwara Temples are visited by scores of devotees throughout the year. You will be free to visit the temple complex as many times as you desire between 1200 to 1800 hrs (0700 to 1200 hrs reserved for Jains).
 

DAY - 3 : MOUNT ABU
A "must visit" is Ranakpur Jain Temples (200 kms). Known for its 1114 intricately carved pillars, not one resembles the other – architecturally a marvel. The highest point in the Aravalis is the Guru Shikhar ( 15 Km- at 5,653 ft) and is marked by a cave temple where the holy ash, solemnly collected by pilgrims, is said to materialize miraculously.
