Mt. Abu

Mt. Abu was really only on our list of places to go because a friend from India said it was her favorite place she had traveled to in the whole country. Mainly it is a resort town where upper middle class Indians go on vacation. The wasn’t a ton to do there aside from walk around the lake and check out the mountain views. There was a “religion museum with a laser show.” Displays were poorly done but really comical. There is a temple there that is supposed to be the main reason for going but we didn’t end up getting to go because of our poor timing. We stayed in a converted palace that used to belong to some member of the Indian royal family. The building and grounds were pretty but the room itself had very little décor and was sort of desolate. I’m pretty sure our room used to be servant’s quarters or something. It was still pretty relaxing to be in a town where nobody hassled us.
