Mount Abu

       We were hoping to get into new adventure this year and to our utter surprise we were invited to this trip to Rajasthan by my sister-in-law. She organized the whole trip for us and we just had to hop on the train. Though everyone warned about the timing of our trip but in my enthusiasm for traveling I was least bothered about the weather. Our journey by the Rajdhani express was little troubled as our ticket was not confirmed even when our trip had been booked 2 months earlier. Anyhow our seats were confirmed inside the train and we had a sigh of relief. Traveling by the train was always a treat for me. Watching the trees and mountains pass by the window is a fascinating time pass for me. We reached the Abu station around 8 am in the morning. My relative was waiting there patiently for me for our arrival. He arranged for a jeep for us as Mount Abu is around 21 km from the Abu station.

         The weather here was little warm at the station and I hoped to find a cooler temperature at Mount Abu.The jeep was cruising through the roads that had been laid around the Aravalli range.The sun was blazing with heat even though it was only 9am in the morning.The forest surrounding the road was full of kikar trees and I was told that bears and monkeys were a common sight here.To our delight we were able to see some macac monkeys on the roads.Finally we did reach our hotel at around 11 am in the morning ,we rushed for bath there and our stomach were empty so luch was ordered
