Mount Abu Camp Sites for Tourists

Mount Abu Camp Sites for Tourists


The day after Diwali, Mount Abu is like the burning Olympic flame, only here it does not attract the athletes, but the Gujjus from Gujarat. It drew them to Abu like the moth to the flame. A steady stream of non-ending vehicles winds its way up this enthralling mountain. This continues for a complete week nonstop. Tourists that have advance booking have nothing to worry about; those who have moved up this hill without any booking are indeed brave souls. Abu at this time of the year is crammed; locals have a heyday as they oblige the tourists by renting out personal rooms in their homes at a premium, and nothing is spared, they make even space in jeeps use of. Abu gears up for this maddening rush by utilizing every asset that it owns, government agencies pitch tents like the Scouts personnel and the forest department. To make life exciting for the youth, the forest department has opened up a “Wilderness campsite Auro Adventures” en route to Gaumukh. The scouts have pitched tents on their lower and upper ground by the name of “Camper Adventure” for families. Tourists interested in utilizing these camping sites have to get in touch with the head of these departments. My suggestion to our guests who make their way up to our Paradise is to please make sure you have your booking well in advance or be prepared to be ripped off. This Paradise could turn into quite hell if they do not prepare you for the worst. Also, note the temperature drops quite low after sunset, so bring along some warm clothing for yourself and your family. Wishing all Guests a Very Happy Diwali Season and “A Joyous Happy New Year” from us folks from the Abode of the Gods.
