A PARADISE WITHIN PARADISE MT.ABU

A Paradise Within Paradise: Mt. Abu


Yesterday, Mt. Abu experienced a stunning transformation with our first passing showers. It felt like the gods had turned on nature’s air conditioning. Clouds draped the sky, a cool breeze swept through the hills, and the weather turned refreshingly chilly by late evening.

Today, the magic continues. The entire atmosphere is heavenly, like a paradise within a paradise. I can only hope that this delightful spell holds for a few more days; it would be a real bonus for us locals, or as we call ourselves, ‘Abuites.’

I couldn't resist the urge to grab my dependable camera and capture the stunning beauty of Mt. Abu in this magical weather. Here are a few snapshots frozen in time. Hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed taking them!
