Mount Abu rains update: Mt Abu receives continuous rainfall from yesterday [ 16/08/2019 ]

Mount Abu's first monsoon casualties 

The road going to Gurushikar 

Barricade set up en-route Gurushukar

Owing to the continuous and incessant rain, a part of the road going up to Gurushikar near Veerbapji Mandir collapsed. Luckily, no vehicle was plying at the time or there could have been a mishap. They shut the road down to traffic to determine the extent of the damage. After putting up safety barricades, the authorities allowed the traffic to continue via the safer side. 

A car that was heading towards Abu Road shot off the road near Chippaburry and plunged into the valley below. They rushed the police and ambulance services to the spot. They then rushed the five victims to the hospital, some in sad shape. Will keep you all updated as events unfold here at Mount Abu.

Yesterday all evening, there was a buildup of heavy clouds. Late at night, it began raining and by early morning it poured. Streams of Abu began gushing, and the waterfall was a delight to see. The much-awaited nectar of life brought relief to the Abuites, and the trees swayed, beckoning the falling rain.

The Rain Gods opened the floodgates around midnight Mount Abu

Abuites Rejoice, for there is the sound of the gushing and roaring of heavy showers. 

Go out and dance to the rain dance.

The rain gods have come to a calling. 

Last night, the rain fell in torrents after midnight. The steam within two hours became a roaring and raging mini river in spate. We had to move our bikes from the garden to the road because of heavy rain and overflowing water. At 2:30 am we had some hot chai to celebrate the event of the gods giving this place the water of life.

It's Friendship Day. I wish all from this oasis in the desert a Thrilled FRIENDSHIP DAY.

Southwest monsoon is finally active over Mount Abu.

Last night, until this morning at 8 am Mount Abu, had 7 inches of rain.

Gurushikar Mount Abu

Last night it rained steadily, with heavy showers on and off. All the streams in Abu flowed, and it was a breathtaking sight. Abuites from all parts of Abu clicked snaps, took videos of the surroundings and posted them on shared media like YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp. On the way to Gurushikar, there was a landslide, and thankfully, it wasn’t very serious. The car itself got battered. 

At the moment, Abu is overcast, and the mist is heavy. The visibility later in the evening can be daunting, tourists driving up the hill drive carefully.
