Mount Abu’s New Tourist Attraction

Mount Abu’s New Tourist Attraction, floated by Mars Enterprise





Mount Abu’s New Tourist Attraction, floated by Mars Enterprise, At the beginning of this month Mount Abu inaugurated.“The Tethered Helium Balloon”. I really don’t know if it has had its maiden flight. As of the moment, it seems grounded. I believe the formalities towards the aviation department have yet to be met.

If it has anything to do with the differences between the Forest Department and that of the Municipality regarding permission of allowing this operation of going through then it could take a while as these two departments don’t see eye to eye. Like the Salgoan Dam project that was sanctioned aeons ago, but is still lying in limbo.

The place where the balloon is parked right now is the same spot that was made into a musical park years before for the entertainment of the tourists. It was a lovely spot, but somehow it seems to be jinxed and the musical park, with all its lovely lights and sounds, faded away like the mist that visits this lake regularly. I really wonder how long this present project will last, guess as long as it ropes in enough dinero and is workable.

 The tariff for an 8 minute spin to a height of about 350 feet is Rs300/- almost a buck per foot, pretty steep and for a child its goanna be Rs 200/-. Tourists know that you are to buy your ticket in advance and only mount the podium after 20 individuals have bought tickets. Your waiting period would amount to the ratio and volume of visitors on a particular day. Take your time to read the rules and regulations carefully.

Muharram Mount Abu

Being a government holiday I had to make my way to an ATM to withdraw some dinero. While at the ATM I was fortunate to witness the colourful Muharram procession led by our esteemed police personnel. They have to preside at all processions taken out by various religious groups throughout the year to see that no wanton  activities take place that could disturb the peace and tranquility of this place. To know more on Muharram I’m directing you to this link ---Muharram
