Flash trip to Achalgarh Mount Abu

Birding in Mount Abu


A former friend and school mate dropped into Abu for the weekend, he's a keen photographer and loves trekking. After seeing my snaps of the birds and the photographs of Bera he made a beeline for this Abode so he could persue his love. He did get some lovely snaps of birds.Walter a class mate of his also accompanied us on the trip to Achalgarh. I aslo got some some great snaps have a Deekoo!

November Rain Mount Abu

November Rain Mount Abu

The rainfall in India is variable, but now it seems the timing of the rains has also taken on a fickle stance. We are at the fag end of November and are still experiencing a monsoon type of climate. I have inserted a widget of the weather conditions for Mount Abu, from that alone one can see we are still going to be at the mercy of the rain gods. The night temperatures over the last few days have dropped drastically. I believe it went as low as 4 degrees C. Today I slipped on my rain gear and went out to experience the cool crisp and misty atmosphere of the Abode. Took some random snaps, have a look.
