A Green Munia plaque was inaugurated by the DFO Sirohi Sangram Singh Katiya on this occasion. Every year wildlife awareness week which lasts from 1 Oct to the 7 of Oct is taken very seriously by the folks of this small hill station.

Large-scale changes have occurred during the last few decades. Mount Abu jungles were once impenetrable and substantial areas were pretty impossible to explore. Tigers which roamed freely were hunted down by the elite. Their natural habitat was destroyed and their source of food dwindled resulting in their disappearing from this area. The last tiger reported in Mt.Abu was placed in the year 1970.

Wildlife Week Mt.Abu

Today Abu boasts of only a handful of Leopards. Sambar which was plentiful is today almost a lost cause. Very few have been strong enough to survive the onslaught of Modernisation and the degradation of their native environment. The only marked improvement in its population is the sloth bear. The presence of vegetational composition and availability of water Highly suits bears and it is one of the best sloth bear areas in the world.

I do not have the latest statistical data of the wildlife census, of  the animals found here but as soon as I get them I'll post them

Attention Tourists: Important Updates for Your Mount Abu Trip This Week

If you’re planning to visit Mount Abu this week, here are some important updates you should know:

First, because of Gandhi Jayanti on October 2nd, all liquor and meat shops in Mount Abu will be closed for the day. Keep in mind that alcohol could be scarce and pricey if you were expecting to have a good time at a hillside party. It’s a good idea to either hold off until the next day or enjoy the local events with a sober point of view.

However, there’s more to consider. A local strike, or “bundh,” has been called by the Mount Abu community on October 3rd, meaning that many businesses and services will be unavailable on this day as well. So if you’re planning on making the most of Mount Abu’s vibrant atmosphere, adjust your schedule.

If you want to enjoy Mount Abu’s hospitality, we advise you to postpone any party plans until after October 3rd. In the meantime, you can still take in the natural beauty, the serene surroundings, and the cultural richness of this unique hill station.

May you find security in your journeys and joy in your discoveries! 

Clarion Call to All Abuites!

The residents of Mount Abu have gathered countless times to voice their concerns and present valid objections regarding pressing local issues.

Post-Monsoon Blues Have Begun

The post-monsoon blues are here, and they’re hitting hard. The local newspapers have announced that drinking water will be provided only twice a week, for one hour each time. This means tough times ahead for us Abuites, with baths limited to twice a week and precious water becoming an even rarer commodity.

Come mid-summer, water tankers will be in high demand, and prices will skyrocket—no ice for the crock, indeed. It’s shaping up to be a challenging year for Mount Abu.

Are any soothsayers out there willing to gaze into their crystal balls and predict what the future holds for “The Abode of the Gods”? We’d love to hear your thoughts. Share your insights in the comment section below.

Mount Abu Toll Naka Fraud exposed2 22 Sept 2018.

Fraud nexus exposed at Mount Abu Toll barrier.

Reality or an Illusion Mount Abu Toll Naka.

More than one lakh was collected by the Anti-Corruption Bureau from workers during a recent search at the Mount Abu Toll Naka. The ACB Bureau has received complaints concerning mismanagement by the people assigned to this position. 

This operation showing the relationship between the employees and manning the entry of motor traffic into Abu comes as no surprise to us Abuites. Abuites are relieved that action has been taken and that this heinous unlawful collecting lining these people's coffers has been revealed.

Inquiries are being conducted to determine the scope and depth of this criminal duplication of the money nexus. 

The main problem is that when unaccounted money exceeds 100,000 rupees on a regular day, it's difficult to predict they exchanged how much on weekends and holidays when thousands of people come to Abu.

We'll keep you updated when new information becomes available.

 Down to earth for Abuites.

To survive the onslaught of the coming,

SUMMER.

As the monsoons in Abu conclude by the end of September, with only an occasional shower lingering into early October, we must prepare for what comes next. The Rajasthan Government, along with local authorities, must develop a comprehensive action plan for effective water resource management. 

Abu needs to address the ongoing water mismanagement and repairing the leaks in our existing reservoirs. Construing new dams is essential to meet the demands of our growing population. The concerned citizens of Abu have put forth countless proposals and recommendations, only to be met with the government’s slow response. It’s high time that we, the residents of Abu, take a stand and push the authorities to pay serious attention to the challenges we face.

I’ve heard through the grapevine that our household water supply will soon resume, but with significant restrictions. We may receive water every three days, and if the situation worsens, this could extend to every four days.

This is a heartfelt appeal to both tourists and fellow Abuites: Please take care not to dispose of garbage or waste into our precious Nakki Lake—it is our lifeline. During the summer months, especially in times of drought, the water from Nakki Lake sustains our homes. Let’s work together to protect this invaluable resource for the sake of our community’s future..
