EXCURSIONS
Trevors Tank(5 km): Named after the British engineer
who constructed it, Trevors Tank is a delight for birdwatchers with densely wooded
hills that are a haven to pigeons, peacocks, and partridges.
Achalgarh(8 km) : An impressive fort with some beautiful
Jain temples enclosed within. Among the noteworthy temples are Achaleswar Mahadev Temple
(1412 A.D) and Kantinath Jain Temple (1513 A.D). The latter has a gold plated image.
Mandakini Kund and a sculpture of Parmar Dharavarsh are situated close to the Achaleshwar
Mahadev Temple. The Fort was built in the 14th century A.D. by Rana Kumbha and
is approachable by a motorable road.
Guru Shikhar(15 km): The highest peak on the mount
(1722mts above the sea level) allows a birds eye view of the sylvan surroundings of
Mt. Abu. A small Shaivite shrine and a temple of Dattatreya standing on the shikhar are
worth a visit.
