The trip
Mount Abu is Rajasthan’s only hill station, sitting at about 1,220 metres in the Aravallis — and for most of Gujarat it is the nearest place that is genuinely cool in April. That alone fills it every summer.
The reason to go, though, is Dilwara. Five Jain temples built between the 11th and 13th centuries out of white marble carved so finely that parts of it are translucent. There is nothing else quite like them in India, and photographs are not allowed, which turns out to be the right decision.
From Rajkot it is roughly 470 km and eight hours, so four days is the sensible shape: a day up, two on the hill, and a day back with Ambaji on the way down.

FAQ
Common questions
How much is the Mount Abu tour package from Rajkot?
From ₹17,000 for four days in a sedan and ₹36,000 in a tempo traveller. That covers the vehicle, driver, fuel, tolls, the Rajasthan permit and taxes for the whole trip. Hotels and meals are arranged by you.
How long is the drive from Rajkot to Mount Abu?
About eight hours for roughly 470 km, through Ahmedabad and Palanpur, with the ghat climb from Abu Road at the end. It is a full day, which is why the itinerary gives it one.
When is the best time to visit Mount Abu?
For weather, October to March — cool and clear, and genuinely cold in December and January. April to June is the busiest because the rest of Gujarat is escaping the heat, so it is pleasant but crowded and hotels cost more.
Is the Rajasthan interstate permit included?
Yes. The fare covers the permit and taxes, so there is nothing to settle at the border. The hill station vehicle toll at Abu Road is included too.
