Faridabad to Mount Abu Taxi Service
Mount Abu is Rajasthan's only hill station, and the contrast after days of desert driving makes Nakki Lake and the Dilwara Jain Temples feel like a genuinely different trip from the rest of a Rajasthan itinerary.
Route Overview
Faridabad to Mount Abu Taxi for Nakki Lake and the Dilwara Temples
Nakki Lake sits at the centre of Mount Abu, ringed by hills and popular for boating — a genuinely cooler, greener setting than most of what a Rajasthan trip otherwise looks like.
The Dilwara Jain Temples, known for marble carving detailed enough that it's hard to believe it was done by hand, sit just outside the main town and are among the more remarkable sights in this part of the country.
Given how far south Mount Abu sits within Rajasthan, this route from Faridabad is a long one, and treating it as a multi-day trip rather than a rushed visit makes the whole journey considerably more manageable.
The drive covers NH-48 through Behror and Kotputli before continuing past Jaipur, with the remaining stretch further south into Rajasthan toward Mount Abu covering considerable additional distance.
Because this is genuinely Rajasthan's only hill station, the climate shift on arrival is real — noticeably cooler than the desert plains passed through earlier in the drive, which is part of why the destination has stayed popular for generations.

Places to Visit
Top Attractions in Mount Abu
- Nakki Lake — Ringed by hills at the centre of Mount Abu, this lake is popular for boating and offers a noticeably cooler, greener setting than most of Rajasthan. Walking the path around its edge in the evening, once the day's heat has faded, tends to be the most pleasant time to visit.
- Dilwara Jain Temples — These temples are known for marble carving detailed enough that it's difficult to believe it was done entirely by hand, sitting just outside the main town. The intricacy of the ceilings and pillars rewards a slow, close look rather than a quick walk-through.
- Guru Shikhar — As the highest peak in the Aravalli range, this viewpoint offers wide views across the surrounding hills and plains from Mount Abu's elevated position. It's a short drive from the main town, and clear days give the best chance of seeing far into the distance.
Good to Know
Best Time to Travel and Road Notes
Best season: October to March brings the most comfortable temperatures for exploring both Nakki Lake and the Dilwara Temples, since Rajasthan's summer heat extends even to Mount Abu's relatively higher elevation. Monsoon adds a different, greener character to the hills, worth considering for travellers less concerned about occasional rain.
Road note: This is a genuinely long drive, and NH-48 traffic near Jaipur in particular can slow progress unpredictably. Drivers experienced with this route build in buffer time and plan for a multi-day trip rather than attempting the full distance quickly.
Cab Choices
Cab Options for Mount Abu
SUV or Innova options are recommended for Mount Abu because the route is long and passengers often carry holiday luggage. Tempo travellers can be considered for larger family groups.

- AC works consistently through the drive, which matters more here than on most other routes given how hot the plains get.
- Drivers on this route know the highway well and can suggest a sensible halt if the day runs long.
