Mount Abu
An oasis in the barren desert land in Rajasthan, Mount Abu is situated 1,720 m above sea level. During the period of the Maharaja's, Mount Abu was used as a place of leisure by the royalties and semi-royalties. The place presents an interesting contrast of British style bungalows and holiday lodges of the royals with various tribal communities residing amidst the thick lush forest on the hills surrounding the region. The flora and fauna enjoys the adulation of the tourist to the fullest. The highest point of the Aravali is the Guru Shikhar with a vast sanctuary that shelters a number of species like langur, wild boars, Sambar, leopards and many more along with a number of flowering plants and trees, which enhance the beauty of the whole scenery.

3: They have ignored Ranikhet and Nainital. They are better than Manali, Dehradun (Mussoorie - Dehradun is only a valley), Shillong and Ooty anytime. Gulmerg is better than Srinagar.
