Actually I’m the first time writing this Blog. So basically I have no idea how to start but Let’s go to the main topic. It’s friends circle trip not a family trip.
So, if you have a circle of friends consisting of around 5-10 people ( mostly boys ) then it will be easy for arrangments.
Note : Additional expanses like ticket price of any location and other expenses not including.
First you have to fix a dates ( Approx 3 days ) that all boys are available on that days. For example, select dates in best winter season months December – January And select days like Fri,Sat, Sun or Sat,Sun,Mon or if any holiday available in that months then consider that day.
After selecting dates, Try to book advance tickets ( Including Return tickets ) of a Train. If you’re planing to book advance tickets for a 3-day trip, such as Fri, Sat, Sun, try to get the departure ticket for Thursday night and the return ticket for Saturday night. My ticket price with return ticket is around 600-700 INR. Our station and Mount Abu’s distance is approximate 300km. Try to Traveling in Night so you wouldn’t be get exhausted and you have get more time to spend and enjoy in Mount Abu.Try to get snacks ( homemade) and packets of food like chips etc.. in your bag.
Upon reaching Mount Abu, the first task is to find hotel rooms. Avoid booking online hotels as they tend to be costly. There are so many hotels and villa’s for stay. If you bargaining for 2 rooms for 8-10 people then it will be cost around 100-300 INR per person. If you’re only boys around 8-10 people, then it’s doesn’t matter the rating star of hotel, just stay , take a bath and go for explore.
Try to accommodate 4-5 people in one room, that’s all.
Day – 1
Morning
Take a morning tea with your own homemade snacks so it’s save money.
After that find a rental vehicle ( Activa ) is approximate 250-300 INR , with that you and your friend take a sit in one Activa. So per person cost around 125-150 INR. Explore places like Guru Shikhar, Delwara Temple, Arbudadevi Temple and other nearby attractions. In short all places just visit that appear in middle of the Gurusikhar. Find a budget-friendly hotel or restaurant where you can have lunch for under 150 INR. Look for options like Gujarati , Punjabi, Kathyavadi Unlimited Thali.
Evening
Return your Rented Activa first and Visit places like Nakki Lake, Toad Rock, Sunset Point, Honey Moon Point, etc.( I prefer to go to the Honeymoon Point because Sunset point has entry charges.) After that Find a hotel or restaurant and go for dinner.
Night
Explore night scenes of the beautiful place Mount Abu, Nakkhi Lake , Abu’s Market during Night walk. And then go to your hotel room and take a rest.
Day – 2
Morning
Freshen up and have tea with breakfast. Leave the hotel room, as you haven’t booked it for the second day. Also you have to carry your bag while exploring places ( It’s really not necessary to take hotel room for another day.)
Get another activa same price for two people so per person cost under 150.
Explore places like Achalgadh Fort, Wildlife sanctuary, and other places that remains to visit. Get arrange for the lunch in budget.
Evening
Return your Rented Activa and sit near the lake with your friends. Enjoy the surroundings and engage in conversation. If you have money left, consider activities like boating etc.

Head to Mount Abuand station and relax with your friends until your train arrives for your journey back home.
