Adventure Tourism : Trekking
Lying
in the west of India, the topography of Rajasthan varies from sand-dunes
of the desert to the lofty hill ranges of the Aravallis which makes
Rajasthan a trekker's paradise.
There are many beautiful
meadows, dense forests, crystal lakes, waterfalls and rivulets meandering
through the countryside. One of the old eat mountain ranges of the world,
the Aravallis, extending from northeast to south-west have some beautiful
forest areas. Mount Abu, about 1300 mts. above sea level is an ideal
locale.
Kumbhalgarh is another area in the Aravallis which is
also good for trekking. Kumbhalgarh is just 90 kms from Udaipur off the
Udaipur-Pali- Jodhpur Road. Trek upto the historic Kumbhatgarh fort. There
is also a wildlife sanctuary. The famous Jain temples of Ranakpur are
close-by.
Trekking routes in Mount Abu, Kumbhalgarh and Rawali
Tatgarh are not restricted to any particular area. The entire mountain
system offers exciting trails which originate at starting points spread
over the entire length and breadth of the Aravallis. OneCan trek from Abu
Road to Guru Shikhar (highest peak of Aravali),Thandi Beri to Kumbhalgarh
fort or Ranakpur to

The
best time for trekking in Rajasthan is from November to February. But
mid-September to end of October and March-April is also pleasant. There is
ample space for camping under starlit nights or in the Dak Bungalow and
Forest Rest House depending on the tourist's preference.
