An Escape into the Aravalli Forests at Sterling Mount Abu
Sterling Mount Abu is an elegant 4-acre property in the Aravalli range, set amid the virgin forests that surround Rajasthan's only hill station. The 69-room property blends modern comforts to stay in harmony with its setting, offering spacious rooms of up to 609 sq. ft. with private balcony sit-outs that look out over the Aravalli hills and forests. It is a considered choice for a resort in Mount Abu for family holidays.
The resort's rarest feature is its own private entry into the forest, reserved exclusively for guests and ideal for jungle walks in a region known for the green Munia, named for its light olive-green wings. Beyond the gate, Nakki Lake (2.7 km) draws visitors for boating and evening strolls, and the 11th-century Dilwara Jain Temples (3.4 km) reward a visit for their intricate white marble carvings, with Guru Shikhar (15 km), the highest peak in the Aravallis, crowning a day of sightseeing.
Whether you are looking for a forest stay during a family trip or a cool, green retreat from the plains of Rajasthan, Sterling Mount Abu pairs genuine Aravalli wilderness with Sterling's signature hospitality.

Know MoreBest Time to Visit
Summer (March – June)
Summer is the peak season and, for most travellers, the best time to visit Mount Abu, when temperatures of roughly 23°C to 36°C feel dramatically cooler, making it ideal for boating on Nakki Lake, sunset points and long forest walks in the early hours.
Monsoon (July – September)
The monsoon season turns the Aravalli hills intensely green, with temperatures generally between 20°C and 30°C and mist drifting through the forests. Crowds thin, seasonal streams run and the landscape is at its most photogenic, though trails can be slippery, so plan hikes and jungle walks with care.
Winter (October – February)
October and November bring crisp, clear days that are excellent for sightseeing. From December to February, winter turns genuinely cold at around 5°C to 25°C, with the coldest nights dipping close to freezing, drawing visitors for the chill, the Winter Festival and misty mornings over the hills.
For the most comfortable weather and the clearest Aravalli views, plan between October and November or February and April. Book early for summer holidays and the Christmas and New Year period when Mount Abu is at its busiest and carry warm layers if you are visiting between December and February.
