Diwali @ Abu


Countdown has begun!!!....

All the hoteliers are busy enough to get the maintenance done before the season, market is on the high rush, shopkeepers and vendors are setting up to add up new things for this festival....

Lots over is done here to celebrate the festival, to add a new taste for this season, everyone out here is rushing down to complete their maintenance just before the festive week.

The tourist season in Abu, is one of the best and the longest season that is to be observed in a year. The season starts from the next day of Diwali and last for almost a week. This season is most important for everyone here is because lacs of tourist comedown for a small vacation, as if in Gujarat, they observe a complete close, that adds a benefit to the place.

The whole city is well decorated, well illuminated with many events down the whole week to keep the tourist fully entertained during their stay at Mount Abu. Many troops are invited to perform like different kind of road shows, stage shows, folk dance, and above to that, many activities are done involving the tourist like skating race, tug of ware to keep them in the mood of the festival.

The city gets overcrowded around 5 to 7 times its capacity of availability of food and shelter. The hotels rates are the highest this season, prior booking before visiting Abu is must, because it happens, tourist lands up without reservation and finds no accommodation at any cost and is helpless and have no option rather then sleeping in his car or rent a place in a corridor without a pillow.

The fireworks round the city is a add on the beautiful ambiance created. It is a lifetime experience, that having a ice cream in one hand, and on the other your camera to catch all the beautiful moments around.

So do come down and feel the season, the festival which is celebrated with thousands together, just confirm your reservation and feel the noise of crackers with thousands smiles.

Wish U A very Happy Diwali and a happy New Year !!!!!!
