As the only hill station in Rajasthan, Mount Abu has been a popular retreat from the heat of Rajasthan and neighboring Gujarat for centuries. However, the Mount Abu Wildlife Sanctuary is also a place rich in wildlife, with mammals like Leopard, Sloth Bear, Wild Boar, Chinkara, and more calling it home. Being the last known stronghold of the rare and endangered Green Avadavat, and a winter home for sought-after species like White-naped Tit, White-capped Bunting, and more, Mount Abu is also a popular destination among birdwatchers.
