Eco-Tourism in Mount Abu

Eco Tourism in Mount Abu

Mount Abu is immensely popular among tourists of India and abroad, because of its amazing cool weather condition along with awesome greenery. This is the only hill station of Rajasthan state and is situated in the evergreen forest of the Aravallis. The place is immensely famous for its amazing bio diversity and the home of variety of endangered flora and fauna. To preserve the natural beauty of the region, government of India had officially declared Mount Abu and its surroundings as an eco-sensitive zone in 2009.

Thus the state government along with the district administration and forest department has taken up a humongous task of promoting tourism along with keeping the ecological balance intact. The result of this combined effort led to the development of the “eco-tourism” facilities.

Eco-tourism basically means visiting untouched and relatively undisturbed natural areas, which conserves the surrounding environment through conservation, communities and sustainable travels. Mount Abu tourism has developed two eco-tourism sites, which have outgrown its popularity among tourists in the current years.
