Mount Abu Wildlife Sanctuary, established in 1960, spans 288 square kilometers of the Aravalli hills, making it a vital refuge for wildlife in Rajasthan. Visitors can trek through dry deciduous forests and bamboo thickets, spotting leopards, sloth bears, wild boars, and langurs. The sanctuary is also a birdwatcher's paradise, with species like crested serpent eagles, grey junglefowl, and paradise flycatchers. Distinctive features include the ancient Guru Shikhar peak (the highest in Rajasthan) and serene spots like Trevor's Tank and Nakki Lake within the sanctuary.
