Route, Road & Distance Guide
The Jodhpur–Mount Abu route runs through Sirohi and Abu Road town before the final climb up the Aravalli plateau. The plains section is flat and fast, while the last stretch involves a steady, well-engineered hill road with a series of gentle switchbacks.
Typical Route Breakdown
- Jodhpur to Sirohi (~200 km, ~3.5 hrs): A smooth highway stretch through Pali and Jalore districts.
- Sirohi to Abu Road (~30 km, ~45 min): A short connecting stretch leading to the base of the hill climb.
- Abu Road to Mount Abu (~28 km, ~1–1.5 hrs): The scenic ghat road climb, gaining nearly 1,200 metres in elevation with forested views throughout.
Total drive time usually falls between 5 to 6 hours, including short stops. The hill road is well-maintained but has continuous curves, so our drivers naturally take it at a measured, comfortable pace.
Best Time to Travel This Route
Mount Abu's elevation (around 1,220 metres) means it stays noticeably cooler than Jodhpur year-round, which is exactly its appeal.
| Season | Months | What to Expect |
|---|---|---|
| Winter (Best) | October – March | Crisp, cool weather, occasionally near-freezing at night — carry warm layers. |
| Summer | April – June | Pleasantly warm days, a welcome relief from Jodhpur's desert heat — peak tourist season. |
| Monsoon | July – September | Lush green hills and waterfalls, though the ghat road can see occasional mist and light rain. |
If you are escaping summer heat, April to June is when Mount Abu is at its busiest and most popular. For quieter sightseeing, aim for October to March.
