Guru Shikhar
Around 15 km away from the city this is the guru shikhar. the
highest peak of the mount abu is also perhaps the beautiful. There is certain
serenity about the temple built atop this peak. The Temple might just have
steeped out of a fairy tale with only a small portion in pink jutting out of an
otherwise plain white chalk building. . Inside is a shrine of Dattatreya, an
incarnation of Lord Vishnu while outside, a little distance from its door, is a
huge brass bell, which stands as a sentinel overlooking the lush greenness of
Mount Abu. The view from Guru Shikhar, especially at dawn, is marvellous.
