Jodhpur to Mount Abu Taxi

Two main highway routes connect Jodhpur and Mount Abu. The more commonly travelled route runs via Pali and Sirohi, following National Highway 62 and State Highway 16 through relatively well-maintained roads. An alternative route passes through Jalore, adding scenic variety though it may take slightly longer depending on traffic and road works. Both routes offer their own perspectives on rural Rajasthan, passing through agricultural land, small villages and gradually rising terrain as you approach the Aravalli range.

The climb into Mount Abu begins around Abu Road, where the road winds upward through twenty-seven kilometres of forested hillside with numerous hairpin bends. This final ascent requires careful driving, particularly during monsoon months when mist and rain can reduce visibility. Early morning departures from Jodhpur work well, allowing you to reach Mount Abu by midday with time to settle in and explore. Evening departures are less popular due to the challenging hill drive after dark.

Pali, located roughly seventy kilometres from Jodhpur, serves as a convenient refreshment stop with decent roadside eateries and facilities. The town has historical connections to Rajput clans and textile manufacturing. Further along near Sirohi, you'll find local restaurants serving Rajasthani thalis and snacks. These stops break the journey comfortably, particularly appreciated by families travelling with children or elderly passengers requiring regular breaks.

Some travellers choose to visit the Jain temples at Ranakpur if taking a slightly modified route, though this adds considerable distance and time to your journey. Abu Road, the town at the base of Mount Abu hill, offers basic facilities and is your last opportunity for fuel before the ascent. The climb itself provides numerous viewpoints where drivers can pause briefly for photographs of the surrounding plains and distant hills stretching toward Gujarat.

Mount Abu serves as Rajasthan's premier hill station, distinctly different from the state's desert cities. Nakki Lake forms the social centre of town, surrounded by walking paths, boat hire services and casual dining options. The Dilwara Temples, built between the eleventh and thirteenth centuries, showcase extraordinary marble craftsmanship with intricate ceiling carvings that draw architecture enthusiasts and pilgrims alike. Sunset Point and Honeymoon Point offer panoramic views across forested valleys, particularly beautiful during the clearer months between October and March.

The hill station maintains a cooler climate year-round, with winter evenings requiring light woolens and monsoons bringing substantial rainfall. The town has developed considerably for tourism, with hotels ranging from budget lodges to heritage properties. Local markets sell woolens, handicrafts and the region's distinctive stone work. The peaceful atmosphere and moderate temperatures provide welcome contrast to Rajasthan's plains, making Mount Abu popular for both brief escapes and longer stays.

One-way taxi bookings suit travellers continuing to Gujarat or those planning to return by different means. Round trip arrangements prove more economical when you intend to return to Jodhpur, as return fares typically offer better value than two separate one-way journeys. Multi-day bookings allow your vehicle and driver to remain available in Mount Abu for local sightseeing to places like Guru Shikhar, Achalgarh Fort or the Wildlife Sanctuary, before your return journey.

Most visitors spend two to three days in Mount Abu to see the main attractions comfortably. Round trip bookings can be structured with the vehicle returning to Jodhpur immediately or waiting for your entire stay, depending on your preference and budget. Fares are quoted based on your specific requirements including vehicle type, trip duration, and whether driver accommodation is needed for multi-day stays.
