Romantic Things to Do in Mount Abu for Honeymooners

Mount Abu stands apart from the rest of Rajasthan, as the state’s only hill station. It brings in crisp weather, forested trails, and lakeside views that feel made for two. This small but scenic town offers old-world charm. There is so much to do here, whether it’s spending hours admiring temple architecture, slow walks, or hilltop sunrises. Mount Abu offers couples the space and stillness to wind down after the chaos of wedding festivities. Here’s a list of experiences that make it an unexpectedly romantic getaway.

1. Boat Ride on Nakki Lake

Nakki Lake in Mount Abu is a must-visit gem nestled in the Aravalli hills. Surrounded by trees and quirky rock formations, it’s especially charming in the early evening when the light turns soft and golden. Couples can hire a paddle or rowboat and circle the small lake at their own pace. On the lakeside, small cafés and benches give you room to pause and watch the world go by.

2. View the Sunset from Honeymoon Point or Sunset Point

Mount Abu has two well-known viewpoints – Sunset Point and Honeymoon Point. While both offer sweeping views of the Aravallis, Honeymoon Point tends to be less crowded and more peaceful. The short walk to the top passes through forests and open ridges. Once there, couples can take a seat on the rocks and watch the landscape gradually turn orange and gold. It’s simple, scenic, and surprisingly intimate for a public spot perfect for catching your breath together.

3. Morning Walk at Peace Park

Peace Park, maintained by the Brahma Kumaris, is less touristy and more meditative. Couples can take a quiet walk along the shaded paths, explore the cactus garden, or sit in one of the many benches that overlook the hills. The landscaping is beautiful without being fussy, and there’s a noticeable sense of calm here. It’s ideal for slow mornings when you don’t want a packed agenda but still want to spend time outdoors.

4. Visit the Dilwara Temples Together

The Dilwara Temples are a short drive from the town centre and make for a quiet mid-morning visit. The temples were built between the 11th and 13th centuries. These Jain temples are famous for their marble carvings – floral patterns, dancing figures, and domes that seem impossibly light. While not “romantic” in the usual sense, the calm, cool interiors and craftsmanship make this a special shared experience. It’s one of those places where you naturally lower your voice and slow your steps because you are awestruck by the energy of the temple.

5. Picnic or Stroll in the Forest at Trevor’s Tank

Trevor’s Tank is a man-made reservoir surrounded by forested paths, around 5 km from Mount Abu town. It’s a good option for couples who enjoy being outdoors without a strict itinerary. The area is home to peacocks, langurs, and occasionally crocodiles in the water. A short trail leads to viewpoints where you can sit, snack, and watch the hills roll out in front of you. It’s more of a half-day slow adventure than a major sight.

6. Candlelight Dinner at a Heritage Hotel

Mount Abu has several heritage hotels housed in colonial-era bungalows or old palatial estates. Places like Palace Hotel, Bikaner House, or Connaught House serve evening dinners in candlelit courtyards or garden spaces. The ambience is quieter than city hotels, and the food is mostly Indian or continental. For honeymooners looking for a private moment without the crowds, this is a relaxed and thoughtful way to wind up the day.

7. Visit the Mount Abu Wildlife Sanctuary

For couples who enjoy nature, the Mount Abu Wildlife Sanctuary offers something different from the forts and lakes. It’s home to sloth bears, jungle cats, and over 200 species of birds. More than the wildlife, it’s the open terrain and cool air that make it ideal for a few hours of walking and conversation. Several guided and unguided trails are available depending on your energy level. It’s not high-adrenaline, but that’s not what you’re after anyway.
