Nakki Lake
नक्की झील
A mountain lake in the centre of Mount Abu town, where you can go boating and stroll along the shore. The lakeside market and food stalls make this hill town's liveliest spot.
This artificial lake sits at an altitude of about 1,200 metres. Legend says the gods dug it out with their nails (nakh), which gave it the name Nakki. Pedal boats and rowboats can be rented on the lake, billed in roughly half-hour sessions. The lakeside path is about 2 km long, and the surroundings have a market, food stalls and the Raghunathji Temple. Crowds peak in the evening. You can easily walk on from here to Toad Rock and a sunset viewpoint. The lake area is open all day, and boating generally runs from daytime until evening.
Opening hours
Open all day; boating approx. 09:00–18:00
