Most visitors stay in Mount Abu town, about 2.5 km away, which has the full range from budget lodges and mid-range hotels near Nakki Lake to heritage properties. Jain pilgrims often prefer the dharamshalas and bhojanshala run by the managing trust (Seth Kalyanji Paramanandji Pedi) close to the temples, which offer simple, satvik accommodation and meals. Book ahead during Paryushan and the October to March peak, as the hill station fills quickly on weekends and holidays.
Almost everyone bases themselves in Mount Abu town, about 2.5 km from the temples, where the choice runs from simple budget lodges and family guesthouses to comfortable mid-range hotels clustered near Nakki Lake, plus a few heritage and resort properties for those wanting more. The town is compact, so nothing is far from a shared taxi to Dilwara.
Jain pilgrims often prefer the dharamshalas and the bhojanshala operated by the managing trust, Seth Shri Kalyanji Paramanandji Pedi, close to the complex. These offer clean, inexpensive rooms and satvik vegetarian meals in keeping with the pilgrimage. Whichever you choose, book well ahead for Paryushan, for Mahavir Jayanti and across the October to March peak and on weekends, because Mount Abu is a favourite escape for both Rajasthan and Gujarat and fills up fast.
