Nakki Lake

Nakki Lake is situated in the heart of the city and is a great attraction with tourists. It is a magnificent lake encircled by green hills and rock formations. It is believed that the lake was dug out by gods by their nails (nakh) and hence the name "Nakki". The lake is also a pilgrimage for Hindus, as it is believed to be as sacred as the holy 'Ganga'.

Toad Rock

Rock formations abound in Mt. Abu. With rocks shaped like animals or even human beings, the resemblance is often stark. Todd rock is one of the most famous rock formations. It overlooks the Nakki Lake's cool and calm waters. It seems as if a toad is about to hop into the water. You can have a complete view of the valley from beside the rock.
