The short answer
When to go to Mount Abu
November to February brings the most pleasant daytime temperatures, though nights are cold; this is the easiest season for visiting the Dilwara Temples and Nakki Lake. July and August bring Rajasthan's heaviest rainfall and a real landslide risk on the ghat road up the mountain, so travel is best avoided then. The single winding access road can cause motion sickness, so older travellers should sit in front, eat lightly beforehand, and confirm their hotel has lift or ground-floor access given the hilly terrain.
