沙漠中的绿洲 An oasis in the desert

印度拉贾斯坦邦阿布山

阿布山（Mount Abu）是拉贾斯坦邦唯一的山地站，海拔1722米，被阿拉瓦利山脉（Aravalli Range）郁郁葱葱的绿色山丘环绕，为人们提供了急需的缓解拉贾斯坦斯坦酷热天气的方法。它被称为“沙漠中的绿洲”，因为它的高度是河流、湖泊、瀑布和常绿森林的家园。

阿布山由部落社区的乡村住宅和豪华住宅（包括英式平房和皇家度假屋）组成，五彩缤纷，在这个沙漠之州，阿布山似乎不亚于一个奇迹。除了风景优美之外，该地还有几座印度教和耆那教寺庙，包括Arbuda Devi Temple、Shri Raghunath Temple、Dilwara Temple等。您还可以参观附近的阿查尔加尔堡、纳基湖和德鲁迪亚瀑布。

Mount Abu, Rajasthan, India

Providing much-needed relief from the blazing heat of Rajasthan, Mount Abu, the state’s only hill station, stands at a height of 1,722 meters above sea level and is embraced by the lush green hills of the Aravalli Range. It is referred to as 'an oasis in the desert as its heights are home to rivers, lakes, waterfalls, and evergreen forests.

Studded with a colorful mix of rustic abodes of tribal communities and posh houses inclusive of British-style bungalows and royal holiday lodges, Mount Abu appears to be no less than a wonder in this desert state. Other than its scenic beauty, the place is home to several Hindu and Jain temples, including Arbuda Devi Temple, Shri Raghunath Temple, Dilwara Temple, and more. You can also visit the Achalgarh Fort, Nakki Lake, and Dhrudiya Waterfalls that are nearby.
