Mt Abu Treks
As well as being the local snake-catcher, Charles from Mt Abu Treks arranges tailor-made treks ranging from gentle village visits to longer, wilder expeditions into Mt Abu Wildlife Sanctuary. He’s passionate and knowledgeable about the local flora and fauna. Treks include a three- to four-hour trek (Rs280 per person); a half-day (Rs380); a full day including lunch (Rs610); and an overnight village trek including all meals (Rs1250). The sanctuary entrance fee is included in the prices, but if you want to delve deeper into the jungle and require a taxi to the trail head, this will be an additional cost.

Shri Ganesh Hotel
The staff at Shri Ganesh Hotel also organise excellent short treks (Rs200 per person) into the hills. There’s a trek in the morning at 9am, and one to see the sunset starting at 3pm. The routes vary and the level of difficulty depends on the fitness of the group. It’s common to spot bears and other wildlife.

Boating
To enter into the spirit of things on Nakki Lake, you can do as the honeymooners do and hire a pedalo (2-/4-person boat per 30min Rs 50/100), or, for the especially romantically inclined, a gondola-like shikara loveboat (2-person boat per 30min Rs 100).

Pony Rides
Those travelling with small children will doubtless be pressured into purchasing pony rides from the stand one road back from the lake, for a slow but scenic stroll along the water's edge.

Roller-Skating Rink
The town has a roller-skating rink. Beware the honeymooners on wheels for the first time, whizzing uncontrollably at high speed towards you.
