About Sunset Point
Sunset Point is a viewpoint about 2 km from Nakki Lake, on the south-western edge of Mount Abu. From the road, a walk of about 1 km on a paved path leads to the rocks, where you look out west over the Aravalli hills and the plains below. Horses and carts are also offered for the walk.
Watching the sunset here is a daily ritual for visitors, and the rocks fill up well before the sun goes down. Snack and tea stalls line the path, and the mood is lively rather than peaceful, especially on weekends and in the summer season.
