Meet Winter at Abu: Discover Rajasthan’s Cool, Green Side at Sterling Mount Abu This January

When most travellers think of Rajasthan, images of golden deserts, sun-soaked forts, and warm climates instantly come to mind. Yet tucked away in the Aravalli range lies a lesser-known, charming contrast — Mount Abu, the state’s only hill station, where winter unfolds with misty mornings, forested landscapes, and a refreshingly cool climate.

This January, Sterling Holiday Resorts invites travellers to rediscover Rajasthan through a different lens with “Meet Winter at Abu”, a seasonal campaign highlighting Mount Abu as an ideal escape for festive weekends and the long Republic Day break. With winter temperatures dipping to a crisp 9–13°C at night and settling into a comfortable 22–24°C during the day, Mount Abu offers the rare pleasure of chilly mornings, sunlit afternoons, and cosy evenings — a combination seldom associated with the state.

Winter in Mount Abu brings with it a slower, more intimate rhythm. Early mornings are perfect for curling up with a hot cup of tea as the hills awaken in soft light, while daytime invites leisurely sightseeing, forest walks, and outdoor exploration without the intensity of summer heat. Evenings turn pleasantly cool, making warm winter layers a welcome companion as the town settles into quiet calm.

Positioned as Rajasthan’s coolest secret, Mount Abu appeals strongly to families and short-break travellers from Gujarat and Rajasthan, looking for an easy-to-reach hill destination that feels refreshing yet familiar — without the crowds of more popular winter hill stations.

At Sterling Mount Abu, guests can experience this seasonal charm through unhurried days and immersive surroundings. Sunset views from iconic vantage points such as Prithvi Vilas, tranquil walks through forest trails, temple visits, and peaceful, sun-drenched resort mornings come together to create a restorative winter holiday. The destination’s natural beauty — from golden-hour skies to lush green paths — is brought alive through visual storytelling that captures Mount Abu’s serene, wintertime personality.

“January is the perfect time to experience Mount Abu,” saidHarinath M, Senior Vice President – Marketing, Sterling Holiday Resorts Ltd.“With festive weekends and the Republic Day break, families can rediscover a cooler, greener side of Rajasthan in a way that feels both relaxing and memorable.”

This winter, Sterling Holiday Resorts invites travellers to rethink Rajasthan and meet winter in a place where cool mornings, pleasant days, and mountain calm come together — at Sterling Mount Abu.
