Nakhi Lake (Mount Abu)

India / Rajasthan / Mount Abu
 lake, boating, pond
The legendary lake is a shinning 'jewel' of the Abu hills. It is said that the lake was dug out by the nails(nakh) of the God's and thus the name Nakhi. The town of Mount Abu forms an amphitheatre around the charming lake, dotted with little islets. It is considered to be the only artificial lake in the country, at an attitude of 1200 mts. above sea level.

The embankments of the lake are dotted with magnificent summer villas of various erstwhile princely states of the country. Most of them have been converted into Heritage hotels and guest houses.
