Climb to Mt Abu[/caption]
I was sweating like anything cycling up this slope. Mid-way, I found water in clay pots on one occasion, which was a great relief to me and water too was cool. From there, Mount Abu was about eight km. I was passing through the Mount Abu Wildlife Sanctuary but when I reached the entrance gates to the town of Mount Abu where every tourist has to pay a nominal fee for entry to the town, I found the weather a bit cooler than the city of Abu Road. A friend whom I had met during my Advanced Mountaineering Course in Darjeeling came to receive me.

I was exhausted, thirsty and very hungry but I was happy about my stamina and determination. I reached Mount Abu at 4 p.m., in a little less than four hours. Hearing of my timing, my friend and his family were quite amazed.
