The lake is surrounded by hills. There are several parks around and a major tourist attraction is the strange rock formations that resemble animals they are named after.

Nobody who comes to Mount Abu leaves the place without a mandatory visit to the famous Dilwara Jain Temples. The main attraction of Abu, these temples rank amongst the finest specimens of Jain architecture in India.  Of the two temples, the Vimal Vasahi is the older one dating back to the 11th century AD. It is dedicated to the first Tirthankar, Adinath. The later Tejpal Temple is dedicated to the 22nd Tirthankar, and was built in 1230 by two brothers, Tejpal and Vastupal, both ministers of the ruler of Gujarat.  The fantastic intricacy and delicacy of the marble carvings in the temples is something that has to be seen to be believed.
