Local risks in Mount Abu

Forest and hill fires

The district plan lists fire and forest fire between March and June, with forest areas and the Mount Abu hills among the exposed places. In April 2017 a forest fire near the tourist viewpoints burned for days and came close to homes, and Air Force helicopters drew water from Nakki Lake to fight it.

Very heavy monsoon rain

The plan records 48.4 cm of rain at Mount Abu in a single day on 14 August 1941, against 36.2 cm on the plains the same day. About 95 percent of the year's rain comes between June and September, with July and August the heaviest.

Lightning on the hills

The plan lists lightning from April to August in every part of the district. Open viewpoints, rocks and lake edges give no cover in a thunderstorm.

Road crashes

The plan lists road accidents as a risk in all parts of the district, and two national highways, 14 and 76, run through it. Visitors reach the hill station by road, so a crash is a real risk on the way up and down.

Cold nights

The plan gives Mount Abu a lowest temperature of minus 1.1 degrees and a highest of 38.3 degrees. Winter nights can be cold enough to be dangerous for elders and for anyone without proper clothing.

Stay safe: quick checklist

Save 112, 101, 108 and 100 in your phone. Teach children and elders how to use them.
Never light a fire, throw a bidi or cigarette, or leave a campfire burning in dry grass or forest, especially between March and June.
In a thunderstorm, leave open viewpoints, rocks and the lake edge, go into a building or a closed vehicle, and stay away from trees.

In heavy monsoon rain, avoid steep roads and streams in spate, and plan your drive for daylight hours when the road is clear.
On the hill road, drive slowly, keep to your lane at bends and do not overtake on a curve. Check brakes before you come down.
Cool the burn under cool, clean running water for 20 minutes. Even 10 minutes helps if that's all you can manage. No ice, toothpaste, oil or butter.
