THE Jilwara Jain Temple

The Jilwara- and Gur Shikhar temples were beautiful and intricately carved, both of them Hindu and on top of the highest mountain of Rajastan, 1721 m. altitude and a full 20 km. hike up from Mount Abu. Fortunately we found several snack- and soft drink places up there after our exhausting hike up. A friendly Indian with a ramshackle old car offered us a hitch back to Mount Abu which we greatfully accepted.
