- Mount Abu

DESCRIPTION

Mt. Abu :-It is about 280 Km. from Jodhpur towards the South, 4500 feet AGL, there is a launch place facing the SW near the Honeymoon point near the “Bailey’s track” there is a good clear rock with no vegetation it is ideal for a PG and hence very good for a HG. Thermals are very strong here I have flown my PG and HG here.For NE winds during winter (from October to Feb) the Launch place is near 'Guru shikhar' but this launch point is bit tricky and the one needs permission from the Radar authorities, the LZ is near Abu Road, I have not flown here during the winter season so I can not tell you much but My. Instructor has done an XC flight from there and he had a blast as he told me.A word of caution here:- Since the launch point is located near the 'Honeymoon point' on the Bailey's track which is located at a secluded place it is better one flies here with a group or has some people to assist him, there have been instances where people were robbed by the local tribesman...
