Positioned in the northwestern area of India, Mount Abu is a mountain region that has been a tourist destination since the time of British colonial rule. Known for its rich cultural history and scenic views, Mount Abu is home to sacred Hindu temples and wildlife sanctuaries. Though a number of mountain resorts are in the city of Rajasthan, visitors can also stay on the southern side of the mountain in the village of Ambaji.
Located in the heart of Rajasthan, the Osian Sand Dunes Resort and Camp offers visitors to the Mount Abu region a unique camp experience. Guests stay in one of 21 luxury tents, each featuring a fully equipped bathroom. Despite these unorthodox accommodations, the resort is home to a restaurant featuring traditional Indian cuisine, as well as conference and event facilities. Activities offered at the Osian Sand Dunes Resort and Camp include nightly campfires and dancing, Jeep safaris, camel safaris and picnic lunches. In addition, this resort arranges overnight safaris in the Thar Desert, complete with temporary tents and prepared meals. The Osian is near the Sachiya Mata temple and the Surya temple, and less than 10 miles from the Mount Abu Wildlife Sanctuary.

Visitors may also stay in the Siyava Valley's dorm-style accommodations or tents. Other amenities at this resort include a swimming pool, a volleyball court and an on-site restaurant and bar. In addition, guests can opt for a yoga and meditation experience with the resort's yoga expert. The Siyava Valley Resort is within walking distance of the Ambaji Temple and the Gujrat Border.
