Mount Abu is well known for the variety of rock formations in the region. The most famous of these is the Toad Rock.
Shaped like a toad, which perhaps is the reason why it is so named, the toad rock sits perched prettily on top of a hill, overlooking the Nakki Lake.
Nakki Lake is the heart of this quaint tourist destination, with people walking round the lake regularly. While they do this, they can see the toad rock keeping a benevolent eye on them wherever they go.
Some believe that it is actually named after Col Todd, an officer in the British army, who is credited with discovering Mount Abu. Over time, it has come to be known as toad rock. Its resemblance in shape to a toad could also have contributed to this.
