Nakki Lake is a lake situated in the Indian hill station of Mount Abu in Aravalli range.
Geography
The lake is about half a mile in length and about a quarter of a mile in width, and 20 to 30 ft. deep towards the dam on the west. It is an important tourist attraction of Mount Abu. There is Toad Rock on a hill near the lake. Toad Rock is so called as it looks like a toad about to jump into the lake, from the side of the rock facing the lake. There are two ways to go up and down the rock; to climb the rocky hillside or to use the steps leading down to Nakki Lake. By the side of the lake there is a path leading to Sunset Point. It is forbidden to climb to Sunset Point due to wild animals such as bears and leopards roaming around the path to Sunset Point. Raghunath Temple and Maharaja Jaipur Palace are also on hills near the Lake. Boating in the lake and horse rides around the lake are available.
Mahatma Gandhi’s ashes were immersed in this Holy Lake on 12 February 1948 and Gandhi Ghat was constructed.
