[Meengla]

it sometimes snows in mount Abu, Rajasthan.

Not sure it snows in Mt. Abu but its a gorgeous place! My ancestry is from Rajasthan and I still have close relatives there...not far from Mt. Abu... Been there a few times...

Gorakh cant much Murree or even Mt. Abu in scenery, water related beauty and greenery but Gorakh does provide a pretty place as relief from the SCORCHING heat of Sindh plains.... I'd invest in Gorakh tourism if had spare money!! There is a HUGE demand for such place in Sindh!
