March to May (Summer): Abu still 30°C vs Jaisalmer 45°C, still cooler, but dry. Avoid May afternoon ghat heat.
Start early morning always, avoid night ghat in fog Dec-Jan.
Which Car for Ghat Section?
Sedan: Can go but struggles on ghat with 4 pax + luggage, AC may cut. Okay for 2-3 pax budget.
Ertiga/Innova: BEST for ghat — powerful engine, good brakes, high ground clearance, rear AC for hill.
Hycross: Hybrid silent on ghat, best comfort.
We never send CNG cars to Abu — low power on climb.
