Dargah and historic route

A 1954 historical travel guide describes an old route from Chandravati to Mount Abu via Santpur and Umbarani. Even then, it was considered almost entirely out of use since the construction of the new bus route and Abu Road railway station. It is therefore a historical reference, not a current route recommendation.
