Quick Tip: How to Beat Motion Sickness on the Mount Abu Ghat Road

If you're planning a trip to Mount Abu, Rajasthan's only hill station, you'll love the cool air and green Aravalli views. But the drive up involves a long stretch of winding ghat road, and if you're prone to motion sickness, those curves can turn a scenic trip into an uncomfortable one. Here's a simple, practical tip you can use on your very next trip.

Why the Ghat Road Feels Different Unlike Rajasthan's flat desert highways, the road to Mount Abu climbs steadily through continuous curves. This constant turning is exactly what triggers nausea for many travellers, especially those sitting in the back seat where the motion feels more exaggerated.

The Front Seat Advantage One of the easiest fixes is simply sitting in the front passenger seat. It gives you a clearer view of the road ahead, which helps your inner ear and eyes stay in sync. Facing forward, rather than looking sideways or down at a phone, reduces the mismatch that causes discomfort.

Time Your Meals Right Avoid a heavy or oily meal right before starting the climb. A light snack an hour or two before departure is a safer bet. Staying mildly hungry isn't ideal either, so aim for something simple and easy to digest.

Fresh Air Matters More Than You Think A slightly open window helps regulate airflow and can genuinely reduce nausea. If the AC is on full blast with no fresh air circulation, it can sometimes make things feel more closed in, especially on a long winding stretch.

Sip, Don't Gulp Keep a bottle of water handy and take small sips through the journey rather than large gulps. Staying lightly hydrated helps, but overdoing it can add discomfort on a curvy road.

How Vega Tours & Travels Makes the Climb Easier Our drivers are familiar with the Mount Abu route and its pacing, and we're happy to accommodate seating preferences or short breaks along the way when needed. A comfortable, well-paced drive makes a real difference on this kind of route.

My take: if you or anyone in your group gets travel sick easily, don't leave it to chance — request the front seat in advance and eat light before the drive. It's a small adjustment, but it's the difference between arriving at Mount Abu relaxed and arriving queasy. For families or couples planning this trip, book a car that can pace the ghat road properly rather than rushing it.
