Day by day

Day-by-day itinerary

Day 1

UdaipurPrivate transfer

Your driver meets you at Udaipur’s airport, about 25 km north-east of the centre, or at the railway station, and takes you to the hotel. Nothing is fixed for the rest of the day. If you arrive with daylight to spare, the lanes around the lake are the obvious first walk, and they cost nothing. Sightseeing proper starts tomorrow, so an early night is no loss.

Day 2

UdaipurPrivate vehicle

The day starts at the City Palace, the long run of courtyards and terraces above Lake Pichola, and continues to the Jagdish Temple, built in 1651 and still in daily use. After lunch the car goes north to Saheliyon ki Bari, the fountain garden laid out by Maharana Sangram Singh II, and to Fateh Sagar. A boat on Pichola towards sunset closes the day; tickets are bought at the jetty and sailings depend on the operator. Sajjangarh, the 19th-century hilltop palace, is included if time allows.

Day 3

Udaipur to Mount AbuOvernight Mount AbuPrivate vehicle

A road day with an evening at the end of it. Leave after breakfast for the drive of about 165 km; we allow about four hours, the last part on the hairpin road that climbs from Abu Road. After check-in and a late lunch, the afternoon goes to Nakki Lake — a boat if you want one, then the short climb to Toad Rock. If the light and your energy hold, the car runs you to Sunset Point for dusk.

Day 4

Mount AbuPrivate vehicle

The order of the day is set by the temples, which admit visitors only from noon. So the morning goes to the high ground: Guru Shikhar, about 15 km out, with roughly 300 steps up to the summit shrine, then Achalgarh and the Achaleshwar Mahadev temple on the way back. You reach Dilwara for the midday opening and take the five marble temples slowly, Vimal Vasahi and Luna Vasahi above all. No photographs are allowed inside. The evening is yours.

Day 5

Mount Abu to UdaipurPrivate vehicle

After an early breakfast the car goes back down the hill and across to Udaipur, again about four hours, and drops you at the airport or the railway station. The airport lies on the far side of the city from the Mount Abu road, so the drop takes longer than the drive alone. Please book a departure from mid-afternoon onward and send us the ticket; we set the morning start against it when we quote.

Good to know

Frequently asked

Yes, for the main sights of both. Udaipur gets one full day and Mount Abu one full day plus an arrival evening. What the trip does not have is slack: day 3 and day 5 are largely on the road. If you would like a slower Udaipur, add a third night there and the rest of the route stays as it is.
About 165 km each way, and we plan on about four hours with a break. That is our working assumption, not a guarantee: traffic on the climb from Abu Road, weather in the monsoon and holiday weekends can all add time. The same drive is repeated on the last day, which is why your departure should be from mid-afternoon onward.
The day is built for it. Visitors who are not there to worship are admitted from noon, so we do Guru Shikhar and Achalgarh first and arrive at Dilwara as it opens. Hours are set by the temple trust and can change on religious occasions; we confirm the current timing when we quote. Photography is not allowed inside.
The time for both is in the itinerary, but the tickets are not in the price. You pay at each jetty, which lets you choose the kind of boat and the sailing you prefer on the day. Boats run at the operators’ discretion and may be suspended in bad weather or when lake levels are low.
One more layer than Udaipur needs. Mount Abu sits at about 1,200 metres, and from November to February its mornings and evenings are cold. In the monsoon, bring a waterproof and shoes with grip for the steps at Guru Shikhar. For Dilwara and the other temples, dress modestly; shoes come off at the entrance.
