Overview

Tour overview

The Udaipur and Mount Abu tour package is a four-day journey through the Mewar heart of Rajasthan, pairing the lakes and palaces of Udaipur with the cool marble-temple hill of Mount Abu. You begin in Udaipur, the City of Lakes, with its grand City Palace on the shore of Lake Pichola, the carved Jagdish Temple close by and the fountain garden of Saheliyon ki Bari, and a sunset boat on the lake is included in the package. A full day then takes you out to the great Mewar country: the mighty hill fort of Kumbhalgarh with its long rampart wall, the serene Ranakpur Jain temples, and the historic battlefield of Haldighati. From Udaipur you drive up into the hills to Mount Abu, the only hill station in Rajasthan, where the exquisite Dilwara Jain temples, Nakki Lake, Toad Rock and the famous Sunset Point await. The whole loop is by private car, so the drives are short and the days unhurried. It is a relaxed route for couples, families and first-time visitors, and an easy, gentle introduction for NRI and overseas travellers flying in through Udaipur.

The Udaipur and Mount Abu tour package brings together two very different sides of Rajasthan in four easy days: the romantic lake city of Udaipur and the cool hill station of Mount Abu, with the great forts and temples of Mewar in between. The whole trip is by private, air-conditioned car with a driver, so the distances stay short, the days are relaxed, and you never face a long, tiring haul.

Udaipur, the City of Lakes. Your base for the first two nights is Udaipur, founded by Maharana Udai Singh in 1559 and built around Lake Pichola. The huge City Palace rises straight from the water, and you visit it along with the tall carved tower of the Jagdish Temple and the cool fountain garden of Saheliyon ki Bari. The moment most travellers remember is a boat on Lake Pichola in the late afternoon, gliding past the island palaces as the light turns gold, and that boat ride is included in your package. Udaipur is gentle and romantic, and a fine place to begin.

A day among the Mewar forts. One full day takes you out into the countryside for three very different sights. Kumbhalgarh is a vast hill fort in the Aravalli range whose perimeter wall runs for about 36 kilometres, which is why it is often called the Great Wall of India, and its ramparts give superb views over the hills. Ranakpur is one of the most beautiful Jain temples in India, a forest of finely carved marble pillars, no two quite alike. Nearby lies Haldighati, the mountain pass where Maharana Pratap made his famous stand against the Mughal army. It is a long, rewarding day, so you start early and carry water.

Mount Abu, the hill of marble temples. From Udaipur you climb about 168 kilometres, roughly four hours, up a winding ghat road to Mount Abu, the only hill station in Rajasthan. The air is cool and the pace slows. The jewel here is the group of Dilwara Jain temples, carved from white marble between the eleventh and thirteenth centuries with a delicacy that is hard to believe until you stand inside. You also visit Nakki Lake for a boat or an easy stroll, the balancing Toad Rock above it, and the Sunset Point where the whole hillside gathers to watch the day end. Mount Abu is also home to the Brahma Kumaris headquarters, which many travellers like to include. Evenings here are cool even in summer, so a light jacket is welcome.

Who this trip suits. The package is a comfortable choice for couples, for families with children or grandparents, and for first-time visitors who want lakes, forts and temples without long travel days. It is an easy loop for NRI and overseas travellers too, flying in through Udaipur and keeping the drives short. The best months are October to March, when the lakes and forts are at their finest; Mount Abu also stays pleasantly cool through the summer, though Udaipur is hot then. Please remember that Dilwara and Ranakpur are living Jain temples, so cover your shoulders and knees, remove leather items, and note that photography is not allowed inside Dilwara.

Your package includes your hotels, daily breakfast, the Lake Pichola boat ride and the air-conditioned car with driver, tolls and parking. Every detail of hotels, sightseeing and pace can be shaped to you, so tell us your dates and who is travelling, and we will tailor the Udaipur and Mount Abu tour around you.

Day by day

Day-by-day itinerary

A carefully paced plan, day by day. Tap any day for the stay, meals and altitude detail.

Your journey begins in Udaipur, the City of Lakes. On arrival at the airport or railway station, our representative meets you and takes you to your hotel to settle in.

Once you are refreshed, you set out to see the city. You begin at the grand City Palace, which rises straight from the shore of Lake Pichola, along with its museum of Mewar royal history. Close by stands the Jagdish Temple, a large seventeenth-century temple with fine carving, and the cool fountain garden of Saheliyon ki Bari, the Garden of the Maidens. You also see the vintage and classic car collection of the Mewar royal family.

In the late afternoon you take a boat on Lake Pichola, the moment most travellers remember, gliding past the island palaces as the light softens over the water. Overnight in Udaipur.

After an early breakfast you set out for a full day among the great sights of the Mewar countryside. It is a long and rewarding day, so you leave in good time and carry water.

You first reach Kumbhalgarh, a mighty hill fort in the Aravalli range whose perimeter wall runs for about thirty-six kilometres, which is why it is often called the Great Wall of India, and its ramparts give wide views over the hills. You then visit Ranakpur, one of the most beautiful Jain temples in India, a forest of finely carved marble pillars where no two are quite alike. Please cover your shoulders and knees and leave leather items outside, as it is a living temple. On the way lies Haldighati, the mountain pass where Maharana Pratap made his famous stand.

You return to Udaipur in the evening, with time left for the bazaars if you wish. Overnight in Udaipur.

After an early breakfast you drive up to Mount Abu, the only hill station in Rajasthan. The road climbs about one hundred and sixty-eight kilometres, roughly four hours, ending on a winding ghat road into the cool green hills. On arrival you check in and rest for a short while.

Then you set out to see Mount Abu. The jewel here is the group of Dilwara Jain temples, carved from white marble with a delicacy that is hard to believe until you stand inside. Do note that they open to general visitors only in the afternoon and that photography is not allowed within, so cover your shoulders and knees and plan the timing with your driver. You also see the balancing Toad Rock, and gather with the crowd at Sunset Point to watch the day close over the hills.

In the evening you visit Nakki Lake, set in an old volcanic crater, where you can take a gentle boat ride on the water. Overnight in Mount Abu.

After a relaxed breakfast, and perhaps a last stroll in the cool hill air, you check out from your hotel.

Our representative then transfers you to Udaipur airport, or to the Udaipur or Abu Road railway station, in good time for your onward connection. This is where a memorable journey through the lakes, forts and marble temples of Mewar comes to a gentle close.

Travel tips

A Mewar lakes-and-hills guide for first-time and NRI travellers

Udaipur and Mount Abu

The lakes and palaces of Udaipur, the great Mewar forts, and then up into the cool hills of Mount Abu with its marble Dilwara temples. Here is what to know before you travel and while you are on the road.

OCTOBER TO MARCHLAKES TO HILLSPALACES, FORTS, TEMPLESBY ROAD THROUGH MEWAR
01Season

When to make this Udaipur and Mount Abu loop

The comfortable window is October to March, cool and clear for the lakes, the forts and the marble temples. Mount Abu, as a hill station, also draws summer crowds from April to June.

  • October to March for lakes and fortsThese are the pleasant months for a sunset boat on Lake Pichola and for the open ramparts of Kumbhalgarh. December and January nights are cold, and Mount Abu in winter is colder still, so carry a warm layer for the evenings.
  • Mount Abu stays cool in summerAs the only hill station in Rajasthan, Mount Abu fills with families from April to June when the plains are fierce. If you travel then, Udaipur will be very hot by day, so do the city and the forts early and enjoy the cooler hill air in the afternoon.
  • Plan the Dilwara visit for its open hoursThe Dilwara temples admit general visitors only in the afternoon and do not allow photography inside. Shape your Mount Abu day around these hours, which are covered in detail in the Mount Abu section below.
This is a road tour through Mewar

You travel by private car. The climb from Udaipur up to Mount Abu is about 168 km and roughly four hours on a winding ghat road, so keep motion-sickness remedies handy if you are prone to them.

02Palace and lakes

The City Palace, the lakes and the old city

Udaipur is the great City Palace on Lake Pichola, the island palaces on the water, the Jagdish Temple and ghats of the old city, and the gardens and hilltop sunsets around them.

  • The City PalaceThe largest palace complex in Rajasthan, a maze of courtyards, balconies, mirror-work and zigzag corridors above Lake Pichola, built by 22 generations of the Mewar house from 1559. Allow a few hours and a guide to read the Mewar story. The complex entry, the City Palace Museum and the Crystal Gallery are separate tickets, set out in the costs section below.
  • Lake Pichola, Jag Mandir and the Lake PalaceA boat from the City Palace jetty glides past the white Lake Palace hotel and stops at the Jag Mandir island palace, where Shah Jahan once took refuge. Time it for the late afternoon or sunset for the classic golden view of the city rising from the water.
  • The old city, Jagdish Temple and ghatsThe lanes around the towering Jagdish Temple, Gangaur Ghat and Hanuman Ghat are made for a slow wander, past miniature-painting studios, silver and craft shops, and rooftop cafes looking over the water to the palace.
  • Gardens, Fateh Sagar and the Monsoon PalaceThe Saheliyon ki Bari fountain garden, the broad Fateh Sagar lake with its island Nehru Garden, and, for the finest sunset of all, the hilltop Sajjangarh (Monsoon Palace) over the lakes and the Aravallis. The vintage and classic car collection near the palace is a fun, easy stop.
The Lake Palace is a hotel, not a sight

The dreamlike white palace in the middle of Lake Pichola is the Taj Lake Palace, a luxury heritage hotel on Jag Niwas island, so you cannot simply visit it. Admire it from the shore or the boat, or come as a dining or staying guest. The same is true of the Jagmandir island restaurant, which is for guests and diners. Plan a sunset boat for the view rather than a visit inside, and note the Taj has flagged guest rooms under renovation from about late April to late September 2026.

03The lake at golden hour

A sunset boat on Lake Pichola, then a folk-dance evening

The defining Udaipur experience is a sunset boat on Lake Pichola, the palaces glowing gold on the water, followed by the Dharohar folk-dance show. Get the timing right and it is unforgettable.

  • Take the boat at sunsetThe Lake Pichola boat leaves from the Rameshwar Ghat jetty inside the City Palace and cruises past the Lake Palace to Jag Mandir island, where you step off for about half an hour. The sunset ride is the one to book, dearer than the daytime ride; buy it at the City Palace counter and confirm the sunset slot, as the whole excursion runs about two hours.
  • Pick the right evening showTwo shows are easy to confuse: the City Palace Mewar Sound and Light Show in its courtyard, and the one-hour Dharohar folk-dance show at Bagore ki Haveli on Gangaur Ghat, daily about 7 pm to 8 pm. The Dharohar dance, with its Rajasthani folk and the famous balancing act, is the local favourite, and the cheaper, warmer of the two.
  • Or take the sunset highOn another evening, swap the lake for the hill: drive up to the Sajjangarh (Monsoon Palace) for a sweeping sunset over the lakes and Aravallis, or take the Karni Mata ropeway from Doodh Talai up to the Machla Magra hilltop for a quick aerial view. Both are covered in the costs section.
  • Dine by the waterEnd with dinner at a lakeside rooftop looking across to the lit City Palace, a simple, magical Udaipur evening. The old city around Lal Ghat and Hanuman Ghat is full of rooftops, and a kulhad rabdi or a Rajasthani thali by the lake is the easy, lovely choice.
The one evening not to rush

If you do only one thing slowly in Udaipur, make it the sunset on the water and the show that follows. The light going gold on the City Palace from a boat on Lake Pichola, then the lamp-lit Dharohar dance an hour later, is what people remember long after the museum and the shopping fade. Give yourself an unhurried late afternoon and evening, confirm the sunset boat slot earlier in the day, and the city opens up in a way a quick stop never allows.

04Beyond the city

Kumbhalgarh, Ranakpur and the Mewar forts

Around Udaipur lie some of Rajasthan's finest heritage: the mighty Kumbhalgarh fort with its Great Wall, the exquisite Ranakpur Jain temple, Chittorgarh, and the Shrinathji and Eklingji temples. A day-trip routing and a couple of rules make them work.

  • Kumbhalgarh fort and the Great WallAbout 85 to 90 km and two to two and a half hours away on hill roads, Kumbhalgarh is a UNESCO Hill Fort of Rajasthan, its perimeter wall running about 36 km and often called the Great Wall of India, among the longest in the world. Allow the morning here, and check the evening light-and-sound show timing if you stay nearby.
  • Ranakpur Jain temple, and the noon ruleAbout 90 km from Udaipur and roughly 50 km on from Kumbhalgarh, the marble Ranakpur temple with its 1,444 carved pillars is one of India's most beautiful. The catch that breaks many day plans: non-Jain tourists are admitted only from about noon to 5 pm, the morning being reserved for worship. So do Kumbhalgarh first, Ranakpur after noon.
  • Chittorgarh, or Nathdwara and EklingjiChittorgarh fort, the old Mewar capital and the site of the Padmini legend and the jauhar, is about 115 km away and a full day in itself with its own evening light-and-sound show. Closer in, Nathdwara (Shrinathji, about 48 km) and Eklingji (about 22 km) are devotional temples, easily paired on one road.
  • Dress and devotion rulesRanakpur asks for shoulders and knees covered and bars all leather items (belts, wallets, shoes) inside. Shrinathji and Eklingji enforce a strict no-phone and no-camera rule and open only for fixed darshan slots, not all day, so leave electronics in the car and plan around a slot.
Which one fort if you only have a day?

Travellers on the Udaipur forum split between Kumbhalgarh and Chittorgarh. Kumbhalgarh pairs beautifully with Ranakpur for a scenery-and-architecture day, but the hill roads are slow. Chittorgarh is a single, story-rich fort closer to the main highway and easier as a standalone day, especially if you continue towards Jaipur or Bundi afterwards. Decide by whether you want two sights and mountain views (Kumbhalgarh and Ranakpur) or one deep historical fort (Chittorgarh).

05The marble masterpiece

The Dilwara temples, and how to visit them right

The Dilwara Jain temples are the reason many people come to Mount Abu, and the place most plans go wrong. Non-Jain visitors are admitted only in a fixed afternoon window, entry is free, and no cameras or phones are allowed inside. Here is how to do it properly.

  • The afternoon-only window for touristsMornings at Dilwara are reserved for Jain worship and rituals. Non-Jain visitors and sightseers are admitted only in a fixed afternoon window, commonly given as about 12 noon to about 5 pm. This is the single most common ruined plan in Mount Abu, so build your day around it and reconfirm the exact current timing with the Delwara temple trust or your operator before you go.
  • Free entry, but no cameras or phones insideThere is no entry ticket; visiting the temples is free. But photography is strictly prohibited inside, so cameras are not allowed and phones are best left at the cloakroom or in your vehicle. This catches photographers out, so plan for it rather than being turned away at the door.
  • Leather off, shoulders and legs coveredRemove all leather items, including belts, bags, shoes and leather wallets, before entering, take your footwear off, and dress modestly with shoulders and legs covered. These are living places of worship, and the rules are enforced at the gate, not waved through for tourists.
  • What you are looking atFive marble temples, of which the 11th-century Vimal Vasahi and the 13th-century Luna Vasahi are the masterpieces: ceilings, pillars and lotus carvings cut so thin the marble is almost translucent. A guide arranged outside brings the detail to life, and unhurried is the only way to see it.
Plan the day around Dilwara, not the other way round

Because non-Jain visitors only get the afternoon window and cameras are banned, do your Guru Shikhar, Achalgarh and morning sightseeing first, then arrive at Dilwara in the afternoon with your camera left behind. Jain pilgrims have the separate morning access for worship. If you are unsure of the day's timing, your hotel or operator can reconfirm it for you the night before.

06Lake, peaks, fort and sanctuary

Nakki Lake, Guru Shikhar, Achalgarh and the sanctuary

Beyond Dilwara, Mount Abu is Nakki Lake in the centre, Guru Shikhar and Sunset Point for the views, Achalgarh fort and the wildlife sanctuary on the slopes. A few of these have fees worth knowing in advance.

  • Nakki Lake and boatingThe lake at the heart of town has no entry fee. Boating is the draw: pedal boats around 50 to 100 rupees per person and shikara-style boats around 100 rupees per person for a ride of roughly half an hour, running roughly 9:30 am to 6 pm, with seasonal closures to reconfirm at the counter. It is an easy walk from most hotels and the place everyone gathers at dusk.
  • Guru Shikhar, the highest peakAt about 1,722 metres, Guru Shikhar is the highest point in Rajasthan and the Aravallis, about 15 km out. A flight of roughly 300 steps leads to the Guru Dattatreya temple at the top, with wide views. Come on a clear winter morning, and dress warm, because it is cold up there early in the day.
  • Sunset Point and the viewpointsSunset Point is the classic dusk gathering, a short shared-jeep ride or walk from town, busy and carnival-like with stalls and pushed-cart rides for those who would rather not walk the slope. Honey Moon Point, also called Anadara Point, nearby is a quieter alternative for the same sunset.
  • Achalgarh fort and Achaleshwar MahadevAbout 11 km north, Achalgarh fort was rebuilt by Maharana Kumbha in the 15th century; just below it the 9th-century Achaleshwar Mahadev temple holds a naturally formed Shiva lingam and a large brass Nandi, with the Mandakini tank and its stone sculptures alongside. It slots neatly into a Guru Shikhar day.
  • Mount Abu Wildlife SanctuaryThe forested Aravalli slopes around town form the sanctuary, with Guru Shikhar as its highest point. Reported charges vary, commonly an entry of about 300 rupees per person plus about 600 rupees per person for a jeep safari, though some sources quote a lower entry, so confirm at the gate; open roughly 9 am to about 5:30 pm. Leopard, sloth bear, sambar and rich birdlife live here.
Fees and timings shift, so reconfirm

Boating rates, the sanctuary entry and safari charge and the various viewpoint and parking fees are revised from time to time and can vary by season. The figures here are current and approximate, and the sanctuary charge in particular is reported inconsistently online, so reconfirm at each gate or counter on the day and budget a little extra for camera and vehicle charges at the sanctuary.

07The spiritual headquarters

The Brahma Kumaris world headquarters, and how to visit

Mount Abu is the global headquarters of the Brahma Kumaris, a worldwide spiritual movement. The campuses, museum and Peace Park welcome visitors. It is a place of practice, so visit it as such rather than as a tick-box sight.

  • What is hereThe headquarters area, Madhuban, includes the Om Shanti Bhawan assembly hall built in 1983, the Pandav Bhawan, and the Gyan Sarovar and Shantivan campuses, along with the World Renewal Spiritual Museum and the Global Hospital and Research Centre. It is the worldwide centre of the movement, not a local branch, which is why so many overseas members visit.
  • Peace ParkA landscaped recreation and meditation garden a few kilometres out, between Achalgarh and Guru Shikhar, with lawns, flower beds and quiet corners. It is open to the public and a calm, family-friendly stop, included on most sightseeing rounds, and a pleasant break between the hill viewpoints.
  • Visit it respectfullyThe museum and Peace Park are easy public visits. The residential campuses welcome those genuinely interested in meditation and the teachings; if you want to attend a session or stay, arrange it in advance through the organisation rather than turning up expecting a guided tour.
A quiet counterpoint to the sightseeing

Even if the teachings are not why you came, the campuses and Peace Park are a calm, well-kept contrast to the busy lake and viewpoints, and they help explain why Mount Abu has a gentler, more reflective feel than most Rajasthan towns. Dress modestly, keep your voice down in the halls, and follow any photography signs, and you will be made welcome.

08What it costs

Udaipur costs: the four City Palace tickets and a daily budget

The City Palace is several tickets, not one, and the boat and shows are separate again. Here is what the main things cost, sourced, so you plan and avoid overpaying.

  • The City Palace, ticket by ticketPlan on about 30 rupees for adults and about 15 for children for basic complex entry, about 400 rupees for adults and about 150 for children for the City Palace Museum, about 550 rupees for adults and about 350 for children for the Crystal Gallery, about 200 rupees for a still camera (about 500 for video), and about 250 rupees for the vintage and classic car visit. Decide which you want and buy the combination at the counter; the complex is open about 9 am to 9 pm.
  • The lake boat and the showsThe Lake Pichola boat, on the jetty operator's current card, is about 600 rupees for adults and about 300 for children by day, and about 800 for adults and about 450 for children at sunset (an older listing still shows about 400 and 700 for adults, so confirm at the counter). The Bagore ki Haveli Dharohar dance show is around 125 rupees for adults and about 75 for children, while the City Palace English sound-and-light show runs about 200 rupees for regular seats and about 500 for premium.
  • The sunsets and gardensThe Sajjangarh (Monsoon Palace) is about 120 rupees for Indians and about 500 for foreigners, plus about 338 rupees for a four-wheeler up the hill; the Karni Mata ropeway is about 116 rupees per person; and Saheliyon ki Bari is around 30 rupees for Indians and about 150 for foreigners. The Jagdish Temple is free.
  • A rough daily budgetExcluding your room and long-distance transport, plan on about 1,500 to 2,500 rupees a day as a budget traveller, about 4,000 to 7,000 mid-range, and more for a palace meal and a private car. A local Hindi-speaking guide at the City Palace is around 300 rupees, and a worthwhile addition to read the Mewar story properly.
Buy your palace and boat tickets together

The single habit that saves time and money is to buy the City Palace complex entry and the boat ticket together at the counter on the same visit, since the complex ticket is generally valid for the day and you reach the jetty through the palace. Decide in advance whether you want the museum, the Crystal Gallery, the boat and the car visit, so you buy the right combination once rather than queueing twice. Cash and cards both work at the counter, but carry some cash for autos, tips and the bazaar.

09The road route

How the road route works, stop by stop

This tour runs by private car with a driver: Udaipur as your base for two nights, a full day out to the Mewar forts, and then the drive up to Mount Abu.

  • The Kumbhalgarh and Ranakpur day is longThe full day out from Udaipur takes in the mighty Kumbhalgarh fort, the Ranakpur Jain temples and the battlefield of Haldighati. Start early, carry water, and cover your shoulders and knees for Ranakpur, which is a living temple with dress and camera rules.
  • The drive up to Mount AbuFrom Udaipur it is about 168 km and roughly four hours, ending on a climbing ghat road into the hills. The cool air is a real relief after the plains, and you arrive with the afternoon free for Dilwara or the lake.
  • Gentle but full daysThe distances are easy, but each day is full, so we keep an early start and build in rest for senior travellers rather than rushing the last sight.
10NRI and foreign travellers

Planning Mount Abu from abroad

Mount Abu is a cool, green counterpoint to desert Rajasthan and the world headquarters of the Brahma Kumaris. A little planning around the gateways and the Dilwara rules makes it smooth.

  • Get the gateway rightThere is no airport or railway in Mount Abu. Fly into Delhi or Mumbai, connect to Udaipur, about 165 km, or Ahmedabad, about 220 km, and drive up; or take a train to Abu Road and a taxi up the ghat. Always budget the road leg into the hill, as it is never a short hop.
  • Plan around the Dilwara windowThe Dilwara temples open to non-Jain visitors only in a fixed afternoon window, commonly about 12 noon to about 5 pm, entry is free, and no cameras or phones are allowed inside, with leather to be removed. For an overseas photographer this is essential to know in advance, so keep your sightseeing for the morning.
  • The Brahma Kumaris connectionIf the global Brahma Kumaris headquarters is part of why you are coming, the museum and Peace Park are easy public visits, and longer meditation stays are arranged in advance through the organisation. Many overseas members come specifically for this, so it is worth planning ahead if it matters to you.
  • Pair it with UdaipurThe most rewarding overseas loop pairs Mount Abu's cool hills with Udaipur's lakes and palaces, an easy road pairing and a gentle contrast to the desert cities. A good operator handles the transfers and the Dilwara timing so the hill station slots in without fuss.
11NRI and foreign travellers

Planning this Mewar loop from abroad

Udaipur and Mount Abu are a rewarding, gentle loop for overseas and NRI travellers, with short drives and a good mix of lakes, forts and temples.

  • Fly in to UdaipurUdaipur has its own airport at Dabok, about 22 km from the city, with connections through Delhi and Mumbai. Starting and ending at Udaipur keeps the drives short and the loop easy after a long flight.
  • Dress and photography at the templesDilwara and Ranakpur are living Jain temples: cover shoulders and knees, remove all leather items, and note that photography is not allowed inside Dilwara. Carry socks, as stone floors are warm in the sun.
  • Carry your OCI card and pace the fortsAn OCI cardholder generally pays the Indian rate at monuments, so carry the physical card. Kumbhalgarh is a big climb, so we keep the pace gentle and build in rest for elders.
For the road

Lake, fort and marble

Udaipur mirrors its palaces in the water, and Mount Abu keeps the cool and the carved marble of Dilwara.

Take the lake at sunset, give the forts an early start, and let the hill air of Mount Abu slow you down. Cover your shoulders for the temples and carry a warm layer for the evenings.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

The most comfortable months are October to March, when the days are pleasant for the lakes and the open forts and the nights are cool. Mount Abu, as a hill station, also stays pleasant through the summer, though Udaipur is hot from April to June.

Four days work well, and that is how this tour is planned: two nights in Udaipur for the city and the Mewar forts, then a night in Mount Abu for the Dilwara temples and the lake. It is an unhurried loop with short drives.

Mount Abu is about 168 kilometres from Udaipur, roughly four hours by road, ending on a winding ghat road up into the hills. On this tour you travel the whole route by private air-conditioned car with a driver.
