Why We Curated This Specific Route
This is the most scenic road trip in Rajasthan. We designed this 4-day itinerary to connect the two most distinct royal regions—Marwar (Jodhpur) and Mewar (Udaipur)—while maximizing the travel day.
The “Great Wall” En Route: Instead of a boring highway drive, we take the scenic route through the Aravalli hills to show you the Ranakpur Jain Temple (1,444 marble pillars) and Kumbhalgarh Fort (Second longest wall in the world) on the way to Udaipur.
Contrast of Colors: Experience the stark, blue-painted desert city of Jodhpur on Day 1 and transition to the lush, white-marble lake city of Udaipur by Day 3.
Complete Royalty: You visit the two most impressive palaces in the state: Umaid Bhawan (one of the world’s largest private residences) and City Palace (the largest palace complex in Rajasthan).
The Detailed Itinerary
Day 01: Arrival & The Blue City Citadel
Welcome to the Sun City. Upon your arrival at Jodhpur airport or railway station, our representative will meet you. After checking in, we head straight to the majestic Mehrangarh Fort. Rising perpendicular from the cliff, it offers the iconic view of the blue houses below.
Next, we visit the serene white marble Jaswant Thada (the Taj Mahal of Marwar) and the grand Umaid Bhawan Palace Museum. We end the day at the bustling Clock Tower (Ghanta Ghar) market, famous for its spices and chaotic energy.
Day Highlights:
VIP Meet & Greet at Jodhpur Airport/Station.
Explore the invincible Mehrangarh Fort.
Visit Jaswant Thada & Umaid Bhawan Palace.
Shopping for spices at Clock Tower Market.
Overnight stay in Jodhpur.
Day 02: The Scenic Drive | Ranakpur & Kumbhalgarh
After an early breakfast, we begin the beautiful drive to Udaipur (approx. 8-9 hours including stops). This is not just a transfer; it is a full day of sightseeing. First, we stop at the Ranakpur Jain Temple. The forest of 1,444 marble pillars here is an architectural miracle.
Next, we drive up the winding hills to Kumbhalgarh Fort. Walk on the massive walls that stretch for 36 km—second only to the Great Wall of China. We arrive in Udaipur by evening, just in time to see the lakes glittering at night.

Today is dedicated to the romance of Udaipur. We start with the massive City Palace, a maze of courtyards, mirrors, and hanging gardens. We also visit the Jagdish Temple and the Saheliyon Ki Bari (Garden of Maids).
In the afternoon, we visit Shilpgram (Rural Arts Complex) to see the folk culture of the region. The highlight of the day is the sunset Boat Ride on Lake Pichola. Cruising past the Jag Mandir and Lake Palace as the sky turns pink is an unforgettable experience.

We then transfer you to the Udaipur airport or railway station for your onward journey, leaving you with memories of two very different, yet equally royal, cities.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Jodhpur from Udaipur?
The direct distance is 250 km (5 hours). However, via Ranakpur and Kumbhalgarh, the distance increases to approx. 300+ km, and due to the hill roads and sightseeing stops, it takes about 8 to 9 hours. It is a long but rewarding day.
Which city is better for shopping?
Jodhpur: Best for Spices, Tie-Dye (Bandhani) fabrics, and Juttis (shoes). Udaipur: Best for Miniature Paintings, Stone crafts, and Silver jewelry.
Are the roads good?
The highway from Jodhpur to Ranakpur is decent. The road from Ranakpur to Kumbhalgarh and then to Udaipur is a single-lane hill road (Ghat section). It is scenic but can be winding.
Can we skip Kumbhalgarh to reach Udaipur earlier?
Yes. If you prefer a more relaxed drive, we can skip Kumbhalgarh and visit only Ranakpur. This will save about 2 hours of travel time.
Is the boat ride private?
The inclusion is for a Shared Motor Boat. If you wish to upgrade to a Private Boat or a Sunset Cruise with snacks, let us know, and we can arrange it for an extra cost.
