By Train

Udaipur lies on a vast network of railway that connects it to major cities in India such as Jaipur, Delhi, Kolkata, Indore, Mumbai and Kota. Some of the popular trains that run daily are Mewar Express, Gwalior-Udaipur Express, Bandra-Udaipur SF Express, Chetak Express and Annanya Express. In fact, the famous and luxurious Palace of Wheels also makes a scheduled stop in Udaipur.

Road/Self Drive

Udaipur is connected to Delhi and Mumbai by National Highway 8 (NH 8). The drive is about 10-11 hours long and covers a distance of roughly 700 kilometres from both the cities.

Gujarat is also situated close to Udaipur. The distance between Ahmedabad and Udaipur is 256km and it takes approximately 4 hours by road. Vadodara to Udaipur is 358km by road and would take approximately 5.5 hours drive time.

Many tourists visiting Udaipur prefer to drive on their own. If you do not wish to use your personal vehicle, there are several tour operators that provide vehicles on hire. Alternatively, one can also hire chauffeur-driven vehicles for travelling to Udaipur.

You will need to get a visa before travelling to India. You can find further information about how to apply on the Indian High Commission website.

From 1 April 2017, the length of stay on an e-visa has been increased from 30 days to 60 days. The 60 days start on the date of your first entry into India on your e-visa. When you arrive at the airport, your passport will be stamped and an expiry date for your e-visa will be handwritten by an Immigration Officer. Please visit the government of India’s e-Tourist Visa website to make your application. Further information can be found on the UK government travel website and indianvisaonline.gov.in.
