Jaipur to Udaipur by Road: Cost, Route & Best Stops (2026 Guide)

The drive from Jaipur to Udaipur is one of Rajasthan's most rewarding road trips — forts, lakes, and temple towns line the highway the entire way. Covering roughly 405–420 km, the journey takes about 7 to 8 hours by road, and with the right stops, it becomes as memorable as the destination itself. Here's everything you need to plan the trip, including what a chauffeur-driven car from Jaipur will realistically cost.

Distance and Route Overview

Jaipur to Udaipur by road covers approximately 405 km via the fastest route, with journey time varying between 7 and 8 hours depending on traffic, weather, and how many stops you make. There are two main ways to get there:

Route 1 – Via NH48 (recommended): Jaipur → Kishangarh → Bhilwara → Chittorgarh → Udaipur. This is the fastest and smoothest route, with a well-maintained highway, ample fuel stations, and reliable dhabas along the way.

Route 2 – Via Ajmer and Nathdwara: Jaipur → Ajmer → Beawar → Nathdwara → Udaipur. Slightly longer, but ideal if you want to combine the drive with visits to Pushkar and the Shrinathji Temple.

A chauffeur-driven trip lets you switch between these routes depending on which sights you'd rather see, without worrying about navigation or fatigue on a full day's drive.

Best Stops Between Jaipur and Udaipur

Breaking the journey into a few stops makes the drive far more enjoyable, especially in a private car where you can decide your own pace:

Ajmer & Pushkar – A short detour from the highway brings you to the Ajmer Sharif Dargah and Ana Sagar Lake, followed by the holy town of Pushkar with its Brahma Temple and lake ghats.

Kishangarh – Known for its marble industry and the Kishangarh school of miniature painting; a good spot for a quick tea break.

Chittorgarh Fort – One of India's largest forts and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, well worth an hour or two if your schedule allows.

Nathdwara – Home to the revered Shrinathji Temple, a natural stop if you take the Ajmer route.

Rajsamand Lake – A peaceful, scenic stop just before you roll into Udaipur.

October to March is the most comfortable window for this drive, with mild temperatures for sightseeing along the way. Summer months (April–June) can make midday stops uncomfortably hot, so an early start is worth planning around.

How Much Does a Chauffeur-Driven Car Cost for This Route?

Why a Chauffeur-Driven Car Beats Self-Drive or Bus for This Route

An 8-hour highway drive through unfamiliar towns is far less stressful with an experienced local driver at the wheel. Ruia Travels' chauffeurs know the NH48 corridor well, including where to stop for the best food, restrooms, and photo opportunities, and can adjust the route on the go if you want to add Pushkar or Chittorgarh to the itinerary. Unlike a self-drive rental, you can rest, work, or simply enjoy the scenery instead of navigating unfamiliar highways yourself. And unlike a bus, you set your own schedule and stops.

Many travellers combine this drive with a longer Rajasthan circuit covering Jodhpur and Pushkar as well.
