If you have extra time, extend your stay in Udaipur by an additional night to relax at Lake Pichola and take a day‑trip to the nearby Kumbhalgarh Fort. To shorten the itinerary, combine Jaipur’s Amber Fort and City Palace into a single half‑day and skip the evening cultural show; you can then catch an early afternoon flight to Mumbai and fly back directly, reducing both travel time and costs.
