Start early to avoid city traffic and make the most of daylight on the ~260 km drive to Udaipur via NH48/SH50; comfortable drive through Gujarat into southern Rajasthan.
Quick dhaba-style breakfast (poha, paratha, chai) midway to break the trip; convenient and authentic. Good to stop here rather than delaying until Udaipur.
Explore the City Palace complex and museum for its blend of Rajput and Mughal architecture and panoramic views over Lake Pichola; typically open 9:30am–5:30pm, so plan afternoon arrival.
Visit the massive 15th-century fort with one of the longest walls after the Great Wall of China; excellent views, ramparts and Badal Mahal. Fort generally open 9:00am–5:00pm.
Visit the 15th-century marble Jain temple complex known for exceptionally detailed carvings and 1,444 pillars; temple typically open 6:00am–6:00pm — arrive early for quieter experience.
Attend evening darshan and aarti at the famous Shrinathji (Nathdwara) temple — check the temple's official schedule as darshan timings and sevas change seasonally; expect queues during festival days.
Attend the morning Mangala or early darshan for a quieter, more devotional experience—temple opens early but exact timings vary by day, so confirm locally.
