About this trip

Jaipur and Udaipur are three hundred kilometres and two entirely different moods apart. Jaipur is forts, bazaars and scale; Udaipur is water, courtyards and quiet. Four nights gives both room to breathe.

Amber Fort is visited at opening time — 08:00 — which avoids both the queue and the worst of the sun. The City Palace, Jantar Mantar and Hawa Mahal fill the second day, with the Johri and Bapu bazaars in the evening.

In Udaipur the plan is deliberately thin: the City Palace, a sunset boat on Lake Pichola, Saheliyon ki Bari, and a lot of sitting on rooftops. The Ranakpur Jain temple can be added on the transfer day for anyone interested.

Trip highlights

  • Amber Fort at 08:00, before the crowd and the heat
  • Sunset boat on Lake Pichola past the Jag Mandir
  • Jantar Mantar — a working 18th-century observatory, UNESCO listed
  • A puppet show and Rajasthani dinner at Bagore ki Haveli
  • Blue Pottery and block-printing workshop visits at Sanganer
  • Optional Ranakpur Jain temple stop on the Jaipur–Udaipur transfer

08:00 at Amber Fort is non-negotiable

We were through the Sheesh Mahal before the first coach party arrived. By ten it was unrecognisable. Udaipur was deliberately quiet which after Jaipur is exactly what you want. The Ranakpur stop adds two hours to a long day — take it anyway.
