The Experience

The pickup happens between 8:00 AM and 9:30 AM from your hotel, the railway station, or anywhere else in Udaipur you name. The drive north takes you 84 kilometers into the wilderness to Kumbhalgarh Fort, which sits on the border between Mewar and Marwar. The fort itself was built in the 15th century as a citadel—the second-most important one in the Mewar region after Chittorgarh—and its walls are referred to as the second-largest in the world. Your guide walks you through the fort and explains its role during the Mewar dynasty, when it served as a strategic stronghold between two kingdoms.

After the fort, you break for lunch before heading to Ranakpur Jain Temple. The temple was built by Rana Kumbha, the famous king of Mewar, and it stands as one of the largest and most important temples in Jain culture. The structure contains 84 underground chambers—bhonyra—that were built to protect Jain idols from Mughal raids. The temple is known for its ornate carved work, especially the idol of Parshvanatha, which is carved from a single marble slab and depicts 1008 snake heads with numerous tails. Your guide shares details about Jain religion and the temple's significance as you move through the site.

The return drive to Udaipur brings you back by evening. All parking fees, tolls, fuel and taxes are covered; you pay nothing extra for the transport or the guide. The vehicle is air-conditioned, and the tour is wheelchair accessible throughout—all areas and surfaces accommodate wheelchairs, and infants can travel in a pram or stroller if needed.
