Nathdwara, Eklingji & Haldighati: Private Day Tour from Udaipur

Haldighati's mountain pass holds the ground where Maharana Pratap fought the Mughal army centuries ago.

A full-day private tour from Udaipur visits three sites across the Aravalli Hills: the Shrinathji Temple in Nathdwara, the ancient Eklingji Temple dedicated to Lord Shiva and built in 734 A.D., and Haldighati, the historic battlefield where Maharana Pratap clashed with Raja Man Singh in 1576. Your English-speaking driver picks you up from your hotel and handles all transport in a private air-conditioned vehicle.

The experience

The tour begins with pickup from your Udaipur hotel, railway station, bus station or airport in a private air-conditioned vehicle. You travel to Nathdwara, a town set in the Aravalli Hills about an hour's drive away, where you spend roughly an hour at the Shrinathji Temple: a major pilgrimage site for Vaishnavas and dedicated to the deity Shrinathji. The temple's intricate carvings and detailed artwork are the draw here. You move through at your own pace with your driver on hand.

From Nathdwara, the route heads north to Eklingji Temple, located 20 kilometers from Udaipur. Built in 734 A.D. by Bappa Rawal, this ancient temple dedicated to Lord Shiva has served as the ruling deity of the Mewar kingdom for centuries. The architecture and carved details reward close attention, and your driver remains available to answer questions about the site's history and significance.

The final stop is Haldighati, a mountain pass 44 kilometers from Udaipur that sits between Khamnore and Balicha villages in the Aravalli Range. This is where Maharana Pratap of Mewar fought Raja Man Singh of Amber in 1576: a battle that defines Rajasthan's history. The site includes a museum, the battlefield itself, the Chetak Horse Memorial (honoring Maharana Pratap's legendary horse), and the mountain pass. After exploring, your driver takes you back to Udaipur and drops you at your chosen location.
