Itinerary
- Day 1
Udaipur
Your hotel pickup happens at 7:30am, so you'll want to be ready by then. Breakfast is at your hotel before you head out to see Udaipur's main sights. There's a boat ride on Pichola Lake where you get views of the city from the water, then you'll walk through the City Palace of Udaipur with its blend of Rajasthani and Mughal architecture. The 18th-century Bagore-ki-Haveli mansion is next, and it's worth spending time on the intricately decorated havelis and courtyards. After lunch (timing works out around midday), you'll go to a former royal residence where dinner is included. This gives you time to settle in before heading back to your hotel for a quiet evening.

Udaipur to Mount Abu
The 3-hour drive to Mount Abu puts you there by late morning, and the cooler climate is a nice change. After checking in at your hotel that overlooks Nakki Lake, grab lunch at the hotel or nearby. During the afternoon, the Delwara Temples are worth your time here, with intricate marble work inside that took craftspeople centuries to complete. By evening, a sunset boat cruise on Nakki Lake is peaceful, and you can catch the light on the water. Dinner happens at your hotel afterward, so you're not heading out to look for food.

Mount Abu to Kumbhalgarh
This one requires an early start since Guru Shikar, Mount Abu's highest peak at 5,650 feet, is best visited before the heat. After that hike and the air up there, you'll visit Adhar Devi Temple which is carved into rock. Then there's a 3-hour drive to Kumbhalgarh where you check in and have lunch. The Kumbhalgarh Fort takes up your afternoon, and it's genuinely massive with walls that stretch for miles. A jeep safari to nearby tribal villages comes next with folk dance and music performances. You'll be tired but satisfied by dinner at your hotel.

Kumbhalgarh to Dungarpur
After breakfast you'll drive to Dungarpur and check in at your hotel, which is a former royal palace so there's some character to the place. A boat cruise on Gaib Sagar Lake is calm and relaxing, and there's a bird sanctuary if you want to stop there (it's optional so you can skip it if you prefer). Back at the hotel, an Ayurvedic massage is a nice way to unwind in the afternoon, then you have dinner at your hotel to wrap up the day.

Juna Mahal, the former royal residence, gives perspective on how the ruling families lived. The State Museum has artifacts from the region's history. Tribal villages round out the day so you get a sense of how people live outside the main towns. It's a full day of walking around and taking in different parts of Dungarpur's story.

The history there is significant, and there's a lot of ground to cover. Lunch is at Castle Bijaipur, giving you a break midway through your exploration.
