Quick overview of your 4-day road trip
Start your Delhi to Udaipur road trip early in the morning to avoid traffic and enjoy a smooth drive via the Delhi–Mumbai Expressway, the best route for a comfortable Rajasthan road trip. Jaipur, a popular stopover on the Delhi to Udaipur route, is usually reachable within 5 hours with multiple food stops, fuel stations, and highway facilities along the way. After hotel check-in, spend the evening exploring Jaipur’s top attractions like Hawa Mahal, City Palace, Jantar Mantar, and heritage markets such as Bapu Bazaar.
Spend the morning exploring Jaipur’s top places to visit, including Amer Fort and Nahargarh Fort, along with a relaxed café stop before continuing your Delhi to Udaipur road trip toward Pushkar. Start with breakfast at Tapri Central, followed by sightseeing, and enjoy a traditional Rajasthani lunch at Spice Court before beginning the Jaipur to Pushkar drive in the afternoon.
By evening, reach Pushkar and head straight to the lake. The Pushkar Lake ghat experience at dusk is one of the highlights of this road trip. Here the priests perform evening aarti at the ghats, the lake reflects the last light, and the surrounding cafés fill up with travelers. After the ghat walk, explore Brahma Temple and Pushkar Market for handicrafts and street food. Enjoy a lakeside café stop at Cafe Lake View and end the evening with rooftop dinner at The Sixth Sense.
Leave Pushkar after breakfast and join NH58, the main Pushkar to Udaipur highway which is a smooth, well-maintained road that passes through Beawar and Bhilwara before reaching Udaipur. The full stretch is around 300 km and takes approximately 5 hours with stops. Nathdwara, home to the famous Shreenathji Temple, comes roughly 50 km before Udaipur on this route. Plan a 30–45 minute darshan stop here before continuing. Reach Udaipur by evening and head to Fateh Sagar Lake or Lake Pichola for a relaxed arrival experience.
Spend Day 4 exploring Udaipur’s top places to visit, including palaces, lakes, cafés, and local markets at a relaxed pace. Start with City Palace and Bagore Ki Haveli in the morning, where you can also watch and experience traditional Mewar folk dance performances. Continue with shopping at Hathi Pol Bazaar, known for handicrafts and souvenirs. In the evening, visit Sajjangarh Monsoon Palace for panoramic sunset views, and end the day around Lake Pichola and Fateh Sagar Lake, enjoying lakeside cafés, dinner, and Udaipur’s heritage atmosphere.

The total Delhi to Udaipur road trip distance via Jaipur and Pushkar is approximately 740 km. The route is split across 3 driving days: Delhi to Jaipur (~300 km), Jaipur to Pushkar (~145 km), and Pushkar to Udaipur (~300 km via NH58). Total driving time is around 12–13 hours spread over the trip.
The best route follows NE4 from Delhi to Jaipur (~300 km, ~5 hours), then NH48 from Jaipur to Pushkar (~145 km, ~3 hours), and NH58 from Pushkar to Udaipur (~300 km, ~5 hours). The NE4 expressway including the Bandikui–Jaipur spur is the smoothest section. NH58 from Pushkar to Udaipur passes through Beawar, Bhilwara, and Nathdwara. It is well-maintained with regular fuel stops throughout.
The total Delhi to Udaipur toll charges via Jaipur range between ₹1,800–₹2,800 one way for a standard car, covering multiple plazas on NE4, NH48, and NH58. FASTag is mandatory on all national highway sections so keep it active and topped up before starting. Toll rates may vary slightly by vehicle category.
The best season for the Delhi to Udaipur road trip is October to March. Temperatures are pleasant across Jaipur, Pushkar, and Udaipur, making it ideal for both driving and sightseeing. October–November and February–March are especially good with fewer crowds than December–January peak season. Avoid May–June as Rajasthan temperatures can exceed 40°C. Monsoon (July–September) is scenic but requires careful driving near Pushkar and Udaipur ghats.
Yes. Pushkar adds one of the most distinctive stops on this route. Pushkar Lake with its 52 ghats, the only Brahma Temple in India, lakeside cafés, and the famous Pushkar Camel Fair in November make it a genuine destination rather than just a transit stop. The Jaipur to Pushkar drive is only 3 hours, making it easy to add without overextending the day.
The Pushkar Lake ghat experience in the evening is one of the most atmospheric stops on this road trip. As the sun sets, priests perform aarti at the main ghats, boats float on the sacred lake, and the surrounding cafés come alive. The whole experience takes about 45–60 minutes and is best between 6–7:30 PM. It is free to attend, just remove footwear before approaching the ghats.
Yes, the route remains accessible during monsoon, but travelers should drive carefully near Pushkar and hilly stretches around Udaipur during heavy rainfall. The highways remain drivable but carry extra time buffer as rain can slow NH58 near Udaipur's hilly outskirts. July and August are the wettest months; September improves significantly.
City Palace Udaipur is open from 9:30 AM to 5:30 PM daily. Entry fee is ₹300 per adult for Indian visitors and ₹700 for foreign nationals. Arrive before 11 AM to avoid peak crowds. The museum inside is included in the entry ticket and covers Mewar royal history, paintings, and heritage artifacts.
