Quick overview of your 4-day road trip
Start your Delhi to Pushkar road trip early to avoid city traffic and enjoy a smooth drive via the Delhi–Jaipur Expressway (NE4) and NH48. This is one of the most popular Delhi to Rajasthan road trip routes, with multiple highway dhabas and food stops before Jaipur for comfortable breaks. Reach Pushkar by afternoon and head straight to Pushkar Lake where 52 ghats line the sacred lake, and the evening aarti between 6–7:30 PM is one of the most atmospheric experiences on this road trip. Remove footwear before approaching the ghats. After the ghat visit, explore Brahma Temple, Savitri Temple Ropeway, followed by café hopping and shopping in the vibrant Pushkar market. If you are visiting in November, the Pushkar Camel Fair (Kartik Mela) transforms the town into one of Rajasthan's most vibrant events and book accommodation well in advance during this period.
Continue your journey on the scenic Pushkar to Udaipur road trip, a key stretch of the Delhi to Udaipur road trip route known for its changing landscapes and smooth highways. En route, you can visit the famous Shreenathji Temple in Nathdwara, a popular spiritual stop before reaching Udaipur. As you arrive by late evening, unwind by exploring Fateh Sagar Lake and Lake Pichola, both offering beautiful sunset and night views. There are plenty of lakeside food options and cafés in Udaipur for a relaxed dinner experience. Choose from excellent lake view hotels and stays in Udaipur for a comfortable overnight stay.
Start your morning in Udaipur with City Palace and Bagore ki Haveli, both are within walking distance of each other and best explored before the afternoon heat. Pick up handicrafts at Hathi Pol Bazaar before lunch, then depart by 2 PM for the scenic Udaipur to Mount Abu drive via NH27. The 165 km stretch takes around 3 hours and includes a winding ghat section through the Aravalli hills. Drive carefully, especially near Abu Road and reach Mount Abu by evening and unwind at Nakki Lake and the lively Nakki Lake market.
Spend the day exploring Mount Abu's top attractions. Start early with Guru Shikhar that is located ~14 km from town (~30 min drive), it's Rajasthan's highest peak at 1,722 m and best seen before haze builds up. After this head to Dilwara Temples next . It is open 12 PM–6 PM for non-Jain visitors, no photography allowed inside, and entry is free. Plan your morning around this timing so you arrive right at noon. Continue with Toad Rock and Sunset Point in the afternoon. You can also explore Bailey’s Trail walk, a peaceful nature trail known for its greenery and quiet surroundings, along with cafés and local food spots in Mount Abu market during the day.

Petrol pumps are frequent and well-spaced from Delhi through Jaipur, Pushkar, and Udaipur.

The best time is October to March when Mount Abu's hill climate is cool and pleasant. November is ideal if you want to combine it with the Pushkar Camel Fair on Day 1, one of Rajasthan's most vibrant events. Avoid May and June when plains temperatures exceed 40°C making the highway drive uncomfortable. Monsoon (July–September) brings lush green Aravalli views but the ghat road to Mount Abu can get slippery so drive carefully.
