Udaipur to Jodhpur Cab
255 km · ~5 hours via NH62 through Ranakpur
Udaipur to Jodhpur via Ranakpur is one of Rajasthan's most scenic inter-city drives. The road cuts through the Aravalli's western folds, climbs past Gogunda, and delivers you to the extraordinary 15th-century Ranakpur Jain temple — worth a 2-hour halt on its own — before continuing through Pali to the Blue City.
Route description
The first 90 km to Ranakpur is slow two-lane through hills — scenic but takes its time. Ranakpur itself is a 2-hour must-stop; the temple opens to non-Jains at 12:00, so time your arrival accordingly. After Ranakpur the road opens up onto the Pali plains and NH62 delivers you to Jodhpur in a brisk 2.5 hours.

Frequently asked questions
Why stop at Ranakpur?
Ranakpur is one of the five most important Jain pilgrimage sites and arguably the most beautiful piece of religious architecture in Rajasthan. 1,444 carved marble pillars, no two alike. Even non-religious visitors find it extraordinary. The temple is open to non-Jains between 12:00 and 17:00 — time your arrival accordingly.
Can we combine this with Kumbhalgarh Fort?
Yes — Kumbhalgarh is 40 km east of Ranakpur (1 hour). The Great Wall of India, second-longest wall in the world. Budget a half-day for the fort; total Udaipur–Kumbhalgarh–Ranakpur–Jodhpur drive becomes 10 hours and is best split over 2 days with an overnight in Kumbhalgarh.
Is this drive safe at night?
The Ranakpur-to-Udaipur hill stretch through Gogunda has several blind corners and is not recommended after dark. We default to morning departures from Udaipur and arrive in Jodhpur well before sunset.
How is the outstation fare calculated?
Outstation trips are billed per kilometer with a minimum of 300 KMs per calendar day. The per-km rate depends on your vehicle type and city of pickup. Driver allowance is charged per day. Toll, parking, interstate taxes, and GST at 5% are added at actuals. Contact us for an exact quote for your dates.
Is this a one-way or round-trip rate?
All outstation bookings are round-trip — billed garage to garage. Even for a one-side drop, return kilometers are included. We do offer one-way drop service from select cities at different rates — ask us for availability.
What is included in the fare?
The base fare covers vehicle hire (per-km rate × total kilometers) and driver allowance. Toll charges, parking fees, interstate permit taxes, and GST at 5% are charged at actuals and itemized on your invoice.
How are days counted?
Calendar days — Day 1 starts when the vehicle departs from our garage. Each calendar day carries a minimum of 300 KMs. For example, a 3-day trip has a minimum billing of 900 KMs regardless of actual distance covered.
What is driver allowance and night halt?
Driver allowance is a daily charge covering the driver's meals and incidentals during outstation duty. Night halt is an additional charge when the vehicle is retained overnight. Both vary by city — contact us for specifics.
What vehicles are available for outstation?
We offer sedans (Swift Dzire, Toyota Etios), SUVs (Innova, Ertiga), premium sedans (Honda City, Ciaz), tempo travellers, and buses. Availability varies by city.
