Udaipur to Mount Abu Cab
165 km · ~3.5 hours via NH27 through Pindwara
Udaipur to Mount Abu is Rajasthan's only hill-station run. 165 km of NH27 flat-plain driving followed by a 28 km ghat climb up the Aravalli ridge to Mount Abu, the state's highest point at 1,220 metres. Best for a 1-night weekend break or a short add-on to an Udaipur trip.

Frequently asked questions
What's worth doing in Mount Abu?
Dilwara Jain temples (11th–13th century marble carving at its peak — one of India's most extraordinary religious structures, open to non-Jains 12:00–18:00), Nakki Lake boating, Guru Shikhar viewpoint (Rajasthan's highest point), and the evening Sunset Point walk. 1 night is comfortable; 2 nights if you want to slow down.
Is Mount Abu part of Rajasthan or Gujarat?
Part of Rajasthan — but it's geographically closer to north Gujarat (Ahmedabad is 225 km, same distance as Udaipur). Many weekend travellers come from Ahmedabad; we run that route too.
When is the best time to visit?
October to March — pleasant days (20–25°C), cool evenings (10–15°C). April and May are summer-escape season and busy. Monsoon (July–September) is lush and beautiful but the ghat road is slow in rain.
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.
