through land, rail and air.

lying midway between Delhi and Mumbai on National Highway
(NH) 8 and is around 650 kms from either metro. The
roads in this part of the country are really nice, paved

drive from Jaipur (around 7 hours) or Ahmedabad (4-5
hours), or take a Rajasthan Tourism bus from India Gate
in Delhi.

24km from the city centre. Indian Airlines fly daily
to Jodhpur, Jaipur, Aurangabad, Mumbai and Deli.

Train: Train connectivity is established
between Delhi, Jaipur and Ahmedabad through trains run
by.Indian Railway. Recently Udaipur got connected with
Delhi Kota and Agra with superfast Mewar express on
broadgauge line.
---------------------------------
In Udaipur you have the liberty to choose vehicle
from the four to fourteen seater air- conditioned Tempo
Traveller and Vans and also large deluxe coaches with
a capacity of eighteen to thirty five people travelling
together in a group.
Within the city area you can hire a Tonga (or Tanga).
These are light horse-drawn carriages which are used
for public transport. A cheaper but slower ride to the
rickshaw or taxi but nevertheless a novelty to try if
of course the roads are good otherwise not a great experience. |
