Royal Lakes & Highland Peaks: Udaipur-Mount Abu 5 Days Expedition
Why choose Best Udaipur and Mount Abu Tour Package with our Shimla-based experts?
Local Insider Insight
When transiting from Udaipur to Mount Abu, request a 30-minute halt at the Haldighati mountain pass. This narrow defile was the site of the legendary 1576 battle between Maharana Pratap and the Mughal army. The small museum on site displays original weapons and provides critical historical context that breaks up the drive beautifully. Most tour operators rush past it, but it is one of the most historically significant sites in Rajput history and sits right on the main highway.
Experience the grand intersection of Mewar royalty and the only hill station of Rajasthan. This 5-day professional expedition is curated for travelers who appreciate the white-marble elegance of Udaipur's lakes and the intricate stone carvings of Mount Abu's Dilwara temples. Starting in the 'City of Lakes,' we provide optimized slots for private boat cruises on Lake Pichola and guided heritage walks through the City Palace complex. Our journey then ascends the Aravali range to the highland plateau of Mount Abu, focusing on its unique ecological and spiritual diversity. Himalayan Escalate's stewardship ensures premium heritage hotel stays and seamless mountain-road transits, offering a definitive passage through the heart of Southern Rajasthan.
"We believe that travel in these mountains should never be rushed. Having spent years guiding travelers along these exact roads, my advice is to take the early morning walks when the air is absolutely crisp and local life is just starting. Avoid the generic tourist traps and ask our drivers to stop at the small roadside dhabas for fresh cedar-smoke chai. We don't just plan itineraries—we connect you with the real, unhurried soul of our home."

In the afternoon, visit the Jagdish Temple, an Indo-Aryan masterpiece, followed by the Saheliyon-ki-Bari (the courtyard for the maidens of the queen).

This day provides a deep dive into the artistic soul of the Sisodia dynasty.
Highland Peaks: Transits to Mount Abu
Begin your ascent toward the only hill station in the Aravallis, Mount Abu (approx. 3.5 hours). The drive offers a dramatic landscape transition from the marble quarries of the plains to the lush forests of the highlands. Arrive at your boutique mountain resort by early afternoon. Spend your evening at Nakki Lake, a sacred lake said to have been dug out by the gods using their nails. Enjoy a private boat ride and a walk along the Toad Rock trail for a panoramic view of the hill station. Overnight in the cool highland air.
Marble Marvels and Aravali Summits
A day of high-visual impact. Visit the Dilwara Jain Temples, known globally for their architectural perfection and stone carvings that appear like delicate lace. Proceed to Guru Shikhar, the highest peak of the Aravali range, for a 360-degree view of the Rajasthan-Gujarat border. In the afternoon, visit the Adhar Devi Temple, carved inside a solid rock. Conclude your day at the Sunset Point, where the sun appears to dip directly into the thick jungle canopy. The balance of spiritual silence and natural beauty makes this day the highlight of your highland stay.
