Getting there & around

From the airport

Maharana Pratap Airport (UDR) at Dabok is about 22 km east of Udaipur. There is no metro or rail link to the centre. For first arrivals, use a prepaid taxi, app cab, or hotel car; expect about 35-60 minutes to the Old City/Lake Pichola depending on traffic. Public bus options are limited and not the easiest with luggage.

Around the city

Udaipur has no metro. In the Old City and around Lake Pichola, walking is often best because lanes are narrow; use auto-rickshaws, app cabs, or local taxis for longer hops. City buses exist but are not the main tourist tool, and there is no essential tourist transit card or pass. Agree fares before autos or use app pricing; hire a car/taxi for Badi Lake, Sajjangarh/Monsoon Palace, or airport trips.
