Udaipur to Mount Abu Taxi
Comfortable taxis connecting Udaipur's lake city charm to Mount Abu's cool hill station retreat through the Aravalli ranges.
The journey from Udaipur to Mount Abu covers approximately 165 kilometres through the Aravalli hills, typically taking around three and a half to four hours depending on traffic and road conditions. This route connects Rajasthan's celebrated City of Lakes with its only hill station, climbing from Udaipur's palace-dotted shores to Mount Abu's forested heights at over 1,200 metres elevation.
Lucky Taxi Service provides private taxi bookings for this scenic route, allowing you to travel at your preferred departure time with stops wherever you wish along the way. Fares are quoted based on your chosen vehicle type, whether you need a one-way transfer or a round trip with Mount Abu sightseeing, and your specific travel dates.
Udaipur to Mount Abu Route and Road Conditions
The most direct route follows National Highway 48 southward from Udaipur, passing through Rajsamand district before turning towards Mount Abu. The roads are generally well maintained, though the final stretch involves ghat roads with hairpin bends as you ascend into the hill station. Most travellers use the route via Kherwara Chhaoni and Abu Road junction, where the climb proper begins.
Alternative routes through smaller state highways exist but often add considerable time without substantial benefits. The NH48 routing provides the most reliable surfaces and clearest signage. During monsoon months, the ghat section requires careful driving, whilst winter mornings may bring patches of fog at higher elevations, so departure timing matters for this journey.

Worthwhile Stops Between Udaipur and Mount Abu
Approximately 65 kilometres from Udaipur lies Rajsamand Lake, one of Rajasthan's larger artificial lakes, built in the 17th century with ornate marble embankments and pavilions worth a brief photo stop. The town of Kankroli on its eastern shore hosts the famous Dwarkadheesh Temple if you're interested in temple architecture. These stops add 20 to 30 minutes to your journey.
Nearer to Mount Abu, the temple town of Abu Road sits at the base of the hills and offers local restaurants serving Rajasthani and Gujarati thalis if you prefer a meal break before the climb. Some travellers stop at roadside viewpoints during the ascent itself, where the Aravalli landscape unfolds below as you gain elevation through the fifteen-kilometre ghat road section.
Places & destinations to cover
- 01
Nakki Lake
Mount Abu's central attraction, this half-kilometre-long lake sits at 1,200 metres elevation and offers paddle boats, lakeside cafés and pleasant walking paths. The lake area becomes the town's social hub during evenings, with local snack vendors and families enjoying the cool climate.
- 02
Dilwara Temples
These five marble Jain temples, built between the 11th and 16th centuries, display astonishingly detailed stone carving considered among the world's finest. The Vimal Vasahi and Luna Vasahi temples particularly impress with their pillared halls and intricately carved ceilings depicting celestial dancers and geometric patterns.
- 03
Guru Shikhar
Rajasthan's highest peak offers panoramic Aravalli views from the small temple dedicated to Dattatreya at its summit. The fifteen-kilometre drive from Mount Abu town passes through forest areas, and the final approach involves a short climb on foot to the peak temple.
- 04
Sunset Point
This popular viewpoint approximately two kilometres from town draws crowds in the late afternoon for westward views across the plains below. Small vendors sell hot chai and corn on the cob as visitors gather along the rocks waiting for the sun to drop behind distant hills.
- 05
Achalgarh Fort
Located about eleven kilometres from central Mount Abu, this ancient fort contains the Achaleshwar Mahadev Temple with its unique toe-print of Lord Shiva. The fort area offers quieter exploration than the main town sites, with historical structures and hillside views.
- 06
Peace Park
The Brahma Kumaris' Rajyoga meditation centre maintains this beautifully landscaped garden with white marble structures and mountain views. Visitors find it a calm retreat from busier tourist areas, particularly pleasant for morning or late-afternoon walks amongst manicured lawns and flowering plants.
One-Way Transfer or Round Trip Booking
One-way transfers suit travellers continuing onward to Gujarat or those planning an extended Mount Abu stay with separate return arrangements. The driver completes the drop-off and returns empty, with fares reflecting the full circuit distance. This option works well if your Mount Abu visit extends beyond three or four days or connects to broader Rajasthan-Gujarat itineraries.
Round trip bookings with driver accommodation prove more economical for typical two- to three-day Mount Abu visits, allowing the same vehicle and driver to remain available for local sightseeing around Nakki Lake, Guru Shikhar, the Dilwara Temples and sunset points. You control the return timing, and fares account for the driver's waiting period and simple accommodation, usually offering better value than separate one-way bookings in both directions.

What to See and Do in Mount Abu
Mount Abu centres around Nakki Lake, a scenic body of water surrounded by walking paths, boating options and the town's main market area. The Dilwara Temples, approximately three kilometres from the town centre, showcase extraordinarily intricate marble carvings from the 11th to 13th centuries and rank among India's finest Jain temple complexes. Sunset Point and Honeymoon Point draw crowds in early evening for Aravalli panoramas.
Guru Shikhar, Rajasthan's highest point at 1,722 metres, lies about 15 kilometres from the main town and offers expansive views from the small temple at its summit. The Mount Abu Wildlife Sanctuary surrounds much of the hill station, home to varied birdlife and occasional sightings of sloth bears and leopards. Most visitors find two full days sufficient to cover the main attractions comfortably without feeling rushed.

Local travel information
- Mount Abu temperatures run ten to fifteen degrees cooler than Udaipur, so carry a light jacket even in summer months, particularly for morning and evening outings.
- The Dilwara Temples close during midday hours (typically noon to three o'clock) and have dress codes requiring covered shoulders and legs, so plan your temple visit for morning or late afternoon.
- Weekends and public holidays bring considerable domestic tourist traffic to Mount Abu; midweek visits offer quieter experiences at popular sites like Nakki Lake and Sunset Point.
- Nakki Lake boating operates until early evening but queues grow long during peak afternoon hours; early morning or late afternoon provides calmer water and shorter waits for boats.
