Jodhpur Mount Abu Tour

Journey from Jodhpur's desert citadel to Mount Abu's serene hill station with private taxi and driver.

The Jodhpur Mount Abu tour combines two distinctly different Rajasthan experiences: the commanding desert fortress city of Jodhpur, known as the Blue City, and Mount Abu, Rajasthan's only hill station nestled in the Aravalli Range. This multi-day journey allows you to explore Mehrangarh Fort's towering ramparts, wander through Jodhpur's azure-walled old city lanes, then ascend to Mount Abu's cooler climate where Jain temples and serene lakes offer a refreshing contrast to the Thar Desert landscapes.

Lucky Taxi Service provides private vehicle and experienced driver for this route, giving you the flexibility to travel at your own pace, stop for photographs along the scenic drive, and adjust your itinerary to suit your interests. The approximate distance between Jodhpur and Mount Abu is around 250 kilometres, typically a five to six-hour drive through changing terrain. Hotels, entry tickets and meals are arranged separately unless specifically agreed in advance, allowing you to choose accommodation that suits your budget and preferences.

Suggested Itinerary: Jodhpur to Mount Abu

Day one typically begins in Jodhpur with morning exploration of Mehrangarh Fort, one of India's largest and most impressive fortifications, perched on a rocky cliff 125 metres above the city. The fort's museums display royal palanquins, weaponry, paintings and textiles. Afterwards, visit Jaswant Thada, the elegant marble cenotaph built in memory of Maharaja Jaswant Singh II, before wandering through the old city's blue-painted houses near the iconic Clock Tower and Sardar Market, where spice vendors and bangle sellers create a vibrant atmosphere.

Day two involves the scenic drive from Jodhpur to Mount Abu, departing after breakfast. The journey takes you through rural Rajasthan and into the Aravalli hills, with the landscape gradually changing from arid plains to greener, forested slopes. Upon reaching Mount Abu, typically by early afternoon, you can settle into your hotel and spend the evening at Nakki Lake, a popular spot for boating and lakeside walks, followed by sunset viewpoint at Sunset Point, which offers panoramic views across the surrounding hills and valleys.

Exploring Mount Abu's Attractions

Day three focuses on Mount Abu's most celebrated attraction: the Dilwara Temples, a complex of exquisitely carved Jain marble temples dating from the 11th to 13th centuries. The intricate marble carvings, particularly in the Vimal Vasahi and Luna Vasahi temples, represent some of the finest temple architecture in India, with delicate ceiling work and pillars that demonstrate extraordinary craftsmanship. These temples are open to visitors at specific hours, typically morning and late afternoon, and require modest dress and removal of leather items before entry.

Later on day three, you might visit Guru Shikhar, the highest point in the Aravalli Range at approximately 1,722 metres above sea level, offering expansive views on clear days. Other options include the Peace Park with its white marble statues, Achalgarh Fort with its ancient Shiva temple, or Toad Rock, a naturally formed rock resembling a toad that's popular for photographs. Your driver can adjust the day's route based on your interests and energy levels, ensuring you see what matters most to you.

    Jaswant Thada, Jodhpur

    Built in 1899, this graceful marble cenotaph serves as a memorial to Maharaja Jaswant Singh II. The carved marble latticework creates beautiful light effects inside, and the surrounding gardens with lake views offer a peaceful contrast to the fort's imposing presence nearby.

  3. 03

    Dilwara Temples, Mount Abu

    These five Jain temples, constructed between the 11th and 16th centuries, showcase some of India's finest marble carving. The Vimal Vasahi and Luna Vasahi temples are particularly renowned for their intricate ceiling work, delicate pillars and extraordinary attention to detail that took craftsmen decades to complete.

    Nakki Lake, Mount Abu

    This natural lake sits at the heart of Mount Abu town at an elevation of approximately 1,200 metres. Paddle boats and rowing boats are available for hire, and the lakeside promenade offers pleasant walks with views of surrounding hills and the distinctive Toad Rock formation.

    Clock Tower and Sardar Market, Jodhpur

    The bustling market area surrounding the landmark clock tower represents old Jodhpur's commercial heart. Narrow lanes are filled with vendors selling vegetables, spices, textiles, silver jewellery, handicrafts and traditional Rajasthani items, creating an authentic atmosphere of daily city life.

Return Journey and Flexible Extensions

Day four typically involves your return journey to Jodhpur, departing Mount Abu after breakfast. If time permits before departure, a morning visit to the Government Museum or a final walk around Nakki Lake provides a gentle end to your hill station stay. The drive back to Jodhpur follows the same approximate route, and you can request stops at villages or viewpoints you might have passed on the way up, giving you different photographic perspectives in the morning light.

For those with additional time, this tour can be extended to include Ranakpur, home to one of India's most important Jain temple complexes, located roughly midway between Mount Abu and Jodhpur. The Ranakpur Jain Temple features 1,444 intricately carved marble pillars, each uniquely designed. Alternatively, the itinerary can be adjusted to begin or end in Udaipur instead of Jodhpur, creating a different circuit through southern Rajasthan.
