Udaipur Tour From Jaipur 3 Days: What It Was Like for Us

My partner and I experienced the Udaipur tour from Jaipur 3 days firsthand. Here's a full account of the drive, the stops, and the sunsets that made it memorable.

What the Udaipur Tour From Jaipur 3 Days Was Actually Like for Us

Talk of heritage and romance eventually pushed us to book this Udaipur Tour from Jaipur 3 Days, and the trip lived up to both. Here's how everything played out through Hii Stories.

Departing From Jaipur

Waiting for us at the pickup spot in Jaipur was our chauffeur, holding a sign with our names so there was zero guesswork involved. About 6 hours later, riding in a private AC car, we'd traded Jaipur's dry terrain for Udaipur's lake filled surroundings, the changing scenery turning the drive into an experience of its own rather than dead time.

The Chittorgarh Fort Stop

Opting into the Chittorgarh Fort detour ended up being one of the smarter calls we made. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site covering 700 acres, it delivered genuine Rajput history well before Udaipur came into sight. Looking back, neither of us expected this to become such a highlight.

Arriving and Settling In

By the time we reached Udaipur, evening had set in, so we checked into the hotel and took time to rest before the sightseeing started the next morning. After six hours in the car, that downtime turned out to matter more than we'd anticipated.

Sightseeing Side by Side

The day began at Jagdish Temple, then moved to City Palace Museum, where the Mewar dynasty's grandeur came through clearly as we explored the courtyards together. Saheliyon ki Bari's peaceful gardens slowed the pace before lunch near Lake Pichola, the lake palace views giving us one of the standout photos from the trip.

Trying Local Craft Together

Guided by a local artisan, we learned the tie and dye process and the meaning behind particular colours, while block printing turned into a playful, mildly competitive session between the two of us. We didn't opt for the miniature painting upgrade, something we're now considering for a future visit.

Sunset From Monsoon Palace

This is where the trip's romantic promise came through fully. Watching the sun set from Monsoon Palace, also known as Sajjan Garh Palace, with the entire city laid out below, gave us a moment we won't forget anytime soon.

Unwinding by Fateh Sagar Lake

We ended the day with a peaceful walk along Fateh Sagar Lake, a fitting way to slow down after a full day of exploring.

Returning to Jaipur

The drive back covered the same 6 hours, and since we'd already travelled this route once, the scenery felt reassuringly familiar rather than repetitive. We arrived back in Jaipur without any hitches.

Why This Trip Worked for Us

• Travelling privately meant setting our own pace, with no group timetable to follow
• The craft sessions gave us something to do together, not just scenery to observe
• Sunset at Monsoon Palace matched everything the itinerary had promised

Recommendations for Other Couples

• Add the Chittorgarh Fort stop if it's available, the extra time is well spent
• Consider the full miniature painting workshop instead of the shorter demo, a choice we now wish we'd made
• For something shorter, the 2 Days Udaipur Tour with Local Art & Craft or the 1 Day Udaipur City Tour skip the Jaipur drive while covering similar ground
• For a longer journey, the 7 Days Golden Triangle with Udaipur folds this Udaipur segment into a bigger Rajasthan and Golden Triangle itinerary

Our Overall Impression

The Udaipur Tour from Jaipur 3 Days lived up to the heritage and romance it advertised, from the history at Chittorgarh Fort to the sunset at Monsoon Palace. Of everywhere we visited on our Rajasthan trip, this stretch stood out as a genuine favourite.
