One-way fares
Tolls, parking and state entry charges, if any on your route, are confirmed when you book.
Kumbhalgarh Fort sits high in the Aravalli hills, about 100 km from Udaipur. The distance looks short, but the last stretch is a narrow hill road with plenty of bends, so allow 2 to 2.5 hours each way. It is the most rewarding drive out of Udaipur and one where it helps to have a driver who knows the road.
History
Rana Kumbha of Mewar built the fort in the 15th century, and it is one of the Hill Forts of Rajasthan on the UNESCO World Heritage list. It is best known for its wall, which runs for about 36 km over the ridges and is often called the second-longest continuous wall in the world. It is also the birthplace of Maharana Pratap. The climb to Badal Mahal at the top is steep, but it gives you the view over the hills that most people come for.
Popular day plan
Ranakpur's marble Jain temple is on the far side of the same hills, so many visitors do both in one day. It is a long day in the car, which is when an Ertiga or Innova Crysta earns its fare.

Onward travel
