Short answer: yes, you can add Udaipur to the Golden Triangle in eight days. Spend a day in Delhi, then Agra for the Taj Mahal, then Jaipur, and carry on to Udaipur, either by road (about 400 km (250 miles), broken at Chittorgarh Fort) or by a short flight. You finish with two nights by the lakes.
Udaipur is where many travellers want to end a trip to India. It sits on a string of lakes in southern Rajasthan, with a palace on the water, white havelis and sunsets that hold you at the rooftop table longer than you planned. This journey takes the classic Golden Triangle of Delhi, Agra and Jaipur and then carries on to Udaipur.
Jaipur to Udaipur is about 400 km (250 miles) by road, so we split it with Chittorgarh Fort, one of the largest forts in India, about halfway. If you prefer, you can fly from Jaipur to Udaipur or from Udaipur to Delhi at the end, and we can book the flights for you.
You have one driver for the whole road journey and a licensed local guide in each city.
Met at the airport and taken to your hotel to rest. Spend the evening as you wish.
A full day with a licensed guide: Jama Masjid, a rickshaw ride through Chandni Chowk, the Red Fort, Humayun’s Tomb, Qutub Minar and India Gate. The Red Fort is closed on Mondays.
Drive about 230 km (145 miles) to Agra (three and a half to four hours). Visit Agra Fort and the Taj Mahal in the afternoon light with a licensed guide.
Drive about 240 km (150 miles) to Jaipur (five to six hours), stopping at Fatehpur Sikri. Arrive in the late afternoon for a first look at the Pink City.
Amber Fort (by jeep or on foot), the City Palace, Jantar Mantar and a photo stop at Hawa Mahal with a guide, then free time in the bazaars.
A long road day of about 400 km (seven to eight hours with stops). We break it at Chittorgarh Fort, about halfway, for a guided visit, and arrive in Udaipur by evening. A flight from Jaipur is an easy alternative.
The City Palace, Jagdish Temple and the old city with your guide, then a boat on Lake Pichola at sunset, subject to the day’s schedule.
Transfer to Udaipur airport for your onward journey. A flight to Delhi takes about an hour and a half and is not included.
Eight days across Rajasthan is simple to plan and easy to get wrong. These are the details we handle.
The one long drive is split with a guided visit to a great fort, and a flight is available if you prefer to skip it.
We plan the Taj Mahal around the best light and never on a Friday, when it is closed.
A government-approved guide joins you in each city, matched to the language and pace you prefer.
Your guide is chosen for the language you prefer and the things you love. Ask for Japanese or Russian and we will arrange it where we can.
Here is every leg with its distance and likely drive time. Times vary with traffic and stops.

“We actually did 14 days which included a trip to Varanasi, then the Golden Triangle & out to Jaisalmer. Every step of the way we were accompanied by Bobby. Our Driver & coach was super, but focus on detail and ensuring that the safety & wellbeing of individual travellers was met, really put the trip at an all time high!”
“…He was very responsive and was always available when we had any questions. He also recommended hotels and places to stay. He was very flexible with providing guides only for the requested days.”
“A dream come true! Bobby’s expertise and warm hospitality made my Agra trip seamless and perfect. The Taj Mahal was beyond words especially with his talented photography skills.”
“Very awesome experience.. extremely professional and courteous, the chauffeur and the guides were very knowledgeable and knew the way to maneuver the system. They were highly flexible in adapting to any changes in my schedule.”
“I went to India alone and had an amazing experience with my tour guide, shiraz. He showed me all the beautiful places that india has to offer and even brought to places that was not initially planned after requesting it to make sure that I was completely satisfied with my tour.”
“I had an amazing time with Kishan (driver) and Bobby (guide). They both are very polite, nice and easy going. Bobby taught me so many facts and interesting things about Taj Mahal and India Culture in general.”

Yes, if you have eight days or more. Udaipur is quite different from the three cities of the Golden Triangle: it is calmer, with lakes, palaces and a slower pace, and it makes a fitting end to a trip.
About 400 km (250 miles), seven to eight hours by road with stops. We break the drive at Chittorgarh Fort, or you can take a short flight instead.
Driving lets you stop at Chittorgarh Fort and see the countryside, but it is a long day. Flying saves most of the day. We can arrange either.
This journey starts with the Golden Triangle, including Agra and the Taj Mahal, and adds Udaipur. Our 7 Days Rajasthan Tour skips Agra and covers Pushkar, Jodhpur and Udaipur instead.
Yes. Tell us how many days you have and we will adapt the route. A night in Pushkar or Jodhpur between Jaipur and Udaipur is a common change.
Yes. You have your own luxury car, driver and licensed guides. Nothing is shared with other travellers.
The Taj Mahal is closed on Fridays. We plan Agra on any other day, so please share your dates early.
No. We do not include elephant rides. You go up to Amber Fort by jeep or on foot, and your guide takes you through the palace at a calm pace.

Your driver meets you at Delhi airport arrivals or your hotel. Share your flight details and we confirm everything the day before.
8 days / 7 nights. Starts in Delhi and ends in Udaipur, with a private luxury car and licensed local guides.
The Taj Mahal is closed to visitors on Fridays, so we plan Agra on any other day of the week. Please tell us your dates early.
October to March is the most comfortable. December and January mornings and evenings are cold, especially in Udaipur. April to June is very hot, and July to September is monsoon, when Udaipur’s lakes are at their fullest and the hills are green.
The Jaipur to Udaipur leg can be a short flight instead of the drive, and we can book it for you. Tell us your preference when you send your dates.
