Getting Around in Udaipur
- Auto-rickshaws are the primary transport at ₹30–50 for short hops, ₹100–200 across town. Always negotiate before boarding. Ola app works in Udaipur for fixed-price rides
- The old city is compact and best explored on foot, and Lal Ghat to City Palace is a 5-minute walk. Streets are narrow, hilly, and not suited for vehicles
- For day trips (Eklingji, Ranakpur, Kumbhalgarh), hire a car and driver through your hotel for ₹1,500–2,500 per day. Cheaper than multiple auto rides and more comfortable
