Where can you park your bike in Udaipur?

If you have read my blog post on “What is the best mode of transport to explore Udaipur?“, you know my mention of unsafe parking, lack of parking facilities, and high parking charges in Udaipur. I will stick with the same as these problems still bother solo travellers in parking bikes in Udaipur. Nevertheless, there are few fair strategic ways out. 

Strategies to safe parking in Udaipur

Don’t mind the money and hesitate to park your bike in the City Palace Complex. It costs Rs. 350 for full-day parking there. Although it is expensive, it is safe. It is a friendly place for parking, as most of the tourist centres are located in and around the City Palace Complex. My advice is to keep City Palace Complex as your first option. The next strategy is to stay in a hostel that provides free parking facilities. That way, you can rent a bike for 2 to 3 days till your stay in Udaipur.

Say ‘No’ to unsafe parking

Speaking of City Palace Complex, the open unoccupied area in front of the City Palace entry point is used by people to park vehicles. It is, however, not an authorised one. And, you can actually park your bike on the side of the road or in an empty area by the road like the natives. But, the only problem is it is not authorised. There is no assurance of safety. That doesn’t mean these places are prone to thievery or other crimes. Yet, you can’t take a risk on a rented bike. And if any mischief happens, it will spoil your whole travel plan in Udaipur. So, say ‘no’ to unauthorised parking for safe solo travel in Udaipur.

Cheap alternative to safe parking in Udaipur

However, there is a cheap alternative to park your bike in Udaipur. That way, you can eliminate the highly-priced parking area of the City Palace Complex. So, look for public parking spaces around the tourist locations. In these places, it only costs between Rs.60 to Rs.100 a day to park your vehicle. Some of the public parking spaces in Udaipur are

  • Lake Pichola area parking complex
  • Karnimata parking
  • Pay and park place
  • Parking near Maharana Bhupal Government Hospital
  • Two-wheeler parking railway
  • Government parking
  • Bapu Bazar parking
  • HRV parking

Park and walk – my trick to safe parking

The good news is all the above-mentioned public parking spaces are near the Jagdish Temple, implying the tourist locations are within your radius. You can park in one of these cheaper public parking areas in Udaipur and walk to nearby places.
