Does Chittorgarh have an airport?
Unfortunately, no. Chittorgarh does not have an airport. The closest airports to the city are Udaipur Airport and Jaipur Airport. If you wish to travel to Chittorgarh, the best way is to take a flight to any of these airports and then take a train or cab, or taxi.
Now, since you are visiting Chittorgarh from Udaipur, the option to travel via air is eliminated. I would recommend that you take the road. This way, you can even enjoy the scenic views from Udaipur to Chittorgarh!

On average, depending on the mode of transport you take, travelling from Udaipur to Chittorgarh should take you somewhere around 2 hours 15 minutes. This time may vary depending on several factors. One of them is whether you take the train, bus or cab.
Ideally, trains take the longest to get to Chittorgarh and then buses. In my opinion, cars are the best way to reach Chittorgarh from Udaipur. This is because, unlike trains and buses, cars do not stop at every junction or station.

The ticket prices of a bus from Udaipur to Chittorgarh vary every day. On average, you can expect it to range anywhere from Rs. 250 to Rs. 600. Again, these prices may vary depending on the bus service you opt for. For instance, if you travel by a non-A/C bus, it may cost you lesser compared to an A/C bus.
However, since the price difference is not that much, I would suggest that you take the A/C bus. It is comparatively more comfortable and safer.
How much does it cost to travel to Chittorgarh from Udaipur via trains?

When I visited Udaipur on my solo trip, I took a two-day trip to Chittorgarh. I boarded a train from Udaipur Railway Station at 6 AM and reached Chittorgarh comfortably at around 8:30 AM.
