If you plan a one-day trip to Chittorgarh, or this beautiful city is next on your Rajasthan itinerary, then here are some frequently asked questions that will help you have a wonderful solo trip.

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!

How long does it take to travel 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.

If you are considering having a comfortable and safe journey from Udaipur to Chittorgarh, then I would suggest that you take a cab or taxi. If you are good at driving, then you can even rent a car in Udaipur and reach Chittorgarh at your own convenience!

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?

Well, if you have decided to take a train to Chittorgarh from Udaipur, then you are in for a treat. On average, a train ticket costs between Rs. 150 to Rs. 500. And considering the distance between these two cities, the cost is pretty decent. And if you are someone who enjoys train journeys as much as I do, then you will definitely have a comfortable ride from Udaipur to Chittorgarh.

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. The journey was quite pleasant as well. If you are someone who is on a tight budget, then I will suggest that you take a train too!
