Thinking of taking a short trip to Mount Abu from Udaipur? Well, the easiest way to reach Mount Abu from Udaipur is via car.

How far is Mount Abu from Udaipur?

Mount Abu is at a distance of approximately 163 kilometres from Udaipur. While Udaipur is a regal city in Rajasthan, Mount Abu is quite the opposite. It is a quaint little hill station in the state. And Mount Abu also happens to be the only hill station in Rajasthan and experiences pleasant weather throughout the year. This is one of the many reasons that make Mount Abu a must-visit for every traveller. Even during the summer season, you can expect some relief here, as compared to the otherwise hot and humid weather in other cities of Rajasthan.

On average, buses may take about nine hours to reach Mount Abu. It may seem like a long time, and quite frankly, it is.
