Your arrival at Kumbah Hostel
🕒 Check-in is from . Arriving earlier? Most hotels store luggage free — just ask at reception.
🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
Chittorgarh Junction Railway Station → Lake Nahargarh Palace
💡 Avoid the auto-rickshaws asking 200 INR — walk 50 metres left outside the station exit to the main road where you'll find locals sharing rides for 30-40 INR per head.
Chittorgarh Bus Stand → Lake Nahargarh Palace (via rickshaw)
💡 Get off at the Chittorgarh Bus Stand, then take a shared auto-rickshaw towards the fort — tell them 'Basera Choraha' and walk the last 100 metres. Cheapest way but not for heavy luggage.
Chittorgarh Junction Railway Station → Lake Nahargarh Palace, Chittorgarh
💡 Use the government prepaid taxi counter just outside platform 1. Ask for a car with AC even if you pay 50 extra — the summer dust gets into everything.
Udaipur Airport (UDR) → Lake Nahargarh Palace, Chittorgarh
💡 Book through the Rajasthan Tourism counter inside the airport to avoid haggling. The drive via NH48 is smooth but watch for cattle crossing near railway crossings.
Udaipur City Railway Station → Chittorgarh Junction -> Rickshaw to Bassi Fort Palace
💡 Book a seat in Mahamana Express or 19666 for cleaner coaches. From station, haggled rickshaws charge around ₹200 for the 20-min ride to Bassi Fort.
Chittorgarh Bus Stand (RTO Road) → Chittorgarh Fort Haveli
💡 Take any bus heading towards the fort (route #1 or #2). Ask the conductor to drop you near 'Fort Gate' — it's a short walk from there. Don't rely on Google Maps for live bus times.
Chittorgarh Bus Stand (near Railway Station) → Bassi Bus Stop (walk 1.5 km to hotel)
💡 Get off at Bassi stop, then take a rickshaw (₹50) for the last stretch. Buses are crowded and non-AC; carry small change.
Udaipur City Railway Station → Chittorgarh Junction
💡 Book in advance online — the passenger trains fill up with locals. From Chittorgarh station, auto-rickshaws charge ₹150–200 to the fort road; Fort Haveli is a 5-min walk from the main gate.
Chittorgarh Fort Main Gate → Bassi Fort Palace (on the way back from fort visit)
💡 Share a rickshaw with other travellers to cut cost. Confirm fare before boarding; battery e-rickshaws are cheaper but slower.
Maharana Pratap Airport (Udaipur) → Bassi Fort Palace Hotel (Chittorgarh)
💡 Pre-book a taxi through the hotel for reliable rates and avoid bargaining. The scenic route via NH 48 takes about 2 hours; request a clean AC hatchback for comfort.
Maharana Pratap Airport (Udaipur) → Chittorgarh Fort Haveli
💡 Fix the price before you get in — drivers may try to add night charges after 10 PM. The prepaid counter inside the airport terminal is your safest bet.
Chittorgarh Fort (Rana Kumbha Palace) → Chittorgarh Fort Haveli
💡 Flag one on the main fort road — don't call from inside the fort compound. Negotiate before boarding; fixed fare is ₹50, but many ask ₹100. Short walk is actually faster than waiting for an auto.

Top Attractions in Chittorgarh
💡 Go early morning (6-8am) to avoid crowds and heat. Start from the Ram Pol gate for a quieter walk up.
💡 The underground cell is unlit – bring a torch (flashlight) to see the small shrine inside.
💡 Arrive at sunrise to avoid crowds and heat. The climb up the main gate is steep—take a rikshaw from the base if you're not up for walking.
💡 Bring a torch (flashlight) for the inner sanctum, which is dimly lit. The view of the fort from the steps is worth a photo stop.
💡 The caretaker sometimes unlocks the inner sanctum if you ask politely. Combine this with the nearby Kirti Stambh tower for a quick loop.
💡 The best light for photos is late afternoon. Ignore the guides offering to 'show you the hidden room'—it's not usually open.
💡 Visit during the Navratri festival in October – the temple is lit with hundreds of lamps and free prasad is offered.
💡 The stairs are dark and winding—carry a small torch. Go early to avoid queuing, as the staircase only allows one-way traffic.
