Offbeat Travel - Jaipur To Chittorgarh

Jaipur - Chittorgarh

How to travel -

- Took local bus from Sindhi Camp. Can go directly there and take the ongoing bus.

-I took 9 o’clock bus. Pretty comfortable and must say, Rajasthan local bus drivers are so punctual!

-Distance- 5 h 53 min (311.2 km)

via NH 48 and NH 48

Where to Stay -

- The main spot of Chittorgarh is it’s Fort. So prefer staying in the fort rather than staying down in the city.

-From Bus station, got an Auto who charged 150/- to drop me up in the fort.

* Only one good Hotel i found was “The Fort Haveli”

-Can use Gps or can ask local people about the location.

-Though it looks a little congested from front but don’t be disappointed. LOOK AT THE INSIDE PICTURES!

-Had one of the best experience in this hotel as it was beautiful from inside, quite vintage but royal.

What to Order?

-Ask for Masala chai & Maggie. Worth every penny!!

-Also at night if you want to have local home food, you need to ask them a little prior so that they can cook nicely.

( Only complaint from the hotel was their delayed service. So better order 2 hours prior to get it on time !!! )

Can’t help but click the interiors of this hotel.

Beautiful & so peaceful.

So if you ask me, you can pretty up cover whole Chittorgarh in one day!

How to Travel in the city ?

-You need to get rented Scooty to roam around the fort and not go breathless,literally.

-Also get a registered guide. It good to roam while knowing the history behind it.

* Scooty on Rent : 500/- for a day

* Guide : 1000/- for a day

So we covered up all famous places along with a local guide.

Places to visited -

-Vijaya Stambha

-Meera temple

-Kalika Mata temple

-Padmani palace

-Gaumukh Kund

-Sound & light show ( I skipped this one)

What to eat locally ?

* A must must try is the “Rajasthani Raabdi”

It’s a very full-filling and is a mixture of corn, curd & some spices.

How to Return ?

Best way is to take a local bus for Jaipur.

* Nearby places to Visit from Chittorgargh !

( via bus seems a perfect & time saving option)

- Kumbalgarh : 3 h 58 min (151.4 km) via NH 758

( There is no direct buses or train for Kumbalgarh, so you may take a bus for Udaipur and then from there you can take a Taxi or local bus to go further for Kumbalgarh )
