| Bus It or Train It? Udaipur Hi all, 1st trip to India this december and was just wondering which would be better: To take a bus or cab from ajmer to Udaipur? or tke a train from Ajmer to Udaipur? Also, are there any recommendations on good tourist travel operators that can help us tourists in Ajmer? Thanks! |

| What sort of help would you need in Ajmer? You can hire a ricksha or a tonga (horse-drawn carriage) to see the four or six major sites. It's a small town. And from Ajmer rail station, you can get a bus to Pushkar; you'll arrive in half an hour.

| you best take a car/bus from jaipur to udaipur. or catch the lake city express between delhi-udaipur at its nearest point to jaipur. since i live where you do you could have a word with me on the phone about any india related questions you may have. |

| The train is the obvious option. There's an overnight train (2965 GWL UDZ SUP EXP) that departs Ajmer at 00:50 each day and arrives in Udaipur at 06:10. The train has 1A, 2A, 3A and SL accommodation. There's also train 2992 (AII UDZ EXP) that departs Ajmer at 15:55 daily and arrives in Udaipur at 21:20. This train has CC and 2S accommodation. |

| singsub...thanks for your offer. perhaps i will call you if i feel that i cld do with more info. otherwise, i'll just use the forum as a source since its so helpful for a beginner india traveller like myself. getting back, i've decided to skip ajmer since i won't be heading to pushkar. so i'll just night-train it from jaipur all the way to udaipur. you guys think this is a good decision? i'm also wondering how to get to ranthambore tiger reserve from jaipur. is it a long way and shld i get a taxi or bus? cheers and millions of thanks to all!!! |
