| Jodhpur to Jaipur--PLEASE HELP. Anyone know how bad the road is between Jodhpur and Jaipur and how long the drive takes.Also any interesting sites on the way.Originally I planned on flying from Udaipur to Jodhpur staying a couple of days and then flying to Jaipur.However several internet sites say driving is more rewarding and time spent at the airport coupled with delays on India air make driving a better option.Please help. |

| They're probably right about the delays at the airport etc, but I think a train would be your best bet. From memory the scenery's not that great (not enough to take a car over a train, anyway) and the roads can be a bit rough. It takes about 5 hours by train and it's much cheaper than a car |

| And why not take a car with driver from Udaipur to Jodhpur, via the strategic Kumbhalgarh Fort and Ranakpur Jain Temple, with its 1000+ pillars? Interesting journey. Did this last November - 3500Rp for an airconditioned car with driver booked through our hotel. Last edited by Aussie 5; Jan 17th, 2006 at 03:46.. |

| hello, If you can afford it take a private car,be specific in what you want and dont let the travel agent push you around.how ever i wouldnt reccomend the private bus,i have traveled 3 times on them and really did not have a good experience on any of them.I would suggest the train it goes from jodhpur to jaipur get a window seat on a day time train and your set.if you get a chance go to pushkar its a great place to visit and relax on a rooftop drinking chai. Namaste ammadas |

| Hi, I would recommend take taxi from Udaipur-jodhpur-Jaipur, so that you can able to visit Ranakpur Jain Temple, Khumbhal Garh Fort and Pushkar. If you need more info please get back to me. Have a nice trip! |

| Why not just take the intercity express from Jodhour to Jaipur. 5 painless hours in a chair car and youre in Jaipur. The drive would take at least 7 hours in a fast car!!

| I took once state run aircondition bus from Jodhpur to Jaipur and found the road very good as usual in Rajasthan. About sights on the way I did not think of course (it was overnight bus) but think you can visit Pushkar and Ajmer - these two places are not much developed but have lots of interesting sights. |

| Alext, From all reports, the new six lane highway from Jaipur to Pushkar is one of the best in the country! The old road was really bad.
