Description

This cultural and spiritual day tour from Udaipur offers a blend of Rajasthan's religious heritage exploring three significant sites exploring Shrinathji Temple (Nathdwara) Eklingji and Haldighati
Your day begins with a convenient pick-up from your hotel or designated location in Udaipur, where you'll be greeted by a professional Hindi-speaking guide. From there, embark on a scenic 30-minute drive to Eklingji Temple, a revered 8th-century shrine dedicated to Lord Shiva, considered the guardian deity of the Mewar dynasty. As you walk through its beautifully carved marble sanctums and soaring spires, your guide will explain the temple's rich history, intricate rituals, and legendary connections to the Mewar rulers. After soaking in the temple's spiritual aura, continue your journey to Nathdwara, about a 45–60-minute drive through the Rajasthani countryside.

Arriving in Nathdwara around 10:30 AM, visit the renowned Shrinathji Temple, a sacred site for devotees of Lord Krishna in his child form. Depending on the timing, you'll get to witness the darshan ceremony, an important spiritual experience, while your guide shares insights into Vaishnavism, the Pushtimarg sect, and the temple’s cultural importance. After the darshan, take some time to explore the colorful local bazaar, where you can shop for souvenirs and taste the famous Shrinathji prasad. Please note that photography inside the temple is not allowed, and modest attire is required.

Stop for an delicious lunch at a local restaurant, with recommendations from your guide. Post-lunch, head towards Haldighati, a significant historical site about 45 minutes away. Here, you'll explore the legendary battlefield where Maharana Pratap fiercely fought against the Mughal army in 1576. The visit includes the Maharana Pratap Memorial, the Chetak Samadhi (dedicated to his loyal warhorse), and an optional visit to the local museum and light show. Your guide will narrate the heroic tales of Rajput valor and resistance, making history come alive.

Finally, begin your return drive to Udaipur city, enjoying the views and hearing more about local life and culture. You’ll be dropped off at your hotel in Udaipur city
