Fort to lakes in a day
The two great cities of Mewar are linked by NH 27, a wide highway that runs west from Chittorgarh past Mangalwar and Bhatewar to Udaipur's eastern edge. At about 111 km, a full household can usually be packed in Chittorgarh in the morning and placed in an Udaipur home by afternoon. The last part of the move, in Udaipur's lanes and hills, often takes longer than the highway. Agree the arrival time with the mover in writing.
Leaving Chittorgarh
Many moves on this route start in a cement or zinc township, which needs a vehicle pass, set hours and a handover inspection arranged with the township office. Homes in the old town below the fort may need a smaller vehicle to bring goods to the truck; Gandhi Nagar, Pratap Nagar and Kumbha Nagar are easier.
Udaipur from the Debari side
NH 27 brings the truck past Debari and the airport road into Udaipur from the east, so Hiran Magri's sectors, Pratap Nagar, Sundarwas and the Bhupalpura area are the first parts of the city it meets. Families heading for the lakes have a longer drive in through Surajpole and the old city's gates, and homes in the walled city around the City Palace usually can't be reached by a truck at all, with goods carried by hand from a parking spot. Give the mover a pin location as well as the address, since lanes in Udaipur often share names.
Townships to rented homes
A common pattern on this route is a family leaving a company quarter in a Chittorgarh township for a rented flat or house in Udaipur, often because children are starting college or a job in the city. Township quarters usually come furnished in part, so check which beds, almirahs or appliances belong to the company and must stay behind, and mark your own furniture clearly before the crew arrives so nothing is packed by mistake.
Season and calendar
From April to June both ends are hot enough that loading should finish by mid-morning, with candles, cosmetics, medicines and electronics travelling in your own car. Udaipur is at its busiest from October to March, when tourists and destination weddings fill hotels, lake roads and the old city, and on wedding dates whole streets near the venues can be blocked. Ask the mover to check your street for events before fixing the day.
Weekdays in February, March, October and November usually work best.
Mining, marble and transfers
Udaipur is the headquarters of mining and marble businesses, and many moves on this route are transfers between plants and offices. If an employer is paying, ask what documents they need; every mover we work with provides a GST invoice.
Fort-town furniture
Homes around Chittorgarh's fort often hold heavy sheesham beds, painted wooden chests, iron trunks and collections of brass lamps and copper water pots. Ask for painted wood to be wrapped in soft cloth before blankets so the paint doesn't rub, trunks emptied before lifting, and copper and brass wrapped individually so they don't dent. Jewellery, documents and cash should always travel with you.
Schools and colleges
Udaipur's schools, universities and institutes draw many families and students from Chittorgarh. A hostel room's worth of things can go as a few-items move; for families, check transfer certificates and admission dates before the move.
Settling in
Find out how water and power backup work in the new home, plan cooling for summer, and book internet as soon as you have the address. Hindi and Mewari are spoken at both ends.
