North-east to the Aravallis
From Gandhinagar, the truck heads north-east past Chiloda to Himmatnagar and on to Shamlaji, then crosses into Rajasthan and climbs through the Aravalli hills past Kherwara and Rishabhdeo to Udaipur. The highway is wide and busy with trucks between Ahmedabad and Delhi, and the hill section after the border has curves and climbs.
Leaving Gandhinagar
Government quarters need a vacating notice and an inspection; towers need the move registered and a lift booked. Load early so the hill section is driven in daylight.
Into Rajasthan
The truck crosses from Gujarat into Rajasthan beyond Shamlaji. Keep the signed packing list, the mover's invoice and your ID in the truck in case of a check.
Where in Udaipur
Udaipur's old city, around the City Palace and Lake Pichola, has narrow, winding lanes where trucks can't go. Hiran Magri, Sector 14, Sukher, Bhuwana, Fatehpura, Shobhagpura and the colonies along the bypass have most of the houses and apartments. Give the exact address and a landmark.
Udaipur homes
Many homes are independent houses with stairs to the upper floor and a roof terrace. Newer apartments want the move registered and a lift booked. Tell your mover about stairs and tight turns.
Why people make this move
Government and bank postings, Udaipur's mining and marble industries, tourism, colleges and family ties across the border draw Gandhinagar families north. If an employer is paying, ask what documents they need; every mover we work with provides a GST invoice.
Season
Both ends are very hot from April to June. The monsoon brings rain to the hill section from July to September. October to February usually suits this route best.
Festivals
Navratri in Gujarat, and Gangaur, Diwali and the tourist season in Udaipur, crowd the roads. Choose a date clear of them.
Students
A student moving to a Udaipur university or college usually needs a few-items move. Check the hostel's dates first.
Packing for the hills
Ask for heavy pieces to be loaded low and tied firmly, extra padding on glass and electronics for the curves, and sofas and mattresses in covers.
Himmatnagar and Shamlaji
Some moves on this route end in Himmatnagar or near Shamlaji's temple town. Give the exact address and a landmark.
Two-wheelers
A scooter or motorcycle can usually travel in the same truck if it is wrapped, photographed and listed separately. Our bike transport service page explains the options.
Shamlaji's temple town
Shamlaji, near the border, is an old Vishnu temple town and a busy stop on the highway. Its Kartik fair crowds the road in November.
Settling in
In Udaipur, ask how the water supply works, since some areas get supply on fixed days, check the inverter, and book internet early. After an interstate move, your vehicle registration may need updating. Our guide to address changes after moving lists the official records to update.
