How to budget for a solo visit to Chaturmukha Jain Temple?

Ishaan Ganesan · 2 weeks ago ·17 replies

I’m a solo traveler looking to visit the Chaturmukha Jain Temple in Ranakpur. Entry is free and it’s open all day, but I’m trying to keep costs low. What are the cheapest transport options from Udaipur airport and nearby bus stand? Also, any budget-friendly lodging close to the temple?

You could catch a local bus from Udaipur airport’s bus stand to Ranakpur; the route is usually the cheapest and takes about two hours. From the Ranakpur bus stop you can walk a few minutes to the temple. If you need a place to stay, the WelcomHeritage Maharani Bagh Orchard Retreat is only a bit over three kilometres from the temple and offers decent rooms without breaking the bank. It’s a good base for exploring the area.

You can also catch a shared auto from the airport to the Ranakpur bus stand; it’s usually cheaper than the city bus and still takes about the same two hours. Once you’re in Ranakpur, the temple is only a short walk from the stop. If you’re looking for a place to stay without breaking the bank, the WelcomHeritage Maharani Bagh Orchard Retreat is a decent option a few kilometres away.

If you want to save even more, you can take the city bus that departs every hour from Udaipur Airport to Ranakpur; it stops right outside the temple and the fare is just a few rupees. After you’re done, a shared auto from the same stop will drop you back to the airport for a low price. For a budget stay close to the temple, the WelcomHeritage Maharani Bagh Orchard Retreat is only about three kilometres away and offers simple rooms without breaking the bank.
