About 90 km from Udaipur, we took a local bus to Ranakpur 2.5 hours @ 80 Rs. Entry fee 200 Rs includes audio guide, men must wear long pants! (or otherwise be forced to rent pajama trousers for 20 Rs)

About 80 Km from Udaipur, we took a bus from Ranakpur back to Saira and changed to Kelwara and from there taxi to Kumbhalgarh (we were told there was a direct line from Saira to Kumbhalgarh but it didn't run when we were there). Coming back to Udaipur we got on a direct (but very crowded) bus from Kelwara. Entry fee 100 Rs, it is possible to walk a complete circuit around the walls of the fort BUT be prepared for about 5 hours of up and down many (many) steps!
