Shri Ekling Ji Temple
Upon arrival at Eklingji Temple, spend a few hours exploring the renowned temple complex. Eklingji Temple is a Hindu temple complex in Kailashpuri, Udaipur, Rajasthan, and is the Kula Devata of the Mewar Dynasty. Originally built by Bappa Rawal in the 8th century, the temple was destroyed by Delhi Sultanate invasions. In the 14th century, Hamir Singh renovated the temple and installed the first extant idol. Rana Kumbha rebuilt it in the 15th century, adding a Vishnu temple. After an attack by Ghiyath Shah in the late 15th century, Rana Raimal reconstructed the temple using the ransom from Ghiyath Shah. Initially belonging to the Pashupata sect, it later came under the control of the Nath sect in the 16th century. After the completion of your Eklingji tour, you will proceed to Nagda.

Sahastra Bahu Temples
The Sahasra Bahu Temples (also called Sasbahu Temples) in Nagda, Rajasthan, are a pair of 10th-century Hindu temples dedicated to Virabhadra. They share a platform, with the larger temple surrounded by ten subsidiary shrines and the smaller by four. The temples display Māru-Gurjara architecture, with a sanctuary, mandapa, open porch, and brick shikharas. While much of the exterior is plain, the interiors and porches are lavishly carved. The smaller temple has a restored shikhara, while the larger remains truncated. The temples are locally known as Sas Bahu, a corruption of Sahasra-Bahu (meaning "One with thousand arms," a form of Vishnu). Nagda was once an important city of Mewar, possibly a capital. In 1226, Iltutmish destroyed Nagda. Nearby is the Adbhutji Shanthinath Jain Tirth or Nagahyuda Jain Mandir, an ancient Jain center. The temples are listed as heritage monuments by the Archaeological Survey of India.

Udaipur temple tour
Beautiful way to spend half a day visiting some historic temples and learn about the history of these beautiful places. In some of the temples there were hardly any people so you get to appreciate it more, unlike some of the crowded attractions in the city. Some great views as the temple complexes are up a mountain. Very informative guide who is also the driver. If you have a few hours I. Udaipur and don't know what to do, would highly recommend this.
Response from the operator: Dear Shevan Silva, Thank you very much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and wonderful review of your Half-Day Eklingji & Nagda Temple Tour.

We are especially happy that you appreciated the peaceful atmosphere and historic character of Eklingji and Nagda Temples. These places have a fascinating connection with the history, culture, architecture, and traditions of Rajasthan, and it is always a pleasure for us to share their stories and local history with our guests. We are also glad that you enjoyed the beautiful mountain scenery and views around the temple complexes.

Excellent half day tour of numerous sites north of Udiapur
Salim was an excellent tour guide and considerate and safe driver. He took me to numerous sites in the beautiful countryside north of Udiapur. Places which would have been difficult to visit on public transport. He was very knowledgeable and provided excellent English descriptions of the historical, cultural and religious significance of the sites of Eklingji and Nagda. It was a morning well spent and I highly recommend this tour.

Excellent driver
Our driver was SALIM. He did an excellent job of communicating the night before and was on time to pick us up and took us to all the places that we were scheduled to go and showed us a few extra things as well. We enjoyed talking with him and his English was very good. Very smooth and easy experience.

Half-Day Eklingji & Nagda Temple Tour by Tuk-Tuk or Car: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Udaipur.
How much does Half-Day Eklingji & Nagda Temple Tour by Tuk-Tuk or Car cost?
+
Prices start at $900 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Udaipur usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Half-Day Eklingji & Nagda Temple Tour by Tuk-Tuk or Car take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Udaipur is not rushed.
Is Half-Day Eklingji & Nagda Temple Tour by Tuk-Tuk or Car worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 24 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Udaipur, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Half-Day Eklingji & Nagda Temple Tour by Tuk-Tuk or Car?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Half-Day Eklingji & Nagda Temple Tour by Tuk-Tuk or Car suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 6. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 4-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Half-Day Eklingji & Nagda Temple Tour by Tuk-Tuk or Car?
+
Around 8 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Udaipur can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Udaipur and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Half-Day Eklingji & Nagda Temple Tour by Tuk-Tuk or Car start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Udaipur within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Udaipur?
+
On Outty we rank every Udaipur experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Full-Day Private Udaipur Sightseeing Tour with optional Guide, Udaipur Sightseeing Tour by Private Car and Privet Tour Guide, Private Udaipur Sightseeing Tour with Guide. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Udaipur?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Udaipur?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
