If you have ever tried to plan a Vadodara to Mount Abu trip on your own, you already know the problem. Buses take forever, trains don’t run on convenient timings, and driving yourself for six-plus hours through unfamiliar highway stretches isn’t exactly a relaxing start to a hill station getaway. A cab solves that. You get picked up from your door, you sit back, and you’re looking at Nakki Lake by evening.
Krishna Cab Services runs daily taxis from Vadodara to Mount Abu, both one way and round trip, in sedans, SUVs, and Innova Crysta cars depending on how many people are travelling. This page covers everything you need before booking: fares, distance, route, vehicle options, places to see once you arrive, and answers to the questions people actually ask us on the phone.
Booking is simple. You can call, WhatsApp, or fill the form on this page with your pickup point, travel date, and preferred car type. We confirm the booking within minutes and send driver and vehicle details before the trip. No advance cash payment is needed for most bookings, and you can pay online or to the driver at the end of the trip.
Most people booking this route fall into a few categories: families heading up for a weekend at the hill station, couples on a Mount Abu honeymoon trip, Jain pilgrims visiting the Dilwara temples, and corporate groups travelling for offsite events near Abu Road. Whatever the reason, the booking process stays the same.
Fares depend on the car type, whether it’s one way or round trip, and the season (fares rise slightly during Diwali, Christmas, and peak summer months when Mount Abu gets crowded with people escaping the Gujarat heat). As a rough guide:
Call or WhatsApp us for an exact quote based on your travel date. We keep pricing transparent. Toll charges and driver allowance for outstation trips are usually billed separately and we tell you the full breakup before you confirm, not after.
If you only need a drop and plan to return by a different mode, or you’re not sure yet when you’ll be coming back, a one way cab makes more financial sense than paying for the driver’s return trip too. You pay only for the distance covered from Vadodara to Mount Abu, plus applicable driver charges. This is the most requested option for people who are flying out of Udaipur airport after their Mount Abu trip, since Udaipur is a shorter onward drive from Mount Abu than heading all the way back to Vadodara.
For most tourist trips, especially a 2 to 4 day Mount Abu holiday, round trip works out better and gives you more flexibility. The same car and driver wait for you at Mount Abu (or come back on a scheduled date), and you skip the hassle of booking a fresh cab for the return leg. Round trip fares are calculated on total kilometres run, so a longer stay at the destination doesn’t add to your fare, only the driver’s daily allowance for the extra days does.
The distance between Vadodara and Mount Abu is approximately 330 to 340 km by road, and the drive usually takes 5 to 7 hours depending on traffic near Ahmedabad and road conditions closer to the hills.
The most common and fastest route is:
Vadodara → Ahmedabad → Mehsana → Palanpur → Abu Road → Mount Abu
This route runs mostly along NH48, which is well maintained for the Gujarat stretch. The final climb from Abu Road to Mount Abu town covers a series of ghat roads with hairpin turns, so this last section takes longer per kilometre than the highway stretch before it. Our drivers know this stretch well and drive it carefully, especially after dark.
We typically recommend leaving Vadodara before 6 AM if you want to reach Mount Abu with enough daylight left to catch Sunset Point on your first evening.
We’ve been running outstation taxis across Gujarat and into Rajasthan for years, and the Vadodara to Mount Abu route is one of the ones we run most often, so our drivers aren’t learning the road as they go. A few things that set us apart:
Drivers who actually know NH48 and the Abu Road ghat sections, not just a GPS pointing them there. Verified background checks on every driver before they’re assigned outstation trips. Clean, sanitized vehicles checked before every long trip. No hidden charges added at the end of the journey; whatever we quote is what you pay, apart from toll and parking which we disclose upfront. Round the clock booking support, so a 4 AM start for an early Mount Abu arrival is never a problem.
Vehicle | Best For | Approx. Seating |
|---|---|---|
Sedan | Solo travellers, couples, small families | 3 passengers |
Ertiga (SUV) | Families | 5-6 passengers |
Innova / Innova Crysta | Comfort on longer hill routes | 6-7 passengers |
Tempo Traveller | Groups, pilgrimage trips | 9-12 passengers |
If you’re travelling with elderly parents or small children, we generally recommend the Innova Crysta. The extra ground clearance and legroom make a noticeable difference on the ghat section near Mount Abu.
Once you’re there, Mount Abu doesn’t take long to fall in love with. It’s Rajasthan’s only hill station, and after hours in the Gujarat and Rajasthan plains, the cooler air alone feels like a reward. Some places worth building into your itinerary:
Nakki Lake sits right in the middle of town and is the easiest place to start, whether you want a boat ride or just a walk around the edge in the evening. The Dilwara Jain Temples, a short drive from the lake, are known for marble carving so fine it barely looks like stone at all; photography isn’t allowed inside, so it’s worth just slowing down and looking. Guru Shikhar is the highest point in the Aravalli range and the sunrise from up there is worth the early start. Sunset Point and Honeymoon Point get busy in the evenings for good reason, the views over the valley are the kind that don’t translate well to photos. Achalgarh Fort is quieter and less crowded than the main viewpoints, good if you want a bit of history without the crowds. Mount Abu Wildlife Sanctuary is worth a visit if you have an extra half day and want to see the forest side of the hill station rather than just the town. Toad Rock, Peace Park, and Trevor’s Tank round out a well spent second day if your trip is longer than a quick weekend.
Places you’ll pass through or near on this drive: Vadodara, Nadiad, Ahmedabad, Mehsana, Palanpur, Abu Road, and finally Mount Abu itself. If you want to break the journey, Palanpur is a reasonable midpoint for a tea stop, and Abu Road has a few decent restaurants if you’d rather have a proper meal before the final climb.
People ask us why they should book a cab instead of a train or a state bus, so it’s worth laying out honestly.
There’s no direct train from Vadodara to Mount Abu. You’d take a train to Abu Road, which does have a station, and then still need local transport for the final 28 km climb up to Mount Abu town. That last leg is where most train travellers get stuck, because shared taxis from Abu Road station run on their own schedule, not yours, and they fill up fast during peak season.
Buses exist but they’re slower, the seating isn’t built for a 6-hour ride, and you’re at the mercy of every stop the bus makes along the way. Fine if you’re on a tight budget and not carrying much luggage. Less fine if you’re travelling with kids, elderly parents, or you just want to arrive without your back aching.
A cab costs more than a bus ticket, obviously, but it’s door to door, on your schedule, and the driver takes the ghat road at a pace that doesn’t leave anyone feeling carsick. For a group of 3 or more, split across passengers, the per-head cost of a cab often ends up close to what train plus local taxi would have cost anyway, minus the waiting around.
October through March is when most people go, and for good reason. Daytime temperatures sit in a comfortable range and evenings get properly cool, sometimes cold enough for a jacket in December and January. This is also when Mount Abu gets its heaviest tourist traffic, so book your cab a few days ahead if you’re travelling in this window, especially around Diwali, Christmas, and New Year.
Summer (April to June) is when Gujarat gets brutally hot, and Mount Abu becomes the escape plan for a lot of Vadodara families precisely because it’s several degrees cooler than the plains below. It’s busier than you’d expect for a “hill station in summer” trip, so again, book ahead.
Monsoon (July to September) turns the whole region green and Nakki Lake fills up nicely, but the ghat road gets slippery in patches and visibility drops during heavy rain. Our drivers are used to this stretch in the rains, but if you’re prone to motion sickness, this isn’t the easiest season to travel in.
A few things that make the trip smoother, based on what we see go wrong (rarely, but it happens) on this route:
Book at least a day in advance during peak season (October to March, and summer holidays), since car availability tightens up fast. Confirm your pickup address includes a clear landmark, not just a society name, especially for early morning pickups when the driver is navigating in low light. If you’re travelling with young kids, mention it while booking so we can arrange a child seat rather than sorting it out on the day. Keep the driver’s number handy once it’s shared, small pickup-point mix-ups happen occasionally and a quick call sorts it faster than messaging. If you want to add a stop, a temple, a dhaba you’ve heard about, a photo point along NH48, tell us in advance so it’s built into the plan rather than negotiated on the road.
Mount Abu runs noticeably cooler than Vadodara, especially in the evenings and through the winter months, so a light jacket or shawl is worth packing even if you’re travelling from the Gujarat heat. Comfortable walking shoes matter more than you’d think, several of the viewpoints and the Dilwara temples involve a fair bit of walking on uneven ground. If you’re visiting the Jain temples, modest clothing is expected, so keep something appropriate in your bag even if the rest of your trip wardrobe is more casual.
Every driver assigned to this route is verified before being cleared for outstation trips. Vehicles are GPS enabled, so both our team and, if needed, your family can track the trip. Cars are sanitized before outstation runs. Pickup and drop timings are confirmed the night before so there’s no last minute confusion on travel day. Booking itself is done through a secure online process, no need to share sensitive payment details over a phone call.
