As of 2026, there are no nonstop commercial flights between Chennai International Airport (MAA) and Maharana Pratap Airport, Udaipur (UDR). The route's passenger volumes don't currently justify a direct service. All itineraries involve one stop. The most common and convenient connecting hub is Mumbai (BOM), where IndiGo, Air India, and Akasa Air all have strong onward connections to Udaipur. Delhi (DEL) and Bengaluru (BLR) also serve as workable hubs but may add more total travel time depending on the schedule.
IndiGo dominates the connecting market with good frequency through Mumbai and Bengaluru. Air India offers connections via Delhi and Mumbai, which can be attractive if you hold a full-service preference. Akasa Air has a growing Mumbai hub and sometimes offers competitive fares on both Chennai–Mumbai and Mumbai–Udaipur legs. SpiceJet also operates Udaipur routes but with reduced frequency in 2026. Book both legs on the same ticket (a through booking) rather than two separate bookings — this protects you if the first flight is delayed and ensures your bags are checked through to Udaipur.
Chennai to Udaipur is approximately 1,750 km in a straight line. A via-Mumbai routing adds ≈ 550 km of air distance, making the total flown distance roughly 2,100-2,300 km with the connecting arc. The Chennai–Mumbai leg takes about 1 hour 50 minutes; Mumbai–Udaipur takes about 1 hour 10 minutes. With a reasonable 1-2 hour layover in Mumbai, you can arrive in Udaipur in ≈ 4.5-5.5 hours from Chennai departure. Via Delhi the journey is slightly longer — Delhi is ≈ 2 hours from Chennai and another 1.5 hours from Udaipur.
Maharana Pratap Airport (UDR) is a small but well-maintained airport roughly 24 km northeast of Udaipur city. It has one terminal handling both arrivals and departures. Pre-paid taxis and auto-rickshaws are available outside arrivals; a taxi to the city centre or the Lake Pichola area costs ≈ ₹400-600. The airport has limited facilities — a small café, basic duty-free, and ATM — so plan accordingly. Flight schedules can be affected by fog in winter (December–January), particularly early morning arrivals, so build buffer time if you have onwards commitments.
No visa or passport is required for domestic travel within India. A valid government-issued photo ID is sufficient at both security and boarding — Aadhaar card, PAN card, voter ID, driving licence, or passport all qualify. If you are flying with a minor, carry their birth certificate or school ID. E-boarding passes on your phone are accepted at most Indian airports, including Chennai and Udaipur, but carry a backup screenshot if your battery is low. Ensure your name on the ticket matches your ID exactly to avoid boarding complications.
Udaipur is best visited between October and March when the weather is cool and pleasant, making it ideal for exploring the City Palace, Jag Mandir, and the famous lakeside ghats. December and January see the coldest temperatures (sometimes single digits at night) but are also wedding season, which can push accommodation and flight prices up significantly. April through June is hot (40°C+) but sees fewer tourists and often lower fares. The monsoon (July–September) brings green landscapes and dramatic skies around the Aravalli hills — romantic but occasional disruptions to flights. Fares from Chennai to Udaipur are generally lowest September–November outside peak festival windows.
Because there is no nonstop and passengers must connect, Chennai–Udaipur fares via one stop typically range from ≈ ₹5,500 to ₹14,000 one-way in economy, depending on how early you book and the season. Rajasthan tourism demand peaks in October–March, so book at least 4-6 weeks ahead for this window. Budget airlines like IndiGo and Akasa Air often offer the lowest fares on this itinerary. Booking a single multi-city or connecting itinerary on a single airline will usually cost slightly more than two separately priced tickets, but provides better protection if flights are delayed.
On a through-ticket booking, your check-in baggage will typically be tagged through to Udaipur without re-check at the connecting hub. IndiGo's economy fares on domestic routes allow 15 kg checked baggage and 7 kg cabin bag; purchasing a seat with more allowance at booking is cheaper than excess fees at the airport. Air India's economy typically includes 15-20 kg depending on the fare class. Note that your cabin bags are subject to the same size restrictions across all legs (generally 55 × 35 × 25 cm). If you've booked two separate tickets, you'll need to collect bags and re-check at the layover airport.
Udaipur is a compact city best explored by a mix of auto-rickshaw, taxi (Ola and Uber operate here), and on foot around the old city. Rented cycles and e-bikes are popular near the Lake Pichola promenade for a leisurely morning. Avoid fixed-price horse-and-cart near tourist spots — negotiate or use app-based cabs. From Udaipur, day trips to Kumbhalgarh Fort (≈ 85 km), Chittorgarh (≈ 115 km), and Ranakpur Jain Temple (≈ 95 km) are easily done by hired taxi. Rajasthan's roads are generally good, and private car hire for ≈ ₹2,000-3,500 per day is the most flexible way to explore the region. See our destinations guide for more ideas.

October through February is the best weather window for visiting Udaipur — cool, dry, and ideal for sightseeing. For lower fares, September and early October (just before peak season) or April (post-wedding season) often offer the best value. Avoid December and January for budget trips as fares and hotel rates peak.
Chennai to Udaipur prices swing with demand, season and lead time more than with any single airline. The reliable lever is comparison: pull every MAA–UDR fare at once and shift your date by a day or two.
