Outstation Cab Route
Ghaziabad to Ajmer Taxi Service
Ghaziabad to Ajmer is a long day on NH48 through Rajasthan, usually paired with a stop in Jaipur given the distance involved.
Route Overview
Ghaziabad to Ajmer by Road
From Ghaziabad the cab crosses towards Delhi and Gurgaon to join NH48, the main highway into Rajasthan, running via Behror, Neemrana and Kotputli to Jaipur before continuing on to Ajmer. It's a considerably longer drive than Jaipur alone, given the extra distance beyond the city.
Ajmer draws visitors primarily for the Dargah Sharif, one of the most significant Sufi shrines in India, and many combine the visit with nearby Pushkar, which sits a short distance further. Breaking the journey with a night in Jaipur makes the overall trip considerably more comfortable.
The dargah itself can draw significant crowds, particularly on Thursdays and during the annual Urs festival, so timing your visit with that in mind is worth factoring into the day's plan.

Places to Visit
Top Attractions in Ajmer
- Ajmer Sharif Dargah — Built around the tomb of the Sufi saint Moinuddin Chishti, this shrine attracts pilgrims from every faith and ranks among the most visited religious sites in the country. Devotional singing often takes place near the tomb, giving the complex a genuinely moving atmosphere for visitors regardless of their own beliefs.
- Adhai Din Ka Jhonpra — Constructed from material salvaged from an earlier Sanskrit college, this mosque's arched facade blends Islamic architectural styling with carved details clearly inherited from the original building. Its layered history makes it a stop worth more than a quick pass-through visit.
- Ana Sagar Lake — This centuries-old artificial lake is bordered by the Daulat Bagh gardens and a series of marble pavilions added later under Mughal rule. A walk through the lakeside gardens offers a quieter, calmer alternative to the busier atmosphere around the Dargah.
- Taragarh Fort — This hill fort, among the older ones in India, sits above Ajmer and provides wide views over the city and surrounding countryside. Reaching it takes some climbing, but the fort's age and the panorama at the top make it worth the effort for travellers with time available.
Good to Know
Best Time to Travel and Road Notes
Best season: October to March is the most comfortable time, avoiding the summer heat. The annual Urs festival draws very large crowds and needs advance planning if that's your reason for visiting.
Road note: During the Urs festival, road access near the dargah tightens considerably and parking is arranged well outside the immediate area. Outside the festival, this is a manageable long day trip when paired with a Jaipur halt.
Cab Choices
Cab Options for Ajmer
An Innova or similar SUV suits the length of this trip better than a sedan, mainly for comfort over a long day. Sedans work fine for two or three passengers if the trip is split with an overnight stay in Jaipur.
- A sedan is comfortable for this route given the flat, fast highway throughout.
- Families with more luggage or planning a few days of sightseeing often prefer an Ertiga or Innova for the extra space.
- AC works consistently through the drive, which matters more here than on most other routes given how hot the plains get.
- Drivers on this route know the highway well and can suggest a sensible halt if the day runs long.
FAQs
Ghaziabad to Ajmer Taxi FAQs
How long does the drive from Ghaziabad to Ajmer take?
It's a long day given the distance beyond Jaipur, so many travellers break the journey with a night there before continuing to Ajmer. NH48 itself is fast, but the added distance beyond Jaipur makes this longer than a Jaipur-only trip.
Can we visit Pushkar on the same trip?
Yes, Pushkar sits a short distance further and is commonly added on the same trip. Mentioning this while booking helps with planning the day properly, since both places are worth reasonable time.
Is the dargah very crowded?
It can draw significant crowds, particularly on Thursdays and during the annual Urs festival. If you'd prefer a quieter visit, planning around those specific times helps, though the dargah welcomes visitors throughout the week.
Are toll charges included in the fare?
Toll on NH48 is billed separately at actuals, since there are several toll points along the route into Rajasthan. Please confirm this on the call so the total cost is clear before you travel.
Should we stay overnight in Jaipur on the way?
It's a sensible way to break up a long day, particularly if you also want proper sightseeing time in Jaipur itself. Continuing straight through to Ajmer in one day is possible but makes for a tiring trip overall.
Which vehicle suits this route best?
An Innova or similar SUV suits the length of this trip better than a sedan, mainly for comfort over a long day. Sedans work fine if the trip is split with an overnight stay along the way.
What time should we leave Ghaziabad?
An early start helps clear the Delhi and Gurgaon crossing before local traffic builds, which matters more here than on shorter routes given the overall length of the drive.
