Gurgaon to Udaipur With a Dog
Around 11 hours of driving, roughly 700km. That is a long day and most people split it over two.
Outbound and return together. Udaipur to Gurgaon differs only in what time of day you set off.
What to expect on the road
Roughly 700km and about 11 hours, traffic depending. About 4 hours from Ahmedabad and 6 from Jaipur on good highway. Easy driving. If travelling in summer, drive at night or very early and never leave the dog in the car.
Railhead if you would rather not drive: Udaipur City station, well connected to Delhi, Jaipur and Ahmedabad.
Leaving Gurgaon
Udaipur lies south west of Gurgaon, roughly 700km by road. Leaving Gurgaon is really a question of which way you cross the expressway. Southbound on NH48 is clear early and solid from about 8am once Manesar traffic builds, and anything through Delhi is worse than going around it. Aim to be past Kherki Daula before seven.

Udaipur in one paragraph
Beautiful in winter and genuinely dangerous for dogs in summer, when surfaces get hot enough to burn paws within seconds. Heritage properties often have stairs and courtyards rather than lifts.

Veterinary access at the far end
Veterinary care available in Udaipur city, reasonable coverage.

Timing it from Gurgaon
Gurgaon shares Delhi's extremes: over 45C in May and June, and difficult winter air. The high rise stock also means many dogs get less ground level exercise than their breed needs, which shows up as weight and joint problems.
Diwali is the peak week for emergencies. Summer heat is the other.
Set that against Udaipur, where the advice is to go october to march and avoid April to June. The overlap between those two windows is your actual travel season, and it is usually narrower than either one suggests on its own.
Doing this journey with your dog
At around 11 hours this is a long day out of Gurgaon, and most people split it. Plan the first stop before you leave, not when the dog starts complaining. Somewhere with shade and a patch of grass inside the first ninety minutes sets the pattern for the rest of the 11 hours, and it tells you early whether this dog travels well. The stop you improvise on a highway shoulder helps nobody.

Water and a collapsible bowl, their own food rather than a new one, the physical vaccination card, any medication, a spare lead, poo bags and an old towel. The vaccination card is the item people leave behind and then need.
