Looking for a same day religious tour from Ajmer to Mundwa and Nagaur? This tour covers around 290 to 310 kms round trip, taking around 6 to 7 hours of driving, as a meaningful spiritual experience for Muslim pilgrims. Ajmer Taxi Services’ travel experts have exclusively designed this tour for devotees and pilgrims who want to extend their Ajmer Sharif visit into a deeper Sufi circuit.
For many devotees, this route carries real spiritual significance: Hamiduddin Nagauri spent a year with Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti in Ajmer before being sent to Nagaur for Sufi teachings of love, tolerance, and service. Visiting both Ajmer Sharif and Nagaur Sharif in the same journey is, for many pilgrims, a way of tracing that teacher-disciple lineage in person.
Timings mentioned here are indicative and may shift based on traffic, group preference, and dargah visiting hours. The Tarkeen dargah sees especially heavy footfall during its annual Urs, the exact date of which shifts each year according to the Islamic lunar calendar.

Places covered in this tour:
Mundwa’s local Sufi shrine & temples – A tehsil town is around 20 kms south of Nagaur city. Mundwa is locally regarded as a pilgrimage point. It is a home to a relatively large number of small temples for its size, alongside four traditional talabs – Gyantalav, Lokholav, Pokhandi, and Motelav – that have historically served as the town’s water sources. It remains a place of local devotion rather than a major destination, offering this stop a quieter, more community-rooted character compared to the better-documented dargah.
Tarkeen Dargah, Nagaur – The prime destination on this route is Tarkeen Dargah, the shrine of Khwaja Hamiduddin Nagauri, a 13th-century Sufi Saint. Hamiduddin Nagauri was known for his piety and his commitment to vegetarianism, even instructing, by will, that vegetarian food be served at the dargah in deference to the region’s predominantly Hindu population, a detail still cited today as a symbol of the shrine’s communal harmony. The shrine hosts an annual Urs marked by qawwali, communal meals, and large gatherings of devotees from across faiths.
Nagaur Fort (Optional) – Just a short distance from the dargah, this ancient fort is one of the finest surviving examples of a Rajput-Mughal architectural site. It has gardens, murals, and water features. While not part of the core pilgrimage route, many travelers add it on, given the short distance.
October to March are best for comfortable travel on this long route.
April to June afternoons are best to avoid when desert-belt heat makes a 6 to 7 hour driving trip genuinely tiring.
Urs at Nagaur dargah draws large crowds and is a significant occasion for devotees, but exact dates shift yearly on the Islamic lunar calendar – confirm current dates locally or with the dargah administration before planning a visit around it.
Modest dress is expected at the dargah; visitors are asked to remove shoes before entering and maintain quiet, respectful conduct inside.
Travelers can choose any of these options for car rental in Ajmer, depending on their travel styles:
Sedan (Dzire/Etios) – 4 passengers
SUV (Innova/ Innova Crysta) – 6 to 7 passengers
Tempo travellers – 12 to 17 passengers
Why do people combine an Ajmer Sharif visit with a trip to Nagaur Dargah?
Nagaur Dargah is dedicated to Khwaja Hamiduddin Nagauri, a direct disciple of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti, whose own dargah is in Ajmer. For many devotees, visiting both shrines is a way of following that teacher-disciple lineage in a single pilgrimage.
How far is Nagaur Dargah from Ajmer?
The road distance is approximately 150–160 km, taking around 3 to 3.5 hours one way via Merta Road and Mundwa, depending on traffic.
Is Mundwa's shrine as well-documented as the Nagaur Dargah?
No — Mundwa's shrine is recognised locally as a pilgrimage point, but unlike the Nagaur Dargah, which has a well-recorded history tied to Khwaja Hamiduddin Nagauri and Sultan Muhammad bin Tughlaq, detailed historical documentation on Mundwa's specific shrine is limited. It's best approached as a site of genuine local devotion rather than a thoroughly documented heritage monument.
