1. Bring Comfortable Footwear
This isn’t a full-blown trek, but don’t make the mistake of coming here in slippers or heels. The short uphill trail has loose stones and dusty patches that can get slippery, especially in the early morning dew or after rain. Good shoes mean you won’t be slipping around or ending up with sore feet halfway through.
2. Stay Hydrated
There are no shops or stalls once you start the hike, not even a tea vendor near the top. Udaipur can be unexpectedly hot—even in winter during midday—so carrying a water bottle is a smart move. Especially if you’re someone who likes to sit and chill at the top for a while, hydration is a must.
3. Avoid Weekends If You Want Peace
Bahubali Hills has blown up on Instagram recently, which means weekends can turn into a mini photo-shoot mela. If you’re the kind who enjoys silence, slow mornings, or simply wants to vibe with the view without a hundred people around, weekdays are your friend. Sunrise hours are the best—less crowd, softer light, better pictures, and a whole lot of calm. (I have seen people complaining about wedding shoots all the time.)
4. Respect the Area’s Cleanliness
It might sound obvious, but not everyone follows it. People leave behind plastic bottles, wrappers, and other trash that ruins the whole experience. There’s no cleaning staff or maintenance crew up there. If you bring snacks or drinks, make sure you carry a small bag for your trash. Leave the place better than you found it.
5. Capture the Views But Be Mindful
It’s tempting to just take out your phone and go on a reel spree—and sure, the place is insanely photogenic—but don’t miss the moment while chasing angles. Find your frame, take your shot, but also give yourself five minutes to sit quietly. The lake below, the hills around, and the breeze—this combo is what makes Bahubali Hills unforgettable. Don’t scroll past it while you’re standing in it.
