There are multiple routes that lead to Alsigarh but the best route is undoubted via Balicha, the broad smooth highway that would comfortably take you to Alsigarh. I started off from the Fatehpura circle, my route was Fatehpura-Sukhadia Circle-Delhigate-Surajpol-Udiyapol-Balicha-Alsigarh-Rayta-Udaipur. If you are a tourist staying in old Udaipur city your nearest point would be Surajpol choraha.
