For Udaipur there are 2 option for budget travel one we choose via bus which took 12 hours From Delhi to reach Udaipur and cost is around 1200/- INR and if you want to travel via train then There are around 2 trains runs from Delhi to Udaipur on a daily basis. The following trains start from Delhi to Udaipur. MEWAR EXPRESS (12963) , CHETAK EXP (12981) its comparatively cheaper than bus 400 INR for sleeper ticket.
