Udaipur Tourism

Udaipur sits bright at the heart of Rajasthan. Call it the Venice of the East or The City of Lakes, the romance of Rajputana still lives in Udaipur, Rajasthan. Founded by Maharana Udai Singh II in 1568, Udaipur has been witness to valor and bravery for centuries.

SIGHTSEEING IN UDAIPUR

City Palace: Overlooking Lake Pichola, the City Palace is mesmerizing in marble and granite. Marvel at its stunning architecture in several structures that has been symmetrically added over the years by the Maharanas.

Lake Pichola: Maharana Udai Singh planned to make Pichola Lake the centerpiece of Udaipur City, and so it is. The lake stretches 4 km long and 3 km wide. Boat trips present truly beautiful moments to cherish.

The Lake Palace: This Royal Summer Palace perched on the Jag Niwas island is a poetry in white marble. Converted into a heritage hotel, its magnificent reflection on the lake is the ultimate romantic backdrop to the city of Udaipur.

Sahelion Ki Bari: Maharana Sangram Singh built this 'garden of the maidens'. It’s a fairytale with lotus pool, fountains, flowers, glass mosaics and is a delight in itself.
