The City of Lakes
Udaipur Travel Guide
Udaipur is built around Lake Pichola and Fateh Sagar — white marble palaces, ghats and havelis that have made it Rajasthan's most photographed city.
Top attractions
- City Palace complex overlooking Lake Pichola
- Jag Mandir and Jagniwas (Lake Palace) by boat
- Saheliyon ki Bari gardens
- Sajjangarh (Monsoon Palace) at sunset
- Bagore ki Haveli for an evening Mewar dance show
Culture
Udaipur is the old Mewar capital — its City Palace museum and the Mewar dynasty's 76-generation history run through most of what's on display.
Local food
Dal baati, gatte ki sabzi, and lakeside rooftop cafés serving both Rajasthani thalis and continental menus.
Best time to visit
September to March; the lakes are fullest just after monsoon.
