UDAIPUR TOURISM

Udaipur is situated in south west Rajasthan. Located at the base of the Aravali mountain range, it has several nicknames — City of Lakes and Venice of the East being the most popular. Udaipur was the historic capital of the former kingdom of Mewar in Rajputana. Lake Pichola, Fateh Sagar Lake, Udai Sagar and Swaroop Sagar in this city are some of the beautiful lakes.

The City Palace of Udaipur is one of the major tourist attractions and Udaipur is one of the most sought-after cities for destination weddings given its palaces and lakes. There is also the Sajjan Garh Palace, named after Maharana Sajjan Singh of the Mewar Dynasty. The palace was built atop a hill in the city, to gaze at the monsoon clouds, giving it a nickname of the Monsoon Palace.

Lake Pichola has four islands: Jag Niwas, Jag Mandir, Mohan Mandir and Arsi Vilas. Among these, Jag Niwas is home to the Lake Palace which is now converted into a heritage hotel. Mohan Mandir was the place from where the king would watch the Gangur festival. Jag Mandir island has a palace of the same name and Arsi Vilas is a sanctuary, home to various species of bird. A boat trip from the City Palace to these islands is a must.

Visit the Eklingji Temple dedicated to Lord Shiva and take a trip to  Nathdwara to pay your respects to Lord Krishna.

If you are staying here for an extended period, do take some time to visit Kumbhalgarh, Mount Abu, Chittorgarh and Jalore Wildlife Sactuary.
