Udaipur Three-Day Itinerary Starting November 28, 2026

Day 1 · Sat, Nov 28
Udaipur

Explore Udaipur’s Old City

  1. City Palace (Old City) — Explore the palace rooms, museum and lake-facing terraces before the lanes get busy (morning, ~2.5 hours).
  2. Jagdish Temple (Old City) — See the intricately carved temple, a short walk from the palace (late morning, ~30 minutes).
  3. Krishna Dal Bati Restro (Old City) — Pause for a Rajasthani thali or dal baati churma (lunch, ~1 hour; about ₹300–₹600 per person).
  4. Gangaur Ghat (Old City waterfront) — Take in the lake views and watch the ghat grow livelier toward sunset (late afternoon, ~45 minutes).
  5. Bagore Ki Haveli (Gangaur Ghat) — Tour the historic haveli and check whether its evening cultural performance is on (early evening, ~1.5 hours).

Saturday, November 28 — Morning

Begin your Udaipur trip at City Palace. Aim to arrive around opening time; allow about 2½ hours for the museum, palace rooms and lake-facing terraces. Entry costs vary by ticket option, so check the current rates at the entrance. The complex has stairs and uneven surfaces, so comfortable shoes will make the visit easier.

Walk roughly 10 minutes through the Old City lanes to Jagdish Temple. Give yourself around half an hour to admire the carvings and soak up the atmosphere. It’s an active place of worship: leave your shoes outside and dress respectfully.

Lunch and afternoon

For lunch, head to Krishna Dal Bati Restro, a convenient Old City stop for Rajasthani dishes. A thali or dal baati churma is a substantial meal; budget about ₹300–₹600 per person. Afterward, wander toward Gangaur Ghat, allowing 10–15 minutes for the direct walk—or longer if you fancy browsing the lanes and shops on the way.

Spend around 45 minutes at the ghat, where the lakeside steps and views make a good pause after sightseeing. The late-afternoon light is especially pleasant, and there’s room to sit and take in the scene rather than rush on.

Early evening

Bagore Ki Haveli sits beside the ghat, so you can continue on foot. Explore its historic rooms and exhibits, then ask about the evening cultural performance; schedules and availability can change, so don’t rely on a fixed showtime. Allow about 1½ hours overall, and arrive early if a performance is running and you want a seat.

Day 2 · Sun, Nov 29
Udaipur

Discover Udaipur’s Lakeside

  1. Lake Pichola boat ride (City Palace waterfront) — Begin your trip with a boat ride for views of the palaces and ghats from the water — morning, ~1–1.5 hours.
  2. Ambrai Ghat (Hanuman Ghat) — Wander the lakeside steps and take in the view back toward the Old City — late morning, ~45 minutes.
  3. Ambrai Restaurant (Amet Haveli, Hanuman Ghat) — Enjoy a lakeside lunch with City Palace views — lunch, ~1–1.5 hours; about ₹800–1,500 per person.
  4. Nehru Garden (Fateh Sagar Lake) — Take a short boat transfer to this garden island for an easy afternoon stroll — afternoon, ~1–1.5 hours including the transfer.
  5. Fateh Sagar Lake (Fateh Sagar) — Finish the first day with a relaxed promenade walk in the evening light — late afternoon, ~1 hour.

Morning — Saturday, November 28

Start your trip at the Lake Pichola waterfront with a morning boat ride; allow 1–1½ hours, including any wait. Boat routes and fares can vary with lake conditions, so check at the ticket counter when you arrive. Shared rides generally cost a few hundred rupees per person; private boats cost more. Afterward, walk to Ambrai Ghat for about 45 minutes among the lakeside steps and views across to the Old City. Take care on the stones near the water, which can be slippery.

Lunch and Afternoon

Have lunch at Ambrai Restaurant at Amet Haveli, beside the lake. Reserve ahead if possible and budget roughly ₹800–1,500 per person. Then take an auto-rickshaw or cab to Fateh Sagar Lake; allow around 20–30 minutes depending on traffic. From the lakeside, take a short boat transfer to Nehru Garden and give yourself 1–1½ hours for the ride and a relaxed wander. Boat service and island access can depend on weather and lake conditions, so check locally before setting off.

Late Afternoon

Return to the Fateh Sagar Lake promenade and take an easy walk as the light softens over the water. Leave about an hour to stroll and pause for a simple snack from a lakeside stall if you fancy one. When you’re ready, arrange an auto or cab back to your hotel; this is a gentle way to ease into your trip, which begins today, November 28.

Day 3 · Mon, Nov 30
Udaipur

See Udaipur’s Palaces and Gardens

  1. Saheliyon Ki Bari (Panchwati) — Stroll the fountains, lotus pool and shaded paths while the morning is cool (morning, ~1 hour).
  2. Moti Magri (Maharana Pratap Memorial) (Fateh Sagar) — Explore the hilltop memorial and take in views over the lake and city (late morning, ~1–1.5 hours).
  3. 1559 AD (Fateh Sagar area) — Enjoy a relaxed lunch in a leafy setting before heading west (lunch, ~1–1.5 hours; roughly ₹1,000–₹1,800 per person).
  4. Shilpgram (Hawala village) — Browse the crafts and traditional-style buildings at this rural arts complex (afternoon, ~1.5–2 hours).
  5. Sajjangarh Monsoon Palace (Bansdara hills) — Finish with broad hilltop views around sunset (late afternoon, ~1.5–2 hours including the uphill drive).

Morning

On Monday, November 30, start around 8:30 a.m. at Saheliyon Ki Bari in Panchwati, when the garden is cool and relatively quiet. Allow about an hour for the fountains, lotus pool and shaded paths. From there, take an auto-rickshaw or cab north to Moti Magri (Maharana Pratap Memorial) by Fateh Sagar Lake. The hill and grounds take roughly 1–1½ hours; wear comfortable shoes and bring water.

Lunch and afternoon

Head to 1559 AD near Fateh Sagar for a leisurely lunch; budget about ₹1,000–₹1,800 per person, and consider booking ahead if you want an outdoor table. After lunch, a cab to Shilpgram in Hawala village typically takes around 20–30 minutes, depending on traffic. Give yourself 1½–2 hours to explore. Check the complex’s current opening hours before setting out, as they can change.

Late afternoon to sunset

Continue by cab from Shilpgram to Sajjangarh Monsoon Palace; allow roughly 30–45 minutes for the uphill drive, plus time for entry and the visit. In late November, aim to arrive by about 4:30–5 p.m. to leave a buffer before sunset, which is around 5:30 p.m. Check the day’s sunset time and current access arrangements, and arrange your return ride in advance—the road is steep, and rides can be harder to find after dusk.
