Begin your trip to Udaipur's historical attractions with a visit to the City Palace. This magnificent palace complex features a blend of Rajasthani and Mughal architecture, and houses several museums showcasing clothing, weaponry and art. Take a stroll through the Palace gardens and enjoy scenic views of the city and Lake Pichola. Don't miss the Light and Sound Show in the evening, which brings history to life.
Next stop is the Jagdish Temple built in 1651 AD. Take a moment to admire the intricately carved sculptures, pillars and ceilings that depict scenes from Hindu mythology. Try to time your visit during the evening aarti (prayer) ceremony, when the temple comes to life with enchanting music and lamps.
Start your day with a visit to Fateh Sagar Lake. Take a boat ride to Nehru Park or explore the pathways on the banks of the lake. Enjoy the tranquil surroundings and scenic views of the Aravalli Hills. If you're feeling adventurous, visit the nearby Zoo or Karni Mata Temple via cable car ride.
Complete your Udaipur trip with a visit to the Saheliyon Ki Bari, also called the Courtyard of the Maidens. This beautiful garden was built in the 18th century and features several fountains, lotus pool and marble elephants. Enjoy a leisurely stroll or simply relax among the beautiful surroundings.
If you have extra time, consider adding a visit to Monsoon Palace, Sajjan Garh Wildlife Sanctuary or the Vintage Car Museum. For a budget-friendly trip, consider substituting City Palace with the nearby Bharatiya Lok Kala Mandal, which features traditional folk art and puppetry performances, or Bagore Ki Haveli, a restored mansion showcasing Rajasthani artefacts and dance performances.
