Best Places to Visit in Udaipur in 2023

1. city palace, udaipur.

The City palace was crafted in 1559, under Maharana Udai Singh’s reign, this majestic beauty looks straight out of fairy tales. Located at the banks of Lake Pichola , the palace boasts of grandeur like no other in Rajasthan – a flamboyant architectural mix of Mughal and Mewar art. A place that leaves you wanting for more, even after the five hours minimal that it will take you to have a ‘quick tour of the place!’ Mor Chowk is an eye-catching court in City Palace.

Entry Fee: Rs. 250 for Adults

2. Lake Pichola

The four-kilometer-long stunning beauty is often compared to Venice in the West. One of the best Udaipur tourist places to soak in the natural beauty – do you know that it and other lakes are the results of the far-sightedness of the Maharanas? Yes, each lake including Lake Pichola is a man-made lake dugout as a water reservoir in the arid city of Rajasthan. And today lakhs visit the banks and even go for boat cruises to soak in its peaceful aura to enjoy the Sunrises and Sunsets. And also to enjoy the lake destinations – Jag Mandir and Jag Niwas, which are world-famous wedding destinations now.

3. Jag Mandir Palace

Right from James Bond Movies to various celebrity weddings, this small yet stunning palace is located at an estuarian island in Lake Pichola – the Jag Mandir palace can be reached via pre-booking through a boat from the Bansi Ghat Jetty. Highlights of this three-story facade, are stunningly crafted umpteen elephant statues, 12 solid marble pillars of the Bara Patharon ka Mahal and the Gul Mahal which once upon a time had walls decorated with rubies. 

4. Fateh Sagar Lake

Yet another jewel in the crown of Udaipur – its second-largest man-made lake which finds its beauty in its surroundings – the majestic Aravalli Hills. Its sunset is a sight to behold – simply serene. And a lot of adventure sports are held in and around this one. An evening walk or cycling around the lake and some amazing street Rajasthani food at the local stalls will be a memory that you will cherish forever.

5. Jaisamand Lake

The second-largest man-made lake, which sprawls across more than one hundred square kilometers, always leaves me in gratitude – thinking of the humongous effort the workers would have put in. What makes this lake stand apart from the other two is the Jaisamand Wildlife Sanctuary – a trek down which leaves you with an experience like no other. Endangered species of flora and fauna, the mesmerizing backdrop of the summer palaces of the Queens of Udaipur, and lush green surroundings – would you have imagined all these in Rajasthan? 

6. Sajjangarh Palace (Monsoon Palace)

Thankfully I visited Udaipur close to the Monsoons to actually understand why Sajjangarh Palace was the Monsoon Palace of the Maharanas. Perched at the highest point in Udaipur, it gives a stunning view of the three lakes and the majestic city that Udaipur is. And in the Monsoons when the greenery is at its best, the city’s beauty is a sight to behold. Tiger Lake and the simple palace are just an add-on.

But Nath Dwara or the Gate to The God’s homes more than it meets the eye. It is renowned as the abode of Lord Krishna’s current idol since the 17th century when the idol was brought here to protect it from Mughal ruler Aurangzeb who was then plundering temples across the North. So it was brought here to be safe under the valor of Rajputana Swords!

3. Lake Badi

Also called the Badi Talab meaning the Big Pond was constructed in the second half of the 17th century to diminish the devastating effects of a famine. In 1973 again, during a severe drought, Lake Badi supplied water to Udaipur which is just 12km away from it. What makes it among the best places to visit near Udaipur is its serenity, which is devoid of any commercial activity near it, and stunning Aravallis protecting its 155 square kilometers vast expanse.

4. Aravalli Ranges

The name Aravalli originated from Hindi literature, meaning “line of peaks”. The role of this mountain range in beautifying Udaipur city is significant. The city lies upon the south slope of Aravalli range in Rajasthan.

5. Haldighati

To reach Kumbhalgarh, you need to cross Haldighati at the 40 km milestone of Udaipur towards the east. The place gets its name from the bloodshed that led to the color of HALDI (or deep Turmeric) to its soil after the great Battle of Haldi Ghati was fought here between Maharana Pratap and Mughal emperor Akbar.

Know for its seven watchtowers, mainly ‘Kirti Stambh’, and ‘ Vijay Stambh ’, the Chittorgarh comes alive as the finest Rajput architecture in Rajasthan. The other highlights here are the splendid Fateh Prakash Palace, the majestic Rana Kumbha Palace. And lastly, the Rani Padmini’s Palace – that needs no introduction post the legendary Bollywood film Padmavat recreated the history of the Rajputana women and their supreme sacrifice.

Located just 163 km from Udaipur, you can reach this place via a private taxi or even the train.

          View this post on Instagram                       A post shared by ＯＭ ＢＡＮＮＡ ＳＡ (@ombanna_temple)

Also, known as the Bullet Baba Temple is famous for its supernatural history. The legend has this Om Banna or Bridegroom Om Singh Rathore met with a fatal accident at this place, which is 11km from Udaipur. His motorbike that was found here, was attempted several times to be removed from here, but mysteriously it always came back to this spot all the time. And since then, this site of supernatural significance keeps attracting young and old alike, especially by those who buy new vehicles in and around Udaipur. And come for blessings of Om Banna. 

11. Umaid Bhawan Palace

It is actually one of the largest, Royal yet private residences in the world. Though it is still the home to the Royal Family of Jodhpur, yet most of its area is open to tourists. One part of the Heritage Hotel where you can actually stay and boast off that you stayed in a real palace! And the remaining part of the palace is the stunning museum in this majestic mansion, which showcases the history of the royal family of Jodhpur since its inception. It also houses vintage automobiles of the royal family.

So what are you waiting for? Pack your bags for Udaipur. Because the best time to visit Udaipur is from September to March. But for those who are game enough to have fun even in summer, then even July to August isn’t a bad idea either. Just avoid April to June when the temperatures reach up to 45 degrees Celcius these days!

Planning a trip to Udaipur and want to know where to go and what to do? Here are the best places to visit in Udaipur in 3 days!

13 Amazing Places to Visit in Udaipur in 3 Days

In this article, we share our 13 favorite attractions , eats , and other places to visit in Udaipur in 3 days—plus where to stay in Udaipur , how to get to Udaipur from Jaisalmer (and Jodhpur), the top things to do in Udaipur, and much more!

Why three days? Well, we’ve found that that’s about the average length of time travelers we’ve spoken to plan to stay in Udaipur.

After a few days in this evocative and one-of-a-kind place, however, don’t be surprised if you find yourself hungry for more!

🔥 Hot Tip 🔥

If you want to make the very best use of your time and money, we recommend booking one of these city tours with a local guide.

Udaipur is a unique and fascinating city with a rich heritage and we feel like we definitely short-changed ourselves by not doing one during our stay.

Find all of the 13 amazing places to visit in Udaipur, India on our custom, interactive map, above. Read on to learn about each one in more detail (and why they’re worth your time!).

We’ve included this map to give you a sense of the location of all the places to visit in Udaipur included in this article.

The center of the city is very walkable, though tuk-tuks (auto-rickshaws) are available near the waterfront as well as deeper into town.

No matter how you end up in Udaipur, it’s hard to deny that this is one great city to wander around in for a few days.

While certainly showing its age (much of the city dates from the 16th century, after all), Udaipur is a beautiful place built around a handful of lakes and surrounded by dramatic mountains.

Owing to its historic city center and dramatic scenery, Udaipur has served as the setting for a number of Hollywood and Bollywood movies, most notably the James Bond movie Octopussy , which they really play up in these parts. In fact, a number of venues offer daily screenings of the film.

Udaipur is also popular for weddings and honeymoons and is often billed as the most romantic city in India.

Walking around central Udaipur not only gives you a sense of the history and culture of this amazing city, but also offers endless opportunities for getting lost in its bustling streets and winding alleyways.

And the best part is, you never know what you may find around the next corner…

Chatting up the locals in the city center was also one of our favorite things to do in Udaipur.

This part of town receives a lot of international tourists, and local residents here seem to speak a lot more English than we’ve encountered in other cities across India.

But the best part about chatting up locals in central Udaipur might just be the relaxed atmosphere and absence of the high pressure touts we’ve encountered in places like Agra, Varanasi, and Delhi.

Take the time to tour one the multitude of Havelis (historic mansions) in Udaipur. The city is full of these beautiful places!

Or, better yet, stay the night in one!

We recommend checking out Jagat Niwas Palace (from US$113) for the ultimate 17th century Udaipur Haveli stay in the heart of the the city, just steps away from the City Palace. Jagat Niwas features Ayurvedic massages, horseback riding, folk puppet shows, and one of the best lake-side restaurants in Udaipur!

Just northwest of Jagat Niwas, check out Amet Haveli (from US$119) for another excellent heritage stay near the center of Udaipur’s best attractions. Amet Haveli may be a bit farther away from the action than Jagat Niwas, but the reward is amazing views of the City Palace and Udaipur skyline.

We stayed in Dream Heaven Haveli and enjoyed our time there. However, that was a few years ago and reviews aren’t so stellar these days. But if you’re looking for an economical place to stay (rooms start at US$14/night) near the heart of the action with A/C and phenomenal city views, Dream Heaven Haveli might fit the bill.

Looking for a more luxurious stay for a special occasion? Check out our detailed guide to the very best hotels and resorts in Udaipur .

Ghats are those steps you see in a lot of river and lake towns in India running down into the water. Some are holy and/or historic places, while others just make for a stunning place to rest.

Ghats are some of the best places to visit in Udaipur for spectacular views and unique insights into daily life.

Four ghats you should definitely check out are Gangaur Ghat (the “ultimate sunset point” in town), Ambrai (Hanuman) Ghat for stunning city views and delicious food, Laal Ghat , a holy site for pilgrims and devotees, and Nav Ghat , the city’s boat dockyard.

Short on time? See the ghats by boat!

Taking a guided ghat tour and boat ride offers a unique perspective on this ancient and atmospheric city on the lake.

One important thing to note about Lake Pichola is the variable water level. We visited Udaipur toward the end of the monsoon season when the lakes were at their deepest. Yet, large portions of the lake actually dry out for much of the year, making for a popular recreational area for residents (see below).

Hit the weather and the crowds right and you might very well discover that the ghats end up being among your very favorite places to visit in Udaipur in 3 days!

You can’t spend three days in Udaipur without visiting one of the most historic and beloved places to visit in Udaipur – the City Palace.

Heck, the palace is so conspicuous, it’s virtually impossible to escape a view of it!

The City Palace is actually a number of separate palaces constructed over a span of 400 years. The entire complex is now a museum open to the public, except for Shiv Niwas Palace and the Fateh Prakash Palace which both have been converted into heritage hotels.

Get your tickets at the door or skip the line and  reserve a tour in advance online .

The palace houses a number of artifacts, paintings, and decorative furniture once used by its former royal residents.

City Palace is one of the top places to visit in Udaipur, so make sure you buy your tickets as soon as you arrive in town.

Part of our City Palace ticket included access to the palace boat docks from where you can catch a ferry out to Jag Mandir , one of Udaipur’s famed lake palaces.

While it’s not the Lake Palace ( Jag Niwas ), it’s certainly worth the journey and the time strolling around the grounds.

There is a cafe operated by a local hotel group within the palace courtyard. However, if you’ve spent the last month backpacking around India like we have, you may find the cafe prices a bit hard to stomach.

From the ferry to (and from) Jag Mandir, we got a close-up view of the famous Taj Lake Palace Hotel (not to be confused with the Taj Mahal in Agra or Taj Mahal Palace Hotel in Mumbai, of course).

Scenes from 007’s Octopussy were filmed here and now it’s an exclusive hotel.

For many visitors, Lake Pichola is a highlight of their visit and one of their favorite places to visit in Udaipur.

Celebrating a special occasion? Want to tour Jagmandir Island Palace in style? Dine like royalty on Jagmandir Island with this romantic and personalized 3-course dinner overlooking the sparkling lights of historic Udaipur. Boat transfer and land transfer from your hotel included.

If you’ve got three days in Udaipur, you might as well get some ink done.

Mehndi art “tattoos” aren’t really tattoos at all, but intricate ink (henna) designs that fade after about two weeks.

Lori’s Mehndi, a day or two later, after the paste had dried and fallen off. We were pretty impressed with the work.

Make sure you choose a reputable place to get your Mehndi done, as less scrupulous parlors across India have been known to use caustic chemicals that can leave permanent scars. It’s also worth noting that some people have reported allergic reactions to the henna dye. With all that said, Lori’s experience was very positive.

Jagdish Temple  was located very close to our guesthouse, but we waited to visit it until our last full day.

Call it temple burnout or just bigger fish to fry in Udaipur, but Jagdish ended up at the bottom of our shortlist of things to do in Udaipur.

But we were so glad we did fit it into our visit and encourage others to visit as well.

Jagdish Temple is not to be missed if you happen to be in this part of town. It quickly became one of our favorite places to visit in Udaipur.

We enjoyed viewing the Monsoon Palace at sunset every evening from our guesthouse balcony. And eagerly waited for a weather window to visit the famous landmark.

Even if you’ve only got three days in Udaipur, the Monsoon Palace is so iconic, we still recommend you try to fit a visit in. The best way to do so in a limited timeframe is by going with a tour.

There are a number of tour companies in the city center that offer day trips, and many guesthouses and hostels can also arrange a trip as well. You can even book a private sunset tour of the Monsoon Palace online!

If you aren’t able to squeeze a visit in, not to worry. There are still plenty of other places to visit in Udaipur in 3 days!

Places to Visit in Udaipur in 3 Days – Favorite Bites

We found Udaipur to be a most agreeable place in no small part due to the food!

Udaipur has a great selection of cuisines and the food is top-notch, not to mention that the views at some of the places we ate were worth the cost of the meal, alone.

Here are a few of our favorite eating places to visit in Udaipur:

Chandni at Jagat Niwas Palace Hotel topped our list of favorite places to visit in Udaipur for dinner — a bit pricey for India (ran us around US$13 and we generally share a thali or entree/appetizer) but well worth it.

The dining room is in a really cool setting surrounded by the palace with a great view of the lake.

The restaurant serves Indian, Continental, and Chinese dishes, but they are known for their local specialties.

Ambrai was perhaps our second favorite place to eat in Udaipur, with great views of the city, and within a short walk of our guesthouse.

Also a bit pricey by India standards (US$10 splitting a meal), but worth it. Most people seem to visit Ambrai for the atmosphere and the tasty tandors!

These two cafes are right next to each other, offering good coffee, tasty pastries, sandwiches, and European breakfast offerings that were better than most attempts we’ve come across in India.

If you’re from Europe or North America and missing a taste of “home,” these two places might quench your craving.

Learn to Cook Your Favorite Indian Dishes in Udaipur!

There are a number of excellent cooking class options available for visitors to Udaipur. This private 4-hour Indian cooking class is one of the best values we’ve seen. We really wish they had this when we were staying in Udaipur!

Note to our readers: Please be aware that train and bus information in India changes frequently. Please let us know in the comments below if there’s anything in this section in need of an update. Many thanks in advance!

Taking the Train from Jaisalmer or Jodhpur to Udaipur

Udaipur is located in the northwestern state of Rajasthan, about 250 miles southwest of Jaipur.

Coming from Jaisalmer, it wasn’t immediately clear how to get to Udaipur, as there is no direct rail link between the two cities, which we found incredibly surprising given India’s vast network of rail.

Even if we had backtracked to Jodhpur, there’s still no direct service, even though Jodhpur and Udaipur constitute two of the most significant population centers in the state and are only about 150 miles apart.

We did find, however, that if you wanted to travel exclusively by rail , you can take the overnight train from Jaisalmer to Jodhpur, then hop the train to Marwar Junction, change for Ajmer Junction, then on to Udaipur — a very long journey for a very short distance!

Or…better yet…you can do what we ended up doing and take the overnight train from Jaisalmer to Jodhpur and catch the early morning express bus to Udaipur , which only took us about five hours and cost far less than piecing together a rail journey.

And best of all, it’s a surprisingly scenic ride over mountains and through jungle (more on that below).

Taking the Express Bus from Jodhpur to Udaipur

In India, the government buses generally seem to be the safest based on our own experience and from what people have told us. We’ve found them to be reliable and generally on-time as well.

To catch the government bus in from Jodhpur to Udaipur, we got off the train from Jaisalmer a stop early at  Raika Bagh , rather than taking the train all the way to Jodhpur station. Raika Bagh is where the government bus stand is located .

From the train station, it’s less than a five-minute walk out and around to the bus stand.

Our overnight train from Jaisalmer arrived at 5:10am and the bus to Udaipur was scheduled to leave between 5:30am and 6:00am. We purchased tickets for the bus at the bus stand right before departure, and were satisfied with the level of comfort and safety of our bus journey.

Private Transfer from Jodhpur to Udaipur

If that all sounds like to much work (or you just don’t want to mess with a 5:30am departure), there are plenty of private shuttle options available too.

This top-rated private shuttle from Jodhpur to Udaipur is an excellent option for US$45 and even includes a stop-off at the Ranakpur Temple .

Great article and very informative . Planning my next trip to Udaipur. It’s a very detailed and elaborate information for touring. Thanks.

Thanks, Brinda! So happy you’ve found it helpful. Have a great trip!

Came back home after spending entire week in Udaipur. Excellent weather, honest & tourist friendly local folks

Udaipur is always my favourite place to drop by, have visited the lake palace and city palace many times just for seeing the magnificent sculptures. I suggest people never miss out on visiting Udaipur.

i came to your blog and Appreciated, I am really glad to be here. thank you for showing such blog to us and udaipur is really a great place for travel.

Wow, such a beautiful article you have shared. Udaipur is a very attractive place, I would recommend that everyone should visit this- city of lakes at least once. I have also visited some places in Udaipur Rajasthan. Really Udaipur is a beautiful place, its culture is mind-blowing.

Udaipur is a nice destination for travel. Lot’s of things are there in Udaipur, and most of the different things are culture. Great historical places in Udaipur. You shared the info about Udaipur travel is very helpful for tourist. Great guidance!

Hi David, you wrote an excellent blog! 🙂 I need a suggestion on which boat tour you opted for on the city’s boat dockyard? I am looking for a decent boat ride in lake Pichola and please mention the price also.

Hi Ravi, thanks for your comment! When we visited a few years back, there weren’t nearly as many options for lake tours as now. Our boat tour was included in the price of the City Palace entry fee, and we were simply told afterwards to head to the landing to catch the boat. If we were visiting in 2021, we’d combine the boat tour with a city tour and probably do something like this one .

Thanks for sharing it with me David. I Will definitely go through the itinerary. Grey langurs image is great. Did you go near to them?

Glad to hear it, Ravi. No, we stayed a distance away. But they were fun to watch!

19 Best Things to Do in Udaipur, Rajasthan

Regal City of Lakes and Palaces

aladin66 /Getty Images

Udaipur, Rajasthan's "white city", is often called the most romantic city in India because of its famed lakes and palaces. Therefore, it's only natural that they feature prominently in the top things to do in Udaipur. Experiencing Udaipur is all about reliving royalty and appreciating the city's regal beauty.

Check out these places to see around Udaipur too. There are many interesting day trips and side trips to go on. If you don't mind the heat, try and catch Udaipur's biggest festival, Gangaur, in March or April (it happens a couple of weeks after Holi each year). The Mewar Festival is held alongside it and celebrates the region's culture.

Explore the City Palace Complex

Elena Odareeva/Getty Images

How did Rajasthan's royal rulers survive after India became a democracy and their states merged into the Union of India? They converted their palaces into hotels and tourist attractions in order to generate an income. Udaipur's City Palace Complex , belonging to the Mewar royal family, really sets the standard as far as such heritage tourism is concerned. This all-encompassing destination incorporates two authentic palace hotels (see below) and the City Palace Museum . Plus, a collection of vintage cars and Jag Mandir, a pleasure palace on an island in the middle of Lake Pichola. It's the largest palace complex in Rajasthan.

Wander Through Bagore Ki Haveli

Bagore Ki Haveli provides a further fascinating look into the lifestyle of the royal family and culture of the region. This sprawling mansion, built in the 18th century on the edge of Lake Pichola at Gangaur Ghat (where you can sit by the water), was once the residence of the Prime Minister of Mewar. It was converted to a museum after five years of restoration work in the late 1980s and is a joy to wander through. Inside there are more than 100 rooms, courtyards, and terraces, many with beautiful frescoes and fine mirror work. Royal paintings, costumes of the kings, personal items, and traditional Rajasthani arts and crafts are on display. There's also a puppet gallery and turban collection with the world's biggest turban. The Haveli is open daily from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. A folk dance performance and puppet show is held from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Boat on Lake Pichola and Fateh Sagar Lake

Zzvet/Getty Images

Lake Pichola and Fateh Sagar Lake (to the north of Lake Pichola and connected by a canal) are the most popular of Udaipur's man-made lakes. A boat ride on Lake Pichola gives a whole new perspective ​on the city, especially the City Palace Complex. There are a couple of options, depending on what you want to see and how much you're prepared to spend. To visit Jagmandir Island, you'll need to take one of the boats that depart from Rameshwar Ghat in the City Palace gardens (a small fee is payable to enter the City Palace if you're not staying at a hotel there). Tickets cost 500 rupees per person for the regular boat ride during the day, and 800 rupees per person for the sunset boat ride. Cheaper public boat rides depart from the jetty at Lal Ghat. A lesser-known option is to get a boat from Dudh Talai adjacent to Lake Pichola. You can explore Fateh Sagar Lake by renting a boat from the bottom of Moti Magri (Pearl Hill).

Soak Up the View from a Rooftop

pawopa3336/Getty Images

The numerous rooftop restaurants on Lal Ghat, Gangaur Ghat and Hanuman Ghat provide a fabulous panorama of Lake Pichola. For something special, including a superb view of the the City Palace, head to Upre by 1559 A.D. atop the Lake Pichola Hotel near Hanuman Ghat. On the other side of the lake, Sun and Moon Restaurant on the rooftop of Hotel Udai Niwas at Gangaur Ghat is sought-after for its view. At Lal Ghat, try the rooftop restaurant at Jaiwana Haveli or Jagat Niwas Palace Hotel .

Watch the Sunset at Ambrai Ghat

Udaipur has many vantage points for photography but arguably the best one is Ambrai Ghat, especially at sunset. It's located directly opposite the City Palace and also fronts the Lake Palace hotel, so you have an unsurpassed view of both as their lights are turned on. To get there, head to the Hanuman Ghat area and keep walking along the road that runs parallel to Lake Pichola as far as you can, past the Amet Haveli hotel and Ambrai restaurant. Do be aware that Ambrai Ghat is a popular local hangout for couples. (Of course, locals know the most romantic spot with the best views in the city!)

Visit Jagdish Temple

This imposing white Hindu temple, with intricate architecture and carvings, is an unmissable landmark in the Lal Ghat area near the entrance to the City Palace. It was built by Maharana Jagat Singh in 1961 and houses a black stone idol of Lord Jagannath, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu who's regarded as the preserver of the universe in Hinduism. The highlight here is the evocative aarti (worship ceremony) every sunrise and sunset.

Take a Heritage Walking Tour

A heritage walk through the streets of Udaipur is a great way to immerse yourself in the City of Lakes and Palaces. The Walk Down Memory Lane tour conducted by Walk and Pedal is one of the best. You'll get to see goldsmiths at work, witness temple rituals, visit quaint shops selling everything from shoes to books, and enjoy panoramic city views. Also check out the dawn and dusk tours conducted by Vintage Walking Tours . In addition, this insightful Udaipur Heritage Walk offered by Virasat Experiences is recommended for engaging with local artisans. It provides an opportunity to meet communities that make jewelry, pottery, and bamboo craft. You'll learn about local traditions, customs, and beliefs too.

Stay at an Authentic Palace Hotel

Blaine Harrington III/Getty Images

Udaipur's mystical Lake Palace hotel appears to float in the middle of Lake Pichola. It was built by the Maharanas of Mewar as a pleasure palace in the 18th century. The royal family restored and converted it into a palace hotel in 1963, and then leased it out to the luxury Taj hotel group in 1971, as a way to maintain it. A further restoration was undertaken in 2000, making the property one of the finest heritage hotels in India. It has even had a Hollywood moment when scenes from the famous James Bond Octopussy movie were filmed there. The only way to visit the hotel is to stay at it, so splurge and treat yourself to at least one night of indulgence! The Taj group recently took over the management of the Fateh Prakash Palace Hotel , inside the City Palace Complex, too. The other option for an authentic palace stay is the Shiv Niwas Palace Hotel . It also features in Octopussy.

Sample Traditional Mewari Cuisine

RakeshPicholiya/Getty Images

The Rajput rulers of the Mewar region, who founded Udaipur, were avid hunters. Meat-based dishes are therefore a feature of Mewari-cuisine, in contrast to predominantly vegetarian Rajasthani food. Laal maas (red mutton curry) is an iconic Mewari dish that's fiery hot. Apparently, the royal cooks spiced it up to hide the aroma of the game meat that was used at the time. The dish has a prominent place on the menus of restaurants that serve Mewari food in Udaipur including Hari Ghar , Khamma Ghani , Upre , Ambrai , and Paantya at the City Palace. In addition, the Bedla family serve recipes that have been handed down over generations at their heritage restaurant Royal Repast , located in their home.

Take an Indian Cooking Class

Udaipur is a fantastic place to expand your culinary skills by taking an Indian cooking lesson. You'll learn all about the different spices and secrets to preparing Indian food. Sashi's cooking classes are among the most popular. She has a reputation for being a friendly and lively teacher, and she conducts introductory classes twice a day with her son at her place at Gangaur Ghat. Mamta's cooking classes are recommended too. She offers four different menus, ranging from basic to super deluxe. The classes take place for lunch and dinner daily near Chandpole. Alternatively, Sushma provides cooking classes at the Krishna Niwas Guesthouse at Lal Ghat. You can choose the individual dishes you want to prepare. The extensive options include north and south Indian dishes, Rajasthani classics, and desserts.

Get a Dose of Culture and Shop at Shilpgram

Olmoroz/Getty Images

Shilpgram (meaning "craftsmen's village") is a rural arts and crafts complex, located on the outskirts of Udaipur. It was set up by the government in 1986 to showcase rural life and traditions from Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Goa. The complex has huts from each of the states, incorporating their distinctive architectural features. Artisans also sell their wares and perform folk dances. Horse rides and camel rides are offered as well. The complex really comes alive during the 10-day Shilpgram Arts & Crafts Fair in late December.

Buy Art or Make Your Own

Atlantide Phototravel/Getty Images

Udaipur is renowned for its traditional art, particularly the colorful miniature paintings that originated there in the 16th century. A recommended place to buy them is Gothwal Art near Gangaur Ghat. The lovely owners of this gallery are artists themselves and prices are very reasonable. It's possible to learn the technique by participating in a workshop, such as the ones offered by Vedic Walks . Jal Sanjhi is another rare 200 year-old art form that can be learned in this painting demonstration . It involves painting on water and is a tribute to Lord Krishna. If you're interested in other types of art and handicrafts, this Spirit of Art tour comprises visits to a block printing center and book binding shop, painting demonstration, and sword making demonstration.

Give Some Love to Rescued Street Animals

Animal Aid Unlimited

Animal Aid Unlimited runs one of India's busiest street animal rescue services and hospitals. More than 75,000 animals have been treated there since the organization was founded in 2002. The sanctuary is home to about 150 animals including cows, donkeys, dogs, and cats. It's a happy place that encourages and welcomes visitors. You'll be able to play with and comfort the animals, and receive a whole lot of love back from them. Tours take place throughout the day at the following times: 10.30 a.m., noon, 2.30 p.m., and 3.30 p.m. Volunteer opportunities are also available.

Ride Around Udaipur on a Bicycle

Feeling energetic? The Art of Bicycle Trips introduced bicycle tours in Udaipur in 2013 and they've become a popular way of seeing the city. Their three-hour lakeside city loop will take you through the countryside past the major lakes (Pichola, Fateh Sagar and Badi), mountains and small rural hamlets. On the way, you'll be able to spot various birds and animals. The tour runs daily from 7.30 a.m. to 10.30 a.m. and costs 2,000 rupees per person.

See the Cenotaphs of the Royal Family

Off-the-beaten-track yet just east of the city center, the Ahar cenotaphs honor deceased members of the Mewar royal family. There are 372 white marble cenotaphs that have been constructed over centuries at the place where the bodies were cremated. About 20 of them belong to past kings and hold great significance. The site also has a holy step well, and small archeological museum that's dedicated to ancient settlers of the area.

Relax in Udaipur's Regal Garden

Guillaume CHANSON/Getty Images

Continue tracing the heritage of the Mewar royal family at Saheliyon ki Bari (Courtyard of Maidens), which was built by Maharana Sangram Singh -- popularly known as Rana Sanga -- next to Fateh Sagar Lake in the 18th century. This elegant garden served as a recreation space for the royal ladies. It's filled with a lotus ponds, sculptures, marble pavilions, fountains, trees, and more than 100 rose bushes. The impressive cascading rain fountains were added by Maharana Bhupal Singh in the late 19th century and imported from England. These days, the garden attracts many local families, and young canoodling couples who aim to get privacy away from prying eyes.

Admire the View from Monsoon Palace

The Monsoon Palace (also known as Sajjan Garh) can be seen from Udaipur, perched high on a hill above the city. As its name suggests, it was a favored destination of the royal family during the monsoon season. The palace belonged to the Mewar royal family until it was placed in government hands. Despite its dilapidated condition, it's a popular sunset spot due to its unsurpassed view over Udaipur. Those who are familiar with James Bond's Octopussy movie will also recognize the palace as the home of the principal villain, Kamal Khan. The drive to the palace takes around 30 minutes and passes through Sajjan Garh Wildlife Sanctuary Biological Park. Auto rickshaws aren't allowed to enter the park. So, it's best to rent a car or take the special minivan that departs from the entrance to Bagore ki Haveli at 5 p.m. daily.

Get Wild at Sajjangarh Biological Park

Veena Nair/Getty Images

Sajjangarh Biological Park surrounds the Monsoon Palace and can be visited on the way. The main attractions are trekking trails and a zoo. As far as zoos in India go, it's not bad, with spacious enclosures spread over a wide area. Electric golf carts can be rented to see all of it at a cost of 50 rupees per person, or 400 rupees for a private cart. There are about 20 types of animals and reptiles including lions, tigers, leopards, sloth bear, deer, ostrich, porcupines and turtles. The park is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily except Tuesdays. Entry tickets cost 35 rupees per person for Indians and 300 rupees for foreigners. Do be aware that many of the animals sleep during the day, so it's best to visit after 4 p.m. You'll probably want to give it a miss if you don't have children though.

Ride the Mansapurna Karni Mata Ropeway

Nicole Silvestri/Getty Images

Red cable cars ferry sightseers on short trips (five minutes one-way) up the hill from Deen Dayal Park at Dudh Talai to Karni Mata temple . There's a viewing platform there, and it's another notable location for seeing the sunset over the city. Do be aware that the line and waiting time to buy tickets can be lengthy. Tickets cost about 100 rupees, round trip, for adults. There's an option to pay more to skip the line, which is highly recommended.

An ideal location to experience the sunset and breathtaking vistas of the entire city, the Monsoon Palace was constructed under the supervision of Maharana Sajjan Singh in the 19th Century. Initially serving as a hunting lodge, it is located on top of the Bansdara hills and serves as a great picnic spot.

Jaisamand Lake

Recognised as the second-largest artificial freshwater lake in Asia , Jaisamand Lake was an undiscovered gem in Udaipur, known to only a handful of travellers. Lately, it has emerged as one of the most popular tourist attractions in Udaipur, celebrated for its serene views, especially the lush green island at its centre.

Situated approximately 22 km from Udaipur, the town of Nagda is known for the Sahastrabahu temple, also called the Sas-Bahu temple, dating back to the 9th and 10th centuries A.D. Included in the Archaeological Survey of India’s list of heritage monuments, this temple is known for its intricate carvings based on the Ramayana .

Culinary delights and restaurants

One of the best ways to savour your visit to Udaipur is by spending a beautiful evening at one of the numerous lakeside restaurants. Offering gorgeous vistas of the brightly lit Lake Pichola, Ambrai Restaurant is a favourite among travellers. For food connoisseurs, 1559 AD is a top choice. Additionally, Raaj Bagh, a garden restaurant, promises to transport you into an era of elaborate outdoor dining.

Savouring the quintessential dal baati choorma and dal pakwan is a must. For non-vegetarians, a bowl of hot lal maas is unparalleled, known for its smooth and aromatic tomato-based gravy with a hint of Mathania chillies, served alongside millet roti straight from the chulha (earthen stove).

Udaipur market scenes: Shop till you drop

Most cities in Rajasthan are a shopper’s paradise, and Udaipur is no exception. With markets like Bapu Bazaar, Bada Bazaar, Hathipole and City Palace Street bustling with shops selling bandhani dupattas , silver and oxidised jewellery, crockery, hand-painted artefacts, leather diaries, and much more, there’s no dearth of gift ideas for your loved ones. You can also find Rajasthani quilts and bedcovers here. Other places to explore for shopping include Shilpgram and Chetak Circle.

Traveller’s day out: Head to Chittorgarh

If you don’t mind delving into melancholic tales of love, separation and bravery, accompanied by a dose of history, look no further than Chittorgarh, approximately 110 km from Udaipur.

The poignant saga of Queen Padmini’s Jauhar (self-immolation) for her husband King Rawal Ratan Singh during the attack by Alauddin Khilji echoes in the rustic ruins of the once-majestic palace premises. The grandeur of Chittorgarh Fort can still be experienced here.
