This palace was started by the Maharana Amar Singh in the year of 1551 and was later carried on by Maharana Karan Singh and completed by Maharana Jagat Singh. Hence it is called Jagat Mandir or Jag Mandir.

Serving as a summer resort and pleasure area for the royal family of Mewar, this place is also famous for holding parties and wedding functions. In here you will find Gul Mahal, Darikhana, Garden Courtyard, Bara Patharon ka Mahal, Zenana Mahal, and Kunwar Pada ka Mahal.   

Jag Mandir is the main palace and it includes the Gul Mahal. The towers at the corner are octagonal in shape and have cupolas on the top. Residential suites, reception halls and internal courts adorn the palace and one of the best Udaipur tourist places.

The architecture of the building reflects Mughal and Rajput style. The Zenana Mahal is constructed adjoining to the main temple and the Kunwar Pada ka Mahal is located at the western end of the structure. The Gul Mahal was built by Maharana Amar Singh and it was developed by Maharana Jagat Singh for housing the Mughal prince Khurram. The palace has been built with sandstone, black marble, and has a crescent of Islam fixed on the dome of the structure.

Sharp images of the sun can be acquired easily on an island because the air turbulence is lesser on an island than on the normal ground. The other advantage is that this observatory is located in Rajasthan that receives maximum exposure to sun.

This instrument will be helpful in determining the magnetic field of the active regions.

This place also served as a refuge to baby king Udai of Mewar and is the birthplace of the King Maharana Pratap. The walls of the fort are very thick and stretch across 36 km.

Udaipur Itinerary: how to spend 3 days in Udaipur

This post is a travelguide with a 3 day Udaipur itinerary. Udaipur, also known as the “City of Lakes” and the “Venice of the East”, is a popular tourist destination in Rajasthan known for its stunning architecture, beautiful lakes, rich history, vibrant culture, and picturesque landscapes

Udaipur is one of my favourite cities in Rajasthan . Both times I visited, it was a welcome respite from the overwhelming experiences elsewhere in India. The city is less hectic and the relaxed atmosphere enticed me to stay much longer than the 3 day Udaipur itinerary that I initially planned. 

Udaipur is not a big city, but there are plenty of things to do. I would say that 3 days in Udaipur will allow you to see the most important highlights. After that the charm of Udaipur lies in meeting its friendly people, relaxing in one of the organic restaurants or wandering along the ghats.

You can also explore the scenic Aravalli hills with its rural villages like Delwara . If you are interested in charities you can volunteer at the animal aid rescue center or Seva Mandir .

3 day Udaipur itinerary

Udaipur itinerary day 1, the ghats of udaipur.

Start the first day of your Udaipur itinerary at the ghats. Ghats play an important role in India. They refer to places where steps are leading down to a river or a lake. It is where people come to pray, bath or celebrate important Hindu festivals . Most famous are the ghats in Varanasi , but Udaipur has it’s own ghats at the beautiful Pichola lake.

Gangaur Ghat is one of the most scenic ghats in Udaipur. During the day it is always busy with people bathing, washing, praying and performing ceremonies. Early morning is maybe the best time to visit this place in Udaipur. Everything is still peaceful and quiet and you can see the sun rise over the lake.

Another ghat with a beautiful view on the lake is Hanuman ghat on the other side of the lake. From here you can also see the city palace and get a sense of how big this complex really is. While Gangaur ghat is perfect to see the sunrise, Hanuman ghat is the best place in Udaipur to see the sun set. There are several restaurants where you can sit down to see this magical moment.

Lake Pichola

The ghats of Udaipur lead to Lake Pichola. The lake was man made in 1362 to meet drinking water and irrigation needs of the then small Pichola village.

There are two islands in the lake. The Jag Mandir island with the Garden Lake Palace and the Jag Niwas island with the expensive Taj Lake Palace hotel .

Both sun rise and sun set are the best times to enjoy Lake Pichola. It is very popular to take a boat ride to see the beautiful view on the city palace and the ghats of Udaipur or to visit the Garden Lake Palace.

City Palace 

After Gangaur ghat and Pichola Lake head to the Udaipur city palace. It is one of the largest palaces in Rajasthan. The palace was built over a period of 400 years and is actually more a complex with several interlinked buildings each with their own gateways, courtyards and gardens.

The city palace flourished when Udaipur was the capital of the Mewar kingdom. The Mewar kings have lost their royal privileges when India became independent in 1947, but the family still owns the palace. Furthermore, they still see it as their duty to work in favour of the development of Udaipur.

A large part of the palace complex is now a museum while the Shiv Niwas  palace and the Fateh Prakash palace have become a heritage hotel. The Mewar Maharana’s created the Mewar trust to use part of the profit they earn for charitable hospitals, educational institutes and environmental preservation.

The Garden Lake Palace

The garden lake palace on the Jag Mandir island is another former Mewar palace that is certainly worth a visit for its marble elephant statues and its beautiful gardens. Boats that will bring you to the island leave from the City palace.

Jagdish temple

After the city palace it is time to explore Udaipurs bazaar and temples. The Jagdish temple behind the city palace is one of the largest and oldest Hindu temples in Udaipur. The construction was finished in 1651 and has an idol of the deity Jagannath, a form of Vishnu.

The temple is one of the best places to visit in Udaipur to see Hindu religious ceremonies. The temple is always busy with devotees that come to pray. As a foreigner you are welcome to witness the singing and chanting. It is also very worthwile to look at the details in the beautiful carvings on the sides of the temple.

Udaipur’s bazaar 

Around the Gangaur ghat you will find a lot of tourist shops selling the famous miniature paintings and other souvenirs. Don’t be fooled this is the bazaar, to see the real Udaipur you must explore the backstreets behind the Jagdish temple.

The further you venture into Udaipur the more local the experience will get. You will find lots of handicrafts, hidden temples, shrines, mosques and excellent street food.

Udaipur’s Jain temples

In Udaipurs bazaar you will find several small Jain temples that have beautiful mirror and glass decorations. THey are a bit difficult to find, but certainly worth looking out for.

Bagore ki Haveli

End the first day of your Udaipur itinerary at Bagore ki Haveli. This mansion was built in the eighteenth century. After major renovations it is now a museum about the Mewar dynasty. There is also a daily cultural show at night.

I am not a big fan of cultural shows and rarely visit them, but I did really enjoy the Darohar cultural show. Set in one of the oldest haveli’s in Udaipur the location can not be better. Furthermore, it is fun to watch and will certainly make you laugh.

Udaipur itinerary day 2

Start the second day of your Udaipur itinerary in Delwara. One of the highlights of my time in Udaipur was Seva Mandir’s Delwara heritage walk . Seva Mandir is an excellent community based NGO working to improve the lives in the villages around Udaipur.

Delwara is a former royal principality 40 minutes from Udaipur where Seva Mandir worked hard on improving the water situation and garbage collection system. It is an incredible scenic and photogenic village with beautiful Jain temples. The history of the town and Jain temples make it a very worthwile visit.

It is an easy half day trip from Udaipur allowing you to take in some more sights around Udaipur in the afternoon.

Eklingji temple

22 kilometer north of Udaipur and south of Delwara you will find the beautiful Eklingji temple with a 50 feet high statue of Shiva made out of black marble. It’s a very important Shiva temple for Hindu devotees. Definetly worth a stop when you travel from Delwara to Udaipur.

Ahar cenotaphs

On the way back from Delwara to Udaipur you can also make a stop at the Ahar cenotaphs. Like the cenotaphs in Jaipur they receive not many tourists, despite its beauty. There are over 250 cenotaphs for the Mewar maharaja’s built over a period of 350 years.

Fateh Sagar lake

Udaipur is surrounded by several lakes and it would be impossible to visit them all in your Udaipur itinerary, even if you have 3 days in Udaipur.

Fateh Sagar Lake is one of the most beautiful lakes in Udaipur. It is home to three islands that can be visited by boat. One is having a Solar Observatory and the other one the popular Nehru park . At the banks of the lake you will also find the beautiful Mewar gardens of Saheliyon ki Bari. 

The Monsoon Palace

End the second day of your Udaipur itinerary at the monsoon palace for the best place to watch the sunset. The monsoon palace was once owned by the Mewar royal family, but lost most of its glory. What makes this place worth visiting is the location.

It is high up in the Aravalli hills. At 944 meters above Pichola lake the palace offers panoramic views on the city of Udaipur, the lakes and the surrounding countryside. This is probably the most romantic place to visit in Udaipur.

Udaipur itinerary day 3

Animal aid unlimited rescue center.

Start the third day of your Udaipur itinerary with a visit to the Animal Rescue center in Badi . You can either come for a short visit or spent one or more days volunteering to help take care of the animals. They have a special section for long-term residents like dogs that are paralyzed, but their aim is to release the animals back to where they came from once recovered.

I was very impressed by this project and the dedication of the people that work here. A must visit for any animal lover. Either take a tuk tuk taxi or take the local bus to Badi.

Badi is also home to one of the most quiet and pristine lakes near Udaipur. Far away from the crowds, but still easy to visit with public transport you will find little known Badi lake.

More than 3 days in Udaipur

The jain temples in ranakpur.

3 hours from Udaipur you can find one of the most important Jain temples in India. If you are coming from Jodhpur they are on your way. I took an early morning bus from Jodhpur and hopped off at Ranakpur. The temple is a huge complex of white marble full with detailed carvings of deities.

After visiting the temple I had a cup of chai near the road and quickly got on a bus towards Udaipur. The temples are worth a quick stop if you are travelling from Jodhpur to Udaipur or the other way around.

However, unless you are a big fan of temples or have a specific interest in Jainism I wouldnt make my way out there just for the temple. There are some small Jain temples in Udaipur and Delwara as well.

Udaipur itinerary travel tips

The best places to eat in udaipur, 1. al rehmaniya restaurant.

Udaipur is a vegan’s paradise. If you are not vegetarian and do love your meat once in a while, try the delicious curries at the Al Rehmaniya restaurant. They have two branches, one close to the mosque and one at Pichola lake with a nice terrace overlooking the lake.

2. Millets of Mewar

Udaipur had the best selection of organic restaurants I have seen in India, with menu’s offering something else than the standard Indian food. Millets of Mewar was my favourite because of its creative delicious salads and different curries. All vegetarian and organic for reasonable prices.

The best places to sleep in Udaipur

1. udai haveli.

Based on the reviews I had expected a bit more of Udai Haveli . When we arrived we were first shown a small room right next to the family’s noisy common area. We said we were not too happy about this and we were then shown a room on the fourth floor which was really nice.

It seems to be a labyrinth of several added floors and the quality of the rooms varies a lot. In between live the owners and their families who seem a bit indifferent towards the guests. They leave the running of the hotel to a very young and friendly guy.

2. Zostel Hostel

Zostel Hostel has become a reliable chain in India that stands for clean hostels with excellent facilities and friendly staff. Can’t really go wrong staying in a zostel and they have one in Udaipur too.

Other recommendations are

Budget : Musafir hostel

Midrange : Shemesh homestay

Midrange extra : Little Garden guesthouse

How to get around Udaipur

Uber and ola.

Uber is a good way to get around in Udaipur, but India has its own similar business called Ola cabs that is even more popular. The good thing about both Ola and Uber is that it is cheaper than a tuk tuk and you do not need to negotiate the price or explain where you need to go. Both offer a pool option in which you share your ride with others that makes it even more affordable.

Ola also has a tuk tuk option that is one of the best and most affordable way to travel for shorter distances. I never had to wait long for a Ola or Uber to come and most of the time when I ordered the pool option I had no other passengers.

There is of course always the option of stopping a tuk tuk on the road, but be prepared to negotiate about the price.

The best time to visit Udaipur

The best time to visit Udaipur is between October and March. In October temperatures cool down and you might have a chance to join the festivities for Dussehra and Diwali. India’s biggest festivals.

Temperatures remain pleasant till March. In April and May, Rajasthan in general, will be extremely hot. In June it is the start of the monsoon that lasts till September and will see a lot of rainfall.

Sustainable Travel in Udaipur

Udaipur is a very relaxed city compared to other Indian cities in Rajasthan. Tourism is growing though and has both positive and negative impacts. Traveling sustainably in Udaipur, involves conscious choices that minimize your environmental impact and support the local community.

Support the local community:  You can support the community by purchasing goods and services from local vendors, artisans, markets and restaurants. It is better to try Northern Indian cuisine that uses local ingredients rather than imported foreign foods. Northern Indian food is very vegetarian friendly and it is easy to follow a vegan diet.

Stay in small scale sustainable hotels : It is also better to stay in locally-owned guesthouses or homestays to support the local economy directly. These accommodations often have a more positive impact on the environment compared to large hotels.

Where possible, I can recommend staying in a homestay for an authentic cultural experience. You might want to bring a small book with pictures of your family to break the ice.

You can also try to look for guesthouses or homestays that prioritizes sustainable practices. That said, environmental awareness is still low. It’s up to you to use water sparsely, turn off lights, air conditioning, and heating when leaving your accommodation.

Use public transport : Udaipur has a well-developed public transportation system. Opt for public transport, whenever possible, instead of private cars to reduce carbon emissions.

Respect the culture : Besides environmental concerns it is also important to respect the culture. Udaipur has a Hindu majority. Therefore, learn about the local customs and traditions beforehand and be mindful of your behavior.

People will appreciate it, if you dress modestly, especially at religious sites. Learning a few basic phrases in Hindi, can go a long way in building meaningful connections and to learn more about the local culture. Not everybody is happy to have their picture taken. When in doubt, ask permission.

Love how you go off the beaten path and find these gems! Enjoyed reading the post, and your pics are great! I would probably spend few hours on the terrace of that Monsoon Palace. 😀 Thanks!

I really don’t know this part of the well, other than Goa and that was a beach holiday not a cultural experience. So I think I need to follow in your footsteps and do something about it. Thank you. Kx

Udaipur is definitely not something which is on the tourist radar like Jaipur, and I am glad you made time to explore the city. It is indeed tranquil (well by Indian standards and offers a more laid-back experience. Really love all the candid photos!

Extra 2 days in Udaipur: Stay in Udaipur for 5 days!

Who likes to travel with luggage?! Not me. 😉

Spend an extra 2 days in Udaipur, and you can make it a day trip to to 2 important forts in Rajasthan:

• Chittorgarh Fort
• Kumbhalgarh Fort

These are both forts with UNESCO world heritage status.

And it’s reasonable to make these day trips from Udaipur.

Then, when you can return, you can relax at your lakeside accommodation or a lakeside restaurant!

Day trip from Udaipur to Chittorgarh Fort

For Chittogarh Fort, I went from Udaipur to Chittorgarh by bus, and then from Chittorgarh to Udaipur by train.

See more about how to make it a day trip from Udaipur to Chittorgarh  by public transportation.

Day trip from Udaipur to Kumbhalgarh Fort

For Kumbhalgarh Fort, I went by private car.

It’s really not the easiest place to get to by public transportation, although I do imagine that it’s possible to at least get you somewhat close! Because… this is India!

It might require trying to find a rickshaw at some point though, because it seems like the main road leading to Kumbhalgarh once you get close wouldn’t have buses passing through.

So a taxi might be worth considering to get to Kumbhalgarh even if you will be mostly traveling around Rajasthan by bus and train.

More for your India itinerary: 2 weeks in Rajasthan

• 3 days in Udaipur
• 2 days in Jodhpur
• Overnight camel safari in Thar Desert
• 3 days in Jaipur
• Visit to Taj Mahal

Now, here are some details about the Udaipur itinerary to see if it’s something you want to follow!

Day 1 in udaipur.

• Eat at a rooftop restaurant
• Visit Jagdish Temple
• Visit Bagore-ki-Haveli heritage museum
• Visit Gangaur Ghat at Lake Pichola

Rooftop restaurant in Udaipur

Start your time in Udaipur by heading to a rooftop restaurant in the main part of the city.

This can take you through some streets with shops to get you thinking about what you want to buy in the coming days!

You can find a rooftop restaurant right across the street from Jagdish Temple at Mayur Cafe within the Hotel Baba Palace.

Visit to Jagdish Temple

Well, after having the great view of the temple, it only makes sense to go and see it!

So after you’re done eating eating, you can head across the street to visit the Jagdish Temple.

This was the entry way of the temple, and you can now see the opposite view with the restaurant.

This can be a quick visit.

And really, since it’s located in the main part of the city, you can do this at any time. It’s almost guaranteed that you will pass this temple naturally throughout your stay in Udaipur.

So you don’t necessarily need to carve out time for it.

Visit to Bagore-ki-Haveli museum

Cost: 100 rupees for foreigners (us$2).

If you’re traveling around Rajasthan, you’ll soon come to know about havelis.

Visiting a haveli is a way to experience a part of the grand Rajasthan royalty. ( Visiting the forts and palaces of Jaipur is another great way!)

You can see a different type of architecture, as well as how the royals used to live.

In the case of the Bagore-ki-Haveli, which is just near Gangaur Ghat, this is a complex that was built in the 18th century.

It has since been turned into a museum as a display of the culture that existed during this time.

Once you enter, you will be able to explore countless rooms and courtyards in the complex.

There are also a number of balconies and terraces that offer up stunning views of Lake Pichola!

Visit to Gangaur Ghat at Lake Pichola

Cost: free.

So, that ghat that you saw from the haveli museum?

You can now go for a visit directly!

There are many ghats along the lake in Udaipur, and the one near the museum is one of the many easy-to-access ghats.

The main thing to do at any ghat is to take in the sights surrounding the lake.

So you can spend little time here, or you can spend more time here!

DAY 2 IN UDAIPUR

• Walk around grounds of City Palace
• Tour City Palace

Walk around the grounds of City Palace

Cost: 30 rupees (us$0.50).

Rajasthan can be called the land of palaces, and one of these grand palaces is the City Palace of Udaipur.

The grounds of City Palace are worth a visit, even if you don’t want to properly tour the palace complex.

Tour of City Palace

Cost: 300 rupees (us$5) for foreigners and indians.

But if you do want to tour the palace, there’s a very good chance you’ll find it to be worth it!

It’s best to give yourself 1-2 hours to explore this grand palace.

You can get an audio guide here for 250 rupees (US$4) which can enhance your experience of visiting the palace.

The audio guide will go more in depth about the history and architecture of City Palace, Udaipur, and Rajasthan.

Walk to hilltop Monsoon Palace with some of the best views of Udaipur

Cost: 300 rupees (us$5) for foreigners.

Following the visit to City Palace, you can head to another palace.

This time, a hilltop palace that offers stunning views of Udaipur!

The Monsoon Palace, also known as the Sajjan Garh, is located about a 20 minute rickshaw ride from City Palace.

From the main gate, you can walk up the hill 4 km or so or you can hire a ride once at the entry gate.

The palace itself may not be considered a must-visit, but the amazing views of Udaipur on your way to the palace and at the top can make it worth it.

There is a small cafe at the top, and you can have a rest there with a cup of tea!

This is also an activity in Udaipur that you can do to get you away from the hustle and bustle of the main part of the city.

It’s possible that as you walk up the hill you’ll be able to hear the birds chirping very clearly.

You may also see monkeys along the way.

There is also a wildlife sanctuary around the monsoon palace that you can add on to your visit.

DAY 3 IN UDAIPUR

• Walk around island Palace (Jagmandir Island)

Lake Pichola boat ride from City Palace

Cost: 400 rupees (us$6) for day time boat ride or 700 rupees (us$11) for sunset boat ride.

One of the highlights of Udaipur can be the amazing views overlooking Lake Pichola, whether it’s from a ghat or a lakefront restaurant.

You can get a different experience by actually being on the lake with a boat tour!

This makes for more amazing views from a different perspective.

You can get boat tours during the day, and you can get sunset boat tours as well.

The prices increase once it becomes closer to sunset time, and this could be starting with the 3pm boat tour.

Visit to Jagmandir Island

City Palace is the best place to get a boat ride around Lake Pichola because it also offers you a trip to a palace island.

That would be the palace on Jagmandir Island.

Jagmandir Island itself may not be a must-visit, but again, the boat tour gives you amazing views.

So a side trip at the island can just add to the trip to make the boat ride even more worth it!

There are boats leaving regularly from the island, so you can just hop on a boat that’s waiting for departure once you’re ready to leave.

30 minutes will likely be enough time to walk around this palace.

Best Things to do in Udaipur in 3 days | A guide

Last Updated on January 5, 2023 by admin

Planning a visit to Udaipur? This is the best itinerary for things to do in Udaipur in 3 days that cover all the places to visit in Udaipur for first-time visitors.

Udaipur – the city of lakes is always on the list of must-visit destinations in Rajasthan. Known as the ‘Venice of the East’, Udaipur lures every kind of tourist, traveler, and backpacker. 

I have visited Udaipur over 5 times with my family, colleagues, and friends. Each visit has been amazing because of the gorgeous lakes, pleasant weather, and stunning architecture all around.

Check out this guide for things to do in Udaipur in 3 days!

Table of Contents

Things to do in Udaipur

Jagdish temple, udaipur.

Start sightseeing in Udaipur by taking blessings from Lord Vishnu at the Jagdish temple. 

Located in the center of the city, Jagdish temple is a large Hindu temple with historic importance. Earlier known as the temple of Jagannath Rai, this is one of the best places to visit in Udaipur. 

It is considered important for worship but brings architecture enthusiasts to this temple. The carvings on the exterior of the temple are stunning. Eklingji temple near Udaipur is another gem.

This three-storied temple is built on a raised platform and flaunts magnificently carved pillars, huge airy halls, and painted walls that are adorned with vibrant colours and intricately decorated ceilings which showcases Indo-Aryan architecture which is why it is one of the best architectural wonders of Rajasthan. 

The elephant carving certainly reminded me of the Mahakuta Temples of Karnataka and Modhera Sun Temple, Gujarat . 

There is no entry ticket to the temple however if you wish to worship the deity, the temple doors open in two shifts –  4:15 am to 1:00 pm and 5:15 pm to 8 pm.

Feel like a royal at the Udaipur City Palace 

The most popular spot in Udaipur – The City Palace deserves a visit. 

City Palace Udaipur is one of the largest palace complexes in Rajasthan and visitors will feel every bit of royalty in almost every nook and corner. 

Located on the banks of Pichola lake with Aravalli hills as a backdrop, its extravagant opulence is noticeable everywhere. 

The palace is built with white marble and granite and the interiors are beautifully decorated with silver work, mirror work, inlay work, glass paintings, and murals. The architecture is a fusion of European, Mughal, Chinese, and Rajasthani work! Similar work is seen in Juna Mahal palace, a property of Udai Bilas Palace Dungarpur .

Places not to be missed within the complex are Sheesh Mahal, Mor Chowk, Surya Chopar, Krishna Vilas, Dilkhush Mahal and Suraj Gokhda.

A visit to Udaipur city palace will require over 3 hours. So, visitors can choose to have food at the in-house Fatehprakash Palace and restaurant. Although expensive the views are amazing and the food is delicious. 

Udaipur City Palace timings: 7 am to 11 pm (includes entry to restaurants)

Udaipur City Palace museum timings: 9 am to 5 pm

Know the history of Mewar through the Light and Sound Show

Immerse yourself a bit more into history by staying back in the Udaipur City Palace till evening. The palace complex hosts a Light and Sound show which is worth watching. 

Watch the Mewar sound and light show ‘The Legacy of Honor, which takes place at the Manek Chowk inside the palace complex between 7 – 8 pm. It is an amazing way to know the history of Rajasthan. The entry fees of this separate.

Explore the Jag Mandir Palace Udaipur

Many travelers miss this option of things to do in Udaipur but should not. 

Build on the Jag Mandir Island in Pichola Lake, Jag Mandir is a magnificent place. The medieval architecture and luxurious and royal surroundings make it a dream place to be in, and one of the best places for sightseeing in Udaipur.

The view of City Palace while going to Jag Mandir is worth the boat fees. Wander around Jag Mandir Palace gardens and fountains or just chill till sunset at the cafe for a chilled beer overlooking Pichola lake and the city palace.

Visitors have to head down to the City Palace jetty for a boat tour to get to the Jag Mandir Palace.

Catch the sunset over Pichola lake

Visiting Pichola lake is a favorite thing to do in Udaipur for the locals and tourists. The lake contains four islands namely – Jag Mandir, Jag Niwas, Mohan Mandir and Arsi Vilas.

Taking a boat ride on the lake is extremely therapeutic during sunset. 

If you don’t prefer a boat ride, chose a hotel on the banks of Pichola and spend the evening on the lakeside balcony or the terrace to soak in Lake Pichola.

Visit Bagore ki Haveli

Situated at the Gangaur Ghat, a visit to Bagore ki Haveli is one of the best things to do in Udaipur.

Haveli means a mansion and this mansion is decorated with mirrors. It showcases paintings, murals, clothes from yesteryear as well as intricate artworks. 

Bagore ki Haveli houses huge courtyards, balconies, jharokhas, decorative archways, fountains, and exceptionally decorated 138 rooms with mirror work. The walls of the Haveli are adorned beautifully with alluring glasswork and mural paintings. 

The Chambers of the Royal Ladies is worth visiting for its renowned glass windows that are colored beautifully. It houses two peacocks made with colored glass mosaic that is exceptionally crafted.

Bagore ki Haveli also has four museums apart from the haveli which are The Puppet museum, the Turban museum, the Weapon Museum, and the Wedding Depiction Section.

Get awed at Dharohar Folk Dance Show at Bagore ki Haveli

Attending a Rajasthani cultural dance show is one of the popular things to do in Udaipur at night. At 7 pm, the Bagore ki haveli turns into a dance showcase with the cultural folk dance show called ‘Dhanohar dance’.  

Visitors can buy tickets for the Haveli entrance as well as this show together. This one-hour folk dance show will enthrall you with 4 types of traditional Rajasthani dance forms – Ghumar, Chari, Kalbelia, and Bhavai.

Feel small at Badi Lake

Head a little bit away from the city towards nature for some offbeat things to do in Udaipur. 

Shop till you drop at Shilpgram Udaipur

Once you leave Badi lake and are towards the city, make a stop at Shilpgram, a living museum of traditional Rajasthani arts and crafts. It has a plethora of things to see and do if you have the time. 

If it’s a quick visit, you can shop for souvenirs right here and learn a little bit about the state’s culture. Possible things to shop for include paintings, ceramics, wooden handicrafts, clothes, etc. 

There are live performances in the amphitheater and you can check the timings of the same at the entrance gate.

Lake hopping at Fatehsagar Lake

I would suggest driving across Fatehsagar Lake and taking in the views of blue waters and having lunch at one of the restaurants with a lake view. 

Amidst the view of beautiful Aravalli hills and forests, the Fateh Sagar Lake looks beautiful. Like the other lakes, watching a sunset here is beautiful but since we need to adhere to an itinerary, I would suggest spending time at one of the lakes only. 

This lake has a periphery and enough space to walk around it, unlike Pichola lake which is crammed with restaurants, boats, and hotels. 

One can choose to take a morning walk or post-dinner walk here while eating ice cream from local stalls, making it one of the best places to visit in Udaipur for couples.

Feel the clouds at Sajjangarh Palace or Monsoon Palace

Sajjangarh Palace Udaipur is a hilltop palatial residence, overlooking the Fateh Sagar Lake. The foundation of the Fort is laid on marble pillars that have exclusive motifs of flowers and leaves carved all over it. The palace walls are plastered with lime mortar.

There is a vast central court with a stunning staircase and several quarters and rooms. The Fort has high turrets and guards monitoring each of the towers. The domes, fountains, and jharokhas all around the palaces are exquisite marvels of Rajasthani architecture. 

The palace offers a panoramic view of the city’s lakes, palaces and surrounding countryside. It was built chiefly to watch the monsoon clouds.

Visitors can easily spend an hour climbing the top, soaking in the views of clouds across the Aravalli hills. Spend the late afternoon till evening around 5:30 pm.

Another option here is to visit The Sajjangarh Wildlife Sanctuary.

Saheliyon ki Badi

Saheliyon ki Bari translated as ‘Garden for friends’ is a sprawling garden having marble elephants, fountains, manicured rose bushes and many trees all maintained in a manicured garden. No wonder it is a popular garden in Udaipur.

The yesteryear king, Maharana Sangram Singh built this garden as a gift for his wife and the queen’s 48 accompanists who came with her as dowry. The garden was built so that the queen and her friends could relax and retreat.

Visit the Ahar Cenotaphs

Ahar Cenotaphs is an offbeat place to visit in Udaipur.

Situated a little away from the city, cenotaphs are royal tombstones. With beautiful architecture and carvings on them, they attract a few tourists to visit them. Similar cenotaphs are also located at Indore and Bhuj .

Ride the Mansapurna Karni Mata Ropeway

One of the adventure things to do in Udaipur is riding the Ropeway in Udaipur to reach the Karni Mata temple.

Tourists can ride cable cars up the hill from Deen Dayal Park at Doodh Talai to Karni Mata temple. One can enjoy Udaipur city from the viewing platform there, hence it is another good place to watch the sunset in Udaipur.

Vintage Car Museum Udaipur

One of the unique things to do in Udaipur is to visit the vintage car museum. The cars showcased here were used by the Kings of Mewar in Udaipur, back then.

This museum is a gem for car lovers to get a rare insight into the maintenance and upkeep of vintage cars. They are meticulously maintained.

The car collection, opened to the public in early 2000, is housed in what was once the royal garage. There’s even an antique petrol pump there. Highlights of this museum include a 1924 Rolls Royce, a 1938 Cadillac, 1946 Buick, 1947 Chevrolet bus used for transporting children to the Maharana’s school and the first Rolls Royce jeep.

Shopping in Udaipur

Udaipur is as much a shopping destination as it is for visiting lakes and palaces. 

Hathi Pol is one of the colorful streets for silver jewelry, paintings, souvenirs, batik, and bandhani clothing as well as camel leather goods. Bring a big shopping bag and start shopping. These are the 5 things to buy in Udaipur. You can also check this Shopping in Jaipur guide. A lot of stuff is similar in both cities. 

Where to stay in Udaipur | Accommodation in Udaipur

Hotels in Udaipur are all over the city and unless you choose the right hotel you will spend a lot of time commuting to and from the hotel. I highly recommend choosing a hotel near any one of the lakes – Fatehsagar Lake, Udaipur or Pichola Lake, Udaipur. There are many resorts on the outskirts of the city that are perfect for a relaxing Staycation in Udaipur in case you don’t want to see the city. Read my review on Seven Stays Villa, Udaipur .

But if you want to check out all the attractions in Udaipur, then it is best to choose in the city. Since I am more inclined towards Pichola lake, my recommendation is near it.

Hostel: Zostel , GoStops Hostel

Home Stay: Lal ghat guest house

Mid range hotel: Amet Haveli , Kankarwa Haveli

Luxury hotel: The Lalit Laxmi Vilas Palace , Shiv Niwas Palace

Where to eat in Udaipur

Reserve a table at Ambrai for dinner and relish delectable Rajasthani treats with a gorgeous view. Sip on chai while enjoying the breathtaking views of Pichola lake at Jheel cafe or Upre Restaurant. Here is a list of Places to Eat in Udaipur .

Best time to visit Udaipur

In spite of being a city of lakes, summer season in Udaipur is hot. It is best to visit Udaipur in winter (November to March) and even Monsoons are pleasant.

One-day trips from Udaipur

If you have covered all the things to do in Udaipur and have more time in hand then head to the many destinations around Udaipur that are perfect one-day trips. Some options are:

Haldighati is 63km away from Kumbhalgarh and is a perfect one-day trip. It can be covered while going to Udaipur or while coming to Kumbhalgarh fort from Udaipur. Haldighati (translated as a turmeric-colored pass) is a mountain pass where the Battle of Haldighati took place between the Mewar forces led by Maharana Pratap, and the Mughal forces.

Kumbhalgarh Fort

Kumbhalgarh Fort is World Heritage Site and is the second-longest wall in the world. It is a Mewar fortress on the westerly range of Aravalli Hills. Read More Here: Kumbhalgarh Fort .

Ranakpur Jain Temple

Ranakpur Jain Mandir is one of the most important Jain temples in Jainism and ranks in the list of top 5 holy shrines of Jains. Ranakpur Jain temple is the largest Jain temple in India and has exquisitely ornamented interiors with sculptures made of marble. Read more here: Ranakpur Jain Temple .

Sustainable tips for Udaipur Travel Guide

• Cars are not allowed in a major portion of the city center. So think before packing that huge airbag without wheels. You can get an auto-rickshaw (tuk-tuk) for hotel drop from many of the parking spaces available and allotted for tourist parking.
• Blend in the culture by wearing the right clothes. Skirts and pants till knee level are good. Avoid spaghetti and tank tops. Cover your shoulders with a scarf if necessary.
• Choose local food wherever possible
• Do not litter tourist places. Always use a dustbin.
• Do not harm the ancient palace and temple structures by carving or writing on it
• Do not enter places that are closed off, there’s a reason why they are closed.

Udaipur is one of my favorite destinations in Rajasthan. The best part is here walking tour is fun. Most of the attractions are close to each other.

Those elephant carvings on the Jagdish Mandir are amazing! And I would never have thought of doing a homestay here, thanks for the tip!

It’s definitely an amazing place and I can see why you keep visiting. Love the photo of the lady with the baskets. Amazing

Could not agree more with your sustainable tip about “eating local”…it is definitively one of the best ways to explore the local culture. The City Palace is quite impressive. I look forward to visiting India soon!!

I have been to Udaipur during my school days and I remember all these places. Udaipur has great architectures with rich cultural heritage. I would love to see folk dances in that authentic Rajasthani styled Haveli. Thanks for sharing detailed post.

Wow those carvings are just insane! I love the beautiful details, really impressive. I really want to visit this part of the world soon, thanks for sharing 🙂

How intriguing is Udaipur. Your pictures and stories are full of interesting details!

That Dhanohar dance is amazing, that is incredible balance that woman has! I think the place I would want to see most on your list is the Garden (as it’s translated). I absolutely love fountains! Also, nice tip on no cars in the city center-good to know for planning!

I have yet to visit India, but when I do, I would put Udaipur on the list for sure. Your itinerary shows that there is a lot to see. I would love to spend some time at the City Palace. I can see how it is a relaxing place.

What a cool visit! The architecture (and your photos) are stunning. What? A vintage car museum! I would definitely be going there.

Beautiful palaces, a lot of history and stunning nature! I think we would love to spend some time at Badi Lake and explore the area, do some hikes and just enjoy the scenery.

I haven’t been to India but saving this list for sure! It looks like the perfect three day itinerary for the area. The Jagdish Temple is so detailed and beautiful.

Udaipur is indeed the jewel in the crown of Rajasthan. The city is unique and offers so much to experience for travelers. Love the fact that Udaipur has something different from the other cities of Rajasthan like Jaipur and Jodhpur. This is a wonderful itinerary that allows one to really experience the royalty and heritage of Udaipur.

Love this post! You give such great detail about a fascinating place I’ve never heard of. I can see why it would be a great weekend getaway: I think I would most enjoy sitting by or walking along the lake shore, that seems like the most peaceful and relaxing thing to do there. Thank you for sharing!

Hey, I am so glad to read your thoughts because I really enjoyed reading this. The way you explain your travel experience is truly awesome. I must say the list is a great one. If you are visiting Udaipur keep this as the checklist to visit places and i bet you love them all. Keep travelling. Good share. The palaces are magnificent. Not only is there such beauty, there is the history that adds to their attractiveness. The landscape seems magical and what a great place to visit. good information about Udaipur. Thanks for providing valuable info on Udaipur.

I accidentally came across this blog and I am glad I did! Saving this itinerary for my next trip to Udaipur.

I absolutely love Udaipur, it is so magical! I stayed in Zostel when I was there, it had just recently opened and highly recommend it! The views from the rooftop are incredible!

Couldn’t agree more Demi. The views from most hotels on Pichola lake are breathtaking. I could spend an entire day on its banks!

Sounds great, I’d love to try the ropeway!

Udaipur looks so beautiful! India is so high on my bucket list, so I’ll be saving this post for later when I begin real planning. Thank you!!

I hope you make it to India super soon <3

When I did touring in Rajasthan I somehow skipped Udaipur and spent more time in Jaipur. Your pics are enticing and makes me want to go and visit those lake palaces and streets. Love the travel tips you have provided at the end!

Funny story but when I first went to Udaipur, I was not impressed, maybe because I overloaded with forts, palaces and opulence all over Rajasthan and Udaipur was my last place. But every visit after that has been special and an eye-opener, making me fall in love again and again. You must visit Rajasthan to visit Udaipur 🙂

Wonderful post – I regret not visiting Udaipur when I was traveling around Rajasthan a few years back. Will have to make another trip to go and see it for sure, it looks amazing.

Yes Anna, it is beautiful and you should visit in your next trip 🙂

Located in Rajasthan and known as the Venice of the East, Udaipur has been working its way into travelers’ hearts for years.

Udaipur is the perfect city for nature lovers, history enthusiasts, and those looking for an oasis of tranquility.

From breathtaking lakes and natural beauty to luxurious palaces and extraordinary architecture, walking the streets of Udaipur is like being transported to another time in history entirely.

The city is anything but short of amazing things to do, so if you don’t benefit from loads of time, how do you squeeze in everything you want to do?

Maybe you’re worried 3 days isn’t enough to explore the best things to do in Udaipur?

Or perhaps you’re wondering how to plan a Udaipur trip that includes the main highlights, but some more authentic hidden gems too?

From the main Udaipur tourist spots and delicious restaurants to some more off-the-beaten-path spots and cultural experiences. If you’re wondering what to do in Udaipur for 3 days, then look no further.

This post details the best 2-night , 3-day Udaipur itinerary, updated for 2024.

DAY 1 Udaipur Itinerary – Arrival + Main Tourist Spots

The first day on your Udaipur itinerary for 3 days is all about getting your bearings and exploring some of the main Udaipur tourist spots.

Depending on what time you arrive, it is great to take the morning a little slower and get a feel for the place. Once you are settled, you can start to explore some of the best things to do in Udaipur.

• Breakfast at Jheel’s Ginger Coffee House & Bakery
• Explore City Palace

The best start to any day is enjoying a coffee with a view and preparing for the action-packed day ahead. One of the best lake-view cafes in Udaipur is Jheel’s Ginger Coffee House & Bakery.

Full Post: Top 7 BEST Cafes in Udaipur

Here you can enjoy panoramic views of Lake Pichola and one of the best coffees in Udaipur. This Udaipur cafe is a great first stop on your Udaipur itinerary to admire the beauty of the lake and start your day right.

After breakfast, I would head to the City Palace and spend the late morning enjoying one of the most iconic landmarks and places to visit in Udaipur.

A trip to Udaipur would be incomplete without admiring the architecture and grandeur of the City Palace.

A symbol of Rajput hegemony in the region, this Udaipur tourist spot offers a fascinating glimpse into Rajasthani history.

I would allow 2 -3 hours to explore the City Palace.

• Lunch at Shahpura Oladar Cafe
• Lake Pichola Boat Trip / Admire Lake Pichola from Gangaur Ghat
• Karni Mata Ropeway & Temple for sunset

After exploring Udaipur’s City Palace, I would head to Shahpura Oladar Cafe for lunch afterward, just a 5-minute walk away.

With a vintage vibe and Indo-European-style architecture, this is one of the most unique and photogenic cafes in Udaipur and a great lunch spot.

Roughly 3 pm by this point, I would spend the late afternoon admiring the beauty of Lake Pichola .

If you are interested in a boat trip on the lake, then please see the pickup location above. It is not far from the entrance to the Karni Mata Ropeway.

If it is more convenient, you can book a guided City Palace tour and Lake Pichola boat trip together here .

We didn’t opt for a boat trip but spent some time admiring Lake Pichola from Gangaur Ghat and the boat pickup location instead.

Just five minutes away, the Karni Mata Ropeway & Temple is next on your Udaipur itinerary. This is one of the best sunset points in Udaipur.

The Karni Mata Ropeway offers a panoramic bird’s-eye view of the Old City and its interweaving lakes.

Appreciating the architectural magnificence of the city and its iconic tourist spots from above is one of the best things to do in Udaipur.

Full Post: The COMPLETE Guide To The Karni Mata Ropeway Udaipur

As well as admiring the breathtaking sunset, the Karni Mata Temple is a significant historical and spiritual site for the locals. It is a humble but fascinating temple to visit in Udaipur.

• Dinner at Ambrai Restaurant

For a perfect end to your first day exploring the magnificent City of Lakes, I would recommend Ambrai Restaurant for dinner.

Full Post: The Top 10 BEST Restaurants in Udaipur

Nestled on the banks of Lake Pichola, Ambrai offers unobstructed views of the City Palace and Jagdish Temple. This is one of the best lakeside restaurants in Udaipur.

Enjoy a taste of luxury for the evening with an elegant atmosphere and delicious food.

Whilst this is one of the pricier restaurants in Udaipur, dining here is an experience in itself and perfect for your first night.

DAY 2 Udaipur Itinerary – Hidden Gems + Cultural Experiences

For your second day on your Udaipur itinerary for 3 days, we are going to explore some more off-the-beaten-track Udaipur tourist spots.

Your second day in Udaipur is all about delving into the culture, nature, and history of the region further. It is great to learn more about Udaipur and the daily life of the locals more authentically, through visiting some more hidden gems.

• Ambrai Ghat for sunrise (optional)
• Breakfast at Jaiwana Haveli Rooftop
• Explore Jagdish Temple

If you’re an early riser, then I would recommend visiting the Ambrai Ghat for sunrise in Udaipur.

This is one of the most significant ghats in the city. The old steps down to Lake Pichola with the extraordinary backdrop of the Old City and surrounding Aravalli Hills make this one of the most picturesque things to do in Udaipur.

However, this is much more than a typical Udaipur tourist spot. Visiting Ambrai Ghat at dawn offers an authentic glimpse into the cultural traditions and daily life of the locals.

Ambrai Ghat is buzzing with life as the sun rises. Lake Pichola transforms into a focal point unifying the locals in their morning routine of bathing and washing laundry.

Ambrai Ghat is a fascinating place to visit in Udaipur. It shows the endurance of age-old traditions in the face of modernity and the spiritual significance of Lake Pichola.

Next on your Udaipur itinerary, head over to Jaiwana Haveli for breakfast.

This is one of the best rooftop restaurants in Udaipur and offers sweeping views of Lake Pichola whilst you sip your morning coffee.

Their breakfast is delicious, with a choice of Continental or Indian. All topped off with a mesmerising view and tranquil atmosphere – you can’t beat it!

For the late morning, we’re heading right to the heart of Udaipur and the Jagdish Temple .

Over 400 years old, this is the largest and oldest Hindu temple in Udaipur.

The Jagdish Temple is an architectural masterpiece, dominating the City’s skyline three stories high. With two elephant sculptures and marble steps at its entrance, it truly is a sight to behold.

The temple boasts intricately carved sculptures and beautifully decorated ceilings. With vibrant colours and breathtaking attention to detail, it is a must-visit on any Udaipur itinerary.

• Lunch at Millets of Mewar
• Visit Bahubali Hills & Badi Lake for sunset

For lunch, you have to give Millets of Mewar a try.

Located in the city center, this is one of the best pure veg restaurants in Udaipur and has been voted one of the healthiest in India! This restaurant is as nutritious as it is delicious.

Millets of Mewar specialises in traditional Indian food with a unique twist. This innovative restaurant offers millet-based fusion dishes, as well as organic, gluten-free, and vegan options.

Opt for rooftop seating and enjoy views of the Jagdish Temple from a different perspective whilst you tuck into some of the most energising, delicious, and creative food from Rajasthan.

After lunch, it’s time to head to Bahubali Hills & Badi Lake .

Located just 30 minutes from the city center, Badi Lake is one of the best day trips from Udaipur.

Badi Lake is a real oasis of tranquility and attracts fewer tourists than the other popular lakes in Udaipur.

There is a short hike up the Bahubali Hills to the viewpoint, which offers panoramic views of Badi Lake from above.

Full Post: Bahubali Hills Udaipur: The ULTIMATE Guide To Badi Lake

The views of the lake are simply breathtaking and some of the most beautiful we have seen in India.

This is therefore a must-visit hidden gem in Udaipur for nature lovers looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the city center.

This is also one of the best sunset points in Udaipur and is great for those in need of secluded natural beauty and a slowdown of pace. It was the highlight of our Udaipur itinerary.

I would recommend 3 – 4 hours to reach and explore Bahubali Hills & Badi Lake.

• Bangore Ki Haveli Dance Show
• Dinner and authentic Rajasthani cuisine at Krishna Dal Bati Restro

Once you’re back in the city center, you cannot miss the Dharohar Dance Show at Bangore Ki Haveli every day at 7 pm.

Bangore Ki Haveli is a fascinating museum in its own right, showcasing Rajasthani art, culture, and history.

However, the real attraction is the Dharohar Dance Show, which takes place in a beautifully lit courtyard.

The show lasts about an hour and consists of traditional Rajasthani folk dance and music. The show is vibrant and colourful, with traditional Rajasthani costumes and instruments.

The talent and artistry of the dancers is extraordinary. This is a perfect way to learn a little more about the cultural traditions of the region from a different perspective.

To guarantee the best price, you can book your tickets online in advance here .

For dinner, I would recommend Krishna Dal Bati Restro for some of the best Rajasthani food in Udaipur.

If you’re interested in authentic food, then this restaurant perfectly captures the spirit and diverse flavours of Rajasthan.

Krishna Dal Bati Resto specialises in Dal Bati Churma, the food synonymous with Rajasthani culture and the region’s signature dish. Here, you can enjoy an unlimited Dal Bati Thali for just 350 rupees!

If you want to truly indulge in the flavours of Rajasthan, your Udaipur itinerary would be incomplete without a visit to this restaurant.

DAY 3 Udaipur Itinerary – Departure

For the final day of your Udaipur itinerary for 3 days, you may want to limit the places you visit and stick close to the city center. This all depends on your departure time.

We’ve got one more Udaipur tourist spot to visit in the morning, before a more chilled afternoon browsing the markets and souvenir shopping.

• Visit Saheliyon Ki Bari
• Breakfast at Fateh Sagar Lake – Sai Sagar Coffee House

For your final morning in the City of Lakes, you cannot miss a trip to Saheliyon Ki Bari . This is one of the best places to visit in Udaipur.

Saheliyon Ki Bari is a garden oasis and botanical wonder nestled on the banks of Fateh Sagar Lake.

It is a paradise for nature lovers and photography enthusiasts. It is characterised by lush greenery, perfectly manicured flower beds, marble fountains, and blooming lotus pools.

Full Post: Saheliyon Ki Bari: EVERYTHING You Need To Know

Whilst this garden can be enjoyed purely aesthetically, the garden is also a unique heritage site. It was built as a recreational retreat by Rana Sangram Singh of the Mewar dynasty for his Queen and her 48 maidens.

The deep historical significance behind each architectural feature gives a cultural richness to the experience.

After enjoying the gardens, take a short walk down to Fateh Sagar Lake to grab some breakfast – it is about a 15-minute walk.

Note: If cannot function without breakfast first thing in the morning, you can always swap these steps and head to Saheliyon Ki Bari after .

On the banks of Fateh Sagar Lake, you will find Sai Sagar Coffee House and some of the most delicious authentic coffee the City of Lakes has to offer.

Full Post: The Top 7 BEST Cafes in Udaipur

Here you will find a relaxed vibe with seating overlooking the lake.

Grabbing a bite to eat here and taking a leisurely stroll around Fateh Sagar Lake is a perfect way to spend the late morning on the final day of your Udaipur itinerary.

• Browse markets + souvenir shopping
• Authentic Rajasthani Art / Cooking Class
• Lunch at Cafe Delight

Being your last day in Udaipur, it’s time to browse the markets and do some souvenir shopping.

The main markets are concentrated in the heart of the city, near the Jagdish Temple. However, be sure to venture further afield away from the tourist hub too.

I would suggest crossing the little bridge and exploring the markets on the eastern side of Lake Pichola.

From beautiful textiles and intricate paintings to leather journals and silver jewelry, you cannot beat shopping in Udaipur!

If you’re not pressed for time on your last day in Udaipur, then you could take an authentic Rajasthani Art or Cooking Class before leaving.

Udaipur is famed as the artistic and cultural center of Rajasthan, known for its traditional arts and crafts.

Many artisans from Udaipur are eager to share their knowledge and age-old artistic traditions, passed down and perfected through the generations.

I would recommend visiting Lala, he is an exceptional artist who offers art classes. You can find him at the location above.

Without a single artistic bone in our bodies, we opted for a cooking class instead. You can book this in advance here .

Before departure, it’s time to grab some lunch! I would recommend Cafe Delight if you haven’t tried it already.

Cafe Delight is a little tucked away and has a laid-back vibe. It offers a mixture of traditional Indian food and Western favourites at a super affordable price.

This was our favourite restaurant in Udaipur and a relaxed end to your amazing stay in the City of Lakes.

Where to stay in Udaipur?

When visiting the extraordinary City of Lakes, you cannot miss a chance to stay in Shalom Backpackers .

With luxurious 5-star rooms but the social vibe of a hostel, this Udaipur accommodation offers the best of both worlds.

Modern amenities with a traditional aesthetic make this the perfect place to stay in Udaipur for solo travellers, couples, or groups.

Located in the heart of the city by Gangaur Ghat with views of Lake Pichola, the location could not be better.

Shalom Backpackers offers a stunning terrace, shared lounge, restaurant, and even a swimming pool!

Are 3 days enough for Udaipur?

If you’re wondering how many days are needed for Udaipur, then 3 days would be enough to visit all of the main Udaipur tourist spots. You will also have time from a short day trip from Udaipur.

The main places to visit in Udaipur are quite close together which makes things easier.

However, with so many fascinating and unique things to do in Udaipur, you would need a lifetime to explore them all.

If you benefit from time, then I would recommend at least a week. This would allow you to explore the main Udaipur tourist spots, as well as have time to take things slow, browse the markets, and get lost in the winding streets.

Which month is good for Udaipur trip?

The best time to visit Udaipur coincides with the best time to visit India in general. This would be between September – March.

After March, the weather starts to get significantly hotter and can feel a little suffocating at times. When visiting India, it is also best to avoid the monsoon season which is June – August.

We visited in January and had beautiful weather with sunshine during the day and cool evenings. January and February are the months I would recommend.

Well, there you have it! This post has detailed the very best 2 nights, 3 days Udaipur itinerary for an unforgettable time in the magnificent City of Lakes.

My Udaipur Travel Guide: 18 Wanderlust things to do in Udaipur for a 3 day itinerary

Last Updated on March 16, 2024 by Christine Kaaloa

In this Udaipur travel guide, I’ll take you through 14 best things to do in Udaipur Old city for first time solo travelers to Udaipur.

Travel friends would always say they loved Udaipur, The Venice of India .  I thought it was just hype. Until I traveled there…

it’s taken me a while to get myself to Udaipur. Now that I look back on why I’ve held out for so long, I realize that I just didn’t want to acknowledge that hype about a city can be real.

Udaipur, romantically known as the “City of Lakes” is located in Rajasthan. It is known for its historical significance and Rajput royalty, ornate palaces and architectural beauty. Driving into Udaipur from Jawai Bandh, the city is surrounded by the Aravalli Range, a series of beautiful lush and vibrantly green rolling hills. That was my first welcome to Udaipur and it set a different tone from other more arid Rajasthani cities I’ve been . Instantly, I was relaxed and calm. The city is also situated around several lakes, it has a rich heritage and unlike cities like Delhi , Mumbai or Goa , it’s one of those cities that has preserved its heritage and traditional practices.

Check out my Rajasthan trip 8-day itinerary

I never leave home without travel insurance that covers  travel theft and adventure activities that basic plans don’t. Here’s a  trip insurance finder tool   to find a plan that matches your budget.

Udaipur Old City: An Authentic, Laidback Vibe

I was visiting Udaipur to scout it as one of the cities for my group tour . Udaipur is… as my friend and local operator Komal of Women for World put it … “charming”.

When you get there, it’s easy to understand why. It’s not only the palace, the ornate architecture, but the locals too. The locals will win your heart over.

As a popular region in India, Rajasthan has its share of touts at every attraction. Touts are one thing about India that can jade travelers. Arriving in Udaipur Old City, I had my armor on when folks approached me in the cafe or restaurants. Some locals would literally pull out a chair at my table to chat with me as I awaited my meal.

I’d keep thinking to myself—” okay, what’s your real agenda? When are you going to want me to come to your shop or sell me something?”

But honestly, they were just friendly. Udaipur Old City has the mentality of a small village where everyone knows everyone. Locals love to strike up conversations and while they would love for you to visit their shop too, they’re also there to enjoy their moments in the day and fill their curiosity.

Udaipur City Guide: 15 Wanderlust Things to Do in Udaipur’s Old City

today you’ll spend your entire day exploring the old city, starting from the middle and eventually making your way to the Aranvalli

1. Jagdish Temple

Constructed 1651, Jagdish Temple is an Indo-Aryan temple that stands in the heart of the Old City, surrounded by bazaars and souvenir shops. You cannot miss it- it’s easy to spot as there are stone steps leading to the temple and it is raised above the street.. Jagdish Temple is an ode to Lord Vishnu. Its intricately stone-carved designs of pillars, walls and ceilings narrate the Mewar dynasty.

Attend the morning or evening aarti. Definitely one of best things to do in Udaipur.

2. City Palace

Begin your Udaipur trip guide with a visit to the City Palace , an architectural masterpiece that seamlessly blends Rajasthani and Mughal styles. It’s a glimpse into royal history and its lifestyle in Udaipur. Constructed in 1559, this historic gem is large and houses several rooms and wings where generations of royal families once resided. Part of the palace is built around a tree, which you can still see today. The palace has various photogenic nooks and crannies for romantic selfies, as the ornate architectural design, artwork, exhibitions, and stylish rooms offer visitors much to explore. It also offers panoramic views of Lake Pichola. Udaipur trip guide enthusiasts will appreciate the ₹300 entry fee for adults, ₹100 for students with ID. This is a MUST and one of my favorite Udaipur highlights. It’s worthwhile.

Tip: Hire an official guide to get the most out of your visit and learn about the rich history and stories associated with the palace. Guides are available near the entrance. Arrive at 9 AM when the palace opens to avoid the crowds. Around 10 AM, you’ll encounter more tourists and local high school excursions.

You can also purchase Skip the Line tickets and get both, the City Palace and a boat ride on one ticket .

3. Boat Ride on Lake Pichola

ake a boat ride on Lake Pichola to experience the serene beauty of the waters and see the cityscape that dubs Udaipur as the “Venice of India.” It’s a short 10-minute boat ride, typically on a packed passenger boat, but it’s a relaxing experience. The lake is calm, peaceful, and clean, unlike the  Varanasi boat rides. The boat takes you to the Jag Mandir, the Lake Palace. Costs range from ₹500 to ₹700.

Tip: Combine the City Palace with the Lake Pichola boat ride . They are so close together!

4.Jag Mandir or Lake Island Palace

Jag Mandir, also known as the Lake Palace, sits upon Lake Pichola. This 17th-century island palace, once a pleasure retreat for Mewar Maharajas, is a white marble and intricate Rajput architectural gem. Jag Mandir isn’t just a monument; it offers a glimpse into the lavish lifestyle of Rajput royalty. You can get to the Lake Island Palace by the boat above. The boat will drop you and you can spend as much time as you want. There’s not much to do there. You can see the palace and the garden. It is now a hotel and you can have lunch there.

5. Bagore Ki Haveli: Cultural Extravaganza in Heritage Walls

On the shores of Lake Pichola, Bagore Ki Haveli, is an 18th-century haveli  turned into a museum, offering a journey into the royal lifestyle. There are cultural performances held in the eveningaround Rajasthan’s vibrant traditions. There are breathtaking views of Lake Pichola and the City Palace from the rooftop as the sun sets

6. Ropeway to Lake Pichola View: Aerial Spectacle

One of the unequivocably best things to do in Udaipur is to take the ropeway to the top of the Machla Magra Hills (aka Fish Hill). You’ll be rewarded with a breathtaking aerial view of Lake Pichola and its surroundings.

At the top of the ropeway you’ll find a restaurant and some food concessions. It’s a worthwhile ascent as this ropeway will lead you to two panoramic vantage points where you can view the stunning Udaipur city and lake– a lookout point and the Karni Mata temple lookout and temple. Admission: ₹300 for adults. It’s one of the fun and romantic highlights of this Udaipur trip guide.

Tip: Take the ropeway at sunset and stay til night falls to witness the glowing Udaipur city lights.

7. Karni Mata Temple: Serenity on Machla Magra Hills

Perched on the Machla Magra Hills (aka Fish Hill) sits the Karni Mata Temple . Not only is it a sacred site dedicated to the revered rat goddess Karni Mata, but it is also a vantage point offering stunning panoramic views of Udaipur. The temple holds deep religious significance, drawing devotees and tourists alike. There is a sister Karni Mata Temple in Deshnok (Bikaner) where free-roaming rats reside in the temple as part of the worship. The Karni Mata Temple in Udaipur is a smaller temple and the rats are kept in a cage near the entrance of the temple.

Reach the temple by a short uphill climb or opt for the ropeway for a picturesque and leisurely ascent.

Explore the temple grounds, and take in the breathtaking sunset views over the city. Entry is free. It was easily one of my best things to do in Udaipur for a solo travel itinerary.

Tip: At night, the temple is lit with colorful lights to give it a special ambience and festive feeling. You can take the ropeway or hike the hills to get there. The hike is a paved walkway, but it will take you 20 -45 minutes (it’s a small hill) depending upon your health.

Tip:  Do a Udaipur Night Walking tour with a guide .

8. Lok Dharohar cultural performance

Lok Dharohar is a beautiful cultural show that showcases the rich heritage and traditions of Rajasthan . It is a popular tourist attraction in Udaipur, India, and has been running for over 23 years. The show features a variety of Rajasthani folk dances and a puppet show and live music.

The show is held daily at Lok Dharohar Haveli, located on Samor Bagh Road, near Karni Mata Ropeway. There are two shows each day, from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM and 8:00 PM to 9:00 PM. Tickets can be purchased online or at the venue. Check website

This second day is for waking up to the city, gathering your bearings and then visiting attractions outside the Old City and beyond.

9. Street Food  Tour in Udaipur

Indulge your taste buds by touring Udaipur’s street food scene . Experience local flavors from vendors offering an array of delectable dishes from lassi to kachori, deep fried cheese sandwich, dabeli, and jalebi . .Start with breakfast street foods., All the food vendors are open and preparing fresh foods from the fryer. Street foods are sold hot. This is the best time to experience them

Read Decoding Indian food

Prices vary, providing a budget-friendly culinary adventure for solo travelers on the best things to do in Udaipur list. You can also do an Udaipur pub crawl .

As you wander through the vibrant streets of Udaipur, immerse yourself in the local culinary scene by indulging in these iconic street foods that have become synonymous with the city’s flavors.

Read my food safety tips for eating street food

10.. Do a walking tour Udaipur Old city

There’s a lot to see on foot in Old Udaipur. It’s always recommended to hire a guide , to give more infotainment to your city sights. Hiring a guide in Udaipur can be inexpensive, costing anywhere from $24-40/day.

At night, Udaipur is electric, so your day should not end just because the sun goes down. Souvenir shops and cafes are still open, as are temples.  Take a guided walking tour at night,  a tour exploring Udaipur’s hidden gems, or do a day tour with a private guide and car .

11. Visiting a Local Temple

 Experience the spiritual tranquility of Udaipur’s temples. Jagdish Temple and the Karni Mata Temple are highlight picks but Udaipur also has small temples. I stumbled upon a small upstairs temple for Radha – Krishna’s consort- where an artist was doing a four day exhibition. The day I visited, his installation was a colored powder painting upon water. It was pretty phenomenal. It’s also a lively temple.

12. Miniature Painting Gallery

Discover the intricate world of Rajasthani miniature paintings at the City Palace Museum. Admire the details and vibrant colors of this traditional art form. You can also find galleries around town where you might be invited to see the artists at work. There are different levels to miniature paintings: Student, Professor and Master and to be able to buy the specific painter’s brush for this, you need to be a certified artist.

For many artists, this is a handed down craft and it’s a very serious art. The paintings are tedious and meticulous, the more you get to the master level and it can take weeks to months to paint. You might see trees with individual leaves or animals with painted hairs.  It’s definitely a tradition that’s been handed down through the ages. You’ll find a lot of student work in souvenir shops and on the streets; some are even replica prints. But if you buy it from an art gallery, it’s more likely to be real.

13. Saheliyon Ki Bari: Royal Gardens of Tranquility

Saheliyon Ki Bari (“Gardens of the Maidens”) is an 18th-century garden built for royal queens on the banks of Fateh Sagar Lake. I haven’t visited this as my time was short at Fateh Sagar Lake. But it sounds wonderful.  Intricately designed fountains, kiosks, and a lotus pool punctuate the grounds. It’s a haven for photographers and a peaceful retreat for solo travelers. Entry costs ₹10 for Indians and ₹50 for foreigners, making it a serene retreat for Udaipur trip guide seekers.

14. Fateh Sagar Lake.

Fateh Sagar Lake is a man-made lake and one of the four lakes in Udaipur. It houses three islands and two public parks. You can go boating on the lake and visit the parks.

15. Monsoon Palace or Sajjangarh Palace

Built-in 1884 on the Aravalli hilltop, Monsoon Palace or Sajjangarh Palace to observe romantic moonlit nights. The palace was featured in the James Bond film Octopussy and offers a breathtaking sunset view. The palace was originally intended to monitor the monsoon clouds, but it has become a vantage point for visitors seeking panoramic views of Udaipur. To reach the palace, hire an autorickshaw to navigate the winding roads that lead to the top. From the top you’ll get a panoramic vista of Udaipur’s lakes, palaces.

Visit during the evening hours to witness the city illuminated against the canvas of the setting sun.  See the tourism board website for hours and admission.

Animal Welfare Volunteer Programs in Udaipur

16. animal aid unlimited.

Make a meaningful impact by volunteering at Animal Aid Unlimited , an animal welfare sanctuary dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating animals. You can take a guided tour of their facilities, where a volunteer will tell you about all the work they are doing for the various animals they have from cows, goats, donkeys, handicapped/paralyzed/senior dogs and hospital patients. It is a huge sanctuary grounds area with many staff and animal houses. When I went, I saw a lot of work being done from volunteers making food to staff massaging a cow to help it to recovery.  There is a hydrotherapy facility to aid animal recovery as well.  It’s pretty near a farm.

Visit their website to apply for volunteering opportunities. It is free to volunteer but you must find your way to their location.. Many travelers volunteer there. You can volunteer for as long as you want. Donations are welcome to support the sanctuary’s efforts or you can buy merch from shop to support the cause.

Hire a rickshaw to get there. It’s located around 20 minutes outside of Udaipur, but the taxi ride won’t cost much and its a nice way to get out and see additional surrounding sights of Udaipur.

17. We love Strays

One of the things I loved about staying in the Old City is you’ll see locals feeding the homeless street dogs and cows. Along the way, you’ll see water troughs marked Support Strays , a reminder to be kind to the street animals.  It is a one-woman team and she takes volunteers, although you’d need to contact her to learn more ( Call/WhatsApp – 6378669665)

In addition to witnessing this amazing collection, you can enjoy a puppetry show at the Govind Puppet Performance Centre, located inside the building. Also, the folk dance performance at the studio theatres of the Bharatiya Lok Kala Mandal is worth watching.

2. Saas Bahu Temple

Built by King Mahipala of the Kachchhwaha Dynasty in the 10th century, the Saas Bahu Temple is one of the prominent Hindu shrines of Rajasthan. It is located at an approximate distance of about 23 km from Udaipur in the village of Nagda.

Dedicated to Lord Vishnu, the actual name of the shrine is Sahastra-Bahu, meaning ‘the one with multiple hands. However, the distortion of its name to Saas Bahu happened because King Mahipala built another temple adjacent to this temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva, as his daughter-in-law was a follower of Lord Shiva. On the other hand, his wife was a believer of Lord Vishnu. Therefore, these temples are today more popularly known as Saas Bahu Temple, where Saas means ‘mother-in-law’ and Bahu means ‘daughter-in-law’.

3. Lake Fatehsagar

Lake Fatehsagar, which was built by Maharana Jai Singh in 1678 AD, is one of the landmarks of the city. Surrounded by lush hills, it lies north of Lake Pichola .

5. Haldighati

A historic site, Haldighati is a famous mountain pass in the Aravalli Range that connects the districts of Pali and Rajsamand in Rajasthan. This is the area where the historic battle between Man Singh, who served as the general of Mughal Emperor Akbar and the Rajput warrior, Maharana Pratap Singh happened in 1576 AD. An interesting trivia about this battle is that it only lasted for four hours, yet till date, it remains to be one of the greatest fights of Indian history. This is the battle where Maharana Pratap’s favorite horse, Chetak died.

Today, this place is among the popular tourist spots of Udaipur , and receives hordes of visitors. The reason the place has been named Haldighati meaning ‘turmeric pass’ is because of the color of its soil, which has a color similar to turmeric.

6. Udaipur Solar Observatory

Located on one of the islands of Lake Fatehsagar, Udaipur Solar Observatory is one of the topmost solar observation sites in Asia. This observatory was set up by Dr. Arvind Bhatnagar with the support of Vedhashala Trust of Ahmedabad in 1975. It is designed based on the model of the Solar Observatory found at Big Bear Lake in Southern California, the USA. The observatory serves as an ideal site for astrological and astronomical activities.

There are more than hundred rooms in this mansion, which as of today, serves as a popular museum.

One of the highlights of the museum is the Queen’s Chamber, where several antique items have been kept on display such as the glass sculptures of peacocks and two mirrors. Another attribute of this amazing mansion is its interiors, featuring intricate glass and mirror work.

8. Fateh Prakash Palace

Fateh Prakash Palace, built by Maharana Fateh Singh in the 20th century, lies on the eastern banks of the scenic Lake Pichola. A part of the majestic City Palace complex, the Fateh Prakash Palace once served as the venue for royal events. Today, it has been converted into a marvelous five star hotel. However, the original décor and charm of the palace has still been maintained, including armory, miniature paintings as well as royal furniture.

The picturesque vistas it offers of the mighty Aravalli Mountains and Lake Pichola is simply mesmerizing.

9. Rajiv Gandhi Garden

Located near Lake Fatehsagar, Rajiv Gandhi Garden is one of the popular leisure spots in the city. Named after the former Prime Minister of India, Shri Rajiv Gandhi, this park houses a statue of the late leader. In addition to it, there are quite a few attractions in the park including carved statues depicting various animals, fountains, food courts, lush gardens and a children’s park that draws a lot of visitors all through the year. This garden was inaugurated and opened to the public in 2008 by Smt. Vasundhara Raje.

Tourists can come and relax at this garden for a quiet and peaceful time.

This gallery was opened to the public in 1994.

The gallery has a wonderful collection of crockery, candle stands, beds, chairs, dresses, mirrored tabletops, perfume bottles and much more. However, one of its major highlights is the crystal bed.

Top 11 Places to Visit in Udaipur 3 Days Trip

Places to Visit in Udaipur

Udaipur is the ideal destination for a short holiday if you’re looking for natural and ancient beauty. One of Rajasthan’s most picturesque and well-known cities in Udaipur. A visit to the city of lakes is a must on any extended travel in the state.

I recently went on a week-long road trip through Rajasthan with my wife, including a three-day stop at Udaipur. Although there is plenty of attractions in the city, including the city palace, well-known temples, and other historical buildings, one should pay attention to the true beauty that gives the city its vibrant spirit. Hotels in Udaipur  can never make you feel low as they are so innovative, and creative to stay in.

I stayed at Howard Johnson hotel  through one of my friend’s references and they availed me with the details about this city like how to go with a pre-planned itinerary list. Although I created mine with it. You can read it below.

Unlike normal tourists, we abandoned automobiles and walked through the lanes instead. There are recognizable paintings reflecting the splendor of Mewar in every nook and cranny. One should not pass up a simple chat with a local over a cup of tea because it is enlightening with folklore and stories.

So let’s get right to the top attractions you should take advantage of during your three-day trip to Udaipur.

The palace offers an onsite cafe called Palki Khana and The Sunset Terrace restaurant. We didn’t test the food at any of these, but they all have high ratings across various web directories. If you feel like getting treated like royalty, check it out!

A terrace garden with fully grown trees and plants at a height of 100 feet is another attraction of the castle. It was a truly fantastic and fascinating phenomenon to witness.

Government-approved guides are available for a palace tour but are not necessary. If you’d like, you can choose an audio tour instead. In addition, a trip to the municipal palace does make one tired. . Not to mention that a trip to the city palace will empty your wallet. Parking and entrance costs are also charged, and they are fairly expensive.

Attractions within City Palace Parking at City Palace Udaipur are priced at INR 350.

Basic Entry Fee: INR 30 per person (multiple entrances and exits permitted).

Individual admission to the City Palace Museum is 300 INR.

INR 750 gets you into the Crystal Gallery.

Evening Light and Sound Show: 350 INR for lower-level sitting and 550 INR for higher-level seats (higher-level seating)

Choose lower-level tickets for the light and spectacular sound. Everything is audible, visible, and heard.

Take a Lake Pichola boat ride.

It is one of Udaipur’s five famous lakes. A boat trip should be on your three-day schedule for Udaipur, and what better place to enjoy one than Lake Pichola?

With the vast Aravalli mountain range as a backdrop, the boat trip offers some breathtaking views of the adjacent prominent Best hotels in Udaipur , including the Udai Villas, Leela, Oberoi, and the Lake Palace hotel.

For the boat ride, there are two choices. One is a municipal boat ride sponsored by the government, and the city palace hosts the other:

government-sponsored boat tours

Lake Pichola Municipal Boat Ride Point, the starting point

About 1 mile separates it from the City Palace. Up to 2 p.m., the ride costs 150 INR. The ticket is 250 INR after 2 pm. This journey takes between 15 and 20 minutes. The Jagmohan Palace does not offer a stopover.

Rides in private boats departing from the City Palace

A ticket can be purchased at the palace entrance. About 40 minutes pass during this ride. At Jag Mandir, there is a halt where visitors may view additional beautiful buildings and kept-up gardens. While taking in the picturesque vistas all around you, you may also visit the nearby restaurant, which is a bit pricey.

Admire the Lake Garden Palace’s Beautiful Architecture (Jag Mandir Island)

Two islands in Lake Pichola are Taj Lake Palace and Lake Garden Palace. They only have boat access and have fantastic nighttime views.

The Taj Lake Palace is a five-star hotel that the IHC (TATAs) rents out and draws guests with its upscale dining options. But due to security concerns, they now only accommodate in-house visitors since the 26/11 Mumbai attacks.

The Mewar kings’ summer residence was Jag Mandir or Lake Palace Garden. Tourists now visit it to take in the architectural splendor and unwind while enjoying breathtaking views of the City Palace.

It is advisable to take a tour after noon to enjoy Udaipur’s skyline, which is lined with the city’s historic landmarks.

4. Wander about Sajjangarh Wildlife Sanctuary

The Sajjangarh wildlife sanctuary is located at the foot of a hill on the city’s outskirts. It is a zoological park containing various species, including ostriches, tigers, lions, bears, tortoises, migratory birds, and crocodiles, despite being called a nature refuge.

The park can be explored on foot, by golf cart, or by bicycle by visitors. The tickets are a reasonable INR 37 per person, and parking is provided for INR 10.

The Vintage Car Museum offers a taste of classic cars.

The Vintage Car Museum is a kilometer away from the City Palace. The best collection of antique automobiles and cultural history are displayed in this museum, which is a visual delight and offers a pure sense of royalty.

Wander Through the Tempting Gulab Bagh

The magnificent and warm Gulab Bagh is directly across the street and spans 66 acres. It was constructed in the 1800s and included a lake, numerous temples, ponds, a renowned library, and a few government buildings.

A stroll through the park will undoubtedly transport you to the past. The historic buildings and the ingrained architecture among the lush greenery serve as the ideal starting point for a family picnic or a romantic stroll with your significant other.

At the Karni Mata Temple, receive blessings.

Karni Mata Temple is one of Udaipur’s attractions that should be noticed. Devotees and enthusiasts can get to this location, which is close to the City Palace (approximately 1.5 km), by foot or via ropeway.

It was encouraging to see older adults happily walking the 700 steps that lead to the temple. Seeing a Majhar (shrine) directly next to a temple and seeing individuals of both religions peacefully taking comfort in their convictions was an uncommon and comforting sight.

Shop Until You Drop in Udaipur’s Local Markets

The propensity of Udaipur to pamper any visitor is well recognized. There isn’t a nook where you won’t be able to get your hands on anything unique and artistic. On the other hand, it merely showcases the skill and labor of the locals of this area.

There are markets for handicrafts, crockery, footwear, and paintings (Hathi Pole, Bada Bazaar, and Bapu Bazaar, respectively) (Rajasthali – a Government emporium).

For a Real Rural Rajasthani Experience, go to Shilpgram.

Shilpgram is the location to go if you want to learn about a typical rural Rajasthani family’s way of life. This hamlet, which spans a surface area of 70 acres, is an organic representation of their culture and heritage.

The complex was built to spread knowledge and awareness of Rajasthan’s rural arts and crafts. Shilpgram offers a fantastic opportunity for tourists and gives rural and urban artists a chance to meet and collaborate through camps and workshops.

On the complex’s grounds, in addition to shopping, you may take advantage of live pottery demonstrations, camel rides, cultural events, etc. Don’t forget to stop by the fantastic restaurant located inside the property for a snack.

Take Beautiful Photos of Sajjangarh Fort’s Views

The Monsoon palace, which Maharaja Sajjan Singh erected, is situated at the hill’s summit and provides a panoramic view of the city and surrounding area.

Due to its viewpoint and location, the fort—originally intended to be an astronomical observatory—was transformed into a monsoon retreat and a hunting lodge for the royal family. The magnificent views from the top of the hill and the captivating sunrise are a photographer’s dream.

 Day 1 of the 3-Day Itinerary for Udaipur

It would help if you toured the historic district the first day you are in Udaipur. Most big sites are all nearby and easily accessible on foot: Jag mandir, city palace, lake Pichola, hathipole bazaar.

Day Two of the 3-Day Itinerary for Udaipur

Get an early start on the second day of the three-day tour to Udaipur. Prepare yourself and proceed immediately to Fateh Sagar Lake.

Sajjangarh Biological park

Planning A Trip to Udaipur? 3 Days Udaipur Itinerary for You

by Parnashree Devi | Dec 31, 2021 | Best of the Blog , Blog , Destination Promotion , Destinations , India , Popular Tourist Destination , Rajasthan , Travel , Travelogue | 59 comments

Famously known as “The City of Lakes”, Udaipur is one charming destination in Rajasthan . The city has its own pace and vibes which are quite unmatched to the royal image of the cities like Jaipur , Jaisalmer , and Jodhpur . It is quite peaceful. The towering and layered Aravalli hills in the surrounding and the calming effect of the beautiful lakes in the city make it quite enchanting and inviting at the same time.

The royal places, temples, old Havelis, countless narrow lanes, the ancient ghats, and the traditional houses, along with that, the hustling of the markets, buzzing streets with locals and tourists, and somewhere the soothing and pleasing vistas of the lakes add to the charm of the timeless beauty of Udaipur. It doesn’t give you the feel of quintessential Rajasthan.

The common sights like camels on the road, men clad in their typical Rajasthani attire, and Haveli-styled traditional royal hotels, are rare to find in Udaipur. It has a more modern approach in comparison to other cities.

Udaipur, among the  top places in Rajasthan  and India, is considered as one of the most romantic cities and it is a famous wedding destination. This is why you will top-notch luxury hotels flaunt the big lawns, lake view rooms, and other facilities and allow you to live your royal dream.

This was technically my second visit to Udaipur, but it was my first trip wherein I had the opportunity to explore the nook and corner of the city according to the itinerary designed by me. I spent three nights and four days in the city of lakes and visited top tourist attractions. It also includes places around the city as well.

Table of Contents

Day 1 : Three Days Perfect Udaipur Itinerary 

• City Palace

Lake Pichola

• Lok Kala Kendra

Fateh Sagar Lake

I decided to take an early morning flight from Delhi to Udaipur to utilize the whole day. It took hardly an hour and a half to land at the Maharana Pratap Airport. Since my stay was at Justa Sajjangarh, it took 50 minutes drive to reach the hotel from the airport. The temperature was soaring high outside. So, I decided to step out after lunch.

Since I was going to explore the city in the afternoon, I carefully decided on the destinations which are located and easily covered within a few kilometers. I started with the City palace, followed by the Lake Pichola, Lok Kala Kendra for the puppet show, and finally sunset at Fateh Sagar Lake.

City Palace, Udaipur

The city palace of Udaipur is one of the top tourist spots in the city. You will always find tourists throughout the year here. Located on the eastern bank of Lake Pichola , the magnificent palace is a great blend of wonderful Medieval, European, and Chinese Architecture.

Bathed in the bright yellow sunlight on the bank of picturesque Lake Pichola, the view of the spectacular palace is a sight to behold. The City Palace houses numerous gateways, courtyards, pavilions, terraces, corridors, rooms, and hanging gardens.

It is one of the largest palaces in Rajasthan. It was Prince Udai Singh who established the city of Udaipur and later moved his capital from Chittorgarh to the newly built city and started living in the City Palace. The construction of the City Palace took nearly 400 years by the 42 rulers of the Mewar dynasty.

Due to this, the architectural style of the place has seen a rich blend of different influences from various countries. The palace is constructed of marble and granite.

Inside the Palace, you will find Manek Chowk, Badi Mahal, Amar Vilas, Chini Chitrashala, Choti Chitrashali, Dilkhusha Mahal, Durbar Hall, Fateh Prakash Palace, Jagdish Mandir, Krishna Vilas, Laxmi Vilas Chowk, Manak Mahal, Mor Chowk, Rang Bhawan, Sheesh Mahal, and a museum.

There are several gateways that provide entrance to this glorious Palace. The main gate is named ‘Bara Pol’, which leads to ‘Tripolia Pol’. You will find numerous shops and stalls of antiques, book-binders, miniature painters, textile shops, and a restaurant inside the Palace complex.

You can’t miss Lake Pichola which has become an identity for Udaipur. Encircled by the elevated Aravalli hills, Lake Pichola is one of the most beautiful sights in the city. Named after the nearby village Picholi, the alluring lake is flanked by islands, palaces, temples, mansions, ghats, and restaurants.

The White marble structured gorgeous Taj Lake Palace Hotel in the middle of the lake gives it a dreamlike view. You can opt for boat rides on the lake. The sunrise and sunset rides are costly compared to the day rides. The enchanting views of the sunrise and sunset from the bank of the lake are something you should not miss.

It has four main islands namely Jag Niwas, Jag Mandir, Mohan Mandir, and Arsi Vilas. The Jag Niwas which was built by Maharana Jagat Singh in 1740 has now been converted into a Heritage Hotel belonging to the Taj Group and is one of the top attractions of Udaipur.

The Jag Mandir is home to the famous Lake Garden Palace. Mohan Mandir was the place from where the king used to witness the Gangaur festival celebration held annually. Arsi Vilas was basically served as an armory and is now a sanctuary housing a variety of birds.

Bharatiya Lok Kala Mandal

If you want to watch a puppet show and the traditional dance performance of Rajasthan, you can visit Bharatiya Lok Kala Kendra. It houses one of the famous museums in Udaipur.

ALSO READ: WHY SURYAGARH JAISALMER IS NOT JUST A LUXURIOUS PALACE HOTEL, BUT AN EXPERIENCE IN ITSELF

It has an extraordinary collection of Rajasthani ornaments, masks, puppets, musical instruments, dolls, Rajasthani folk artifacts, apparel, paintings, and deities.

The Fateh Sagar Lake is an artificial lake and one of the top tourist attractions in Udaipur. The lake comprises three small islands and the largest of all is Nehru Park, which is quite popular amongst tourists.

The second island also houses a park and the third one has Udaipur Solar Observatory (USO). The stunning Fateh Sagar Lake was built by Maharana Jai Singh in 1678 AD, but it was washed away during the flood. Later Maharana Fateh Singh built the Connaught Dam on the lake and then it was named after him.

The locals generally go for their morning and evening walks around the lake. The tourists prefer to be around the lake in the evening as the sunset view is spectacular there. If you like boating, you can go for it.

Apart from that, there are buzzing street food scenes in the evening. Walking around the lake in the evening, watching the Sun hiding behind the layers of Aravalli hills, is certainly blissful. I saw the best sunset view on the Fateh Sagar Lake.

Day 2 : Three Days Perfect Udaipur Itinerary 

• Kumbhalgarh fort
• Ranakpur Jain Temple
• Hathipol market

On the second day, I decided to explore places that are around Udaipur which can be covered in a day trip. Since I wanted to visit the Kumbhalgarh Fort, which is around 100 km away from Udaipur city, I included Ranakpur Jain Temple on my itinerary as well. Both the spots can be easily covered in a day from Udaipur.

Also, if you want to do shopping in Udaipur, you can visit the Hathipol market while returning from your day trip.

Kumbhalgarh Fort

Kumbhalgarh fort is one of the famous tourist attractions in Udaipur. Located in Rajsamand district of Rajasthan, this fort was declared the UNESCO world heritage site in 2013. The fort has the second largest wall, which stretches to about 36 km, after the Great Wall of China.

Situated on the western Aravalli hills, the fort was built in the 15th century by Rana Kumbha. Because of the topography, inaccessibility, and strategically built, this place was not easily conquered by anyone. In fact, the fort used to serve as a refuge shelter for the Mewar kings during the war period.

It has a great significance for the people, being the birthplace of Mewar’s legendary king Maharana Pratap. Once you climb up the fort, it gives you panoramic views of the surroundings and the ruins inside the forts. The fort houses Jain Temples, baoris, chhattris, water reservoirs, Badal Mahal, Kumbha Palace, and Brahmanical in the fort premises.

Ranakpur Temple

Ranakpur Jain Temple is one of the highly recommended places in Udaipur. While returning back from the Kumbhalgarh fort, I decided to do a detour to explore one of the architectural wonders of India named Ranakpur Jain temple. Built-in the 15th century by the Jain businessman Seth Dharna Sah with the help of the Maharaja Rana Kumbha, the Ranakpur Jain Temple is one of the most sacred and important pilgrimage sites for the Jains.

It took 50 years to complete this magnificent structure. The very first look at the white marble architecture was breathtaking. The exquisite details, marble carvings, and spectacular craftsmanship will amaze you once you step inside. Whether it is the high ceilings, lofty pillars, miniature sculptures on the pillars, or the intricate carvings, it makes a beholder dazed in awe.

ALSO READ: YOUR TRIP TO JODHPUR IS NOT COMPLETE IF YOU MISS THESE PLACES

It is astounding to know that the Ranakpur Jain temple is believed to have 1,444 pillars and not a single pillar is similarly carved. You can spend hours admiring those minute carvings on those pillars. More than anything, I loved the heavily carved and designed high ceilings of the temple.

Once you look up, you will be lost in the immense sea of creativity and skillfulness of those sculptures. The Ranakpur Jain Temple is a sheer example of architectural brilliance. The distance between Kumbhalgarh Fort and Ranakpur Jain temple is 60 km. It is easily doable if you are visiting Kumbhalgarh fort on a day trip from Udaipur.

Hathipol Market

If you are a Shopaholic and love buying local handicrafts, souvenirs, dress materials, silver jewelry, Mojadis or jutis, bandhani print outfits, etc., you must visit Hathipol market in the city. This is one of the prominent markets for all kinds of shopping.

You will be amazed to find a variety of things in this market. If you are good at bargaining, you can actually get things at a much cheaper price. I got a bandhani dupatta for myself. The market is closed on Sundays.

Day 3 :  Three Days Perfect Udaipur Itinerary 

Vintage and classic car museum, saheliyon ki badi, bagore ki haveli, gangaur ghat, monsoon palace, ambrai ghat.

On the third day, I started the day quite early. Since I wanted to explore Badi Lake ( Read more about Badi Lake ) early in the morning, I left the hotel by 7 am. It was followed by the other attractions like Vintage and Classic Car Museum, Saheliyon ki Badi, Bagore Ki Haveli, Gangaur Ghat, Monsoon Palace and ended at Ambrai ghat.

ALSO READ: MIHIR GARH: WORLD’S MOST EXTRAORDINARY HOTEL NAMED BY LONELY PLANET

If something excited me more than anything in Udaipur, it was Badi Lake . The best part of the lake is that it has still not come under the tourist’s radar. Located 12 km away from the main city, Badi Lake is still not explored by many. I reached the lake quite early in the morning since my hotel was located in close proximity.

For the best views, one has to trek up to the Bahubali hills. The aerial view of the crocodile hump look-alike rising hills in the middle of the lake gives the most spectacular scenery around.

The best part of the location is that the terrain is covered with wild tall cactus trees. Built by Maharana Raj Singh I (1652-1680) to eliminate the devastating effects of famine, the lake was the source of water during the drought. He named the lake Jiyan Sagar after his mother Jana Devi.

This is one of the biggest freshwater lakes in India. You can visit the lake throughout the year. But, the monsoon is arguably the best time to see the spectacular beauty of the lake.

Another top attraction in the city is the Vintage and Classic Car Museum. If you are into vintage cars, a visit to this museum is worth your time. It gives you a few glimpses of the royal lifestyle of the Mewar dynasty back then.

Your eyes will pop up seeing a great collection of vintage and classic cars, used by the royalties of past and present. The Vintage Car Museum was initially a Mewar State Motor Garage, which belongs of HRH Group.

ALSO READ: NARENDRA BHAWAN IN BIKANER: EXPERIENCE THE LUXURIES AT THE ROYAL RESIDENCE

The museum was inaugurated on 15th February 2000 where Lord Montagu of Beaulieu, founder of National Motor Museum England was present as a Chief Guest. The museum also houses a shell petrol pump which is still in working condition. All the cars are in working condition and also used in the vintage car rally.

The collection includes a Buick (1946), a pair of Cadillacs (1938/39), a Ford A (1930), an M.G. TC (1946), a Morris Minor 100 (Traveller) (1959), and a Vauxhall 12 (Deluxe) (1947).

This is one of the top places to visit in Udaipur. The Saheliyon ki Badi means “ the garden of maids ”. It is said that Maharana Sangram Singh built this garden and gifted it to his queen. According to the legends, the queen was accompanied by 48 maids in her marriage.

These Royal women used to come to this garden to relax, away from the political chaos. I personally did not find anything great about this place. But if you like gardens, fountains, lotus ponds, etc., you might like this place.

Bagore Ki Haveli used to be the residence of the Prime minister of Mewar kingdom and is now converted into a museum. Built by Amar Chand Badwa in the 18 th century, it is a must-visit place in Udaipur. Located on the waterfront of Lake Pichola at Gangori Ghat, Bagore Ki Haveli is famous for its puppet dance show in the evening.

ALSO READ: PUSHKAR FAIR: A COLOURFUL CARNIVAL

The Haveli houses a huge collection of puppets and the largest turban in the world , along with a lot of artifacts like jewelry, utensils paintings, etc., from the bygone era. The museum also has weapons and wedding sections.  The Haveli houses three chowks namely Kuan Chowk, Neem Chowk, and Tulsi Chowk.

If you enjoy traditional Rajasthan dance and songs, and also puppet shows, you must attend the famous Dharohar Dance Show which starts around 7 pm in the evening at the beautiful courtyard called the Neem Chowk.

The view of Lake Pichola from the Gangaur Ghat is simply stunning. Sitting at the Ghat in the evening, seeing the old city passing by and the calming effect of the water makes it worth spending your time at the Ghat. This is one of the main ghats of the city.

The lanes are narrow around the ghat, so it is advisable to explore the area on a two-wheeler or by walking. It has that old-world charm and I loved wading through those tiny alleyways. The Gangaur Ghat houses a lot of traditional houses along with the Lake Pichola.

One of the famous landmarks around this area is the Bagore ki Haveli. You will also meet folk singers at the ghat who sing soulful Rajasthani songs on request.

You are encouraged to pay whatever you feel like. You must visit the Gangaur Ghat during the famous festival of Mewar called the Gangaur Festival .

If you want to enjoy the best sunset and the aerial view of Udaipur city, a visit to Monsoon Palace is mandatory. This place was highly recommended for its breathtaking views. So on the last day, I decided to see the Monsoon Palace, located on the hilltop. It is a palatial residence.

Maharaja Sajjan Singh used to stay at the palace during the monsoon to enjoy the stunning views of the city and the monsoon clouds. The sunset view from the palace is absolutely breathtaking. The palace is known as Sajjangarh Palace.

I spent around an hour at the palace, exploring the lawn and the terrace. It also houses a restaurant in the palace premises. Though, the palace needs some serious restoration. Sitting on the terrace, watching the sun leaving the sky, painting it orange with its sharp strokes make such gorgeous scenery.

If you are looking to spend a perfect evening, admiring nature and its surroundings in the rugged landscape of Udaipur, the Monsoon Palace is a perfect choice.

Apart from Badi Lake, if I have to choose one more place in Udaipur where I would like to spend time, I would go for the famous Ambrai Ghat. You must visit Ambrai Ghat after sunset.

With the shimmering City Palace dazzling in golden colors, the reflections of the same in the Lake Pichola, the astounding white Taj Lake Palace in the middle of the lake, and the dancing cold breeze, I could spend the entire evening, sitting there and admiring the breathtaking views of the surroundings.

It is surreal out there. Wading through the narrow alleyways, when you reach the Ambrai Ghat and sit there, it just relaxes your body, soul, and mind. I loved this ghat so much that I visited it twice on the same day.

If you are a photographer, capturing the serene beauty of the ghat along with the towering palace and the surroundings is nothing less than a visual treat.

You can also enjoy watching people taking a boat ride on the lake. The sunset view from Ambrai ghat is something else. It is mesmerizing. This place is one of the most preferred hangout places for the younger generation in the city. Ambrai Ghat is also the most loved place in the city of lakes.

Very nice blog with a lot of useful details for visitors of Udaipur. You have covered a lot of attractions in the city. I am going to follow your footsteps in my Udaipur trip next month. Worth Reading!!

I was planning to visit the land of Maharajas and I found your udaipur itinerary very helpful. Now I have the perfect idea of which places to travel and what to see in Udaipur. I can’t wait to visit the Vintage car museum as it showcases the royal side of the kings and their fascination with automobiles! Very informative and good read!

I was little when I visited Udaipur. Your post brought back so many memories. Ranakpur Jain temple caught maximum attention as I am amazed to know that the temple has 1,444 pillar with no similar carving on them. I wasn’t aware of this before and this surely goes to my bucket list, right now.

I would love to visit Udaipur ! Never been here but always wanted to go since I have a friend who is from the same region. My first stop would definitely be the museums!

Seems like 3 days in Udaipur is enough for the first timer. It looks like you covered the most important places, and you even managed to visit museums. I wonder if Ranakpur Temple got influences from Thai. At least that’s how it looked like from afar.

Reading this has me very excited for my first trip to India. My mother and I will be exploring the state of Rajasthan with a group then I will go on by myself to explore further. I am pinning this to my India Wanderlust pinterest board so I can come back to use it as a guide in Udaipur. Thanks!

Very informative post on Udaipur with full itinerary and list of major attractions. I have been to Udaipur during my schooling days and have been to all these places but missed Vintage car museum and Bharatiya Lok Kala Mandal. It would be great to see some traditional Rajasthani performances here.

Pretty thorough itinerary here, with a ton of variety. I wouldn’t have thought to include a vintage and classic car museum, but it sounds like a great break to rest the eyes from all of the stunning architecture around. I like the idea of visiting the Monsoon Palace. It looks like a great vantage point to get a stunning aerial view!

Great guide and all so many places I would love to visit in Udaipur. That Lake Pichola has been on my bucket list for as long as I have known about it. Hopefully, I get to see it next year.

Hey nice article,, this article dragging me to see Udaipur. Really I can’t wait to see. Thanks for sharing.

Places to Visit in Udaipur in 3 days | A marveling history

Udaipur has a romantic vibe to it unmatched by no other. Stunning temples, enchanting palaces, serene lakes and warm people, my trip to Udaipur was refreshing, fulfilling and I really cannot wait to go back. Which is why I have rounded up the best places to visit in Udaipur in 3 days.

Also, known as the “Venice of the East”, I believe whoever chose that name for Udaipur accurately thought of it. Those narrow-cobbled lanes, enthralling temples with magnificent architecture that are 200 years old, and the crisps sunsets from the rooftop restaurants is completely heartwarming and urges you to extend your trip just a day more.

Here are some of few places that I absolutely loved to check out if you are in Udaipur for a quick 72 hours. If you are a solo traveler, you may just end up visiting these places in a day or two.

Where Should You Stay?

There are many grand and luxe accommodation options in Udaipur, but if you are solo traveller like me you should experience the hostel life. One of the best hotels in Udaipur is Bunkyard Hostel . The hostel is the perfect setting because of its affordable cost, view of Lake pichola and City place is located just 10 minutes by walk from the hostel. The owner also believes that all individuals that arrive in the hostel should be able to express them in all ways which is why you will see people even smoking at the reception or dancing away to their own tunes at 12am in the common room.

I met some great travelers who were traveling for around 6 months, you will be bestowed with stories and this strange sort of connection that you will remember for years.

Places to visit in Udaipur in 3 days

1) lake pichola.

For all of you who don’t know my favorite Hindi movie ( and maybe even yours) is Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani. There is a scene where Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor take a day off from their best friend’s wedding to explore Udaipur. And exactly on this day, they fall in love!!!! (SORRY I JUST CAN’T). Well, as soon as I got to Udaipur to my room , I was asked the reception boy if I wanted to come for a boat party. In the first 15 minutes of me just settling in, I decided to just wing it and said yes let’s do it.

The crystal watered lake outlined with tree-lined hills and small Arsi Villas was super duper refreshing. My hostel being nearby itself, the short walk towards to lake through cobbled streets was a relief and marveling. If you are a luxe traveler, watch out for Oberoi Udaivillas (The Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani wedding scene was shot here) that is humongous and dripping with gorgeousness and other great hotels such as Taj Villa Hotels and Leela Palace Udaipur. They are opulent, scenic and have some of the best dining views.

2) Jagdish Temple

3) Monsoon Palace

One of the best places in Udaipur to visit in 3 days is Monsoon Palace. Built by the Mewar dynasty, Monsoon Palace is a hilltop palatial residence, overlooking the Fateh Sagar Lake. Monsoon Palace in Udaipur is the perfect place to watch the sunset with your loved ones. The panaromic views from here of the city of Udaipur are truly magnificent. Don’t forget to sip on a khullad coffee while you are sinking in the sunset (it is a must-try in Udaipur).

You haven't had coffee until you've tried #Rajasthan famous khullad(mud pot) #coffee at monsoon palace. Sit back, watch the entire town of #Udaipur at your feet sway through sunset, while you sip on goodness with your loved one! ? P.S "things to do in udaipur" article coming out very very soon! A post shared by Sachi Kumar | Dubai Blogger (@wheresachi) on Nov 26, 2017 at 3:34am PST

4) City Palace

One of the most iconic touristic places to visit in Udaipur without any doubt. The cute archways, massive terraces, mosaic windows and just so much colour everywhere. I mean who would have imagined actually living here?

5) Ghangaur Ghat

Traditional ghats are usually used as a way of celebrating traditional Hindu festivals. Best sunset views and should be part of your itinerary of places to visit in Udaipur in 3 days. My sunset view from the Ghat along with the view of Lake Pichola was so endearing. I loved every moment about it and loved the fact that it was such a historical treasure.

6) Badi Lake

Another scene of Yeh Jawaani hai Deewani was shot here, remember when they were having a banter over who’s life and which scenario is better on a big jeep while savouring a Dairy Milk… yeah that was here.

Badi Lake provides a nice hike place and also has enthralling scenic views.

Life isn’t meant to live through the screens, live the moment, capture it in your head and I promise you will relish it and remember it for the rest of your life. Let me know in the comments if these places to visit in Udaipur in 3 days were enough or hit me up if you want me to write another itinerary.
