About this trip
Udaipur is one of the easiest Rajasthan recommendations we make, close enough to Delhi, Jaipur, Ahmedabad and Mumbai for a long weekend and polished enough to feel like a proper getaway. Lake Pichola, the City Palace and a growing list of rooftop cafes give it a mix of heritage and a nice place to just sit and watch the evening go by.

Did you know?
Lake Pichola isn't natural, it was artificially created in 1362 by a Banjara tribesman named Pichhu, nearly two centuries before Udaipur itself existed. Maharana Udai Singh only founded the city on its banks in 1559.

Things to actually do here
Boat ride on Lake Pichola
The classic Udaipur evening, City Palace and the Aravalli hills lit up from the water.
City Palace complex
11 palaces built over centuries by successive Mewar rulers, connected by mazelike passages.
Lake Palace view from Ambrai Ghat
The floating marble palace is a hotel today, but the view from the ghat is free and arguably better at sunset.
Jagdish Temple
A working 17th-century temple a short walk from the City Palace, worth timing around the evening aarti.
Local food worth a stop in Udaipur
Dal baati and gatte ki sabzi
The Mewari staples, best in a family-run thali place in the old city.
Ambrai
Lakeside restaurant facing the City Palace across Lake Pichola, popular for sunset dinners.
