Destination

Udaipur

Venice of the East

The City of Lakes, the Venice of the East, the Kashmir of Rajasthan…the very multitude of titles it’s earned over time bear testimony to Udaipur’s beauty, character and popularity. Widely regarded as one of the most romantic cities in India, Udaipur is, indeed, a heavenly concoction of azure waters, plush hills, vibrant gardens, magnificent forts and palaces, awe-inspiring mountain ridges, and countless narrow streets. Three interlinked lakes — Fateh Sagar Lake, Lake Pichhola and Swaroop Sagar Lake — constitute the core of the city. The shimmering glint of Lake Pichola contrasts beautifully with the many white marble monuments and palaces that have given Udaipur the nickname of The White City. The granite and marble ode to Udaipur’s legacy, the City Palace never fails to stun visitors from far and wide.
