Things to do in Udaipur

Visiting City Palace was a highlight of my trip. The intricate architecture and the blend of Rajasthani and Mughal styles are breathtaking. I particularly loved the Peacock Courtyard and the museum displays which are very well-maintained. It took about two hours to see everything properly. Highly recommend hiring a guide to hear the stories behind the royal family!

It costs 150-200 rupees to take a tuk-tuk near the City Palace to the foot of the Monsoon Palace. There is a long way up the mountain from the foot of the mountain to the Monsoon Palace at the top of the mountain. You need to take their "taxi", which costs 90 rupees per person for a round trip. The ticket is also purchased at the ticket office, and then you just need to wait for the bus at the gate. Obviously, this is a good place to see the whole city. But I don't think it is a good place to watch the sunset. The sun sets in the direction of the mountains, but you can't see the city and the lake, and the wind is very strong at the top of the mountain.

Jagdish Temple is one of the finest architectural wonders of the Mewar Dynasty. Jagdish Temple showcases the Indo-Aryan style of architecture. The temple was built keeping in mind the rules of Vastu Shastra, the Hindu science of architecture. The three-storeyed temple is built on a high platform and features magnificent suspended pillars, huge airy halls and painted walls adorned with bright colours and intricate ceilings. Two huge stone elephant statues are placed at the entrance to welcome the visitors.

It is an artificial lake with three small islands. You can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the lake from a yacht or take a leisurely stroll in the park on the island. This is the largest man-made lake in Ubud and a favorite lake for locals to visit in their spare time.

Horrific service and worst staff attitude. Didn't get food after waiting for an hour on the table and asking several times to serve us, while others who came after us were seated and served food and drinks. Hospitality was out the window somewhere in the garbage and we are certain that the discrimination done was purely because we were women. The manager had no idea or interest about the operations of the restaurant/bar as he was too busy sending his customers away to other restaurants like Khamma Ghani. The only saving grace is the location, but you can't satiate your hunger by looking at the view. Very very very disgraceful for a place that overlooks the royal palace. What a shame on the soil of Rajas and Maharajas. I'm sorry Udaipur, Ambrai restaurant ruined your name forever for us for being pathetically chauvinistic.

✨ Lake Pichola is one of the most enchanting lakes in India, famous for its royal beauty, peaceful atmosphere, and stunning sunset views. Surrounded by majestic palaces, historic temples, and the scenic Aravalli Hills, the lake creates a magical reflection that captures the charm of Udaipur perfectly. Colorful boats gliding across the calm water, combined with the beauty of the iconic City Palace and Lake Palace, make every moment unforgettable. Whether enjoying a peaceful boat ride or watching the golden sunset over the water, Lake Pichola offers a timeless experience filled with romance, elegance, and breathtaking natural beauty.
