Udaipur

About

Discover Udaipur

Udaipur is the most romantic city in Rajasthan — a place of shimmering lakes, white-marble palaces and the gentle noise of pigeons echoing across ancient courtyards. The City Palace, 244 metres long and 34 metres high, rises from the eastern bank of Lake Pichola in a compound of 11 smaller palaces blending Rajasthani, Mughal, European and Oriental styles. The Lake Palace hotel appears to float on the water itself; Jag Mandir — another island palace — was the refuge of the Mughal prince who would become Shah Jahan. Film buffs will recognise the setting from Octopussy (1983). The surrounding Aravalli Hills shelter leopards and, in the village of Narlai, a community of Rabari pastoralists who have shared this terrain with the animals for centuries.
