About The City of Lake (Udaipur)

Picturesque and elegant, Udaipur is known by many names, including “the City of Lakes”. Undoubtedly one of India’s most romantic cities, it nestles between the glassy waters of its famous lakes and the ancient Aravelli Hills. Although it is one of Rajasthan’s largest cities, modern Udaipur manages to retain a charming small town vibe. Built along a series of gentle hills, narrow winding streets, full of abrupt twists and turns, give way to spectacular marble palaces, hibiscus-laden gardens, sparkling fountains and pavilions. This dreamy destination has inspired many an artist and literary enthusiast.
