Top 10 Things to See and Do in Udaipur
Lake Pichola
1
Reflecting the beautiful blue and grey of the surrounding mountains on its glass-like surface Lake Pichola is a magically scenic spot. The city complex and gardens hugging the eastern shore are a magnificent display of the opulence and indulgence of another era. Wander the lakeside or take a private tour boat trip out to explore the island or take a pleasure cruise and relax admiring the stunning views and peaceful surroundings.
Jagmandir Island
2
Taking up all of Jagmandir Island in the middle of Lake Pichola is this stunning yellow sandstone Palace. It has very changed little over the years, and this marvellous marble Palace still holds its grandeur and its amazing architecture. A row of huge stone Elephants greet you at the entranceway into the compound, and the bluestone 17th-century tower is breathtaking. Visit this marvel on an excellent custom tour.
Shilpgram
3
Take a private tour of this fascinating crafts village, situated west of Fateh Sagar and was inaugurated by Rajiv Gandhi in 1989. This place is the cultural center of Udaipur. It comprises of 26 traditional village houses from all areas of India and there are exhibits in each one of crafts from those particular areas. The best thing about a trip here is the traditional dances and artisans that perform when you arrive.
City Palace
4
Built in 1559, City Palace is the largest Palace complex in Rajasthan and an architectural marvel. There is a blend of Medieval, European and Chinese architecture still seen all over the compound. On your private tour, you will find towers, arches, domes, an assortment of hidden courtyards, pavilions and lush green hanging gardens, not to mention the grand main Palace with all its beauty and stylish decor.
Durbar Hall
5
As the City Palace is so big, you may not be able to appreciate everything if you try to see it all in one tour and Durbar Hall deserves a lot of time. The high ceilings of the Royal reception hall still hold some of India’s biggest, ornate chandeliers. On the walls, there are displays of portraits and weapons from the oldest ruling dynasty in the world. There are viewing galleries where ladies were able to watch events in hiding.
Sajjan Garh / Monsoon Palace
6
Sajjan Garh is like a neglected fairy tale castle that is perched on top of a distant hill. Maharana Sajjan Singh built this castle in the 19th century, and it is now owned by the government. It maybe a bit dilapidated but that does not stop visitors going to see the palace and the brilliant views from where it sits, especially at sunset, it is magical. Try the wildlife sanctuary to visit on your private tour of India.
Ahar
7
East of the old city is Ahar, and it is where you will find Udaipur’s royal cremation ground. Forming a city of domes, there are over 372 ornate cenotaphs of Maharanas and queens of Mewar. This spectacular site has been built up over 400 years. The newest cenotaph erected in 2004 was that of the last Maharana of Udaipur, Bhagwat Singh who died in 1984. From there you can also visit the Ayad Jain Temple and the Ahar Government Museum.
Jagdish Temple
8
This Ornate Hindu Temple in Udaipur is reached by steep steps flanked by elephants. It is a busy Indo-Aryan Temple built by Maharana Jagat Singh in 1651 and lies just north of north of City Palace. There are wonderfully carved structures in the Temple, and the main one is a structure enshrining an image of Vishnu, in black stone, as Jagannath, Lord of the universe. There are lots to see on guided private tour here.
Bagore-Ki-Haveli
9
A museum built in the 18th century situated on the water’s edge in the Gangaur Ghat. It was constructed by the prime minister of Mewar and has been carefully and sympathetically restored. The haveli houses a gallery that features a collection of fascinating photos of Udaipur and a world famous collection of surreal monuments carved out of polystyrene. There is also a display that holds the world's biggest turban.
Machla Magra
10
Offering unrivalled views over Lake Pichola and the Monsoon Palace this is the most amazing vantage point to experience this view. Come to watch the sunset over the Lake Pichola Temple and the ruins of the ancient fort. Probably not for the feint hearted a cable car, run by ropes, swings you up the hill to the top. However, the perfect panoramic views make it a trip well worth taking and a spectacular photo opportunity.
