UDAIPUR, RAJASTHAN

A former royal abode, Udaipur is crowded with lakes, palaces, royal gardens and monuments. History peeks out from every door speaking of the glory of the Rajputana.

Founded by Maharana Udai Singh in 1568, Udaipur is considered the jewel of Mewar. A city studded with majestic palaces, lakes and well-planned gardens, Udaipur emanates a strong sense of romance, adventure and the best of Rajputana.
The grand City Palace, actually a conglomerate of eleven palaces, overlooks the sprawling Lake Pichola. An architectural wonder in granite and marble, it is the largest royal abode in the state of Rajasthan. The Lake Palace, now a five-star hotel and an ideal retreat for honeymooners, is one of the most popular palaces in the city. Udaipur is also a centre of historic arts and crafts of Mewar, like the Mewar School of Miniature Painting.
A city reveling in history, romance, beauty and art, Udaipur is a must-see for all those who relish hobnobbing with the glorious past.
