Apart from the City Place, this city has lot more to offer. There are beautiful temples and parks that are worth a visit.
Lake Palace
Lake Palace is one of the most beautiful places. The Palace situated amidst the scenic Pichola Lake. It was constructed by Maharana Jai Singh II in 1746. Raised in white marble, the magnificent palace stretches across four-acre island. Other name of this palace is Jag Niwas named after the King.

Currently, this palace has been transformed into a five-star hotel that is managed by Taj Group of Hotels. Special thanks to my friend Raghu for this picture. When we had visited the place there was not much water in the lake. He had clicked this snap on his earlier visit.
Jagadish Temple
The temple is located 150m north of the entrance to the City Palace. The temple was built by Maharana Jagat Singh in 1651.
Sajjan Niwas Garden
This city is famous not only for lakes, but also gardens. There are lot of gardens in the city and we had time to visit only one of such garden.
It occupied around 100 acres of land and this garden famous for the roses. For the same it is also known as rose garden.
From Udaipur we traveled to Jaipur, the Pink City.
Distance: Udaipur ---> Jaipur 405 kms
P.S: December is the month when lot of tourists land in Rajasthan. So if you really want all the arrangements to be done properly this has to be done before October end.

Thank you for this most interesting post. All those beautiful carvings are so gorgeous! In this day and age buildings are so sober and nobody has time to decorate them. Thanks for your visit.
ReplyDeleteThe lake palace must be an amazing place to visit when the lake is filled with water. Any reason for the short of water? Is it seasonal?
