A Guide to India's Magical City of Lakes, Udaipur
Looking for somewhere to chill out after the chaos of Rajasthan? Romantic, relaxed Udaipur is the perfect place. Here are our favourite things to do in Udaipur, plus advice on where to stay, where to eat, and how to get there.
Udaipur is, without a doubt, the favourite stop on our three week India itinerary.
Surrounded by a series of soaring, craggy hills and set on the idyllic Lake Pichola, Udaipur is a wonderful mix of ornate palaces, intricate temples, stately Havelis (local, smaller palaces), narrow whitewashed streets, and picturesque lakeside bathing ghats.
In some ways, it feels a little like Europe, which is perhaps why it’s been it’s dubbed the ‘Venice of the East’.
Beyond the tangible beauty of the city are a lively arts scene, authentic cultural shows, colourful bazaars and a more relaxed vibe.
Endlessly romantic, Udaipur seems completely foreign to the rest of India, so we recommend exploring the best places to visit in Udaipur over three days to adequately ‘feel’ the city and its quirks.

THE TOP PLACES TO VISIT IN UDAIPUR, INDIA
#1 EXPLORE THE INCREDIBLE UDAIPUR CITY PALACE
Spending time in Rajasthan, it’s easy to experience 'palace fatigue’, a sort of malaise that occurs when walking into yet another beautiful, gem-adorned room of a sprawling palace complex. That’s Rajasthan for you, palaces galore, even in the most off the beaten track cities (looking at you Bundi).
Udaipur City Palace though is different.
Rajasthan’s largest palace, Udaipur City Palace sits gloriously above Udaipur old town, its cream walls rising 30m out of Lake Pichola.
Construction on the original palace began in 1599 by Udaipur’s founder, Maharana Udai Singh ll, and over time has been added to and extended by various Maharanas (Kings of Udaipur) over the subsequent years.
Now, the City Palace is made up of several stunning, unique palaces (11 in total) and squares (chowks) within the vast, sprawling complex.
On a hot, energy-sapping day, we spent over two hours walking the palace grounds, learning from our local guide (we totally recommend you get a guide for your visit - it’s priceless!), while exploring the colourful and ornate rooms, elegant balconies and beautiful courtyards and pavilions.
Within the extensive palace complex, there are a number of must-see sights we recommend you visit:
Mor Chowk | The most spectacular of the City Palace courtyards, the ornate and colourful More Chowk is decorated with five peacocks and glass inlays. An incredible 5,000 pieces of mosaic tiles have been used in creating the works of art.
Zenana Mahal | The insta-famous blue interior of the City Palace can be found here inside the queen’s chambers. Restored and decorated to their former glory, the rooms feature colourful frescoes, ornate balconies and intricate alcoves.
Badi Mahal | The highest point of the Udaipur City Palace complex, the Garden Palace was used for royal banquets on special occasions such as Diwali and Holi. Built in 1699, its main feature is the 104 intricately carved pillars by local artisans.
Moti Mahal | The ‘Palace of the Pearls’, Moti Mahal is surrounded by mirrored walls and stained glass windows, creating amazing reflections and the ultimate Instagram playground.
We recommend entering the complex through Badi Pol (Great Gate) at the northern part of the Palace, which passes through the stunning Tripolia Gate before opening out into the large courtyard of Manek Chowk, which also offers incredible views over the labyrinth streets of Udaipur below.
Entry into the Palace costs INR 30 through Badi Pol and Sheetla Mata Gate, however, to enter the main part of the complex, the City Palace Museum, you’ll need to pay an additional INR 250.
If you’re not too keen on hiring a guide, we recommend renting an audio guide for INR 200 to learn more about the historical significance of the complex.
THE DETAILS
Where | Udaipur City Palace
Opening hours | Palace complex 9am - 5pm, City Palace Museum 9:30am - 5.30pm
Cost | Palace complex INR 30, City Palace Museum: INR 250
Book | A guided Udaipur city tour, including a visit to Udaipur City Palace
#2 EXPERIENCE THE COLOURFUL AND BRILLIANT DHAROHAR CULTURAL SHOW
We’re generally not keen on cultural dance shows as they tend to feel a little too much like an inauthentic tourist trap for our liking.
However we were actually pretty happy we visited the Dharohar folk dance show in Udaipur - it was the best performance of its kind we’ve seen anywhere in the world, and really gave us a strong understanding of the importance of dance, costumes, puppetry and colour to Rajasthani culture.
Set within a small enclosed courtyard under a beautiful tree in Bagore-Ki-Haveli, an old private palace, the show is a mix of traditional Rajasthani music, dance, puppetry, colourful costumes, mixed with just a little humour.
Commencing just after sunset, the show starts slowly as local musicians enthral the crowds before an explosion of colour and dancing brings the show to life. Puppetry, and a little humour, will have you laughing before the enthralling finale brings the show to a close.
The Dharohar folk dance show appeals not only to an international audience but locals too (the crowd was majority Indian!), so we thoroughly recommend this as one of the best things to do in Udaipur.
The shows commence daily at 7 pm, and tickets cost INR 150 per person (an additional INR 150 if you want to take photos). In peak season, the shows book out well in advance, so book ahead of time.
THE DETAILS
Where | Dharohar folk dance show, Bagore-Ki-Haveli
Cost | INR 150 per person, additional INR 150 for photos
Hours | 7 - 8pm daily (may differ during the peak season)
#3 ENJOY A SUNSET CRUISE ON STUNNING LAKE PICHOLA
Sunsets in Udaipur need to be seen to be believed, and experiencing one from Lake Pichola is one of the best things to do in Udaipur.
The serene setting of the Udaipur is the perfect backdrop; the marble facades of the old town, City Palace, Jag Mandir, and Jag Niwas (which is actually the iconic Taj Lake Palace hotel) light up as the sun sets behind the Aravalli Mountains in the distance, shifting through colours of the rainbow as day turns to night.
On the lake it’s incredibly serene; local fisherman pulls their nets from below, ladies wash their clothes on the banks, while kids play and swim around the local ghats.
We spent an hour on the lake swapping between wanting to photograph every. single. angle., and stopping to enjoy the moment, and you’ll likely do the same for it’s here that the best views of Udaipur are enjoyed.
If you’re unable to go on a sunset boat ride, we still recommend joining a cruise (you can book a guided tour here), which runs between 10 - 6 pm.

Where | Lal Ghat, Udaipur
Cost | IDR 400 + per person
Book | A guided tour of Lake Pichola
#4 LEARN ABOUT UDAIPUR’S MINIATURE ART HISTORY (AND GRAB YOURSELF A PIECE)
The rich and colourful artistic culture in Udaipur is palpable; street corners, temples, even the City Palace, is adorned with art of every type, from ornate paintings and street art, to street musicians and singers.
It is this artistic expression that gives Udaipur a sense of romanticism that often lacks in the rest of India.
It’s not surprising then, to learn that Udaipur is also the epicentre of miniature painting art, and an ancient form of art brought to India from the Mughals in Persia. This art, over the generations, has been used to represent Royal life, depicting scenes synonymous with royalty - palaces, chariots, elephants and beyond.
We learned all about Udaipur’s miniature art at Janak Niwas Hotel and art studio, led by the Bollywood-handsome Shiv, owner and miniature painting artist extraordinaire.
Comprising a collective of local artists led by Shiv, the studio showcases this unique style which dates back many generations and includes artworks currently displayed in the opulent palace by Shiv’s grandfather, a locally revered master artist.
Shiv began Janak Niwas with the vision of spreading his family-inherited artistic skills, which includes intricate miniatures, murals, paintings made from the local technique of stone crushed water-based dye on materials as wide-ranging as silk, paper, card, rice paper & a unique ivory-like camel bone slate.
Taking us through the importance of miniature art, through to his family history, the visit to Janak Niwas was enlightening, and we even received a piece of art of our own - a painted nail depicting any animal we chose - which showcased Shiv’s insane talents right under your eye.
You can also take miniature art classes at Hotel Janak, where Shiv and his team teach you all you need to know. Using a template, you’re able to paint using ancient techniques, which gives you a great piece of art at the end of your class.
It’s a great way to learn more about Rajasthan and Udaipur’s artistic heritage.
THE DETAILS
Where | Janak Niwas Hotel, Udaipur
#5 WATCH A BEAUTIFUL SUNSET FROM GANGAUR GHAT
Sunsets in India are among the best we’ve seen on this planet - a positive byproduct of the incredible amounts of pollution and particles in the air - which give the skies a pastel shade of orange, pink, purple and blue before the sun finally sets.
One of the best things to do in Udaipur is to watch this colourful show from Gangaur Ghat, located right on the shores of Lake Pichola.
As the sun slowly sets over Aravalli Mountains in the distance, a quintessential Indian scene plays out in front of us; Overlooking Tripura, Jag Mandir, and Jag Niwas (Taj Lake hotel), kids swim in the lake from the ancient ghats, while men throw in a line, hoping to for their daily catch. A local man fills the air with incredible music from his Sarangi, a local Rajasthani instrument, while pigeons scatter at the slightest movement.
It’s bloody magical.
Gangaur Ghat is the perfect place to end each day, so we recommend grabbing your partner, mates or hostel friends and heading straight here from 5 pm.
If you’d prefer to watch the sunset with a beverage in hand, head to one of the many rooftop bars in the surrounding area.

Where | Gangaur Ghat, Udaipur

India was without a doubt the most colourful and chaotic place we’ve ever visited.
Let our latest Youtube video ignite the senses and get you excited for a trip to India.
#6 SHOP TILL YOU DROP IN UDAIPUR
Beyond the incredible bazaars and markets of the old town, Udaipur is well known for its wealth of shopping opportunities, so ivy you’re going to spend your hard-earned anywhere in India, we recommend here.
There’s a huge range of textiles on sale throughout the old town, ranging from standard backpacker uniform (you know, those horrible elephant pants!), to more luxurious, bohemian pieces made by local designers.
The best place to find all things textiles is Ganesh Handicraft Emporium. Located in a 350-year-old building among the narrow lanes under the City Palace, there’s a huge range of contemporary and vintage rugs, shawls, table runners, hand bags and more.
You’ll also want to check out the unique and beautiful handbags by Vipul Shah, which are famous among Bollywood Celebs and worthy of your holiday savings.
If you’re a fan of linen (like Mark!), there are a number of tailors that will create pieces based on your requirements, perfect if you’re after a few relaxed linen numbers to wear in India and at home.
Jewellery and accessories are seemingly located on every street corner, and you’re able to pick up everything from necklaces to leather wristbands. Leather goods are also in abundance, from handbags and backpacks to belts and slippers.
For the art lovers and collectors on their travels, you won’t be disappointed - head to Hotel Janak Niwas for some authentic miniature art paintings, famous from the region, or stop by the many stores on City Palace Road and around Jagdish temple.
THE DETAILS
#7 WALK UDAIPUR’S COLOURFUL OLD TOWN STREETS & MARKETS
With a myriad of laneways and streets filled with colourful streets and painted buildings, ancient havelis (palaces) and crumbling temples, Udaipur’s historic centre is well worth a few hours of your time.
It’s a time-worn cliche, but walking the old town streets makes you feel as if you’ve stepped back in time. The markets and bazaars of Udaipur bustle, with traders eagerly pushing their wares; everything from jewellery to tailors, fruits to samosas.
Men and women work in doorways to keep cool, working hard despite the heat. Colourful handwritten signs adorn each entry. Smiles and ubiquitous head bobbles are forthcoming at every turn.
We play cricket with schoolboys in the narrow laneways and talk to elders with sign language and smiles.
It’s colourful, chaotic, dusty, smelly and thoroughly intoxicating.
We took the roads from Lake Pichola towards Bada Market and Mandi Market, however, we feel like following your nose and getting wonderfully lost among these streets is the best.
#8 ENJOY A ROMANTIC DINNER AT AMBRAI RESTAURANT
During our travels, we’ve often found a direct correlation between restaurant views and the quality of the food; in almost all cases, from Istanbul to Kathmandu, the better the view, the worse the food.
At Ambrai, situated on the shores of Lake Pichola, we found an outlier!
Overlooking the majestic City Palace and the magnificent Lake Palace (Jag Niwas), Ambrai is the most romantic restaurant in all of Udaipur. As you can imagine, we didn’t hold much hope for the food - we expected high priced, but average quality.
We were pleasantly surprised when our selection of dishes arrived; this was the best we’d eaten in Rajasthan - thick, flavourful Rajasthani curries served with delicious naan with ample rice to fill our bellies.
Coupled with the jaw-dropping views over the floodlit city, this was a meal that will long live in our memories.
Ambrai caters for both non-veg and veg, and with a huge array of tandoor and curries, as well as salads, bread and continental options.
If you’re looking to splash out in Udaipur, we recommend booking a table at Ambrai.
#9 EXPLORE UDAIPUR’S MOST IMPORTANT HINDU TEMPLE, JAGDISH
Hindu temples are a dime and a dozen in India, yet Jagdish, with its intricate carvings of Hindu gods and Elephants, is one of the best places to visit in Udaipur.
Standing tall on a raised terrace on the edge of a bustling intersection in the heart of the old town, Jagdish, built in the 17th century by Maharana Jagat Singh, is Udaipur’s most important and impressive temple.
The entrance, situated at the top of a set of stairs, is guarded by two large stone elephants. At the top of the stairs lies the entrance to the main structure, a three-story tall temple built in Indo-Aryan style, which houses lush halls, carved ceilings and pillars, and beautifully painted halls - we were astounded by the detailed and ornate carvings during our visit to Jagdish.
During our visit, we were treated to a Hindu ceremony complete with singing, chanting and the gift offering; it was amazing to see such a ceremony first hand and to feel the energy that reverbed from inside the temple.
When visiting, make sure you check out the idol of Lord Vishnu, carved from a single piece of black stone, and the four smaller shrines of Shiva, Ganesh, the sun god, and the goddess Shakti.
When entering the temple, make sure to cover your legs and shoulders, remove your shoes, and refrain from taking photos or videos inside the temple proper.
Although it’s free to enter the complex, you’ll need to pay a tip for someone to mind your shoes.
#10 GET YOUR PRACTICE ON WITH A ROOFTOP YOGA SESSION
Yoga is, for all intents and purposes, our favourite form of exercise - there’s nothing better than stretching out a travel-weary body and practising mindfulness on the road. And in Udaipur, yoga is taken to another level, literally.
Above the rabbit-warren streets and whitewashed havelis, rooftop yoga classes are a thing here in Udaipur, and it’s absolutely wonderful. As the city wakes and the sun rises over the mountains to the east, early morning practice is filled with stretching, light poses, and a touch of meditation to finish.
We recommend joining a class at Enteyoga, which is led by Seethu, an extremely experienced yoga teacher specialising in Vinyasa.
The English-speaking classes take you through a number of different sequences and poses, leaving you feeling relaxed and refreshed, while the setting, alongside a 350-year-old temple overlooking Lake Pichola, has to be seen to be believed.
Trust us, this is one of the best things to do in Udaipur.
THE DETAILS
Where | Enteyoga, Udaipur
Cost | IDR 500 per class
Class times | Two classes daily, 8.30 am - 9.45 am / 5:00 pm - 6:15 pm

WHERE TO EAT IN UDAIPUR
JHEELS CAFE AND BAKERY
Somewhat of an institution in Udaipur, Jheels Cafe and Bakery is perfectly situated overlooking Lake Pichola, with great views from the rooftop sitting area.
Serving a range of western and Indian food (mostly western), Jheels is somewhere to escape the chaotic streets and to relax and enjoy the views.
On the food side, the pizzas looked great and were a hit with the locals, however, we settled for toasted sandwiches and salad (after weeks travelling India, we needed a salad!), which were both suitably fresh and tasty.
SAI PARATHA
Mark found Sai Paratha after notching a large line of locals waiting for food while out exploring during the cooler morning hours.
It turns out, you always gotta trust the locals.
Easily the best paratha he’s eaten in India, Sai’s is cooked fresh in front of your eyes, and comes with a serving of curd and mixed dal (i’m drooling just writing this).
Located just outside the main part of Udaipur, it’s well worth the effort to visit.
ROYAL REPAST
Popular among locals and tourists, Royal Repast serves classic local fare and decent prices.
Although the ambience is a little cliche, the food is the winner here - we recommend trying the maal mass, methi matar, ad the delicious ginger flavours of the paneer lababdar.
A little hard to find, it’s situated about a 20-minute walk north of the old town.
WHERE TO STAY IN UDAIPUR
HOTELS
TAJ LAKE PALACE (JAG NIWAS)
The Taj Lake Palace Hotel is one of the most iconic features of Udaipur’s landscape; an opulent, breathtakingly beautiful former palace located right in the middle of lake Pichola.
Built in 1747 as the pleasure palace of the Maharana, the Taj Lake Palace Hotel is the ultimate splurge during your Udaipur stay, with palatial rooms, breathtaking views of Udaipur, and an elegance and extravagance once reserved exclusively for royalty. Accommodation here doesn’t come cheap, but it’s absolutely worth it for the once-in-a-lifetime experience.

TREEBO TREND JHALAMAAN
We stayed at Treebo Trend Jhalamaan on our trip with GAdventures, where the rooms were large, comfortable and most importantly had air-conditioning - if you’ve travelled India before, well… you know!
Located just outside of town, it’s a great, mid-range option in Udaipur.
BOOK | TREEBO TREND JHALAMAAN
UDAI KOTHI
We were super excited to learn of Udai Kothi, a boutique property located right in the heart of town, next to Ambrai, because of its mission to employ and empower local women from nearby villages to enjoy some of the fruits of tourism in the region.
The hotel itself is immaculately designed in Mewar style, with the well-appointed rooms are very comfortable. The pool area is also a highlight, as is the rooftop overlooking City Palace and the Old Town.
BOOK | UDAI KOTHI
HOSTELS
GO STOPS UDAIPUR
Nestled in the heart of Udaipur within walking distance to all the major things to do in Udaipur, Go Stops is the best backpacker option while staying in Udaipur.

WHERE IS UDAIPUR?
Known as the ‘City of Lakes’, beautiful Udaipur is located in the southernmost part of Rajasthan, India’s largest state by area, and has a population of 422,784 making it the 6th biggest city in Rajasthan.
The historic capital of the kingdom of Mewar in the former Rajputana Agency, Udaipur was founded in 1558 by Maharana Udai Singh II.
Udaipur is situated right in the middle of India’s two largest cities, New Delhi and Mumbai, providing it with a strategic geographical advantage that assisted its rise as one of India’s most beautiful and prosperous cities.
Modern-day Udaipur is well connected to nearby cities and states and is easily accessible for those travelling through India.
WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO VISIT UDAIPUR?
The best time to visit Udaipur is in November, right in the middle of the ‘winter’ period which extends from September to March.
We visited during the peak summer temperates during late April, which we exceedingly hot and unpleasant, and a lot of tourist amenities were closed.
If you don’t want to suffer from the extreme heat as we did, we’d definitely recommend visiting during the winter season.
Do be warned though - the winter season is also peak tourism season, so expect large crowds.
HOW TO GET TO UDAIPUR, INDIA
Udaipur, like most Rajasthani cities, is well connected by train and bus.
Where you’re coming from will determine which form of transport you take, however, we’re massive advocates of train travel and would choose it every time if we could.

We actually travelled through India with the absolute legends at G Adventures (check out the Delhi to Kochi rail trip we did here).

It also gave us a taste of India’s highlights, from Delhi and Rajasthan down to Kochi in the south, with the perfect mix of tourist spots and off-beat locations.

HOW TO GET AROUND UDAIPUR
Udaipur is an easy and inexpensive city to get around if you’re staying close to the centre of town. Below we’ve listed a few options:
WALK
