Udaipur the city where I had been living for about one and a half years and trust me its an amazing place if you like exploring. It is justified to called Udaipur as the City of Lake because there are three bigger lakes you can find within the city radius they are: Fateh Sagar Lake, Pichola Lake, and Badi Lake. The other three which are outside the city they are Udai Sagar (which 28km from City Palace), Rajsamand Lake (which is 64km) and Jaisamand lake (which is 56km). Also, some of the lakes are man-made lakes. I happened to visit all lake except Rajsamand and Jaisamand Lake. Udaipur is also called the "Venice of the East" by the tourist coming from the west.
So here I am Sharing some of the pictures of Udaipur which I happen to Capture while exploring.
Udaipur Railway Station |
A story should start with its name on a board.
View of Fatehsagar Lake

In the above photo, you can see the two big lakes they are Fateh Sagar and the other one at the back Pichola Lake. In the middle of the Fatehsagar lake, you can the Udaipur Solar Observatory followed by Nehru Garden. Nehru Garden is open for the public you can visit the place by riding on the boat. At the back, you see many hills these are the Aravalli hill range. Udaipur is surrounded by Aravalli hills.

So apart from Lakes below are the other places that you can explore when you are in Udaipur City.
- City Palace (Where you will know more about the Mewar Kingdom and its History)
- Jagdish Mandir A.K.A Jagdish Temple (You will be amazed to see the temple carving.)
- Saheliyon Ki Bari (photogenic, basically a garden where you can see lotus in a pond, stone elephant statue, fountain and many more)
- Bagore ki Haveli ( near Pichola lake at Gangori Ghat where you can see Mewari culture and during evening time there is some music and dance shows)
- Gulab Bag and Vintage Car Museum (they both are near opposite to each other. At Vintage Care Museum you can see a variety of classic and vintage care which are rarely found.)
- Monsoon Palace (also called Sajjangarh and near to it there is a biological park where zoo animals are kept)
- Maharana Pratap Museum.
If you don't have a drone but still you wanted to capture the city view from top then I would suggest you do visit below places.
