Visitor's note about Udaipur
 I
have just one regret after visiting Udaipur, why
did I come here alone! It is such a romantic place
that I missed my girlfriend everywhere I went. The
views were romantic, the air was clean and the
atmosphere absolutely awesome! Here in Udaipur I
thoroughly enjoyed the emptiness, the vast expanse
of the hilly desert and the picturesque palaces. I
will definitely come here again, this time not
alone but with someone special!

A word about Udaipur
Famous for its blue water lakes, Udaipur is like
an oasis in the harsh desert terrain. The city
acquires its scenic beauty from the Aravalli.
There are three prominent lakes including Lake
Pichola, Udai Sagar and Fateh Sagar that make it a
hit tourist spot. Udaipur is also famous for its
huge City Palace, built and added to over the
centuries by several maharajas
PLACES OF INTEREST IN UDAIPUR
City Palace of Udaipur
 I
reached at this magnificent palace passing through
the colorful streets of Udaipur in a cab. The
palace was located on the shores of the
picturesque Lake Pichola, which was adding to its
beauty. I approached the palace through 'Elephant
Gate'. The palace had a maze of rooms, and
beautiful mosaics, and miniature paintings, which
Udaipur is also famous for.
Inside the palace there was a series of series of
courtyards, overlapping pavilions, terraces,
corridors and hanging gardens. And with a
well-stocked museum, the entire monument was just
impressive!
Udaipur Lake Palace
 The
taxi driver took me through scores of windy, hilly
streets till I reached the fantastic Lake Palace.
It's a beautiful white structure seemingly
floating in the middle of the lake. Now converted
into a luxury hotel, it was the former summer
residence of the royal family. All the luxuries of
the palace have been utilized to make it one of
the best hotels in the world.
Sahelion-ki-bari, Udaipur
My last destination in Udaipur, Sahelion-ki-bari
or the 'Garden of Maids' was a delight to explore.
During the days of yore, it was a summer garden
only for the royal women, with fountains that work
till this day using only gravity feed. Being an
engineer, I was impressed by this fact. The
waterworks took 25 years to complete for this
garden alone.
