Udaipur travel guide & tour packages
Udaipur runs at a different pace from the rest of Rajasthan and most itineraries are better for putting it last rather than first. The lakes make it, and they also make the timing matter — Pichola in the late afternoon is the city at its best, and a boat out to Jag Mandir at that hour is worth more than another palace interior. Two nights is enough to see it. Three is what people wish they had booked, particularly couples, because the pleasure of Udaipur is largely in not hurrying through it.

Udaipur FAQs
Is Udaipur worth more than two nights?
For couples, usually yes. The city rewards slowness and there is enough within walking distance of the old city to fill a third day without driving anywhere.
Which lake-facing hotels are worth the premium?
It depends on which lake and which side. Ask us — some "lake view" rooms face a wall with water visible at an angle, and we will tell you which.
Can I combine Udaipur with Jaipur?
Yes, though it is a long drive of roughly six to seven hours. Many travellers fly one leg or break the journey at Chittorgarh or Pushkar.
