Udaipur Tour Packages

In the center of Rajasthan, a powerful city called Udaipur has been known for many years as the City of Lakes due to its rich history, awesome architecture, and tranquil environment. In case you’re planning a romantic escape, family vacation, or even an adventurous trip, our Udaipur tour packages have something for everyone. Therefore, let’s get into knowing more about why Udaipur is unforgettable.

The city’s history is as breathtaking as its landscapes. It was founded by Maharana Udai Singh II in 1559 to serve as the new capital of the Mewar kingdom after Chittorgarh was captured by Akbar the Great. The city is geographically located within the fertile Girwa valley, surrounded by the Aravalli range, which acts as a great barrier against invading forces. It is also situated on the shores of Lake Pichola. After centuries had passed, Udaipur managed to maintain its royal touch with palaces that stood as a testimony to its past glory.

Best places to visit in Udaipur

Udaipur prides itself on architectural spectacles you cannot find anywhere else, plus picturesque views unspoiled by any human activities, among others. These are some of the best places to visit in Udaipur:

City Palace of Udaipur: The City Palace of Udaipu complex is a fusion of Rajasthani and Mughal styles, featuring intricate mirror work, marble carvings and in-lay works; it overlooks Lake Pichola. The complex has more than some individual palaces, museums as well as gardens that have their own special appeals, such as Mor Chowk with peacock mosaics, Sheesh Mahal with mirrors and Amar Vilas, which is an attractive hanging garden. Having its proximity to the lake and city, the palace offers beautiful views thus attracting many tourists to this place.

Lake Pichola: Lake Pichola is one of the most picturesque tourist attractions in Udaipur since it was created in 1362 AD as an artificial freshwater lake. A boat ride on Lake Pichola provides stunning views of the City Palace, Jag Mandir and surrounding Aravalli Hills. They are surrounded by various islands such as Jag Niwas, where Lake Palace Hotel offers luxury stays and Jag Mandir, famous for its scenic gardens and marble structures.

Jagdish Temple: This three-storied temple exemplifies Indo-Aryan architecture at its best. These include carved pillars and sculpted ceilings, while spires are also there adorned with figures depicting dancers, elephants, musicians, among others. The architectural grandeur and spiritual environment of the temple make it one of the most popular tourist destinations in Udaipur.

Saheliyon Ki Bari: Sahelion-ki-Bari, also known as the ‘Garden of Maidens’, is a beautiful garden constructed by Maharana Sangram Singh for his queen and her companions. This garden on the bank of Fateh Sagar Lake is characterised by lush green lawns, marble pavilions, fountains and an attractive lotus pool. The main attractions in this park include bird fountains and rain fountains that mimic the sound of drizzles. 

Fateh Sagar Lake: Fateh Sagar Lake, which has been named after Maharana Fateh Singh, is well-known for boating sessions and picnics held there. Set amidst Aravalli hills, it provides picturesque viewpoints and tranquillity all around. There are three islands, including Nehru Park - the largest out of them all, which houses a garden with boat shaped restaurant along with a small zoo inside it. It also offers great sites when it comes to solar observation, thus making it one of the best Solar Observatories in Asia located on the lake itself. Boating through Fateh Sagar Lake is an invigorating experience and offers an opportunity to enjoy the natural scenery of Udaipur. 

Maharana Pratap Memorial: The memorial stands on Moti Magri (Pearl Hilltop), known by the name Maharana Pratap Memorial which honours legendary Rajput warrior Maharana Pratap, who used to rule here in the olden days. In remembrance of his courage, there is a statue cast out of bronze, which shows the great Ruler riding on his loyal horse, Chetak which symbolises his brave character. 

Vintage Car Museum: For car lovers, a visit to the Udaipur Vintage Car Museum is an absolute must. Inside this museum lie old model and classic cars which were owned by Maharanas of Mewar such as Rolls-Royces, Cadillacs or Mercedes-Benzes. In addition to that, there are some rare models like the 1934 Rolls-Royce Phantom used in the James Bond film “Octopussy.” This museum provides a unique opportunity to learn about the regal way of life as well as automobile history in India.
