to experience the charm of the most exotic destination of Rajasthan in most refined
lodging and cuisine at budgeted price.
 Rajasthan is famous for its vibrant trade and industry. It is rich in mineral resources
and a recent exploration also found large deposits of oil. Modern Rajasthan has some
of the best banking services and is well serviced by ATMs honouring all international
credit and debit cards.
 Rajasthan offers wide ranging accommodation, from single bed dormitories costing
USD 1 per night to some of the most elite and luxurious five-star deluxe hotels in the
world. Most of these five-star deluxe hotels are palaces and forts, once home to the
Rajasthan nobility. They offer a delightful experience with their regal lifestyle.

3.  Udaipur , also known as ‘The City of Lakes’ has a romance of setting unmatched in
Rajasthan and arguably in all India – snuggling beside tranquil Lake Pichola, with the
purple ridges of the Aravalli Range stretching away in every direction.
 Astonishing palaces, temples, havelis and countless narrow, crooked, timeless streets
add the human counterpoint to the city’s natural charms.

4.  Udaipur was founded in 1553 by Maharana Udai Singh II as the new capital of Mewar
Kingdom. It is located in the fertile, circular Girwa Valley to the southwest of Nagda,
which was the first capital of Mewar.
 Solar observatory in Lake Fateh Sagar is the only observatory in India located on an island
and has been made on the pattern of Big Bear Lake in Southern California.
 The ten-day Shilpgram Festival which starts from 21 Dec to 30 Dec pulls in a large number
of people interested in arts and crafts.
 For the visitor there's the serenity of boat rides on the lakes, the bustle and colour of
bazaars, a lively arts scene, the quaint old-world feel of its heritage hotels, tempting shops
and some lovely countryside to explore on wheels, feet or horseback.
 The beautiful City Palace and Sajjangarh (Monsoon Palace) add to the architectural beauty
and grandeur of the city. The city is also known for its profusion of zinc and marble.

6.  Picholi was the name of a village that lent its name to the lake. The islands of
Jagniwas and Jagmandir are housed in this lake. Along the eastern banks of the lake
lies the City Palace. A boat ride in the lake around sunset offers a breathtaking view of
the Lake and City Palace.

7.  Limpid and large, Lake Pichola reflects the grey-blue mountains on its mirror-like
surface.
 The lake is now 4km long and 3km wide, but remains shallow and dries up completely
during severe droughts. The City Palace complex, including the gardens at its southern
end, extends nearly 1km along the lake’s eastern shore.

8.  Fateh Sagar Lake is bordered by hills and woodlands, lies to the north of Lake Pichola.
This artificial lake is connected to Lake Pichola by a canal. The lake houses the
beautiful Nehru Island as well as an islet on which stands the Udaipur Solar
Observatory.
 It was inaugurated by the Duke of Connaught and was initially called Connaught
Bundh.

9.  Nehru Island, is popular with tourists; the second island has a public park and a
spectacular water-jet fountain; the third island is home to the Udaipur Solar
Observatory. All the islands can be visited by motorboats.
 The calm, blue surface of the lake set against the green mountains make Udaipur
India’s ‘second Kashmir’.

10.  The City Palace towers over Lake Pichola. The balconies, cupolas, and towers of the
palace give a wonderful view of the lake and the surrounding city. This complex
actually consists of four major and several minor palaces that collectively form the
magnificent City Palace. The main part of the palace is now preserved as a museum
displaying artefacts.

11.  Saheliyon-ki-Bari or the Garden of the Maidens was built by Maharana Sangram Singh
II as a garden for women, is a popular tourist destination. Along with a small museum,
it has several attractions such as marble elephants, fountains, kiosks and a lotus pool.

12.  As per the legends, the garden was designed by the king himself and he presented this
garden to his queen. Actually, the Queen was accompanied by 48 maids in her
marriage. To offer all of them pleasurable moments away from the political intrigues
of the court, this garden was made.
 This patterned garden used to be the popular relaxing spot of the royal ladies. The
queen with her maids and female companions used to come here for a stroll and
spend their time in leisure.

14.  Situated just outside Udaipur, this 19th-century palace is built on top of Bansdara
hills. Used as a monsoon palace and hunting lodge, its builder, Maharana Sajjan Singh,
originally planned to make it an astronomical center.
 The plan was cancelled with Maharana Sajjan Singh's premature death. It is still an
awe-inspiring sight on the Udaipur skyline and offers spectacular views of the city and
the areas around.
