Udaipur is built around two lakes - Pichola and Fateh Sagar. Lake Pichola is home to the world famous Lake Palace Hotel. A second island on Lake Pichola contains Jag Mandir Palace. Around its shores are the enormous City Palace, the Udaivilas hotel and many other beautiful havelis and ghats (lakeside quays). The light in Udaipur is crystal clear and shooting on the lake in one of the local shikara boats is a stunning experience. Dawn or dusk gives the lake a rosy glow and the famous skyline looks magical.

Near by Delawara is a picture perfect Rajasthani village with houses of all colours and stunning stonework. Delawara is below Raas Devigarh fort one of the finest hotels in India. Like Jaipur, Udaipur is well served for flights to Delhi or Mumbai.
