Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: City Palace of Udaipur, Jagdish Temple Rd City Palace Complex, Udaipur 313001 India

Meet your professional guide at the designated meeting point to begin your tour. Walk on to the ramp of the main gate to reach the grand Udaipur city palace. It was built over a period of nearly 400 years being contributed by several kings of the dynasty, starting by the Maharana Udai Singh II as the capital of the Sisodia rajput clan in 1553. The City Palace in Udaipur was built in a flamboyant style and is considered the largest of its type in Rajasthan, a fusion of the Rajasthani and Mughal architectural styles, and was built on a hill top that gives a panoramic view of the city and its surrounding.



Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Jagdish Temple, RJ State Highway 50, Udaipur 313001 India

Walk 150m north of the City Palace’s Badi Pol entrance through a steep, elephant-flanked flight of steps. This busy Indo-Aryan temple was built by Maharana Jagat Singh in 1651. The wonderfully carved main structure enshrines a black stone image of Vishnu as Jagannath, Lord of the Universe. There’s also a brass image of the Garuda (Vishnu’s man-bird vehicle) in a shrine facing the main structure.

Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Bagore Ki Haveli Museum, Haveli, Opp. Gangaur Ghat Near Hotel, Udaipur 313001 India

Visit the gracious 18th-century Bagor Ki Haveli, set on the water’s edge in the Gangaur Ghat area, was built by a Mewar prime minister and has since been carefully restored. There are 138 rooms set around courtyards, some arranged to evoke the period during which the house was inhabited, while others house cultural displays, including – intriguingly enough – the world’s biggest turban.

Lake Pichola, situated in Udaipur city in the Indian state of Rajasthan, is an artificial fresh water lake, created in the year 1362 AD, named after the nearby Picholi village.

Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Udaipur, Udaipur, Udaipur District, Rajasthan

Walk into the narrow streets of old city to see and understand the incomparable art. The miniature paintings are small in size, but they are extremely detailed and elaborate and this requires a high degree of skill and experience.

Walk back to starting point to end the tour with happy memories.
