Udaipur the City of Lakes

Known by many names including "City of Lakes," the "Venice of the East," and the "Kashmir of Rajasthan", Udaipur is set on a series of interconnected man-made Lakes. It is the most picturesque of the Indian cities that we have visited.


The local Maharajan once owned three palaces: a City Palace, a Lake Palace (now a hotel) and a Mountain Palace. We toured part of the City Palace, the old market and went on a boat trip to island with gardens.




Tomorrow we fly from Rajasthan, India’s largest state to Goa its smallest where we will be having some R&R.
