Udaipur Walking Tour
Udaipur, India
Why Walk Udaipur
Udaipur captivates walkers with its lakeside setting and Rajput elegance. The City Palace, the largest palace complex in Rajasthan, stretches along Lake Pichola with a facade of balconies, towers, and cupolas. The Lake Palace, seemingly floating on the water, is one of the most photographed buildings in India. Walking the old town's narrow lanes reveals blue-painted houses, tiny Hindu temples, haveli courtyards, and artisan workshops selling miniature paintings, silver jewelry, and textiles. Jagdish Temple, an elaborately carved 17th-century Vishnu temple, anchors the old town. The rooftop restaurants overlooking the lake provide magical sunset viewing spots. Beyond the center, Saheliyon ki Bari (Garden of the Maidens) offers a peaceful strolling garden with fountains, and the hilly terrain around Sajjangarh Fort provides panoramic sunset views over the city's lakes.
