Frequently asked questions

Should I stay at the Lake Palace?+
Yes if your budget allows — Lake Palace (Taj Hotels) is one of the world's most iconic hotel experiences. Built in 1746 by Maharana Jagat Singh II as royal summer residence, converted to hotel by Taj in 1971, 83 rooms in a white marble palace seemingly floating in Lake Pichola, accessible only by dedicated shuttle boat from City Palace Jetty (5 min crossing, magical). Rates: standard room €600-1,200/night, Royal suite €3,000-8,000/night. Book 3-6 months ahead for December-February. If budget too high, alternative: lunch or dine at Lake Palace as non-resident — free shuttle boat, meal €60-150/person, you experience it at reasonable cost. Book 1-2 days ahead. Dress: elegant (no shorts or flip-flops).
How many nights in Udaipur?+
2-3 nights minimum. 2 nights cover essentials: D1 City Palace + Lake Pichola sunset cruise + Bagore-ki-Haveli show, D2 Jag Mandir + Saheliyon-ki-Bari + Monsoon Palace. 3 nights add D3 excursion to Ranakpur Jain temple (2h away — one of India's most extraordinary Jain temples, 1,444 unique marble columns 15th century, 200 INR) or Kumbhalgarh Fort UNESCO (2h away, world's 2nd longest wall after Great Wall of China at 36 km, 600 INR). 4 nights allows combining both.
How to get to Udaipur?+
Domestic flight: recommended option, Maharana Pratap Airport (UDR) 22 km north-east of centre is well connected — Delhi-Udaipur 1h15 (€60-150, IndiGo, SpiceJet, Air India), Mumbai-Udaipur 1h30 (€60-130), Jaipur-Udaipur 1h (few direct flights, often Delhi stopover). Prepaid airport-centre taxi 600-1,000 INR (35 min). Private car with driver from Jaipur: 6-7h (400 km, 8,000-12,000 INR), classic extended Golden Triangle route. From Jodhpur: 5h (260 km). Train: Jaipur-Udaipur overnight train (9:45pm departure-7am arrival, AC 2-tier berth 700-1,200 INR), Delhi-Udaipur Mewar Express overnight train (12h, 800-1,500 INR).
Best photo spots in Udaipur?+
Several iconic spots. City Palace terraces (view of Lake Palace and Jag Mandir, ideal morning light 9-10am). Lake Pichola sunset cruise (4-5pm, Lake Palace view in golden light, iconic Udaipur image). Monsoon Palace Sajjangarh (944 m altitude, panoramic view of Udaipur + lakes + Aravalli hills at sunset — one of India's most beautiful views, plan taxi). Ambrai Ghat (east bank of Lake Pichola, iconic view of Lake Palace and City Palace at sunrise, free). Bagore-ki-Haveli (lake ghat, traditional atmosphere at sunset). For enthusiasts: Eklingji Temple (22 km north, important Shiva temple of Mewar maharanas) and Nathdwara (48 km north, very important Srinathji temple for Vaishnava Hindus).

Our verdict

Udaipur is probably India's most beautiful city and Rajasthan's quintessential romantic destination. The concentration of water palaces, beauty of the lake system framed by Aravalli hills, living heritage of the Mewar kingdom (world's longest continuous dynasty), exceptional hotel quality make it an essential stop. Our advice: 2-3 nights minimum. Itinerary: D1 City Palace + Jagdish Temple + Lake Pichola sunset cruise (signature experience) + Bagore-ki-Haveli dance show, D2 Lake Palace (lunch if not staying) + Jag Mandir + Saheliyon-ki-Bari + Monsoon Palace Sajjangarh panoramic sunset, D3 Ranakpur Jain temple excursion (2h drive) or Kumbhalgarh Fort UNESCO. Iconic hotels: Lake Palace (Taj, €600-1,200/night standard room, 3-6 month advance booking, absolute experience), Oberoi Udaivilas (€700-1,500/night, 50 rooms facing City Palace, regularly among world's best hotels by Travel + Leisure), Leela Palace Udaipur (€500-900/night, more accessible but luxurious). Modest budget: Jagat Niwas Palace (traditional lake haveli, €100-180/night) or Trident Udaipur (€180-300/night). Ideal period: mid-November to mid-March.
