OMG! Udaipur, India, is so beautiful it left me speechless.
Family, on this trip to India, I unlocked a super niche but breathtakingly beautiful place—Udaipur. No travel enthusiast should miss it!
Itinerary
Day 1: Arrive at Udaipur Airport in the morning, take a taxi to the hotel to check in. The hotel is near Lake Pichola. After dropping off your luggage and taking a short rest, walk to the City Palace, a landmark building in Udaipur. It is recommended to spend 3–4 hours here. The architecture blends Rajasthani and Mughal styles, creating a super atmospheric setting for photos.
Day 2: Take a taxi to Jagdish Temple in the morning, about a 20-minute drive. The temple's architecture is exquisite, with a strong religious atmosphere. Spend 1–2 hours here. Afterward, go to Lake Palace. Take a boat on Lake Pichola, about a 15-minute boat ride. The palace is like a dream palace, perfect for taking stunning photos. Spend 2–3 hours here.
Day 3: Go to Eklingji Temple in the morning, about a 40-minute taxi ride. This temple has a long history and unique architectural style. Spend 2–3 hours here. In the afternoon, return to the city center for a stroll and prepare for the return trip.
Highlights
City Palace: Grand in scale, with luxurious interior decoration, numerous exquisite murals and carvings are dazzling. Standing on the palace's viewing platform, you can overlook Lake Pichola and the entire city, which is very impressive.
Lake Palace: The white palace stands in the middle of Lake Pichola, as if from a fairy tale, especially at sunset, when the golden afterglow sprinkles on the palace, and the lake sparkles, it is breathtakingly beautiful.
Jagdish Temple: One of the most important Hindu temples in Udaipur, with a unique architectural style. Every day, devout believers come to worship, and you can truly feel the strong religious and cultural atmosphere.
Food Recommendations
Highly recommend Ambrai Restaurant, right on the shores of Lake Pichola. Their Butter Chicken is tender and juicy, and the rich curry sauce paired with soft naan is full of Indian flavor. You must try it! Also, the Indian roti is crispy and comes in various flavors, both sweet and savory.
Accommodation Experience
I stayed at Lake Pichola Hotel, which has an excellent location. You can see the beautiful scenery of Lake Pichola just by opening the window. The rooms are clean and tidy, decorated with Indian characteristics, and the beds are very comfortable. The front desk staff is warm and thoughtful, helping to book various itineraries. It offers great value for money.
Things to Note
You can buy tickets for the City Palace in advance on the official website to save queuing time. The weather in Udaipur is hot, so take sun protection measures, such as bringing sunscreen and a sun hat. Pay attention to your attire when entering temples and avoid wearing overly revealing clothing.
Udaipur is truly a place full of surprises, from its unique architecture and rich cultural atmosphere to its delicious food, it is unforgettable. I believe you will fall in love with it too. Plan your trip now!
