Truly loved the palace, I visited the palace in early monsoon and fell in love with the place. The road to the palace and the view from the top is seriously amazing and worth going.
There was a soft drizzle of rain when I visited and it made everything look more beautiful ❤️
I tried banana cake and mixed fruit cake from the restaurant there and found it very delicious. It is costly compared to the market but the quality and flavour of the cake was worth it.

UDAIPUR , CITY OF LAKE'S ❤️❤️
#artshunting Gangaur Ghat or Gangori Ghat is a main ghat situated near the waterfront of Lake Pichola in Udaipur. It is situated near the Jagdish Chowk area. It is known for Bagore-ki-Haveli, a popular tourist destination of the city.
The Ghat's location is wonderful. The Ghat is well maintained but sometimes not that well lit and clean. The lanes are too narrow there and usually jam packed with people. Lots of street food available there mainly during the Gangour festival that takes place during Navaratri, i.e. in April.
Good place to roam and see the local culture. #spooktaculartrip #staycation

Amazing Udaipur
#travellerswonderland
You will see a lot of magic in Udaipur. There are elephants walking on the streets. The dogs next to you are very surprised when they see the giant beast. It looks very interesting.
There are various Indian temples everywhere in Udaipur, and the main gods worshiped are different. Every devout Hindu has his own god that he worships.
Indian couples take selfies at some scenic spots. Looking at their happy faces, they envy them, wish them well, and hope they will be together forever.
The tourism resources in Udaipur are so rich. There are different scenery every day. I really like it here.

Chandpole Bridge
#travellerswonderland
Chandpole Bridge is an important bridge located in the center of Udaipur. It will save a lot of time for vehicles to travel from one side of the lake to the other.
You will see many interesting scenes at Chandpole Bridge, such as cows nesting lazily on the bridge, which affects the passing vehicles, but no one drives them away. Cows are sacred animals in India. Indians respect cows and are very friendly to cows.
Indian women are very traditional and wear unique ethnic costumes, which shows their confidence in their own culture.
The surface of the lake is as calm as a mirror, and it is also like the mood of the people in Udaipur, peaceful. Udaipur is beautiful city

The night of Udaipur
#travellerswonderland
The night in Udaipur is still beautiful. You can't see the lake, but the lights on the big and beautiful buildings are lit up, making it hazy and dreamy, turning it into a new world. The hotels in Udaipur are all beautifully designed, like palaces, and the Indian designers are great.
In Udaipur at night, the Indian temples will sing songs. Although they are not understandable, they are very beautiful. There are more tourists in the commercial street, and everyone wants to enjoy Udaipur at night.
Bustling and beautiful Udaipur.

Walking in Udaipur
#travellerswonderland
India is a magical country. India still retains its traditional life and many phenomena are amazing.
Udaipur is the famous White City in India, a tourist city where you can also see many new things. Cows can lie down on the road at will without anyone driving them away. Indian women are driving a group of dwarfs. These dwarfs are an important means of transportation. They look very interesting and cute.
Indians are very tolerant of animals. Animals are not afraid of humans and live together with humans in this beautiful world, achieving harmony between humans and nature.
Walking around Udaipur is fun and happy

Gangaur Ghat
#travellerswonderland
Gangaur Ghat is one of the important attractions in Udaipur. You can see most of the lake landscape here, as well as the City Palace. There are many pigeons on the square, which is a beautiful picture.
I met a lovely Indian girl and took a photo album. She has a white dress, a smile as beautiful as a flower, a cute angel, maybe she is a big star.
The scenery here is beautiful, really suitable for taking pictures, beautiful places are always popular, beautiful Udaipur

Lake Pichola
#travellerswonderland
The most beautiful scenery in Udaipur is the scenery around Pichola, which is also the tourist center of Udaipur. The scenery here is absolutely beautiful.
But some people say there are snakes in the lake, but I have never encountered one, so just be careful. There are many shops by the lake, offering a variety of goods, as well as many professional, customized clothes, and the prices are super good. The craftsmanship of Indian tailors is excellent.
Udaipur is a beautiful city that deserves to be appreciated

The Indian Temple in Udaipur
#travellerswonderland
There is a Indian temple by the Udaipur lake. It is so big and majestic, like a building, and Indian believers inside are praying.
For foreign tourists, it is indeed very novel, and the rituals of devout believers are wonderful performances.
Udaipur has a lot of ecological protection, and there are a lot of monkeys. Some monkeys even go to people's houses to look for food, so you should take good care of your belongings.
Udaipur Lake is a tourist area and is very busy. The overall price is on the high side and hotels often cannot book rooms, so please plan ahead.

City Palace
#travellerswonderland
Udaipur is a famous tourist city. There are four color-themed cities in India. Udaipur is the white-themed city - the white city.
Udaipur is rich in tourism resources, and City Palace is a castle by the lake.
A ticket is required to visit, which is about 600 rupees. The palace is still very beautiful, and there are also many small museums with collections of various Indian characteristics, which are indeed very novel.
The palace is very big. It takes almost two hours to visit. You can overlook the lake from the palace, which is a beautiful scenery.
