Udaipur, Rajasthan: plan a photo visit

Lake reflections and palace windows provide natural frames throughout Udaipur. Keep a palace visit and a slow lakeside walk at the centre of the plan.

Suggested time: two days. Open destination map

Key sights and photo ideas
  • City Palace — Look for carved windows, painted doors and views across the water.
  • Lake Pichola — Explore permitted shore viewpoints before choosing any boat excursion.
  • Jagdish Temple — Observe the carved exterior and current worship arrangements.
A suggested itinerary
  1. Day 1: visit City Palace, break for lunch and finish with a lakeside walk.

Travel and photography tips

Udaipur is referred to as the "Venice of the East", the "Most Romantic City of India" and the "Kashmir of Rajasthan" (a reference to Dal Lake) and not without reason. Tourists flock to this enchanting old & modern town in the heart of the Aravalli Mountains, which offers three interconnected lakes within the town - the Fateh Sagar Lake, the Lake Pichhola and the smaller Swaroop Sagar Lake; along with forts, palaces, temples, gardens, mountains and narrow lanes lines withdrawn with stalls, relives the reminisces of a heroic past, valor and chivalry.
