“City of Lakes-Udaipur”
Udaipur is popular for fantastical palaces, temples, havelis and countless narrow and colourful streets adding the human counterpoint to the city’s natural charms. If Jaipur is the pink city and Jodhpur is blue, Udaipur is the city of lakes. The elevated aravalli hills and the beautiful lakes make a picture-perfect backdrop to the Udaipur city.
