As the legend goes, Udaipur was built with the vision that Maharana Udai Singh had when he met a holy man overlooking Lake Pichola who advised him to build this city. The Maharana Pratap Airport is the main airport and the city can be reached through road, rail and air. It was a kingdom ruled once by the Sisodia dynasty. Surely, this place is a true harbinger of Rajput glory being uber rich in historical past and culture.
The Pristine Lakes of Udaipur
Situated in a valley and surrounded by five major lakes, Udaipur is a land of enchantment. That is why the name “Venice of the East.” These five lakes include Lake Pichola, Fateh Sagar Lake, Udai Sagar Lake, Jaisamand Lake and Rajsamand Lake. They are a perfect backdrop to a romantic setting. A boat ride through the mesmerising waters of Lake Pichola will offer an altogether different experience. These picturesque lakes add more to Udaipur’s overall beauty. In fact, Pichola is one of the largest lakes of Udaipur.
In the north of Lake Pichola, we have the famous Fateh Sagar Lake which is the second artificial lake of Udaipur. You will see so many tourists crowding this lake to get the perfect shot. So many of the city’s museums, palaces and temples are located on the banks of these lakes which offer a marvellous view.
