Day 1: Arrival and The First Glimpse
As I arrived in Udaipur, the air smelled of history and fresh kachoris. The city greeted me with warm sunlight reflecting off the serene waters of lake Pichola. My first stop was the City Palace, a majestic blend of Rajasthani and Mughal architecture. Walking through its grand courtyards and ornate balconies, I could almost hear the whisper of the past echoing through its corridors.
Day 2: Of Lakes and Lanterns
I took an early morning boat ride on Lake Pichola watching the Jag Mandir and Lake Palace float like mirages was surreal. Later, I explored the Bagore ki Haveli Museum, which transported me straight into royal times with its preserved artifacts and colorful puppet collection.
As the sun dipped low, I climbed to the Sajjangarh Monsoon Palace for a panoramic sunset view — the entire city bathed in golden hues. That evening, I wandered the bustling markets of Hathi Pol and picked up handcrafted souvenirs and silver jewelry.
Day 3: A Taste of Tradition
My last day was all about indulging in flavors. From mouth-watering dal baati churma to creamy rabri, Udaipur’s street food was a delicious adventure in itself. I ended my journey with a calm walk by Fateh Sagar Lake, soaking in the stillness before heading back.
