Romantic UDAIPUR

Night View of Lake Pichola 
I felt that if a person visits udaipur his journey will be incomplete if he doesn't visit lake pichola, that splendid experience it. The Night view gives glowing views of Taj Lake Palace and many other hotels around the lake. The chill breeze over the lake will make you fall in love with udaipur. In the morning the lake appears like a white foam, and the Taj Palace appears like a white pearl floating on the lake.

Night view of Hotel Lake Pichola
Udaipur is often mentioned as the most romantic city of india, vennis of the east and many other titles. I felt that the description is justified. Having a breakfast or dinner at a roof top restaurants which are very side of the lake will be a memorable experience.

Lake Pichola
City Palace: Get into the gates and forget for some in which part of the world you are, the palace premises are damn clean and picturesque. But a note for budget travellers udaipur is very expensive.
The combo ticket for city palace museum, cristal gallery, vintage car gallery, and the boat ride to jagmandir palace is Rs 1050/- 
But If we take the ticket for the city palace museum we can roam all around the city palace by foot.
The Palace visit is an enthralling experience. I felt that all theses rajput rulers have a very good taste for selection of place for their palace construction.

An Restaurant inside the palace
   If you are an budget traveller and like sarcastic jokes go through the food menu hung outside it, don't get surprised if you see Rs 150/- Beside the mineral water. If you have a heavy wallet you wont understand my grief. 
Bagore-Ki-haveli: Do not miss to visit this small haveli which is just beside the entrance lake pichola, a short walk from jagdish temple. This Haveli was one of the best restored havelis. 
This Haveli have a grand collection of Colourful puppets, thermocol models of world wonders, rajasthani Turban, it has probably the worlds biggest turban. 
It has a grand presentation of marriage procession (How marriage takes place) of Rajasthan (Many other parts of India ).

Painted Entrances in udaipur
We can observe these pattern of gate ways all over udaipur, some time they will an horse and elephant, sometimes soldiers, sometimes tigers on both sides. We can even observe graffiti on the walls. Infact we can see many art schools in udaipur.   

A Group of colourful Rajasthani women
Rajasthani's are literally colour lovers, you cant find a single dull shop in entire city, all the shops will be glittering with bright colours with the sarees and dresses.
