📍 Destination Overview
Udaipur, the princely city of the Mewar dynasty in the Indian state of Rajasthan, is so lacustrine it is nicknamed the Venice of the East and City of Lakes. The most dazzling sight is the white marble Lake Palace floating on Lake Pichola, now a heritage lake-hotel, while the grand City Palace rises on the shore and looks out over the whole lake city. Born within a desert state, this water-born town blends white marble palaces, boat rides, monsoon hillsides and a rich history of the Maharanas.
