If Rajasthan is on your mind, then Udaipur cannot me missed. Commonly referred as the Lake City, Udaipur city is famous for its lakes, palaces, forts, temples etc. This city is also very culturally rich wherein one can see a lot of festivals celebrated around the year.
Travel Period: October-March
City Palace: It is one of the opulent monuments of Udaipur which is built on Lake Pichola which gives a very beautiful view of the entire Lake. It is considered as a royal palace where the Maharanas lived and administered. Its architecture is a blend of medieval, European and Chinese style. It is built with marbles and granite. Inside it houses a very informative museum which showcases some finest elements of the Rajput culture.
Kumbalgarh Fort: It is one of the amazing and gigantic forts I have ever seen in India. Kumbalgarh Fort is included in the World Heritage site which has a wall which is 40 kms long and is considered as the longest after the Great Wall of China. The make of this monument is simply amazing and will make you wonder the efforts taken to built it during the Mughal Period.
Eklingji: Eklingji temple is one of the famous Hindu temples in Udaipur. It is also flocked by many tourists and worshipers every day. The architecture of this Shiva temple is simply amazing. Inside you can worship Lord Parvati, Lord Ganesha, Lord Saraswati and many other Gods. Spend sometime inside to seek some mental peace from the positivity all around.
Nathdwara, land of Shrinathji: The shrine of Lord Krishna is situated in a town called Nathdwara which is not so far from Udaipur city. Shrinathji is a from of Lord Shri Krishna and worshiped by Hindus and is considered a holy pilgrimage place for Vaishnavs.
TIP: It is advisable to take a tour guide or suggestion from the temple officials for the darshan as the que is quite big at times.
