City Palace
Located on the shores of the Lake Pichola, the City Palace was
built by Udai Singh. The palace has three massive gates – the
Bari Pol, Hati Pol, and Tripolia. The palace is well
maintained and offers visitors a peek into a bygone era.
Bagor ki Haveli
Once the residence of the prime minister of Mewar, the Bagor
ki Haveli is a lavish mansion built in typically Rajasthani
style. More like a palace than a “haveli”, or mansion, Bagor
has over 100 rooms.
Shilpgram
A shopper’s paradise, Shipgram is a bazaar where local
artisans display and sell their wares. You can purchase items
crafted in wood, terracotta, and metal.
Lakes
The lakes are the lifeline of Udaipur. Apart from Pichola, the
other major lakes are Fateh Sagar, Rajsamand and Jaisamand.
All the lakes have been constructed by damming rivers and
harvesting rainwater. A system of canals link the lakes.
