Udaipur Travel Guide: 460 reviews and 1,448 photos
With its rolling hills and whimsical palaces, including one in the middle of a lake, Udaipur looks like it has been lifted straight from the pages of a fairy tale. Founded during the mid-16th century, this enigmatic city of lakes has been featured in countless magazines and films, and despite all the tourist hype, Udaipur has managed to retain a mystical, pristine charm.
- Pros:charming
