Awarded the best tourist destination award in 2010, Udaipur is known as one of the most romantic cities of India and at times referred to as the ‘Kashmir of Rajasthan’.
Located in a valley and surrounded by 4 lakes, Udaipur has natural offerings with a grandeur multiplied by human effort, to make it one of the most enchanting and memorable tourist destinations. It justifies all names ever offered to its charm from ‘Jewel of Mewar’ to ‘Venice of the East’. Apart from Lakes, this beautiful historical city adorns itself with forts, palaces, temples and hills. And though the entire city’s architecture is flattering, the Lake palace hotel is something that offers the city a visual definition. The revered Nathdwara temple is about 60 km from Udaipur.
