Udaipur

Udaipur, India

Udaipur unfolds like a watercolor: pale palaces and ornate balconies floating on still lakes, framed by the low, scrubby sweep of the Aravalli hills.

Udaipur unfolds like a watercolor: pale palaces and ornate balconies floating on still lakes, framed by the low, scrubby sweep of the Aravalli hills.The city’s personality is unabashedly romantic — dawn boat rides on Lake Pichola, the marble silhouette of Jag Niwas rising from the water, and terrace cafés where the clink of chai cups accompanies long, lazy sunsets.
