Udaipur
Known as the "City of Lakes," Udaipur is built around a chain of artificial lakes in the Aravalli hills, its whitewashed old city, ornate havelis, and the sprawling City Palace giving it a romantic, film-set quality unlike anywhere else in Rajasthan. Boats drift across Lake Pichola past the floating Jag Niwas palace, while narrow bazaar lanes climb toward temples and viewpoints over the water.
