Udaipur is my favorite city in Rajasthan. It is why known as Venice of the East. This city of lakes has so many fascinating spots you experience intricate architecture, beautiful lakes, profound history, vibrant tradition, and picturesque landscape.
An enchanting setting surrounded by lush green Aravalli hills and the Thar desert separates the city from the rest of the world.

What if we told you that some hidden gems of the city are just as beautiful as their famous counterparts?
Udaipur is not a big city, but you have several options to spend your itinerary trip. A three-day Udaipur trip is enough to explore the place. After spending a hectic day around the city, you have a lot of eateries around for relaxing and fueling yourself.
