A two-day getaway for the Udaipur itinerary is not enough, it won’t fill your heart! So, let us plan your tour so that you know how to manage your time and explore this beautiful city of lakes to its fullest.
Our journey began at 5 am, and we reached the hotel around 1 pm. The distance is 6 hours, but we took a break for an hour in the Highway Midway Treat.
We traveled from Jaipur to Udaipur from our vehicle, but you can take the CC train- Jaipur Udaipur Intercity Express 12992 @14.30 or get to the city by air. Once you land, you have options like autos and cabs on rent to explore its top attractions.
As you know, Udaipur is famous for Lake Pichola, City Palace, Gangaur Ghat, lake Fateh Sagar, and Haldighati. These places take you back to the royalty of that era. However, a few attractions are unmissable such as Jagdish Temple, Karni Mata Temple, Sajjangarh Palace, Neemach Mata, Bagore Ki haveli, etc.
Any tour is incomplete without local delicacies, so Dal Bati Churma, Dabeli, Gatte ki sabzi, Pyaz ki Kachori, Dal Kachori, Laal Maas, and Malai Ghewar are sine qua non. After delicious food, you can head to local shopping areas like Hathi Pol Bazar, Clock Tower, Bada Bazaar, and Chetak Circle.
