Full description
Udaipur, once called the most romantic spot in all of India, is the city of Lakes. This tour covers the most important sites of the city, and ends with a serene sunset at Lake Pichola. Several locations were made famous in the the James Bond movie, Octopussy, filmed here in 1982.  Start your tour at Sajjangarh or the Monsoon Palace, an old dilapidated hunting lodge, perched atop a hillside. It offers fantastic views of the countryside, the Aravalli hills, and Fatehsagar Lake, the next stop on this tour. Step into the Maharaja’s lifestyle at Udaipur City Palace (Rajasthan’s largest palace). Some of these buildings date back 400 years. City Palace Museum has opulently decorated rooms, filled with artifacts and miniatures. Spend approximately two hours here, before heading to the Jagdish temple. Built in 1651, this serene marble temple with stone carvings is dedicated to an avatar of Lord Vishnu. Stop for lunch at a restaurant of your choice, or ask your guide for recommendations (lunch at own expense). Take a relaxing stroll around the lotus pools and fountains at Saheliyon ki Bari. As the day comes to an end, watch the sunset from Lake Pichola. The evening light makes for perfect photo opportunities. You can also choose an optional boat ride for a pleasant end to your full day tour. At the end of the activity, your driver will drop you back to either your hotel, the airport, or railway station in Udaipur.

Abhi was a brilliant guide, who was very knowledgeable and went above and beyond to make our experience special. The full day exploring Udaipur flew by - you visit so many places but at a manageable pace, so it's perfect for anyone wanting to see the city's best bits while on a short visit, without exhausting themselves. It's the perfect tour to explore Udaipur.

Our trip was excellent and well organized. Our guide ,Nitin, was knowledgeable and explained well about the history and monuments. He was patient in both explaining the history and taking the photos for memory. We really enjoyed sightseeing and would recommend this tour.

Dans un premier temps très bon guide avec beaucoup de connaissances et très ouverts à toutes discussions. Par contre j’avais cette excursion pour le palais des moussons que je n’avais jamais vu. Il me dit que ce n’est pas au programme donc je luis montres et il dit ok mais sans façon. Dans le programme on nous dit pas de shopping. Et bien on nous propose deux arrêts. Pas de bouteilles d’eau dans la voiture.
