The Udaipur City Palace is an example of the grandeur enjoyed by the rulers of Mewar ages ago, and it still looks just as magnificent. The City Palace of Udaipur features a mix of architectural styles and is located on the eastern bank of Lake Pichola. The palace is a blend of Rajasthani, European, Chinese and Mughal architecture, making it one of the most attractive features of Udaipur. The palace complex houses monuments such as the Monsoon Palace, Lake Palace, Jagdish Temple, Jag Mandir and Neemach Mata Temple. It is surrounded by the Aravalli Mountains, giving it a magnificent setting. Built entirely of marble and granite, it also features the beautiful appeal of marble work, mirrors, silverware, marquetry, murals and wall paintings.
Jagdish Temple is one of the renowned temples of Udaipur. Located in the City Palace complex of Udaipur, this temple is made in the Indo-Aryan architectural style. In 1651, it was built by Maharana Jagat Singh, who ruled Udaipur from 1628 to 1653. The temple is dedicated to Lord Vishnu (Laxmi Narayan), the preserver of the Universe. It is famous for being the largest temple in the city of Udaipur. The entrance gate of this temple can be located at a distance of 150 meters from the Bara Pol of the City Palace.
An artificial freshwater lake, created in 1362 AD, named after the nearby village of Picholi. The surrounding areas of the lake and several islands in the lake have been developed over the centuries with palaces, marble temples, family mansions and bathing ghats. The famous Lake Palace (now converted into a heritage hotel) is located in the middle of the lake. Two islands, Lake Palace and Jag Mandir, are located in Lake Pichola.
Fateh Sagar Lake is located in the city of Udaipur. It is an artificial lake named after Maharana Fateh Singh of Udaipur and Mewar, built in the northwest of Udaipur, north of Lake Pichola in the 1680s.
Built by Maharana Bhopal Singh. Saheliyon ki Bari means Garden of the Handmaids. This garden is in the northern part of the city and features fountains and kiosks, a lotus pond and marble elephants. Each water channel has a distinct sound, and the mixture of these sounds completes the ambiance of the place. There is also a small museum here. Sahelion Ki Bari was created for a group of 48 young women who accompanied a princess to Udaipur as part of her dowry.
Jag Mandir is a palace built on an island in Lake Pichola. It is also called the “Lake Garden Palace”. Jagmandir Island is an imposing structure which is flocked by a large number of tourists. Its construction is attributed to the Maharanas of the Sisodia Rajputs kingdom of Mewar.

We had a wonderful holiday in Rajasthan. Jagdish is a perfect guide. Pleasant, speaking perfect French and knowing Rajasthan as his pocket. These were great tours with lots of historical explanations about the monuments.
Excellent organization, great sightseeing, Jagdish knows his city and its history very well. Nice visit to city palace and in the city. Jagdish our guide is top, with a very good Frenchman and he is very friendly. Makes you want to come back.
Jagdish is a great guide, passionate about his work and speaks very good French. What a joy!! I highly recommend it because he knows Udaipur and all its secrets by heart. Thank you Jagdish 🙏🏼✨✨!
We returned from 15 days spent in Rajasthan organized by Jagdish it was perfect! Good advice, kindness, availability and humor. Jagdish speaks very good French and everything to make our trip unforgettable. We highly recommend it!
Jagdish accompanied us for 2 days to visit the city of Udaipur. It’s the first time we’ve been with a Guide, as we usually prefer to travel independently. But as it was the very first time we set foot in Rajasthan, we preferred to be with a local to better understand this city full of history. Honestly, I recommend his services with my eyes closed. He speaks very good French, he knows Udaipur, and more generally Rajasthan as his pocket. The communication was fluid, the visits went very well and we even had the opportunity to have dinner with his family (and it was delicious!) I'll leave you these coordinates below if it helps any of you: +919602226251 (whatsapp) I also know that he organizes tours throughout Rajasthan, Have a nice trip to India!
Very good organization. Guide who listens to us, great visits and always a little anecdote to tell us. Delighted with our stay
