Udaipur is a beautiful Indian city nestled in Rajasthan’s Aravalli Range, nicknamed as the Venice of the East due to being surrounded by stunning manmade lakes and picture-perfect settings. The lakes near Udaipur are popular tourist attractions which offer the most wonderful boat rides and tours. Lake Pichola is a notable spot, stretching for around 2.5 miles with a backdrop of majestic palaces and lush green hills, as is Lake Fatehsagar which is connected to Lake Pichola via a canal and surrounded by verdant hills with dazzling blue waters. A boat ride at either of these lakes makes for amazing photo opportunities, especially at sunrise or sunset. Udaipur is also home to lush gardens and parks, temples, bazaars, art galleries and traditional markets, and it hosts lots of fun festivals and events throughout the year which feature music and dance performances, cultural activities, sacred rituals and lip-smacking Rajasthani cuisines.
