About Udaipur

Udaipur is known as the Venice of the east. It is also called the city of lakes and known as the Kashmir of Rajasthan since it is the most beautiful city of Rajasthan.

The city of Dawn, Udaipur is a lovely land around the azure water lake, hemmed in by the lush hills of the Aravallis. A vision in white drenched in romance and beauty, Udaipur is a fascinating blend of sights, sound and experiences and inspiration for the imagination of poets, painters and writers.

The city of lakes or Udaipur was established by Maharana Udai Singhji in 1559 A.D., after he was advised by a hermit to do so.

Udaipur is truly famous for its beautiful lakes and watercourses. Lakes make a perfect backdrop to the romantic setting of Udaipur.
