Tranquil Lake Pichola
The Lake Palace, set in the heart of Lake Pichola, encompasses all the romance of this beautiful city. Built in the 1700's, its walls are made of black and white marble and are adorned by semi-precious stones and ornamented niches. Gardens, fountains, pillared terraces and columns line its courtyards. Towering over the lake and the balconies, the cupolas and towers of the palace give a wonderful view of the lake and the surrounding city. Further afield, the Monsoon Palace is perched on the top of Bansdara Mountain; this hunting lodge is an iconic sight on the Udaipur skyline and a great vantage spot from which to view the city below.
