Explore the magnificent City Palace, wander through the historic streets of the old city and enjoy views over Lake Pichola. A boat ride on the lake is a wonderful way to experience Udaipur, particularly around sunset.

Explore Mehrangarh Fort and discover its palaces, courtyards, museums and impressive collections. Afterwards, wander through the blue-painted lanes of the old city and visit the lively markets around Clock Tower and Sardar Market.

Jodhpur is also a great place to experience traditional Rajasthani food, handicrafts and the everyday rhythm of life in an old desert city.
