You can also go for for a boat ride in Fateh Sagar lake in the evening. Please note that the ride will be available only till 6 PM.
Day 2
Explore the city of Udaipur today covering the following places in the morning.
The city palace can get very crowded, especially around holidays and weekends. So, it is advisable to go there early in the morning (reach before 9.30 AM) to avoid the crowds.
It is also advisable to book e-tickets beforehand to avoid standing in long queues. Along with the admission ticket, you can also take tickets for the following if needed:
1. Personal guide/ audio guide (if you decide to hire a guide on the premises, it will be more expensive)
2. Electric car (the climb to the palace is pretty steep, so it is advisable to get this unless you fancy a hike)
There is a lot to observe and absorb in the City Palace. Depending on the crowd, you will easily spend a minimum of 2 - 3 hours here.
Once you are done with City Palace, head down to the counter where you can purchase the boat ticket to Jag Mandir. Jag Mandir is situated in the middle of Lake Pichola. You can spend some time here enjoying the ambience and views. There are also restaurants here offering amazing views of Lake Pichola.
In the evening, head to Bagore ki Haveli for a spectacular Rajasthani folk dance and puppet show. The show timings are from 7 - 8 PM, but ensure that you arrive early to get the tickets as well as ensure good seats.
Post the show, enjoy the views from Ganguar ghat and have dinner from some of the famous restaurants nearby (list below).
Day 3
Arrange for a cab to take you to Kumbhalgarh Fort. Also known as the Great Wall of India, it is the second longest continuous wall in the world, spanning more than 30 km. Kumbalgarh is more than 2 hours ride from Udaipur, so make sure that you start early to avoid the crowd. Also make sure to wear comfortable shoes since there is a fair bit of walking involved.
On your way back, you may visit Sajjangarh Monsoon Palace to soak in the views from the top.
Day 4
Visit Saheliyon ki Bari in the morning and spend some quality time here clicking pictures.
Post this, head to the market and shop to your hearts content! :) You can purchase items such as fridge magnets, juttis, jewellery, Rajasthani dresses, etc. You must also try out Udaipur's famous Ghewar (sweet).
In the evening, you can take a stroll in the old town. Please note that cars cannot pass through the narrow lanes of the old town, so you will have to either walk or hire a two-wheeler or auto to explore this part. Visit some of the restaurants here (list below) as well as the Ambrai Ghat.
Day 5: Departure
Check out from your hotel post breakfast and proceed towards with lots of memories to be cherished for a lifetime!
Restaurant recommendations:
A trip to Udaipur is not complete without trying out some of the famous restaurants and sweet shops in the city. Please note that the seating capacity in these restaurants is very limited (especially if you want a lakeside table) and hence, waiting times can be as long as two hours!
Pro-tips:
1. If you don't want to splurge on grand resorts, you can stay in some of the budget hotels located in the old town. However, please note that some of these hotels may not be accessible for a car, so you will have to hire an auto to carry your luggage.
2. It is preferable to avoid the summer months since it can be extremely hot.
3. Many tourist places and restaurants will be extremely crowded, especially on holidays and weekends. So plan your day to accommodate this waiting time as well.
