Udaipur is graced by the pretty lakes like Pichola and Fateh Sagar, and Rajput-era palaces. Best of all are the islands in these lakes upon which such palaces are built. Get a taste of luxury, living like a majaraja in a HotelTravel.com-booked room.
Hotels and resort accommodation is plentiful and no matter what your choice in sightseeing possibilities Udaipur has more than enough to satisfy most tourist needs.
Udaipur is one of India’s glorious gems in an otherwise battle scarred and desert filled state. The city is an inspiration for many, drawing poets, painters and artists of all kinds. Not only is the city home of the respected Indian royalty, the Rajput, but the people proudly proclaim to be the descendants of Lord Rama.
Pending you plan your trip well and cater to your children’s interests as much as possible, there is endless joy to be had from a family trip to Udaipur. Make sure to bring plenty to occupy the little ones on long journeys, such as colouring books and pencils, board games and other interesting activities. Udaipur has a number of options upon arrival to be enjoyed by the entire family, most of which will delight even the youngest of travellers.
Festivals are a common feature on the Udaipur events calendar. In addition to the religious festivals that are celebrated across the country, the city has a number of its own gatherings that are not celebrated elsewhere in India. Many of the festivals celebrated take place according to the moon’s activity, meaning that they do not occur at the same time each year. Visitors are advised to check with local tourist agencies and hotel information desks for exact dates of festivals that you may be interested in partaking in.
Udaipur’s rich historical background has left in its path a wealth of monuments, including religious buildings and palaces. Much of the area’s past is documented in various museums, while you and your family will be provided with spectacular and sometimes surreal locations for sightseeing in many areas.
Udaipur’s Dabok Airport, also known as Maharana Pratap Airport, is located approximately 25kms from the city centre and offers connections to many of India’s major airports. Regular flights connect the city to Aurangabad, Delhi, Jaipur, Jodhpur and Mumbai. The majority of international flights arrive at either Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi or Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport. Connecting flights from either of these locations can be booked easily.
