This Christmas, I embarked on a solo trip to explore Udaipur, popularly known as the City of Lakes. I had a whole four day itinerary planned out detailing out the places to visit, the shopping markets to explore, the restaurants to eat at. Prior to planning out the itinerary of the trip, I first looked at hotels in Udaipur near the railway station as that is how I planned to travel. Most of the hotels in that area were budget hotels and I was more inclined to experience the hospitality of luxury hotels in Udaipur. I ended up staying at the Trident Udaipur and the experience was indeed worth the price!
On the first day I started out with a boat ride on Lake Pichola starting at the City Palace. The ride then went on to Jagniwas Island, where the majestic Taj Lake Palace is situated. The evening ended with a heritage walk of the hotel.
In the night, I was all excited and headed to Ambrai, situated on Lake Pichola itself for an authentic Rajasthani dining experience. I reserved a lake side table and the night couldn’t have been any better with a delicious bottle of wine and a breath-taking view of the city.
The next day began with roaming the bustling streets of the city collecting trinkets, souvenirs and the famous ethnic shoes ‘jootis’. In the evening I embarked on an a adventure and booked a ride on the Mansapurna Karni Ropeway. This was truly a memorable experience, and I am glad I ended up going for it.
