Transparent and extensive, Lake Pichola mirrors the dark blue surrounding mountains on its mirror-like surface. It was extended by Maharana Udai Singh II, following his establishment of the city, by innundating Picholi town. The now submerged village of Picholi gives the lake its curent name. The lake, as it stands now, is 4km long and 3km wide, yet stays shallow and vanishes completely amid serious dry seasons. The City Palace complex, including the green enclosures at its southern end, expands about 1km along the lake's eastern shore.
Boats leave generally hourly from Rameshwar Ghat, inside the City Palace complex entry to which comes at a nominal rate of Rs 30. The boats make a stop at Jagmandir Island, where you can remain for whatever length of time that you like before taking any pontoon back. Take your own particular beverages and bites, however, as those sold on the island are extortionately costly. You can likewise take 25-minute vessel rides from Lal Ghat (Rs 250 per individual) for the duration of the day without the need to enter the City Palace complex. Whatever you do, make arrangements in advance to avoid unnecessary hassles.
Lake Pichola, though not unusual in this city of lakes nevertheless stands apart from the rest in its beauty and majesty.
Many tourists prefer to stay in a resort when they come to Udaipur. I would, on the other hand, suggest you to put in Udaipur at a hotel near Pichola lake.
