If you are planning to experience a royal yet modern vacation, then you must book your Udaipur tour packages from Gorakhpur via the official website of Chetram holidays.
Upon entering Udaipur, you begin your tour visiting Ahar Cenotaphs, an ancient royal cremation place, which is in a small peaceful spot in the city of Udaipur. It is the location of dozens of cenotaphs that are designed in the shape of domes constructed of white stone which provides the place with a historic and peaceful atmosphere. You can feel your connection to the past of Udaipur as you pass through the arches and sculpted pillars that cannot be provided in the crowded tourist spots. Then you retire to your hotel later on, sleep and take a light evening stroll by the lakeside.
The second day is devoted to the more obscure hidden ghats of Udaipur where local life is easily found. You visit Gangaur Ghat, Nav Ghat and the less crowded Ambrai back lanes. Every ghat is a charm in itself: women with clothes, children with pigeons and slowly moving boats on the water. The image of old havelis in the Pichola lake is a beautiful view. You are able to sit on the steps and feel the cool breeze and also see normal life unfolding at your feet. This gradual quiet tour takes you through the very core of Udaipur.
Wake up and after having your breakfast visit Kailashpuri, the place with the gorgeous complex of Shri Eklingji temple. Even the old stone passages, the silver doors and the carved pillars make the place have a strong spiritual touch. A little further forward drive will lead you to Nagda Temple Ruins which is one of the most underestimated historical sites in Udaipur. A lot of the houses are demolished but the modulations on the walls left are remarkable. It is an idyllic setting with a small lake and hills encircling the place, which makes it look like it is forgotten that it exists. It is an ideal composition of history and nature.
Wake up and set to visit Jhar, a tribal village that is offbeat and is situated towards Aravalli foothills. In this case, you have an opportunity to visit the traditional mud houses, wall paintings, handmade tools and the everyday life of Bhil tribal people. The natural beauty of the village is crude, children run around, women occupy themselves by doing their traditional art, farmers are preparing their fields. You are able to visit a local family to have tea and listen to folk tales and how the country life is in balance with nature. This is an experience that provides a totally different face of Rajasthan as seen by many tourists.
After having your breakfast visit Nandeshwar Mahadev, a quiet Shiva temple compound with hardly any people. It is surrounded by a small stream of water, rocky tracks and vegetation that is used to provide a serene environment. You are able to have your feet in the flowing cool water, rest under trees, and have the quiet settings. The water and birding sounds provide it with the best refreshment. Once you have spent a relaxing afternoon here, you come back to Udaipur to have a quiet evening perhaps taking the traditional Rajasthani food as your dinner.
After having your breakfast, prepare to visit Ubeshwar Ji, an offbeat temple of beauty in hilly wavy Aravalli routes. The road itself is beautiful with the scenes of the valleys, green hills, and small villages. The temple is located at the summit and a natural pond is close to it where people rest and picnic. It is calm, breezy and cool. A short walk around the hill allows you to have views of a wide open country. It is an ideal place to do photography, meditate and forget the city noise and spend some hours there.
Day seven is devoted to the artisan lanes of Udaipur, which are also not so well-known. These small streets are crowded with miniature painters, copper-smiths, leather workers, old fashioned musicians and so forth. You can see artists paint tiny details on a canvas the size of a finger or you can see silver jewellery being worked by hand. The neighbourhood possesses an attractive old-world atmosphere of colourful doors, hewn windows and hospitable locals. It is also an excellent place to get some genuine handicrafts and learn the artistic background of Udaipur that has been shaping Udaipur since centuries.
Today you are going to a historical town of Rajsamand that is very silent, with a beautiful lake and marble dam. The Rajsamand Lake is an enormous and calm lake with white marble steps which lead down to the water. The inscriptions on the dam walls show historical and daily life scenes in ancient Rajasthan. The space is free, airy, and ideal to be sitting there calmly and enjoying the sun basking on the water. Small tea shops, ancient temples and a casual country feel also ensure that the town is not forgotten. And by evening you go back to Udaipur.
During your last day, you spend time looking at the Badi hill Viewpoint where you have a scenic farewell. It is a short but satisfying climb that provides an extensive panoramic view of Badi Lake encircled by hills. The top is eerie, combined with the cool morning breeze, which provides you with the best finish to your trip. Once your time is over enjoying the view, you get back to your hotel, pack your bags and start driving back to Gorakhpur with the memories of your lakes, temples, countryside and quiet offbeat places.
