Among the peaceful and picturesque places that you can visit as a visitor of Visakhapatnam is Udaipur. The city can be a relaxing escape to the bustling life between the royal palaces and serene lakes, antique forts and quaint off the best villages that fill the Aravalli hills. This 6 day tour is meant to take you to the popular spots as well as the lesser known spots of Udaipur that are not known to many travellers. Udaipur tour packages are available at Visakhapatnam through the official site of Chetram holidays and provide comfortable stay at hotels and easy travel arrangements.
Your trip starts with your arrival at Udaipur after Visakhapatnam and your accommodation in the hotel. Once you have calmed down, you go to Lake Pichola which is enchanted at night. You walk along the Gangaur Ghat and see the boats floating on the smooth water with the City Palace shining in the setting sun. This first day is enhanced by small cafes, vibrant ghats and colourful old city lanes. The harmonious sound of the wind, ringing bells of the temple, and slow beat of the lake make you ready for the trip to be beautiful.
The day starts with breakfast and then you start to explore the most symbolic place in Udaipur City Palace. You pass through decorated halls, mirrored walls, carved balconies, and royal courtyards which correspond to centuries long Mewar heritage. The lake and old city terrace view is memorable. The Jagdish Temple is right outside the palace and features stone carvings and spiritual ambiance in a detailed manner. Explore the antique markets of the city such as Hathipole and Chandpole later where your handmade diaries, miniature paintings, silver jewellery, and leather crafts are full of stores. The last day is concluded by dinner in a rooftop cafe with the views of the lake.
On this day, you get to the languid countryside of Udaipur. The first location to visit after breakfast is Bari Lake, which is one of the most tranquil water bodies in the vicinity of the city. It is also enclosed by hills, farms and open landscapes making it the ideal place to sit back and relax or make a leisurely stroll along the shore. You spend a few hours there and then climb up to Bahubali Hill, which is a short yet beautiful walk and brings a breathtaking view. At the summit you can see the lake as a silver mirror between the green mountains with light wind whistling over the valley. This is the off-beat experience that is refreshing and a good recluse to the city crowds. In the evening, you go back to Udaipur.
You wake up early in the morning and travel to the legendary Chittorgarh Fort which is a historic hill fort with great architecture and tales of heroism. With a push through the gateways so high, you experience the power of the long gone past of the fort. You visit sites like Rana Kumbha Palace, Padmini Palace, Gaumukh Kund and the high Vijay Stambh which dominates the terrain. The openways, ancient ruins, broad panoramic valley scenes make one see the daring and civilization of the Rajput kingdom. When you go back to Udaipur in the evening you have in your memory a moving and strong historic experience.
You move out after breakfast to Kelwara Village; it is a small village that is near the Aravalli hills. You pass through the small streets of villages, you watch mud-constructed houses and you look at the life of the families. The clean environment, air and a simple life are a refreshing experience. You spend some time here after which you proceed to Rayta Village where you stay in a desert-like camp. There are camel rides, light folk music, the warmth of the bonfire, and traditional Rajasthani dinner under the stars in the evening. The uninhabited desert landscape and dark sky make up an ideal last adventure.
On the final morning, you will have a leisurely breakfast and spend some time walking around the lake or market to have some last memories. Then you pack up and start making your way back to Visakhapatnam. The memories of lakes, forts, nature trails, village life, and desert nights all bring you a beautiful experience of all the things you did when you went to Udaipur that will never be forgotten.
