Surrounded by beautiful Aravalli hills, Udaipur will throw all the royalty right on your face. It has lakes, hills, history, and palaces. You can learn about your history and can feel proud of them as well. While learning about royal rulers, you can also enjoy all the hospitality you can have, and don’t forget the great food. Here we are going to tell you how you can have a great trip to Udaipur.
The traveller who goes there first is likened to a man who begins his banquets with master-piece and is worried to find other dishes rather dull.
Prince of Wales – 1921
The above quote by his majesty is true to its core, you cannot find a greater solace than Udaipur. It is calm, peaceful and royal. So below is our travel story, or you can say our Udaipur travel blog.
We visited Udaipur in Febuary 2019, we started from New Delhi via train through Chetak Express, there are two trains that runs from Delhi to udaipur, which are precisely Mewar and Chetak Express.
Hop into any one of it and enjoy your train travel, alternatively, you can board a flight as well.
Udaipur Stay
As we were on budget and don’t want to spend much, we do not stay at very lavish hotels, but if you want to stay at one we suggest everyone for Udaivillas for its royalty and grandeur.
There are five lakes in Udaipur and Pichola is the most famous and the most crowded as well. Our Stay was facing Lake Fateh Sagar, you can have a room there for as low as 2k per night, and if you want to stay at a lake facing room be ready to shell around 4k per night. The food at the hotel was okayish but the sandwich on the “thela” just outside was awesome and so the “poha” for breakfast.
The “laal maas” is the specialty if you are into Non-Veg, it is a mutton stew with traditional Rajasthani spices. The dance of flavors in your mouth will make you cherish this food for decades. For Vegetarians, we have famous Daal Baati and unlimited thali options.
