Reaching Udaipur is not very difficult since it's connected well with all the metropolitan cities of India. You can reach this city either by air, bus or train.

Hotels - stay in luxury and within your budget


There are numerous hotels in Udaipur, from budget inns to luxurious palaces. If you are not ready to spend much on hotels, then there are options of budget hotels as well, where tariffs can start from Rs 300 and go up to Rs 3000. However, if you can afford, try to stay at Lake Palace hotel. It is a lifetime experience. Lake Palace is situated in the middle of Lake Picchhola, and there are rooms starting from Rs 15,000 a day. Since most of the foreign tourists plan to stay in this hotel, you can find excellent dining and wine options in this palace.

Apart from Lake Palace Hotel, there are other good hotels like The Jaiwana Haveli, which is situated on the eastern bank of Lake Picchhola.

Climate


Since Udaipur is part of the desert land of the State of Rajasthan, therefore be ready to experience harsh summers, when temperatures rise up to 45 degree Celsius. However, nights are still cooler than days due to desert effect. However, it is still recommended to plan your vacations during the winter time when you can enjoy the beauty of the city with pleasant weather.

Oberoi Udai Vilas and many world class hotels decorate Udaipur. For an average joe visiting the place, finding a decent adda is difficult. Is there affordable hotels in Udaipur?

This is an excellent read. Can you tell me is it affordable for middle class people to stay in any havelis in Udaipur?

Must say, Udaipur - the dream city in the middle of Pichola lake is the best place to visit. When I went there with my family a few days ago, initially it was really difficult to decide where to go, and what to do. Then we came to know about the Padharo Udaipur app, which helped us to easily explore various places in Udaipur. Using this app we also booked the tickets and guide for the City Palace. This guide helped us very much by explaining most of the local sight seeing places, and made our trip memorable. This app was really helpful throughout our trip, with its additional feature which helped us to select the hotels and restaurants as per budget.
Do checkout the Padharo Udaipur app, while you are visiting Udaipur.

Great article regarding the dream city of Udaipur in the middle of Pichola lake. I visited Udaipur in July and found that it is a very quite and serene city which gives the real essence of Rajasthani culture and food. The dal baati here was delicious, I have never tasted this kind of a dal recipe anywhere. Belonging to Calcutta which is a traditional city, I found Udaipur as the same.

Me and my husband didn't plan much about bookings and stuff but thanks to "padharo udaipur" App which helped us to book hotels and restaurants plus served 24*7 hrs service like where to visit first and all.

This topic is very well written and gives a feeling that I should have read this before. We recently went to Udaipur and it was an unforgettable experience. It was truly a dream city in the middle of lake Picholi. Those sunsets are awesome and royalty defined itself in every street and corner of the city. we attended many colorful events through the Padharo Udaipur App. To be added, Mewari cuisine / Rajasthani dishes were mouth watering .

Udaipur is really a beautiful city in the middle of Picholi lake. We went there few weeks ago & came back with lots and lots of memories. The lakes, the palaces and the views were awesome. Udaipur is a shopper's paradise and don't forget to try Hathi Pol Bazaar for miniature Rajasthani paintings, silver jewellery and printed fabric & much more.

We easily had our bookings through Padharo Udaipur app, whether it was a restaurant, hotel or any tours.

The article is excellent but it could have been perfect if there was a briefing about 'Pichola', the magnificent lake in the middle of which Udaipur is located.
