..so one fine evening,I was having my chai (sounds good than Tea huh?) and came across some travel photos on Insta and immediately I made my mind to go somewhere. I work in Ahemedabad(basically I am from Mumbai) and first city that came into my mind was Udaipur,because it's near to A'bad and can be cover in couple of days.
So I did bit of a research and booked tickets and made reservation in hostel(my brother came with me, he just swooped into my supposed to solo trip :)) .We took early morning bus from A'bad to Udaipur,reached there by 1.15pm and checked into our hostel.
We checked into whereabout hostel and after getting freshen up we went to explore the city.
This hostel is in center spot,you will find many famous places in walkable distance.First we went to Jagdish temple. The temple gives you chills with its architecture.
afterwards we went to explore the famous City Palace.
The palace was built over a period of 400 years and architecture is amazing.You will find lots of room's, you can't even count.You can take guide from palace so he will tell you history behind all those things properly.
You will find VATIKA on the top floor of palace and one thing i liked was all the structure build around trees without cutting them.You may find lots of old trees.
after city palace tour we went to gangaur ghat. The Taj lake palace was right there in the middle of the lake standing..or should i say floating steady :)
At the end of the day we went to Bagore ki Haveli. We watched darohar cultural show around 8 pm there, it was perfect 60 min we spent there, learned about Rajasthani culture,dance forms and etc.Personally I loved puppet dance segment. The way he made puppet dance with that ease,he earned lots of claps there????.
So on day 2 after finishing breakfast we rented one bike that was activa for 300 rs for whole day, you have to return it by 8pm(and that's the rule everywhere).
We took bike and went straight to Fateh Sagar lake.I think this is the coolest place in udaipur. Maharana pratap museum is also there. We took speed boat ride(2 min ride) in lake that cost us 440 rs for 2 people.
and then we went to Saheliyon ki Baari. It is cool place where you can go and sit somewhere peacefully.
afterwards we went to animal aid in Badi village. There lots of street animals which became injured by some accidents or abandoned by owners are there. You will find cows,chicken,dogs,cats,donkeys and what not. All the volunteers there are such a amazing peoples and one things i liked was all the animals and birds have their story about how he or she came there. And they have a name,how cool is that?
after animal aid our next stop was supposed to Badi lake but suddenly rain started and it had no intention to stop. So somehow we reached again our hostel, had to change because of rain and then just before sunset we took risk and decided to go to Sajjangarh fort to see monsoon palace and sunset.Somehow we reached on time to saw that big source of a light goes down under those mountains! It was marvelous.
after Sajjangarh fort we return the bike explore local market and had dinner on lakeside rooftop restaurant( almost all lake side restaurant are rooftop).
so on third day we went for local shopping, dont miss Ghevar(it's a Rajasthani sweet) and left for our home.
