Udaipur - The City of Lakes

 
In the harsh terrain of the hills and ravines of Aravalis, flourishes the city of lakes, Udaipur. One of the most romantic places in India, Udaipur is situated around the shimmering clear blue water lakes which whisper the mood of a bygone era.
 

The city was founded in 1567 by Maharana Udai Singh on the advice of a sage. Udaipur was last of the numerous Mewar capitals. It was in Udaipur that legendary Maharana Pratap was born.

 

The city acquires it's scenic beauty from the Aravalis. Three lakes - Pichola, Fateh Sagar and Udai Sagar makes it an Oasis in the desert. This city full of enchanting tales has a remarkable past, with episodes of heroism and splendor.
