Udaipur
City of lakes
Udaipur is a city in the Indian state of Rajasthan, known for its lakes, palaces, and historic architecture.
Often called the "City of Lakes" or the "Venice of the East," it was the capital of the Mewar kingdom and remains a major tourist destination: We spent a week in Udaipur exploring the Lake Palace and old town.
