Udaipur is consistently voted one of the most romantic cities in the world. Set among the Aravalli Hills with multiple lakes reflecting the glow of palaces at dusk, it is the kind of city that makes you instinctively reach for your partner hand.
The Palace Experiences
City Palace: The grandest palace complex in Rajasthan. A guided tour takes 2 to 3 hours. The view of Lake Pichola from the palace balcony is breathtaking.
Lake Palace Hotel: Floating on Lake Pichola, this all-white marble palace is one of India most iconic luxury hotels. Take the ferry across for evening drinks at the bar or dinner at Jharokha restaurant.
Lake Pichola Sunset Cruise
The one-hour sunset boat cruise on Lake Pichola is a non-negotiable experience. As the sun dips behind the Aravalli Hills, the City Palace, Jag Mandir, and Lake Palace turn golden, utterly magical for couples.
Romantic Dining
- Ambrai Restaurant: Right on the lake edge, facing the Lake Palace and City Palace. Book the table at the water edge.
- Savage Garden: A rooftop garden restaurant with fairy lights and exceptional wood-fired pizzas.
- Upre Restaurant: Refined Rajasthani cuisine with a sweeping lake view from the upper floor terrace.
