Day 1: Drive from Ahmedabad to Udaipur via road and Sunset Boat Ride
Your tour starts in the morning when you leave from Ahmedabad to Udaipur by road. The drive is relaxed and scenic and takes about 5 to 6 hours depending on traffic. If you don't want to drive, trains and buses are also available, but driving gives you the flexibility to feel the landscape and take a break at will.
Upon your arrival in Udaipur, check in at your hotel and relax for a bit. Towards the end of the day, visit Lake Pichola, one of the city's most popular landmarks. A boat ride here is the perfect beginning to your Udaipur experience. The tranquil water, the sight of Lake Palace and Jag Mandir floating above the water, and the golden light reflected on the water create a very magical atmosphere. Enjoy the boat ride at sunset, then have dinner at one of the lake-facing restaurants and sleep peacefully.
Day 2: Seeing Royal Palaces, Ancient Temples, and Peaceful Gardens
Begin your day with a wholesome breakfast at your hotel and then move out to know the historical face of the city. Your day begins at the majestic City Palace, a sprawling complex filled with courtyards, balconies, royal apartments, and spectacular views. Getting a stroll through its richly decorated interiors will provide you with a real understanding of the lifestyle of the kings and queens.
Just next to it is the famous Jagdish Temple, a beautiful 17th-century Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu. The beauty of the intricate carvings, towering spire, and peaceful ambiance makes it a must-visit sight. After lunch, proceed to Saheliyon Ki Bari, or the Garden of the Maidens. Designed for the maharanis of Udaipur, this garden features stunning fountains, marble pavilions, and lotus pools.
End your day by walking around Fateh Sagar Lake. Locals and travelers alike visit here, and it's a serene place to sit, have tea, and watch the sunset. Go back to your hotel after that for dinner and some much-needed rest.
Day 3: Hilltop Views, Folk Art, and Cultural Performances
On your third day, following breakfast, visit Sajjangarh Fort, or the Monsoon Palace. Situated atop a hill, the fort offers a bird's-eye view of the city, lakes, and distant hills. Ideal for photography and offers a refreshing breeze even in sweltering summer. When you're in the city again, you can easily drop by the Vintage Car Museum, where an exhibit of vintage cars once owned by the royal family is displayed. A pleasant little detour for car or history enthusiasts.
Afternoon trip to Shilpgram, a village crafts and village arts complex outside Udaipur. This is where you get to see local craftsmen at work pottery being created, textiles being woven, or jewels being crafted by hand. It's also a great place for shopping and getting that one special souvenir not seen elsewhere.
In the evening, enjoy the Bagore Ki Haveli cultural show. Located just on the lake shore of Lake Pichola, this old haveli provides a rousing evening of Rajasthani dance, music, and anecdotes. The warmth of the performers and the local culture make for a pleasant experience to end your day. Eat nearby and return to your hotel afterward.
Day 4: Shopping in the Old Bazaars and Return to Ahmedabad
It’s the final day of your Udaipur trip, so take things slow. After breakfast, head to the old markets of Udaipur like Bada Bazaar, Hathi Pol, and Clock Tower Market. These colorful, busy streets are filled with handicrafts, miniature paintings, textiles, silver jewelry, and other local specialties. You’ll surely find something memorable to take back home.
After shopping and the last lakeside walk, checkout of your hotel and begin returning to Ahmedabad. You will be home by evening, not just with souvenirs, but with lovely memories of royal palaces, tranquil lakes, warm smiles, and a city that greets you with such warmth.
