2 Days · 1 NightUdaipur Sightseeing
City Palace, ghats & lakes + a folk dance & culture evening
1 / 11About this trip
Three days from one base in Udaipur. The city fills the first two days; the third runs east to Sanwariya Ji and Chittorgarh — the largest fort in India by area, and the seat of Mewar before Udaipur was founded.
You keep the same room throughout, so there is no re-packing. Private air-conditioned car, a local driver, and a schedule built around fort timings rather than around a clock.
Day-by-day itinerary
Day 1
Old City, Palace & Lake
Pick-up from your hotel in the morning. The first day stays close together — palace, lake and old-city museums — and ends with a ropeway for city views and an evening folk programme.
- City Palace — Rajasthan's largest palace complex, rising over Lake Pichola — courtyards, mirror-work rooms and museum galleries. Allow 1.5–2 hours; involves stairs and walking.
- Lake Pichola Boat Ride — A calm cruise past Jag Mandir island; best in soft afternoon light. Children love it — life jackets provided at the jetty.
- Bhartiya Lok Kala Mandal — A folk-arts museum famous for its kathputli (string-puppet) show — a quick, fun stop that works especially well for kids.
- Heritage & Heirloom — A shopping stop for Rajasthani arts and crafts — handicrafts, textiles, miniature paintings and keepsakes to take home. Easy, no-pressure browsing.
- Vintage Car Museum — The royal garage — classic Rolls-Royce, Cadillac and Mewar state cars, several still road-worthy.
- Karni Mata Ropeway — A short cable-car up Machla Magra hill for a sweeping view over Pichola, Fateh Sagar and the city skyline — great in the late-afternoon light.
- Evening — Folk Dance & Culture Programme — An exclusive evening show presented by Khushi Tours at RK Mall — live Rajasthani folk music and dance including Ghoomar, Bhavai (pot-balancing) and puppetry. A relaxed, seated finish to the day that families enjoy together.
Day 2
Lakes, Gardens & Memorials
After breakfast, an easy loop through the Fateh Sagar belt — gardens, the Pratap memorial and lakeside views — building to a sunset finish at Sajjangarh, the hilltop Monsoon Palace, before returning to your hotel.
- Pratap Smarak (Moti Magri) — A hilltop memorial to Maharana Pratap, with the bronze of the warrior on his horse Chetak and a clear view over Fateh Sagar.
- Saheliyon Ki Bari — The “Garden of the Maidens” — fountains, a lotus pool and marble pavilions. Shaded, flat and easy for elders and children.
- Fateh Sagar Lake & Nehru Park — A scenic lakeside drive, then a short boat across to Nehru Park, the island garden in the middle of the lake with a small play area.
- Sukhadia Circle — A quick stop around the big fountain circle — a good spot to stretch, with snacks and chaat nearby.
- Sajjangarh (Monsoon Palace) — The hilltop “Monsoon Palace” inside Sajjangarh Wildlife Sanctuary — the finest sunset view in Udaipur, looking out over all three lakes and the Aravalli hills.
Day 3
Sanwariya Ji & Chittorgarh
East on the Chittorgarh road: Sanwariya Ji first, then the largest fort in India by area. This is the longest driving day of the trip — around 230 km in all — so we start early.
- Sanwariya Ji Temple — The Krishna temple at Mandaphia, on the road to Chittorgarh — one of the busiest shrines in Mewar, behind a striking carved white façade.
- Chittorgarh Fort — The largest fort in India by area — a whole hill of palaces, temples and ruins. You drive up and move between the monuments by car. Allow 2–3 hours inside.
- Vijay Stambh — Rana Kumbha's nine-storey Tower of Victory, carved from base to crown. The internal stair is narrow and steep; the view from the foot is fine on its own.
- Rana Kumbha Palace & Padmini's Palace — The oldest ruins in the fort, and the lake pavilion tied to the Padmini legend. Gaumukh Kund and the Meera temple sit on the same loop.
- Return & drop — Back down the NH48 in the evening — around 2.5 hours — and on to your hotel, the railway station or the airport. Share your train or flight time and we'll start the day to match it.

- Day 3 is the longest drive of the trip — around 230 km in total to Chittorgarh and back. We start early, and the fort itself is toured by car, so the walking is manageable.
