2 Days · 1 NightUdaipur Sightseeing
City Palace, ghats & lakes + a folk dance & culture evening
1 / 10About this trip
Three days from a single hotel in Udaipur. You unpack once: the city fills the first two days, and the third goes north to the temples and the battlefield that made Mewar what it is — then back to the same room. No re-packing, no hotel changes, no wasted mornings.
You travel in a private air-conditioned car with a local driver who knows the darshan hours and the quiet moments to aim for. The pace is easy and the plan is flexible; everything from pick-up to drop is arranged for you.
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
Eklingji, Nathdwara & Haldighati
A full day north of the city, on the road the Mewar rulers took. Eklingji first, then Nathdwara for Shrinathji and the Statue of Belief, and Haldighati on the way back — around 150 km in total, broken into short hops.
- Eklingji Temple — The temple of Eklingji (Shiva), tutelary deity of Mewar — the Maharanas ruled as his diwan. Darshan runs to fixed hours with a long midday break, so we time the visit around it. Phones and cameras are left at the counter.
- Nathdwara — Shrinathji Temple — The great Pushtimarg shrine to Shrinathji, a form of Krishna, and one of the busiest temples in Rajasthan. Darshan opens in timed slots; expect a queue and a security check. Unhurried, but not a stop to rush.
- Statue of Belief — The 369-ft seated Shiva above Nathdwara — the tallest statue of Shiva in the world, with lifts up to viewing galleries. Spectacular, easy, and the stop children remember.
- Haldighati — The narrow pass where Maharana Pratap met the Mughal army in 1576. Chetak's cenotaph, the battlefield museum, and the yellow soil the place is named for.
- Return & drop — Back into Udaipur in the early evening and on to your hotel, the railway station or the airport. Share your train or flight time and we'll shape the day around it.

Good to know
- The order of stops may be adjusted for traffic, weather and monument timings — the route is planned for comfort, not a rigid clock.
- Several monuments and museums have fixed timings or weekly closures; boat rides, ropeways and temple darshan run to their own schedules. These are confirmed at the time of booking.
- 3-star and 4-star hotels and daily breakfast are included as standard. Lunches and dinners are not, unless listed under inclusions.
- Sajjangarh (Monsoon Palace) sits inside a wildlife sanctuary, so there is a sanctuary entry ticket; at busy times the last climb is by sanctuary shuttle rather than private car. We arrange this on the day.
- The evening Folk Dance & Culture Programme is our own show at RK Mall; show timing is shared with you the same day, as it can shift slightly by season.
- Eklingji and Nathdwara both close for a long midday break and admit visitors in timed darshan slots. Day 3 is built around those windows — it is the one day we cannot move freely.
- Phones, cameras and leather items are left outside at both temples. Modest dress is expected.
- Comfortable walking shoes are recommended; the City Palace and the ropeway involve stairs and some walking.
- Tell us your onward train, bus or flight timing and we will re-order the final day so nothing is rushed.

Common questions
Do we change hotels?
No. All three days run out of one hotel in Udaipur — the temple road is a day trip. You unpack once, which matters more than it sounds with children or elders.
Are there restrictions at the temples?
Yes. Eklingji and Nathdwara both close for a long midday break and admit visitors in timed darshan slots; phones, cameras and leather are left outside. Day 3 is built around those windows.
Can the itinerary be customised?
Yes — this is a starting point. Add a night, swap a stop, or extend the route. Tell us what you’d like and we’ll adjust the plan.
Are hotels included?
Yes. Hotels are included as standard, on twin-sharing basis, with daily breakfast. You choose the category at booking and we’ll show you options at different price points.
When is the best time to do this trip?
October to March has the most comfortable weather. The trip runs year-round; in summer we plan early starts to avoid the midday heat.
How do we confirm and pay?
Message us on WhatsApp with your dates and group size. We’ll share the plan and pricing privately and confirm with a small advance.
