“Udiapur is a magnificent city set in the midst of the Rajasthan desert on the banks of the Pichola Lake. The city is known for its rich cultural ethos and architectural brilliance. It is often tagged the City of Lakes and the Venice of the East. The rugged hills and shimmering lake provide a stunning backdrop to this magnificent city. The lake palace, (Jag Niwas) is a rare amalgam of architecture and culture and sits in the lake like a jewel in the crown.
The city never ceases to impress with its lofty forts, city palaces, museums, monuments and spate of cultural festivals. The lake palace has been accredited as being one of the most romantic venues across the globe. The architectural brilliance of the lofty Udaipur forts mesmerises the tourists with their grandeur. The imposing temples are a testimony to the spiritual essence of the city.
The tranquil and serene gardens that grace the city earn it another name- the Garden City of Rajasthan. Its amazing that these gardens flourish in the midst of this desert state. The Citys museums recreate the rich and romantic pageantry of the past.
Udaipur was founded in 1559 by Maharana Udai Singh. Legend has it that he was instructed by a holy man meditating on a nearby hill to build a city on that spot. Sheltered by the Aravali ranges, forests and lakes, it was better protected than Chittaurgarh. Maharana Udai Singh was succeeded on his demise by Maharana Pratap who fiercely defended Udaipur from the invading Mughuls. His most memorable achievement was the Battle of Haldighati fought in 1579 against the encroaching Mughul . Udaipur was persistently a victim to foreign onslaught till the British intervened and signed a treaty for the protection of Udaipur. After independence Udaipur has blossomed into a prime tourist location for curious travelers from across the world.
Plan an escapade into the heart of Rajasthan with the Maharajas’ Express and experience the splendor of this desert paradise. The Indian splendor and The Heritage of India are the two journeys that visit the enticing city of Udaipur. Soon after arrival, proceed for a boat ride on Lake Pichola followed by a visit to the City Palace and the Crystal gallery. This excursion will be followed by lunch at Satkar Hall of Fateh Prakash Palace. The passengers will return to the Maharajas’ Express for a relaxed afternoon. En- route they can visit a centre for Mughul Miniature Painting which is a distinctive art form of Udaipur. Alternatively, they can opt for the optional activity like the Spa service at a five star hotel.Let the Udaipur Maharajas’ Experience shape your sensibilities and transform your memories.”
