Some of the famous tourist sites in Udaipur are listed below:
The shimmering granite and marble Lake Palace overlooks the aquamarine waters of the Lake Pichola. It is a harmonious arrangement of courtyards, pavilions, terraces, corridors, rooms, and hanging gardens. The eight marble porticos that mark the spot where the Mewar sovereigns were weighed in gold, the equivalent value of which was then distributed to the poor, make for interesting sight seeing.
Jag Niwas, the summer residence of the princes of Mewar, is today a magnificent luxury hotel. Jag Mandir, the other island palace has a marble dome and is made in red sandstone. It was a refuge for the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan when he was exiled after a quarrel with his father, Emperor Jahangir.
Several architectural and artistic highlights within the City Palace are the Mor Chowk, known for its stunning peacock mosaics and the Bhim Vilas Palace that has a series of lovely wall paintings.
Ahar, the ancient capital of the Sisodias lies about three kilometers from the town of Udaipur. It boasts of numerous chhatris or cenotaphs that commemorate Mewar's royalty.
Sajjangarh lies on a hilltop just outside Udaipur. It is a dramatic 18th century palace that gives a breathtaking view of the Mewar countryside. The palace was originally intended to be a five-story astronomical center, but was later abandoned and used as a monsoon palace and hunting lodge.
