The Rajasthani city of Udaipur, known as the Venice of the East, has several beautiful lakes within the city and a backdrop of the Aravail hills. Jag Niwas and Jag Mandir, islands
in Fateh Sagar lake, are the site of Udaipur Solar Observatory and Nehru Garden. Famous palaces include the magical Lake Palace in Pichola Lake, now a luxurious five-star hotel, and the vast City Palace on Pichola’s east bank, with its grad gates and elaborate buildings. Taxis, rickshaws and tongas are plentiful.
