About Udaipur: The Venice of the East
Nestled in the heart of Rajasthan, Udaipur stands as a testament to India’s royal past, with its magnificent palaces reflecting perfectly in the shimming waters of its pristine lakes. Our comprehensive Udaipur tour package brings you the very best of this enchanting city, where every street tells a story and every sunset paints the sky in hues you’ve never seen before.
The city’s rich history dates back to 1559, when Maharana Udai Singh II founded this jewel of Rajasthan. Today, Udaipur perfectly balances its historic charm with modern comforts, making it an ideal destination for British travellers seeking both luxury and authenticity in their Indian holiday experience.
Places to Visit on Your Udaipur Trip
Let me take you through the must-visit attractions that we’ve carefully included in our Udaipur tour package. The City Palace, a massive architectural marvel stretching along Lake Pichola’s eastern banks, serves as the perfect starting point. I’ll never forget my first glimpse of its ornate mirrored walls and intricate miniature paintings – it’s quite literally breathtaking.
The Lake Palace, seemingly floating on Lake Pichola’s crystal waters, now operates as one of the world’s most exclusive hotels. Even if you’re not staying there, our package includes a boat ride that offers stunning views of this architectural wonder. The Jag Mandir, another island palace, tells tales of royal refuge and grand celebrations through its magnificent architecture.
How to Reach Udaipur?
Getting to Udaipur from the UK is surprisingly straightforward. Most international flights connect through Delhi or Mumbai, followed by a short domestic flight to Udaipur’s Maharana Pratap Airport. We arrange comfortable airport transfers as part of our Udaipur tour package, ensuring your journey begins and ends smoothly.
Popular Udaipur Attractions
Beyond the famous palaces, Udaipur houses countless gems that we’ve incorporated into our tour package. The Saheliyon Ki Bari (Garden of the Maidens) offers a peaceful retreat with its lotus pools and marble pavilions. The Monsoon Palace, perched high above the city, provides panoramic views that will leave you spellbound, especially during sunset.
The Vintage Car Museum showcases the Maharanas’ magnificent automobile collection, including a 1939 Rolls-Royce Phantom used in James Bond’s Octopussy. Speaking of which, you’ll recognise numerous filming locations from this classic throughout the city.
Best Time to Visit Udaipur
From my extensive experience, October to March offers the most pleasant weather for exploring Udaipur. The temperature hovers between 12°C to 30°C – quite comfortable for British visitors. While summer (April to June) can be quite warm, the monsoon season (July to September) transforms the city into a lush paradise, though some outdoor activities might be limited.
Things to Do on Your Udaipur Tour
Our carefully curated package includes activities that go beyond traditional sightseeing. Take a cooking class to master the art of Rajasthani cuisine, enjoy a sunset boat ride on Lake Pichola, or witness the evening Bagore Ki Haveli folk dance performance. I particularly recommend the early morning heritage walk through the old city, where you’ll discover hidden temples and local artisans at work.
Best Honeymoon Destinations in Udaipur
For romantic souls, we’ve identified the most enchanting spots in Udaipur. The Ambrai Ghat offers spectacular views of the Lake Palace and City Palace, especially during sunset. The royal gardens of Dudh Talai provide intimate settings for couples, while a private dinner at Bada Mahal offers an unforgettable experience.

Shopping in Udaipur
Udaipur’s bazaars offer a shopping experience that’s worlds apart from British high streets.

Hathi Pol Bazaar specialises in Rajasthani textiles and leather goods, while Bada Bazaar is perfect for traditional handicrafts and souvenirs.
