    This Rajasthani city is tourist magnet thanks to its serene lakes and beautiful palaces.

    Topping the list of must-see spots is the Udaipur City Palace, with its impeccably maintained gardens, luxurious halls and chambers.

    The Pichola and Fateh Sagar both offer a variety of attractions for tourists and the Saheliyon ki Badi has opulent gardens and fountains that are definitely worth a viewing.

    As with most Rajasthani cities and towns, there is plenty of shopping here. So if you’re looking for traditional arts, jewellery or clothing, Udaipur is just the place to go.

    The ‘Golden City’ has long been a tourist hotspot thanks to its royal history. The desert town boasts of the Jaisalmer Fort (that houses the Raj Mahal), a number of havelis, the most impressive being the Amar Sagar, Patwon-ki-Haveli and Nathmalji-ki-Haveli, and ornate Jain temples.
    Tourists can explore the Thar desert perched atop camels, visit the Desert National Park for a gander at the fauna, or the Akal Wood Fossil Park. Of course, there’s plenty of shopping to be done for traditional Rajasthani art, clothes and jewellery.

    Getting there: The town has its own railway station and is quite well connected with the major cities. Jodhpur is the closest airport, about 285 km away. Visitors can also get there by road; it is well connected and buses, taxis or rented cars are aplenty.
