Lake Pichola, the Indian version of breathtaking Lake Como, ebbs out from the western walls of Udaipur to the far banks of the green hills that encircle the city, giving the town a romantic and magical ambiance. Created in 1362 AD, the fresh water lake has four islands – two of which have palaces on them. The Lake Palace, now a luxury hotel, was once the summer palace of the royal dynasty and Jag Mandir, known as the "Lake Garden Palace” offers an ancient and leafy landmark to fix your camera lens on. Secure your spot on the rooftop of your lakeside hotel for a shimmering sunset every evening.
