Lake City: Udaipur

Few days back I got a text from a friend of mine that he’s going to Udaipur… I thought I should advise him not to go there in this summer, but before I text him my mind reached Udaipur…

Udaipur is known as ‘Lake City’ of Rajasthan since it has 4 lakes. The city takes us in to the period of Maharana Pratap. U constant feel being a part of that era, whether u r at ‘Saheliyo ki baadi’ or at ‘Jagmohan Temple’. Udaipur has a great combination of past & present. Here u can find something for u,doesn’t matter what ur choice is.

If u want to relax, there are plenty of gardens. U want to know about Indian history, check out ‘Chitaud Gadh’, a place which tells u many interesting tales about Indian History. And if u r a shopping freak like me, u have plenty of options… You can visit bapu bazaar for traditional Lehriya saris, visit Shilpagram to have a look at village life & u can also buy some hand made things from there.

Foodies, Lodsa option for u here. If u r not health conscious & love Junk food, do try Aloo tikki chat at bapu bazaar, I know u’ll fall in love with that…J

In short Udaipur is a must visit place. One of my favourites. The best time for the visit is Diwali period. The city comes to a festive mood in this duration, plus since Rajsthan is a "dry" state in sense of weather, winter is the best time for visit…

The begining:

કાકા કાલેલકરે લખ્યું છેઃ

"ભારત એટલે,પ્રુથ્વી પરનું એવું સ્થળ કે જ્યાં ઉત્તરે ધ્રુવ તારો અને દક્ષિણે અગત્સ્ય તારો બંને જોઈ શકાય..."

(Sorry can't translate these great word,but it means something like this:

India is a really unique place on earth,not only culturally or traditionally,but also geographically...)

So here I am going to talk about how I have enjoyed this uniqueness of India,in my wandering or "traveling" ...

Here you might get come across my "version" for the history of that place & if you r "lucky" you will also get to know about the delicious food and some places which are must visit for the foodies like me....:)
