Lake Pichola brings together many of the views associated with Udaipur: the City Palace on its eastern bank, the island of Jagniwas and the island palace of Jag Mandir. Its name comes from the nearby village of Picholi.
What to look for
From the lakeside, notice how the palaces and old city meet the water. A boat journey offers another perspective on the islands and the City Palace. Keep time to enjoy the changing light rather than rushing between viewpoints.
Planning your visit
Combine the lake with a walk through the old city or a visit to City Palace. Confirm boat routes, departure points and operating conditions with the operator before buying a ticket. Bring water and sun protection, and keep the shoreline clean.
