It depends on you whether you would like to visit the place over a weekend or would like to spend 4-5 days visiting the nearby cities as well.Udaipur has rich heritage culture and is tourist-friendly, hence anyone going comes back with happy memories. Personally, I visited Udaipur to celebrate New Year’s eve with friends, and to date remains memorable.
Travel mode:

Tips & Tricks: Rajasthan is hot during the day (spl. March-Sep) and cools at night being the desert area. Hence, in case you plan to visit in summers ensure to stay indoors during the day and plan for the outing in the evening. Always keep a water bottle, drink coconut water, lemonade or desi ganne ka juice (sugarcane juice) to stay hydrated.
Seriously, if you love to explore the local India and love exploring. Udaipur should be on your list, be it for food, heritage or nature.
Share your experiences.
