<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Enjoy the Sunset Boat Ride with Surreal Shades of skies</h3>



<p>Known as the Venice of the East, Udaipur is home to 7 artificial lakes created across the city. The best way to enjoy the beauty of the lakes is by taking a boat ride.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img src="https://theghumakkads.in/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/DSC_0297-1.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-1047"/><figcaption>City Palace at Dawn</figcaption></figure>



<p>Boating in the lake is open from morning 9.00 AM till <g class="gr_ gr_4 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Grammar only-ins replaceWithoutSep" id="4" data-gr-id="4">evening</g> at 6.00 PM, from the city palace. The best time to take the ride is around 5.00 PM, just before the sun is about to set, as you get the best shades of the skies during that time. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img src="https://theghumakkads.in/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Udaipur-7.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-1049"/><figcaption>A pretty Venice-esque bridge</figcaption></figure>



<p>The boat ride would make a pit stop at the gorgeous Jag Mandir, the recreational palace of the king, and is also known to be the inspiration of the wonder called Taj Mahal. Of late, the palace is gaining popularity as the most sought-after &#8220;Wedding Destination.&#8221; </p>

<p>From celebrities to industrialists to Hollywood stars, many have tied their Nuptial Knot at this very place. Besides this, Jag Mandir offers a marvellous view of the City Palace and Taj Lake Palace, shining brightly under the setting sun.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Get awed by the Grandeur of City Palace</h3>

<p>The City Palace of Udaipur is the largest palace of Rajasthan and 2nd largest Palace of India after Mysore Palace. The construction of this humongous palace was spread across 400 years and 21 generations of rulers.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img src="https://theghumakkads.in/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Udaipur-1-1.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-1059"/><figcaption>City Palace from Lake Pichola</figcaption></figure>



<p> However, most significant contributions to the <g class="gr_ gr_5 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Grammar only-ins replaceWithoutSep" id="5" data-gr-id="5">palace</g> can be credited to Maharana Jagatsingh II and Maharana Fatehsingh. The quarters within the palace are interlinked through a number of courtyards and corridors and are planned in a way to avoid surprise enemy attacks. </p>



<ul class="wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-5 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex"><li class="blocks-gallery-item"><figure><img src="https://theghumakkads.in/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Udaipur-13.jpg" alt="" data-id="1060" data-link="https://theghumakkads.in/?attachment_id=1060" class="wp-image-1060"/></figure></li><li class="blocks-gallery-item"><figure><img src="https://theghumakkads.in/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Udaipur-15.jpg" alt="" data-id="1064" data-link="https://theghumakkads.in/?attachment_id=1064" class="wp-image-1064"/></figure></li></ul>



<p>The palace offers a splendid view of the Lake Pichola on one side and Udaipur city on the other side through the beautiful and colourful windows. And the post-sunset view of the palace is worth dying for.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Witness the amazing sunset at Sajjangarh Palace</h3>



<p>Sitting on top of the hill, Sajjangarh Palace offers the best sunset view in Udaipur. Known as the Monsoon Palace, it was chiefly built to overlook the monsoon clouds and hence derived its name. The fort offers a <g class="gr_ gr_11 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Grammar only-ins doubleReplace replaceWithoutSep gr-progress" id="11" data-gr-id="11">panoramic</g> view of the city&#8217;s lakes, palaces and the countryside.</p>
