Every hotel in Udaipur offers fine views with interiors mimicking the beauty outside. Comfortable furnishings, high tech facilities and amenities and warm friendly staff come as part of the package.
The placid blue waters of the lakes, reflect the ethereal white palaces and temples, beyond which shimmer the distant Aravalli Hills providing a breathtaking backdrop. This city has maintained a marvellous independence from outside influences and has fought bloody wars to repel the Turkish, Afghan, Tartar and Mongol invaders and only acquiesced in 1818 when the state grudgingly come under British rule.
Many of the city's most striking landmarks are located on the shores of Lake Pichola, including the City Palace and the Lake Palace imbuing it with the ambience of a 16th century stronghold. The benevolent Maharaj who resides at the city Palace is still treated like a king by his adoring subjects. This can be witnessed by attending the nearby temple at Eklinji on a Monday evening when the 76th ruler of one of the worlds' oldest surviving dynasties, joins his subjects to pay his respects to Shiva.
