Lake Pichola
Lake Pichola, which is surrounded by imposing mountains, magnificent forts, and opulent palaces, is a place of dreams. It is magical to watch the rising sun ignite the limpid blue sky.

One of the largest and oldest lakes in Udaipur, Pichola has four islands and is situated in the city’s centre. Boatrides on the lake are one of Udaipur’s unmissable experiences.
