Udaipur is a surprise oasis in the southern reaches of the Thar Desert in Rajasthan, India’s landlocked (and largest) state. The city wraps around a sequence of artificial lakes with Lake Pichola being the most beautiful. Reflecting the Aravali Range in its shimmering waters, this lake and its floating palaces have established Udaipur as one of the most romantic destinations in Northern India. Add your name to the long list of travelers who lost their heart to Rajasthan’s City of Lakes at one of these Airbnbs in Udaipur near Lake Pichola.
The Old City of Udaipur sits on the eastern bank of Lake Pichola. This is where most of the landmarks and tourist points of interest are concentrated – including City Palace, Gangour Ghat, and Jagdish Temple. Haveli palaces give way to museums and performance art displays and the Udaipur City Railway Station sits in the east end.
Lake Pichola is the defining emblem of Udaipur. Boats ferry travelers around the small islands, Jag Niwas and Jag Mandir, where two palatial hotels are located. The Lake Garden Palace of Jag Mandir is open to day trippers whereas the Taj Lake Palace is exclusively for hotel guests.
Accommodation on the east bank of Lake Pichola is where to stay in Udaipur for a first-time visit. This puts you at the threshold of the Old City and close to the waterfront and train station. Bridging the gap between Lake Pichola and Fateh Sagar Lake, Ambamata is another of the best areas to stay in Udaipur. This hilly neighborhood is studded with luxury Airbnbs and hotels.
Widen the net and you can stay in village and farming communities on the western and southern shores of the lake. Hosts of these homestay-style Airbnbs welcome guests like family and support with cabs to and from the Udaipur Central Area.
