UDAIPUR : Often referred to as the ‘Venice of the East’, Udaipur is located around azure water lakes and is hemmed in by lush green hills of Aravalli mountains in the Indian state of Rajasthan. The city was founded in 1553 by Maharana Udai Singh II as the new capital of Mewar Kingdom. It is located in the fertile, circular Girwa Valley to the southwest of Nagda, which was the first capital of Mewar.

Udaipur is also home to the Jaisamand Lake, claimed to be the second largest man-made sweet water lake in Asia. The beautiful City Palace and Sajjangarh (Monsoon Palace) add to the architectural beauty and grandeur of the city. The famous Lake Palace, located in the middle of Lake Pichola is one of the most beautiful sights of the city. Packed with historic attractions, completely exploring Udaipur takes some time, but is really worth it.

One can also visit the village of Jawai Bera from this city, and witness a village where leopards and humans beautifully coexist against the picturesque backdrops of a rocky landscape.
