Udaipur travel guide
Lake city of palaces — the most walkable romantic base in Rajasthan.
Udaipur is built around Lake Pichola, and almost everything worth seeing is on or above its shore. The old city is walkable, sunsets are the fixed point of every day, and two to three days is enough unless you are adding Kumbhalgarh or Ranakpur.
