The stunning lake that contrasts the verdant hills with the vivid blue-hued waters is the reason Udaipur is known as "The Second Kashmir."

The islands, only accessible by boat, are home to public parks and a solar observatory that is worth visiting.

The palace known as Jagmandir is situated on an island in Lake Pichola. Known by another name, "Lake Garden Palace," this building's construction started in 1620 and was finished around 1652. The palace was the summer retreat and party venue for the royal family. It's interesting to take into account that after rebelling against his father, Emperor Jahangir, Prince Khurram, who would later become Emperor Shah Jahan, found refuge here. Emperor Shah Jahan was so influenced by the Palace that he used it as the model for the Taj Mahal, one of the most amazing natural wonders of the world. Garden Courtyard, Gul Mahal, Darikhana, Bara Patharon ka Mahal, Kunwar Pada ka Mahal, and Zenana Mahal are some of its divisions. Another must-see while on your boat ride is this.
