Udaipur- A cultural getaway and the most beautiful sunset in Rajasthan.
We left the fort city of Jaisalmer with sweet memories and reached Udaipur which gave a different glimpse into the cultural heritage of Rajasthan. Udaipur welcomed us to the beautiful view of lake Pichola.
We had a beautiful experience while we visited some well-known (Sun set point, cultural evening at Bagore ki Haveli.
We went to some not so well-known (Manjhiran ka Ghat)The local kids were really friendly and came up to us to talk. We strongly suggest going here for beautiful views.
It was Awshesh’s birthday and we had dinner looking over Lake Pichola. There were fireworks in the sky as Diwali was also on the same day. We had awesome food at not so expected corners of Udaipur.
At the Bagore ki Haveli we bought tickets and watched a cultural program. We had read that this is really authentic and it lived up to its reputation. There were many dance forms presented from Kalbelia of the snake charmer tribe to the Ghoomar of the royal ladies.
