UDAIPUR

Udaipur, the city of sunrise, with green hills standing protectively around it and three gleaming lakes in the valley. The main lake, Pinchola, is dotted with islands and on one of them is the Jag Nivas Palace, now a hotel. The city palace where the Maharanas used to live is one of the largest palaces in Rajasthan. A little distance from it is "Sahelion-ki-Bari", the garden of the maidens. Udaipur is famous for its lacquered toys.
