Great Weekend Getaway in Udaipur

Finally made the Udaipur trip I mentioned about previously. I was extremely excited and looking forward to the getaway!

Lake Taj Palace Hotel is situated on Lake Pichola itself, so the hotel has a private jetty to transport their guests to and fro the hotel and the city. The jetty was very elegantly designed. It’s rather hot in Udaipur at this time of the year, so we did not want to sit out in the open. But I imagine it would be nice to just sit around and enjoy the view of the lake one cool days or in the evenings. So pretty that I can imagine having a small intimate wedding reception on the jetty itself, and then we could ride off on the boat into the sunset.

Here’s a picture of the Lake Taj Palace coming up, closer and closer, as our boat took us to the hotel.

And the City Palace behind us as we sped along.

When we got to the hotel, we were welcomed by a man holding out an intricately-designed umbrella, and rose petals falling from the sky. It was such an unforgettable, and very likely to be once in a lifetime, experience for us. A perfect way to celebrate our first wedding anniversary!
