Lake Palace, Udaipur
The famous Lake Palace of Udaipur, now a luxury hotel, resonates with the royal grandeur and magnificence that Rajasthan stands for. If visiting Udaipur, the Lake Palace is a must on the itinerary.

The Jag Niwas, as the palace was named, was once the architectural muse for the Maharani of Udaipur, served as the summer palace to the Mewar dynasty. The Maharana of Jaipur, along with his devoted affection for Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan also let the friendship reap an inspiration for this palace, from the incomparable architectural prowess buildings in Agra.

About the Palace
The Lake Palace has a series of courtyards that are aligned with numerous columns, terraces, beautiful fountains and well laid gardens.

The east facing palace was made in such a manner that the inhabitants could pray to the Sun God early in the morning. With its vantage position in the middle of the lake, it also served as a cool haven in the summers. Till date, the palace exhibits a grand impression with its exquisite patterns, sculptures, large columns and ornamental roof.

The inaccessibility with the vast Lake Pichola spread about it, adds to the charm of the structure.

Even though Udaipur is known as the City of Lakes, with five prominent lakes in the city, the Lake Palace has made the Pichola Lake the most famous destination. The other lakes to see are Fateh Sagar Lake, Rangsagar Lake, Swaroopsagar Lake and Dudh Talai Lake.

In the beginning of the 19th century, the weathered condition of the Lake Palace and the ardous upkeep began to show. This was true not only for this structure but the other lake based buildings too. This is when the palace went under a restoration process to bring back its former glory.

Lake Palace is now a luxury hotel, part of the Taj Hotels chain, consisting of 83 rooms and suites.

Sightseeing
Non-guests are able to sometimes experience the magic of the palace during the quieter season when the hotel sometimes accepts outside reservations for lunch and dinner. The best way to get close to appreciate it’s glory is with a boat ride on Lake Pichola, a fantastic experience in itself. Boat rides depart hourly from Rameshwar Chat in the City Palace Gardens (adult/child Rs.200/100 or 30 minutues or Rs.300/150 for 1 hour). Please note prices are given as a guide only and are liable to change.

How to get there
Udaipur is well connected from the capital city of Delhi by train and flights. The airport is situated about 20 kms outside the city. The city lies on the Golden Quadrilateral National Highway and is well connected by road too. Once you are at the edge of the Lake Pichola, to take a boat to reach Lake Palace in Udaipur.

Best Time to Go
Though any season is made comfortable for a visitor, if you are planning to head out to other tourist destinations of Udaipur, the period of October to February is the best. It is worth coinciding your visit with the Shilpgram Festival which takes place in December, organised to promote art and craft of Rajasthan.

Don’t Miss
Other enticing sites to visit are Jag Mandir, Kumbalgarh Sanctuary, Bagore Ki Haveli, Shilpgram Museum, Ahar Museum, City Palace and Saheliyon Ki Bari.

Where to Stay
The premium price of actually staying at the Lake Palace may be beyond the reach of most travellers but the beauty of the lake and it’s surrounds can be enjoyed by all. Balunda House in Udaipur has four spacious suites, a lush lawn and two common areas for guests to enjoy and can help arrange sightseeing around the city.

The National Park is spread over more than 1300 sq kms, and is flanked by sanctuaries like the Mansingh Sanctuary and the Kaila Devi Sanctuary. Though the endangered tigers have been most talked about, Ranthambore also harbours a large variety of other animals, avian species, flora and fauna.

The 1970s turned around everything for the national park when it was declared one of the Project Tiger Reserves. The Banas and Chambal Rivers add to the lush topography of the region.

Situated in the Aravali range, Mount Abu has the honour of being the only hill-station in Rajasthan as well as the whole of North-West India. Mount Abu is home to the world famous tourist destination; the ancient and majestic Dilwara Jain temples.

Mount Abu comes as a relief to the desert sands of Rajasthan: the climate is cool, it’s pleasantly soothing.

We had made our trip in the month of November and it was freezing cold (compared to the climate of Mumbai!). After a rather simple 12-hour rail journey from Mumbai the train pulled up at the deserted small town of ‘Abu road’ station. A 45-minute taxi ride up the winding roadways of Abu, with a bated breath we reached our destination! We were greeted with smiles and the fresh air of this serene hill station finally made us believe, our holiday has begun!

On the first day after refreshing ourselves, we embarked on a 1-kilometre hike up to the popular Sunset Point. At the end of this beautiful walk in the hills, a beautiful light filled up the edges of the cliff we stood upon. Sun was setting upon Rajasthan, and how! It was dramatic, beautiful and indescribable. Our whole family was in awe of the lovely sunset.

Next day we explored the Tibetan sweaters market which was about 10mins walk from our hotel. We then hired a taxi to see the Dilwara Jain and the Adhar devi temples. Photography is prohibited in Dilwara jain temple and we had to deposit our camera and cell phones at security.

Though Mount Abu can be visited throughout the year I prefer the winters to get away from city heat, and to sense that fresh chill in the air at evenings. On your visit to Mount Abu you must relish the delicious Maharashtrian, Gujarati, Rajasthani, South Indian, Punjabi, Chinese or Continental dishes. There are many eating joints in Mount Abu near the local Indian market and the lovely Nakki lake.

Temperature during winters is 14 degrees in the day, but by evenings it drops to 5degrees and do pack your winter clothes for your visit.

Banks and internet cafés are available in market. The local people are very simple and helpful.

WHAT TO SEE

Dilwara Jain Temple: These beautifully carved temples built between 11th and 13th century A.D. are sheer elegance in marble, dedicated to the Jain Tirthankaras and is a superb example of temple architecture.

Adhar Devi Temple: The temple is chiselled out of a huge rock reached by a flight of 360 stairs. A favourite tourist spot.

Sunset Point: Spectacular sight of the setting sun when the hills are covered in the golden glow can be viewed from here.

Museum and Art Gallery: Located at the Raj Bhawan, it was a collection of archaeological excavations dating back to 8th-12th century A.D. It also has Jain bronze carvings,brassworks etc. for viewing.

Nakki Lake: Located right in the heart of Mount Abu, and a quick walk from the local market, Nakki Lake is the perfect place to spend an evening with your partner, friends and family. The picture perfect location of the lake surrounded with mountains, gardens and rock formations also make it a very good location for photography. Especially in the evenings, you can enjoy a hot cup of tea in many open-air restaurants close by and watch the sun set over the lake.

HOW TO REACH MOUNT ABU

Being a popular holiday destination the place is well connected to rest of the country.

To reach Mount Abu by Rail: Abu Road is the nearest railway station just 28 KM from the main city, which is very well connected by rail routes to New Delhi, Ahmedabad, Jaipur, and Mumbai. From Abu Road you can opt for state transport service (usually every hour) or Taxis on both sharing and private basis.

To reach Mount Abu by Air: The nearest airport is Udaipur at a distance of 185 km, But Ahmedabad has better connectivity and daily flights with other parts of the country and is just 221 KM from Mount Abu, from Ahmedabad or Udaipur.

To reach Mount Abu by Road: Mount Abu is well-connected by road with major cities of the country, nearest national highway no. 14 is just 24 KM’s.

A trip of four nights is enough to enjoy the beauty of this hill station.

History and Architecture
The City Palace was the muse of Sawai Jai Singh II who was responsible to give its initial structure from 1729 to 1732. Later, two able architects Vidyadar Bhattacharya and also the Sawai himself infused the Indian nuances with Mughal and European details to make it one of the most awe inspiring buildings in the city. It was the seat for the ruling King of Jaipur and included the two palace complexes – Chandra Mahal and Mubarak Mahal. Even now, the City Palace, commands the erstwhile awe and respect from visitors all across the globe.

Apart from the palace complexes, the City Palace houses a museum. The other notable parts of the structure are the Diwan – I – Khas, Pitam Niwas Chowk, Diwan-I-Aam, Maharani’s Palace, Baggi Khana and the Govind Ji Temple. Stories like that of Ishwari Singh (son of Jai Singh) who died after being bitten by a snake and his 21 wives committing ‘sati’ (sitting in the funeral pyre of the husband) still hang heavy in the corridors of the palace. Make sure that you take your time to soak in the history and the legendary stories that reverberate in this magnificent structure.

How to Get There
Jaipur is well connected to Delhi by road and rail, it is not necessary to take a flight as the distance is only 277 kms and it takes not more than 4 hours to reach. The trains are also very convenient and well timed. Within the city, City Palace is quite accessible. Use a cab or local transport like auto rickshaws to get there. Please note that the entry is only from two of the three gates – Virendra Pol and the Udai Pol or the Atish Pol (Stable Gate). The third gate, Tripolia, is reserved for the Royal family.

Best Time to Visit
Weather wise, Jaipur has great weather between the months of October and December. Extreme cold and heat in the respective months are difficult to deal with for some, especially the summers.

Opening Times
The City Palace and the Museum are open between 10.00 a.m – 5.00 p.m on the days of the week. It is only closed on major festivals like Holi, Diwali and other select few. Please check before you plan your trip.

Entry Fees
As almost all historical places in India, the fees for foreign nationals is more than Indians. Foreign National – Rs 150 for adults, Rs 80 for children and Indians – Rs 35 for adults, Rs 20 for children.

Other Tips

• There are plenty of guides available at the Palace. Choose a government certified person only as the rates are fixed. One can tip accordingly based on your experience.
• The aarti in the Govind Ji Temple can be seen 7 times in the day. Check for the timing before you get in.
• Be suitably dressed as a mark of respect. String tops & shorts etc for women are common as Rajasthan is a travel hub, but carry a light stole around the shoulders is recommended for women.

There will not be one dull moment in Jaipur! The royal lineage of the city is present in its every fold. The city is dotted with impressive palaces & monuments, immediately transporting one to regal times. And when you need a break from historical buildings, Jaipur is a haven for shoppers – silver ornaments, a variety of fabric and Indian memorabilia line the streets.

The spirit of Jaipur is best experienced during one of its festivals and in August, you can get a more intimate experience of the local festivals. Teej and Nag Panchami are the two most unadulterated festivals here, which are celebrated without inclination towards tourism.

Teej is celebrated by married women in reverence of the marital bond shared by Lord Shiva and Goddess, Parvati. Processions of brightly dressed women take to the Old city’s streets for two days in the month of August. Fine clothing and jewellery is brought out of closets and the women indulge in traditional folk songs and dances.

In more remote villages, rope swings are hung from trees and women take chances to swing while the village fills with melodious songs. It’s easy to get immersed in this long established tradition. Feel free to join in the dance and singing and don’t forget to carry your camera! The colourful clothes, elegant dancing and some playful banter make for great photo opportunities.

This kind of a festival has very strong family traditions and you can get an upclose view of how Teej is celebrated right where you are staying, if you have stay at a homestay, sharing the culture and lifestyle of your hosts.

Another festival to look out for at this time is ‘Nag Panchami’! The snake is a much revered part of Hindu mythology and this festival is dedicated to the Snake God. Gods like Vishnu, Krishna and Shiva have a strong association with snakes and this unassailable creature gets its fair share of respect.

Besides making offerings of milk, sweets and prayers to the Snake God (especially the cobras), women keep fasts and draw pictures of snakes with white powder outside their houses for protection and respect as part of an age old custom.

One venue that should be part of your itinerary during August is the Hardevja Temple. Snakes are specially caught and fed with a healthy diet of rats and milk for the occasion. Many village folk carry snakes on pots and visit the temple to pay respect. This festival is certainly not for the faint hearted as you will certainly see a large variety of snakes during the celebrations.

Apart from the two exciting festivals in August, Jaipur stands as gateway into the state of Rajasthan and its many other wonders. Its proximity from Delhi (all of 4 hours by car or bus) is the biggest advantage for many travellers. Enjoy the splash of colours, festivals and local essence in the desert capital of the country!

If you would like to experience August festivals in Jaipur yourself contact our reservations team who will be happy to help you plan a trip.

Homestays offer the perfect opportunity to get a local insight into festivals and your host family will be happy to provide guidance on the best way to experience the celebrations. Check out our Jaipur homestay collection.

1. Rajasthan
One of the royal states in the world is also a desert. Thus the best time to visit is in winter. It is filled with forts, palaces and ancient temples. Most of these are open air and require a great deal of walking. This adds to the fact that it is almost futile to visit Rajasthan in summers. The only hill station in the state is Mount Abu, which is popular in the summer. It is advised to stay away from Rajasthan until the winters (November-February) or to plan a visit during July’s monsoons.

2. Kerala
One of India’s most divine states is the tropical state of Kerala. It is charming all through the year with different facets to offer during the different seasons. In winters it receives the highest number of guests. But even during the heavy monsoons of June to July it is enchanting for the poetic at heart. Everything around is greener, there’s a lovely smell in the air, streams and waterfalls are at their gushing best and the harsh humidity has been expelled. The backwaters being fed by rainwater is a magnificent sight to behold. While the best time to visit is all year round, there are some advantages to visiting in August so you can watch the famous snake boat race.

3. Uttarakhand
The state is famous mostly for its hill stations, which offer North India much needed respite from summers. From May-July is a popular time to visit and it is packed with families and groups of road trip-loving friends during this season. During some of the winter months December-January) many parts of the state receive snowfall, which leave a lot of areas inaccessible but also attracts a lot of people who want to enjoy winter sports or just want to make snowmen.

4. Jammu and Kashmir
Rightly dubbed as ‘Heaven on Earth’, J&K is a state that is magical all year round. From April to July, it is a great escape from heat and humidity and from December to January is a snow-clad paradise. In February and March, spring is at it’s best and in August, autumn colours are at their finest. If you are visiting Leh-Ladakh, the highest plateau and only cold dessert in the world, the right time is from July to September. At other times snowfall and harsh climate renders it closed to outsiders.

5. Goa
The tiny union territory famous for its beaches and revelry is very hot and humid from April to August. But that doesn’t prevent merrymaking collegiate from making it their base in the summer vacations of June and July, probably the worst time to be here. Goa truly comes alive from September to March and is at its best around New Year.
