udaipur 2 days travel itinerary

2 Days in Udaipur Itinerary: the White City of India

Thanks to its five lakes, Udaipur has often been dubbed the Venice of the East or the City of Lakes , and it’s one of my favourite cities in Rajasthan. This Udaipur itinerary for 2 days is perfect for first-timers . It will bring you to floating palaces, beautiful temples and breathtaking viewpoints.

Surrounded by the Aravalli hills, Udaipur was founded in the 16th century as the new capital of the Mewar Kingdom. It would remain like this until 1818 when it became a British princely state.

Today, Udaipur is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Rajasthan and it’s easy to understand why. With its serene lakes, colourful markets and peaceful gardens, it’s a city that does not disappoint.

2 days travel itinerary for Udaipur, India

Day 1: Lakes and temples

Let’s dive right into it! The first day of this itinerary will give you an idea of what Udaipur is all about. It will bring you to the city’s most romantic lake, its most famous temple and a spectacular viewpoint.

8:30 am: Lake Pichola

We’ll start the first day of this itinerary by exploring Lake Pichola and its surroundings. Lake Pichola is undoubtedly Udaipur’s most famous sight. It’s thanks to this artificial lake that Udaipur is considered the most romantic city in Rajasthan .

Some of the sights you cannot miss during a visit to Lake Pichola are Gangaur Ghat and Ambrai Ghat . You will have a beautiful view of the lake from both of these places. Note that you will have to pay a small fee (and an extra fee if you want to take photos) to visit Ambrai Ghat.

Tip : Lake Shore Restaurant is a nice place to have breakfast near Ambrai Ghat. You will have a stunning view of the lake here!

10:00 am: Monsoon Palace

The Monsoon Palace, also known as Sajjangarh Fort , is 10 km (6.2 mi) from Udaipur’s old town. You will need to take a rickshaw to get to the entrance of the palace, and then you can either take a jeep or walk to the top of the hill. The hike up takes approximately 1 hour.

This palace was built for Maharana Sajjan Singh in 1884, and it offers a stunning view over Udaipur. It’s believed that the Maharana built it here to get a view of Chittorgarh, his ancestral home and the previous capital.

Fun fact: The Monsoon Palace is also famous for being featured in the James Bond movie Octopussy.

12:30 pm: Lunch

Head back to the old town for lunch. Some of the rooftop restaurants I liked that are close to the Jagdish Temple (which is next on this itinerary) are Café Boho and Savage Garden (which is on top of Edelweiss Café).

1:30 pm: Jagdish Temple

After lunch, it’s time to head to the Jagdish Temple, which is the largest one in Udaipur. This Hindu temple was completed in 1651 and its architecture is simply stunning. You will find numerous statues of elephants, horsemen, musicians and dancers on the structure’s facades.

This temple is devoted to Lord Vishnu and according to the legend, the marble slab inside the temple has healing powers. It’s believed that if you rub your shoulders, knees or back against it, it will relieve pain.

2:00 pm: Ahar Cenotaphs

A place that’s often overlooked on a Udaipur travel itinerary is the Ahar Cenotaphs , also known as the Royal Cremation Grounds . These are a 4 km (2.5 mi) drive from the Jagdish Temple, so the easiest way to get there is by taking a rickshaw.

Cenotaphs are small tomb-like structures that were built in honour of kings, queens and other important people. The Ahar Cenotaphs contain more than 250 of these structures. They were built by the Maharanas of Mewar approximately 350 years ago and they’re pretty impressive!

This is a nice place to enjoy some peace and quiet after strolling around the bustling streets of Udaipur’s old city.

It’s good to know that there is no entry fee to visit the Ahar Cenotaphs. There are guides at the entrance that will ask you for money if you want to take pictures, but this is not official. I gave them 40 INR but you don’t have to give them anything if you don’t want to.

4:00 pm: Saheliyon-ki-Bari

The last stop of the day is Saheliyon-ki-Bari (Garden of Maids in English), a romantic garden that’s a 15-minute rickshaw ride from the Royal Cenotaphs.

These gardens were built by Rana Sanga of the Mewar dynasty to offer the queen and the maidens a peaceful getaway from palace life and political issues. You will find marble elephants, a lotus pool and multiple fountains here. It’s the perfect place to relax after a busy day of exploring Udaipur.

Tip: Rainbow Restaurant is another great place to have dinner with a gorgeous lake view. It’s located in the old town; a 40-minute walk or a 15-minute rickshaw drive from Saheliyon-ki-Bari.

Day 2: Palaces and views

On day 2 of this Udaipur itinerary, it’s time to enjoy some spectacular views and head to one of the city’s most famous sights; the City Palace.

9:30 am: City Palace

After breakfast, it’s time to head to the City Palace, a place that you cannot miss on a visit to Udaipur. Its mix of Rajasthani and Mughal architectural styles will take your breath away.

The City Palace was built in 1553 and it’s the largest royal complex in the state of Rajasthan. It was built at the demand of Maharana Udai Singh II when he moved the capital from Chittorgarh to Udaipur.

Inside, you will find splendid halls, amazing palaces, beautiful mosaics and an interesting museum.

11:00 am: Boat ride on Lake Pichola & Jag Mandir

Next, it’s time to head to the Lake Pichola Municipal Boat Ride Point, which is located opposite the City Palace. From here, you can take a boat ride on Lake Pichola and make a stop at Jag Mandir, the palace, which has now been converted into a hotel, in the middle of the lake.

This boat trip will offer you spectacular views over the lake, the ghats and the City Palace, and it’s one of the top things to do in Udaipur!

12:30 am: Lunch

A great place to have lunch in Udaipur’s old town is Sun & Moon Cafe , which is a 15-minute walk from the City Palace. This place claims to have the highest rooftop in the city. I don’t know if this is true, but there’s no denying that the view from their rooftop is spectacular!

1:30 pm: Mansapurna Karni Mata Ropeway

The Mansapurna Karni Mata Ropeway is located 1,5 km (0.9 mi) from the old city, so you can either walk or take a rickshaw to get there.

This cable car ride will take you to Machhala Hill , where you will find the Sri Karni Mata Temple . Although the temple isn’t that spectacular, you will find an amazing view over Udaipur here, which is what makes it worth heading to this hilltop!

Note that you will still have to walk up some stairs to reach the temple and viewpoint once you get off of the cable car.

4:00 pm: Explore the old city, shop for souvenirs and look for street art

Head back to the old city, which is located around the Jagdish Temple and the Clock Tower (Ghantaghar), and explore its little alleys.

If you’d like to shop for some nice souvenirs from India , this is the perfect place to do so. You will find many shops selling colourful clothes, beautiful jewellery, traditional paintings and more. Do make sure to haggle before buying something, though.

Keep an eye open for the colourful street art and murals that are scattered all over Udaipur’s old city while you’re there. These are Rajputana paintings and their use dates back to the Mewar era.

6:30 pm: Dharohar Dance Show at Lok Dharohar Haveli

Head to the Dharohar Dance Show at Lok Dharohar Haveli for the last evening in Udaipur. Here, you will get a taste of traditional Rajasthani dances, and it’s quite impressive, to say the least!

From puppet dances to Rajasthani women balancing (a lot of!) pots on their heads while dancing, it’s a spectacular show that you will definitely remember.

Although there are cultural Rajasthani dance performances in other cities in Rajasthan too, the one in Udaipur is known to be the most spectacular one, so don’t miss it!

Tip : The show starts at 7 pm but make sure to come early to get a good seat. The doors open at 6:30 pm but you can buy your tickets in advance (or book them online via the Dharohar Folk Dance website).

How to get to Udaipur

Udaipur is a well-connected city that’s easily reachable by bus , train and plane , as the nearest airport (Maharana Pratap Airport) is located 20 km (12.4) from the city.

You can book bus and train tickets using 12GoAsia . This is the only website I could find that accepts payments with non-Indian credit cards. Note that when you’re travelling in the north of India, it’s essential to book transportation in advance .

How to get around in Udaipur

Many tourist attractions are within walking distance of one another, but not all of them. Besides walking, the easiest ways to get around in Udaipur are the following:

• Rickshaw: Although you will have to negotiate the price in advance, taking the rickshaw is a great way to get around in Udaipur. You will find rickshaws nearly everywhere in the city.
• Ola: When travelling in India, the Ola app is a true lifesaver. This app will allow you to book a car, rickshaw or bike to pick you up and bring you to your destination for a fair price. This way, you won’t have to haggle, as rickshaw drivers try to charge 10 times the local price for foreigners.
• Taxi: The most comfortable way to get around is by taking a taxi, but note that this is also the most expensive one.
• Rent a bike or car: If flexibility and freedom are things that you value, then renting a car or a bike to get around Udaipur is the best option.

Best time to visit Udaipur

Like many places in India , the best time to visit Udaipur is between October and March , when it’s not too hot.

In April and May, it will be very hot, as this is summer in India, and the monsoon season is between June and September. I visited Udaipur during the monsoon, in July, and although there were dry days, it did rain a lot.

Udaipur Itinerary: The Best Places To Visit In 2 Days

Last Updated on February 29, 2024 by Natalia

Known as the City of Lakes, Udaipur is one of India’s most romantic cities full of wonderful places to visit in a 2 day itinerary. The best places to visit in Udaipur in 2 days are scattered around the city – from the stunning City Palace beside Lake Pichola to Monsoon Palace to Badi Lake. There are many great cities to visit in Rajasthan such as Jaipur and Jaisalmer , but Udaipur really stands out. Find out exactly how to spend your time in the city with the best places to visit in this 2 day Udaipur itinerary!

Table of Contents

2 Day Udaipur Itinerary

The stunning City Palace is the perfect place to visit to begin your 2 day itinerary in Udaipur. Situated on the shores of Lake Pichola and built over the course of nearly 400 years, it’s the largest palace in Rajasthan.

Built entirely from granite and marble, the palace complex features an array of terraces, courtyards, gates, and gardens, as well as many beautiful and intricately decorated rooms. On top of that, the architecture of the palace as a whole is impressive in its own right.

The Maharana ruled their kingdom from the Udaipur City Palace, making it one of the city’s most significant landmarks. There’s so much to see inside, with particular highlights being the stunning ‘blue room’ and the exquisitely designed Mor Chowk courtyard.

As well as the above, you can expect to see a collection of different artefacts in the City Palace Museum, from weapons to clothes to jewellery. The palace is also known for making an appearance in the James Bond film, Octopussy.

The City Palace is the most visited attraction in Udaipur and a must see place to visit in this 2 day itinerary, so we recommend arriving when it opens at 9.30am – that way you can avoid the crowds.

There is an entrance fee of 300 rupees per person, with a guide costing 250 rupees per hour or an audio guide costing 200 rupees. With so much to see you can easily spend 2-3 hours exploring this fascinating palace complex.

Once you’ve finished exploring the City Palace, we recommend heading to the impressive Jagdish Temple – a Hindu temple opened in 1651. It’s one of the largest temples in Udaipur, and it’s conveniently located just a short walk from the City Palace.

Next up we recommend stopping for lunch at a rooftop restaurant, which is a must do during your 2 days itinerary in Udaipur. There are several to choose from, with many offering amazing views of the City Palace, Taj Lake Palace and Lake Pichola, as well as the city itself.

After lunch walk over to Ambrai Ghat, which is situated on the edge of Lake Pichola. From here you can enjoy lovely views of the City Palace and Taj Lake Palace, so it’s well worth a quick visit.

As part of your 2 day Udaipur itinerary we definitely recommend getting a 2 hour guided boat tour across the lovely Lake Pichola to find out more about the rich history. Click here to book this tour with Get Your Guide!

Spend the rest of your afternoon visiting the famous Monsoon Palace – another filming location for Octopussy. Located on top of a hill, the palace offers some amazing panoramic views of the area and is definitely one of the best viewpoints of Udaipur.

The palace itself is reasonably impressive from the outside, but we found the inside particularly underwhelming, especially in comparison to the beautiful City Palace. Fortunately, it’s well worth making the trip for the wonderful views of Udaipur. From this high up you can appreciate the vast diversity of the city, with its rolling mountains, green hills, and lakes.

To get from Udaipur to Monsoon Palace you need to take a taxi or tuk-tuk to the entrance, which should cost around 300-400 rupees for a round trip. Your driver will drop you off at the ticketing office at the base of the hill, where you need to pay an entrance fee of 300 rupees.

On top of the ticket price, you also need to pay around 100 rupees for a return journey in a share taxi/van to take you a few kilometres uphill to the palace itself. It’s a bit of a thrilling ride, as the drivers take the sharp bends a bit too quickly for our liking!

Once you’re at the top, explore the palace and then just sit back and enjoy the views. If it’s not too cloudy then stick around for sunset, but if not head back to where the taxi/van dropped you off and wait to be taken back down to the entrance.

If you’re looking for an easier way to complete the first day of this itinerary then you can book a private tour that visits all of these spots via Get Your Guide. These tours start from as little as 3000 rupees per person, with entry fees included in the price depending on the option you select.

Click here to book a private tour of the City Palace and much more via the Get Your Guide website!

The second day of this Udaipur itinerary takes you to two of our favourite places to visit in the city – Badi Lake and Animal Aid Unlimited. Both spots are outside of the city so you will need to take a tuk-tuk or taxi, which should cost around 700 rupees in total.

Badi Lake is around a 45-minute drive from the city, and is one of the hidden gems of Udaipur. The city is well known for its lakes, and Badi Lake is by far the most beautiful lake we saw in the area.

If you want to escape the city’s busy streets then this is the perfect place to come. It’s substantially quieter than the lakes in the city so it’s relatively peaceful, and when we visited there were only a few other locals around.

What makes Badi Lake so beautiful is the breathtaking scenery surrounding it, and the best point to admire this from is Bahubali Hill. It’s an incredibly picturesque spot, with 360 degree views of the lake and surrounding hills as far as the eye can see. Visiting Badi Lake is a place you must visit on a 2 day itinerary in Udaipur.

Click here to read our guide to visiting Badi Lake and Bahubali Hill!

After you finish up at Badi Lake get your driver to take you to Animal Aid Unlimited, which is around 20 minutes away. If you’re not an animal lover then you may prefer to return to the city itself and explore, but for anyone that does like animals we can’t recommend this place enough!

Animal Aid Unlimited is an organisation set up in 2002 to help treat and rescue sick, injured or stuck animals in the Udaipur area. They look after a range of animals on site, including dogs, cats, donkeys and buffalo – all of which have been rescued from the streets or were in need of urgent medical attention.

They do some truly incredible work rescuing and taking care of these animals, and you can learn all about the work they do on a tour.

Travelling around India one of the things you’ll notice is the number of stray dogs and animals on the streets, so it’s important organisations like this exist and are supported.

When we were in Jodhpur we discovered a severely injured donkey in the road, but unfortunately there are no organisations like Animal Aid in the area so, despite our best efforts, we couldn’t do anything to help.

Tours at Animal Aid Unlimited cost nothing, so visiting is definitely one of the best free things to do in Udaipur. Donations are encouraged to help support the good work they do, and they also have t-shirts for sale with the profits being used to care for the animals.

For an animal lover this place is a must visit as well as a great thing to do when visiting Udaipur.

If you have more time in Udaipur then you can also volunteer at Animal Aid Unlimited, so make sure to visit their website to find out about visiting and volunteering!

How to get to Udaipur

Domestic flights to Udaipur are available from a number of Indian cities including Mumbai, New Delhi and Ahmedabad. Prices will vary but are often quite reasonable, especially if you book in advance.

Although it is possible to fly from Jaipur , we recommend avoiding unnecessary air travel where possible. Thankfully the train is a cheap and reliable alternative, so click here to read our guide on how to get from Jaipur to Udaipur!

Unfortunately there are no direct trains from Jodhpur to Udaipur. If you’re coming from Jodhpur we recommend taking a taxi between the two cities as it gives you the chance to stop off at the magnificent Ranakpur Jain Temple on the way. Click here to book a taxi from Jodhpur to Udaipur with a stop at the stunning Ranakpur Jain Temple!

Find out more with our guide on getting between Udaipur and Jodhpur!

Best time to visit Udaipur

The best time to visit Udaipur is between the months of October and March, as the temperatures are more bearable at this time of year. Between March and June it can get very hot in the city, and so it can make going out and exploring uncomfortably warm.

Monsoon season in Udaipur runs from around June to September, which is important to consider before you visit. The rainiest months tend to be July and August, but if you visit in September you may escape the worst of the rain.

Visiting in monsoon season has some advantages as the landscape in places like Badi Lake is covered with lush greenery, which makes it even more beautiful!

2 day Udaipur Itinerary: A weekend of Havelis & cuisines

Sharing is caring!

Udaipur, without doubt, not only enjoys an unmatched setting in the Indian state of Rajasthan but arguably in the whole of the country. Here is our 2 day Udaipur itinerary to help you spend an epic weekend in the city!

Hemmed in by the scenic Aravali Mountains and nestled conveniently on the banks of three placid interconnected bodies of water, it is no wonder that the this ‘City of Lakes’ has been tagged as one of the most romantic places to holiday in this part of Asia.

2 day Udaipur Itinerary: Trip preparation and planning guide

Disclosure: This post contains affiliate links. If you click one of them, we may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you.

To ensure a hassle free trip to the historic city of Udaipur, here is some advice that one must heed at the time of planning the journey.

For starters, the summer months are best avoided as the city gets exceedingly hot from April onwards. From September to February, the weather is pleasant and the gardens and lakes look quite breathtaking. This is the ideal time to enjoy the many attractions on your Udaipur itinerary.

The narrow streets and lanes of Udaipur are best explored on foot and even most of the major landmarks are within walking distance of each other. For short distance, auto-rickshaws are an affordable choice as they charge about $1.25 for two, to travel anywhere within the city. App based cabs are less of a hassle than the auto-rickshaw and are a convenient way to reach attractions a bit away from the city.

Hotels and Tours recommendations

Almost all the major tourist sites are centred around Lake Pichola, which makes staying here the perfect option for a short visit. Moreover, the attractions are within short walking distance of each other, so there is no necessity to take any kind of transport. If you want to travel further, your hotel will easily get you a guide cum driver for the full day.

Here are some hotel recommendations for Udaipur depending on your budget. Here you can either live like a king in the tons of high end accommodation or rough it out in a dorm. If I could afford it, I would be torn between the lavish Taj Lake Palace and the Leela Palace.

For a mid-range experience check out the Madri Haveli or the Jagat Niwas Hotel. A more budget friendly option is the Zostel Udaipur, where you can stay in comfort in a private room with lake views or in a dorm bunk.

Two day itinerary

If you are wondering how to explore the plethora of attractions in this beautiful desert city for the limited period you have in hand,this specially curated two day Udaipur itinerary has everything sorted out for you.

Day One- Morning

There is no better way to begin your first day of your Udaipur tour than by a hearty breakfast at Jheels Ginger Coffee Bar & Bakery on the Gangaur Ghat Road.They serve coffee, tea, sandwiches and other vegetarian dishes in a fantastic setting overlooking Pichola Lake .Their signature cottage cheese sandwiches offering is a must try.

A short walk away from the cafe lies the Jagadish Temple in Silawat Wadi. Strolling among the numerous ornate shrines, wall and pillar carvings in the early morning atmosphere will raise your spirits for the rest of the day. Photography inside the temple is strictly banned.

Your rest of the morning should be devoted to seeing the splendid Udaipur City Palace also located in Silawat Wadi. You will require a good couple of hours to explore the beauty of Sheesh Mahal, Badi Mahal, ornate rooms and other museum displays.The City Palace tour is an absolute must on any day Udaipur itinerary. Photography is allowed here, albeit for a small fee. For the best view of the palace, take a boat ride on Lake Pichola and look back at the incredible views.

Your trip to Udaipur City would be deemed incomplete without savoring a dish or two of the famous Rajasthani cuisine. Located in Panchwati, the Traditional Khanna restaurant has a setting reminiscent of a royal palace and serves some excellent local dishes in traditional style.

Day One- Afternoon

A brief ten minutes walk from the restaurant is the Bharatiya Lok Kala Mandal Museum on Saheli Marg. This institution is a cultural bonanza as it is home to some amazing pots, paintings,masks and wall murals. A puppet show, which takes place every evening at 6pm, is the star attraction here which I found very enjoyable.

Day One- Evening

A magical experience awaits you at the Bagore ki Haveli in Gangaur Ghat. Here guests can witness a captivating folk dance show , a mesmerising hour long performance which begins each evening at 7pm. Sitting on comfortable floor mats, steps of the haveli or atop balconies, visitors get to see dance histrionics by local artists in the most colorful dresses. Tickets for the night show sell out fast, so queue up well before time to guarantee a spot.

After a day of hectic sightseeing, it is time to indulge in dinner at a swanky bar and restaurant. Upre by 1559AD is just the perfect outlet to enjoy a fabulous meal in a rooftop setting overlooking the shimmering waters of Lake Pichola and a view of the heritage ghats. Upre serves some of the most delectable Northern and Rajasthani cuisine with liquor and fine cocktails. 

Day Two- Morning

Set the better part of your second morning aside to see some of the temples of historical importance located on the outskirts of Udaipur City. So have an early breakfast at your hotel or any nearby restaurant to make the most of your itinerary.

Nagoda village is a mere thirty minutes ride away from the city center and is home to the ancient Eklingji temple dedicated to the Mewar rulers and the Sahasra Bahu temple known for its exquisite carvings and spectacular architecture. This is an important pilgrimage site which contains 108 beautiful marble temples. The temple comes to life every evening during the aarti ceremony.

Some distance away at Ganpati Nagar, lies the Ahar Museum, displaying the royal cenotaphs where the rulers of Mewar were cremated.There is a rare collection of pottery and sculptures dating back to ancient Indian history that is quite fascinating. A final resting place may not be on everyone’s ideal day out activity, but there is a peaceful aura around them that can not be found anywhere else.

Around five kilometres away from the Ahar Museum, on the Bapu Bazar main road, is Natraj restaurant, a famous eatery for those who relish the most authentic Gujarati dishes along with the traditional local cuisine and desserts. Though the location is far from the old city, the food is excellent, staff is friendly and the atmosphere is very peaceful.

Day Two- Afternoon

For enjoying some of the best panoramic views of Udaipur, the famous monsoon palace of the erstwhile king, Sajjangarh Palace, is unbeatable. Located on a hilltop in Kodiyat, the white colored palace is replete with gardens, terraces, wide verandahs and striking architecture. Apart from viewing the city’s scenic beauty, one can get splendid views of Fateh Sagar Lake . The palace itself doesn’t offer much, but the views are worth the visit.

Day Two- Evening

By evening of your second day opt for a boat ride from Rameshwar Ghat on Lake Pichola. As the sun sets, the palaces and buildings are lit up one by one. The ride provides great views of these illuminated buildings surrounding the lake.The best way is to hire a private boat in order to experience the wonders in total solitude and privacy.

After the boat ride you can enjoy some more views of the local attractions by opting for a cable car ride to Karni Mata Temple. During the ride you can enjoy wonderful views of Fateh Sagar Lake, City Palace, Lake Pichola and the surrounding mountains.The last ride is over by 9pm.

Udaipur is known for its hospitality, so save the best for the last by having a meal at the Tribute near Fateh Sagar Lake. Considered to be one of the best places to eat in Udaipur, guests  can enjoy views of the Rang Sagar by islands, home to a large colony of resident and migratory birds, while enjoying assorted delicacies and savoury meals.

Alternate tour suggestions:

Lake Pichola boat ride:

Udaipur is known as the lake city for good reason, so to visit the place and not go on a boat ride would be doing injustice to the trip. The ride offers unique views of the City Palace and the ghats and is a great way to spend a few hours, especially in the morning hours.

Take an art/meditation class

Advertisements for classes can be seen all around the city.They offer everything from art, cooking to yoga and meditation. As India is known for this kind of stuff, it is best to try your hand in any of the above fields. That said, these classes are priced quite cheap (about $1.25 and up) and are priced by the hour.

Street food walk tour:(2 hours)

This food tasting tour of Udaipur will take you through the narrow streets in search of some of the most delectable dishes. The erstwhile Mewar kingdom has many royal remnants that are mouth-watering and delicious. Your guide will relate about the royal past while you walk through the city.

Glimpses of Udaipur by bike: (2 hours)

To spend some quality time with family and friends, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, this electric bike tour takes you along village roads to some offbeat places. As you wind down the trail, you will find the brilliant local culture unfolding before your eyes around every turn.

Apart from these there are many other places worth visiting once you are in the city. Since your time is limited, here is a list of some of them you may visit as per personal interest:

• Government Ahar Museum
• Sukhadia Circle
• Under the Sun Aquarium.
• The vintage car collection at Garden Hotel
• Sajjangarh wildlife sanctuary

Day Trips suggestions

For one of the best day trip tour packages from Udaipur, a visit to Kumbhalgarh Fort is an absolute must. Located 85km from Udaipur, this impressive structure has a massive wall, second only to the Great Wall of China. Some believe it was built in 6th century AD, but the fact is that Kumbhalgarh and other hill forts of Rajasthan have made their way into a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Indian history buffs can even opt for a private guided day trip from Udaipur to the massive Chittorgarh Fort, another UNESCO World Heritage Site. You can learn about the incredible history of the place while enjoying expansive views from this hilltop structure.The large fortress takes several hours to explore and takes up the better part of a day for the return 230 km trip.

Situated at the southernmost tip of the Aravali mountains, Mount Abu is a quaint hill retreat about 180km away from Udaipur. Visitors throng here to enjoy the cool climate in this green oasis amidst the desert. The place is also home to some exquisite Delwara Jain temples, dating back to the eleventh century.

Were two days enough

Seriously speaking, you will wonder how so many attractions can be fitted in just two days to see what Udaipur has to offer, given the fact that some may be closed on any given day due to unavoidable reasons. Still it is possible to fit everything in 48 hours provided you plan and research well. If you adhere to the itinerary outlined in this post above, you can be assured of an incredible, though jam-packed two days of bliss in Udaipur.

Packing tips

Since you will be having just two days in Udaipur, you are likely to spend most of the time you have exploring the city on foot. Pack your bag with a good pair of thick rubber sole canvas shoes, a sun hat, loose cotton clothing and sunscreen lotion.

If you are traveling during the peak winter months, you should add a fleece jacket, woolen scarf or stole and maybe a woolen beanie.

The weather and the spicy food combined may aggravate any pre-existing medical conditions, so carry extra prescription medicines along with the emergency medication as the local pharmacies may not stock them.

Stay clear of dark and lonely areas and try to get back to your resort well before the sun has set.Being a leading tourist destination, the city has its fair share of scamsters. If you are approached by anyone to attend a royal wedding, beware of them as they may lead you to an overpriced tailoring shop for an outfit for a non-existent occasion.

Do not accept any hospitality from strangers or any free food and drinks. A rule of the thumb, while out shopping, is to always bargain and bargain hard to get the price down to 50% of the asking rate.

Carry maps,GPS and learn to read the signboards in the city. Shun autos and rickshaw drivers who want to take you to a good place to stay. Always keep cash and small change handy in order to avoid changing big bills in public places.

Hotel rates plummet by as much as 50-75% from March onwards till September. This makes even the most upscale accommodation affordable for the common people. As this is the summer and monsoon period, you can be assured of a fantastic deal, no matter where you want to stay.

If you are travelling on a tight budget, go for a local Rajasthan platter(thali), which offers as much food as you can eat for a couple of dollars. An easy on your pocket trip in a standard hotel with meals and sightseeing can be achieved in around $125 per day.

Observe proper decorum when visiting Udaipur by following some general norms of behaviour:

• Both men and women are supposed to dress modestly and not over expose. Residents, usually, frown upon exposed cleavage and bare shoulders.
• Though the city is by large safe for solo women travelers, be prepared to endure some amount of staring, especially in the crowded markets.
• Some of the paintings,carvings and frescoes are centuries old, so avoid touching them as a lot of cost and effort has gone into preserving them.
• When invited for a meal by a local, do not leave any food on your plate or send a dish away without tasting it as these are considered as serious affronts.
• Some places of archaeological importance do not allow backpacks inside, so check for a list of such spots from the hotel or local information center.
• If hot weather is not an issue, then the Gangaur festival held in April each year is one of the biggest cultural events in Udaipur. The three day event highlights the best of the region’s history and culture.

Conclusion : Should you visit Udaipur in 2 days?

Udaipur is full of beautiful palaces and some of the most stunning man-made lakes to be found anywhere in India. Personally, it is suggested to visit all the local attractions on the first day and take a road trip to any of the attractions highlighted above.

Getting around Udaipur

Many of the top things to do in Udaipur are located around the City Palace and can be easily covered on foot. However, for other places, you can avail any of the following options:

Car: Hiring a car in Udaipur is useful if you are planning to explore the hills and countryside outside of the city, such as the Monsoon Palace . Otherwise, you won’t need it to explore the area in the city, and around the lakes. 

Rickshaw: You can hire a rickshaw to take you to any place in Udaipur. You can  hire a rickshaw for a trip or the entire day. 

Scooter: Renting a scooter or a bike for two days is a good way to enjoy Udaipur, if you are a proficient rider and have experience driving in India. Many shops around Jagdish Mandir provide scooter rentals. Most tourist attractions have their own paid parking ensuring the safety of your scooter.

Central areas in Udaipur district are congested and there is a high chance of getting stuck in traffic jams, which makes a scooter an ideal way to get around.

What to do on a 2-day Udaipur itinerary?

A 2-day Udaipur itinerary will focus on the best things to do in Udaipur and the best places to visit. We have rounded up all of the must-visit places in Udaipur so you don’t miss out. 

Day 1 – Things to do in Udaipur

Sahelion Ki Bari

Start your day by visiting the beautiful royal gardens called the Sahelion ki Bari. These gardens are filled with a riot of flowers and several fountains, however, the primary attraction is the fountain area located right at its centre.

Tip: Try to reach here at 9.30 a.m. when the gardens are just opening for less crowds and better photos.

Sajjangarh or Monsoon Palace

Your next stop should be Sajjangarh, otherwise known as the Monsoon Palace . It’s at the top of a steep hill and you can drive right up to the top through the winding roads of the wildlife sanctuary area. 

If you don’t have your own car, the Monsoon Palace has jeeps which ply tourists to and fro. The actual palace is not that well maintained. But the visit is well worth it for the 360-degree views of the city, the lakes, and the entire surrounding area!

Tip: If you are not traveling by your own car, expect to wait for about half an hour for you to get a seat in one of the jeeps.

Jagdish Mandir

From Monsoon Palace, head into the Old City area of Udaipur . A stunning centerpiece of this area is the Jagdish Mandir. Built in beautiful marble, this temple is a great place to visit before having lunch.

Lunch at a rooftop restaurant

The area around Jagdish Mandir is crowded with numerous hotels with roof-top restaurants, many of them lake facing. If the weather is not too hot when you visit Udaipur, having lunch in one such restaurant is a great idea. These restaurants serve typical Rajasthani thalis as well as a vast variety of other Indian food options.

If it’s too hot at lunchtime, ensure you spend at least one dinner on a rooftop facing the lake.

Tip: Try Jagat Niwas Rooftop restaurant.

Udaipur City Palace

Visiting the City Palace is number one on most lists of things to do in Udaipur. The magnificent – and sprawling! – City Palace overlooking Lake Pichola is still the residence of the royal family of Udaipur . It’s the second largest palace in India and a large section of it has been converted into a museum and open to the public. 

Arrows are placed throughout the palace to guide you forward and ensure you see everything. The Taj Lake Palace Hotel and Jagmandir Palace, both arising from the shimmering waters of Lake Pichola, can be seen from the beautiful arched windows of the City Palace.

The City Palace is well-maintained and filled with priceless treasures. It will give you a good look into the courtly life of historic Rajasthan. Give yourself 2-3 hours to explore this huge place.

Tip: Hire a guide to hear the stories of this fabled palace.

Boat ride on Lake Pichola and Jag Mandir Palace

A boat ride on Lake Pichola is another one of those things you must do in Udaipur. You can buy tickets just outside the City Palace, or (at a cheaper price), lakeside at Lake Pichola. 

Taking a boat ride on Lake Pichola is a fun thing to do in Udaipur. It will give you a close up look at the fabulous Taj Lake Palace Hotel and also a great view of the Udaipur “skyline” including the majestic City Palace.

The boat will stop at Jag Mandir Palace, where you can explore this tiny island and stop for a coffee or tea at the Jag Mandir cafe . 

Tip: Take a Lake Pichola boat ride at around 4 pm in the afternoon. The sun will be at the right angle for photos of the City Palace.

Mansapurna Karni Mata Mandir for sublime sun set

Mansapurna Karnimata Mandir sits atop a hill in the Aravalli Range that surrounds Udaipur. The Aravalli Range is believed to be the oldest range of fold mountains in India, and runs from Gujarat through Rajasthan to Delhi.

Find out the timing of sunset beforehand to make sure you witness one of the most memorable sunsets of your life. As the sun goes down, the entire city including the City Palace begins to light up. The Mansapurna Karnimata Mandir is the only place from where you get to witness this magic. Well worth the effort to get there – you will experience a sublime Incredible India moment.

You can climb all the way to the top of the hill if you have the time and energy – or take the ropeway. 

Tip: The waiting time for the ropeway can be 20 minutes to an hour, so remember to factor this time and reach the temple accordingly to not miss the sunset. Preserve the ticket for your ride back.

Dharohar at Bagore ki Haveli

Bagore ki Haveli is located on the Gangaur Ghat, near Jagdish Mandir, on Lake Pichola. The Haveli offers a Rajasthani folk dance performance every evening, bringing to life the cultural richness of Rajasthan. While the show is a tourist attraction, it also presents very authentic – and spectacular – Rajasthani folk dances in a historic and culturally rich setting. It is one of the best things to do in Udaipur in the evening.

Tip: It’s also fun to just hang out at the Gangaur Ghat or the Ambrai Ghat and watch the world go by

Dinner at Ambrai / Natraj

After Bagore ki Haveli, head to Ambrai, the most famous restaurant in Udaipur. This restaurant sits on Ambrai Ghat which is right opposite the Udaipur City Palace.

At night when the palace is lit up, dining here is a special experience as you get to enjoy the best view of the Udaipur City Palace. Dinner at Ambrai features on every list of things to do in Udaipur. 

But if you are not interested in spectacular views and want to try authentic Rajasthani food, you can eat at Natraj , a thali-serving restaurant close to Udaipur Railway Station and a favourite among locals.

Tip: Make a reservation at Ambrai well in advance as it fills up.

Day 2 – Places to visit in Udaipur

Bagore Ki Haveli

Start your day two of exploring Udaipur by going back to the Bagore ki Haveli. Bagore ki Haveli used to be the residence of the prime minister. Now, they have converted it into a museum possessing a rich collection of traditional costumes and paintings . The Haveli contains an astonishing 138 rooms and provides a wonderful peek into the royal lifestyle.

Tip: Bagore Ki Haveli is one of the best places to visit in Udaipur. Try and get here when it opens in the morning, about 10 am, for less crowds.

Local food for lunch in Udaipur

If you are a foodie, one of the most important things to do in Udaipur is to try local food such as Dal Bati Churma and Pyaz ki Kachori . 

You can find these items at the small restaurants around Bagore ki Haveli and Jagdish Mandir. The restaurants may not be stylish, but the food is authentic Rajasthani cuisine. After lunch, explore the lanes around Jagdish Mandir and satisfy your sweet cravings by eating piping hot gulab jamun for dessert. 

If you don’t want to eat at these small local restaurants and prefer a fine dining experience in an upscale setting with live music, book a table at 1559 AD near Fateh Sagar Lake. A heritage bungalow converted into a restaurant, you can choose garden, verandah, or indoor seating. You can order Rajasthan specialties here such as Lal Maas.

Shopping in Udaipur at Bapu Bazar, Bada Bazaar, Haathi Pole

A trip to Udaipur is incomplete without indulging in some local shopping. Udaipur is famous for silver jewellery, wooden toys and two local specialties: bandhej fabric, and mojris . 

Bandhej, also known as bandhani or tye-dye, is a traditional form of textile dyeing that has been used in India for centuries. It is known for vivid colours and intricate designs, and the fabrics are made into clothing for men and women. Mojris, also known as mojaris – and sometimes also juttis, the Punjabi word for them – are leather shoes that have been made in India for centuries. In Rajasthan, the shoes are embroidered and the toes often curl up.  

Bapu Bazaar, Bada Bazaar, and Haathi Pole are Udaipur’s main shopping areas. All these areas are located close to one another. You can easily spend a leisurely afternoon wandering through the lanes of the bazaars.

Tip: Bargain heavily. Watch out for shopkeepers selling cheap metal for the price of silver.

Sunset at Fatehsagar Lake

Another wonderful place to see the sunset in Udaipur is at Fatehsagar Lake. About an hour before sunset, head towards the promenade of Fatehsagar Lake . The promenade around the lake is decorated with classic royal arches and in the evening they play Indian classical raga music. The ambience is charming as the sun sets over the lake and behind the hills.

Add a piping hot Kullad coffee to this scenario for a perfect end to the day. After the sun goes down, you can warm yourself up by eating Bombay Pav Bhaji at a nearby shack.

Tip: The experience at this lake is incomplete without Fatehsagar Lake coffee served in a Kullad (clay cup). 

Optional things to do in Udaipur

This two-day Udaipur itinerary will give you an outline for the best things to do, but there are many other optional activities you can add to your trip.

• Old City Heritage walk
• Jal Sanjhi workshop: Learn the art of painting where water is the canvas 
• Cooking demo along with lunch or dinner
• Lake loop bicycle tour
• Temple tour of famous Eklingji and Nagda temples (just about 30 minutes drive from Udaipur) 
• Shop at Sadhna , a woman’s co-operative store that sells clothes and textiles

Places to visit near Udaipur

Udaipur is a good base for exploring southern Rajasthan. The best things to do near Udaipur are:

Kumbhalgarh. Sometimes called The Great Wall of India, Kumbhalgarh is a massive fort dating from the 15th century and inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Ranakpur Temple. Ranakpur is a Jain temple famous for its astonishing size and beauty. Dating from the 15th century, the massive temple is made of marble and contains 1,444 marble pillars. 

Chittorgarh. The largest fort in India, Chittorgarh is the scene of many stories and legends. Highlights include the huge Victory Tower, Rani Padmini’s Palace, and Meera Bhai’s temple.

Ghanerao. Go for a walk through an ancient village and visit the Ghanerao Castle.

Dhar-Ubeshwar Trek. An all day trek that starts in a village and meanders along hilly terrain dotted with temples from Dhar to Ubeshwar.

Where to stay in Udaipur?

The city centre (the area around Jagdish Mandir) is full of hotels and hostels catering to all budgets. Even though many tourists book hotels in this area for the view of Lake Pichola, I recommend avoiding the area if you want some peace of mind – it’s busy, crowded, and can get very noisy. 

Some of my top recommendations for places to stay in Udaipur are: 

High-end luxury hotels in Udaipur

The Oberoi Udaivilas

This hotel is one of the best hotels in India, and has been voted the best in the world. The property exhibits the architectural grandeur of Udaipur and ensures that its customers experience a taste of majesty and class. The rooms and suites are tastefully decorated, beautifully blending the Rajasthani style of interior design with top-quality modern amenities. The restaurants serve delectable Rajasthani and continental food, and the staff demonstrates the superior service Oberoi is known for. This is the place to splurge if you want to experience truly luxurious service and amenities and feel like a Maharaja or Maharani.

Taj Lake Palace Hotel

The world’s most photographed hotel, Taj Lake Palace Hotel was the Maharaja of Udaipur’s summer palace until it was turned into a hotel by the Taj Group. An oasis of opulence and luxury, it rises above the lake directly across from the City Palace. Hotel residents only can enjoy the many amenities, including pool, gardens, spa, and dining rooms with spectacular views of the skyline. The fabulous rooms are individually decorated with murals and antique furniture. A very special place.

Mid-range luxury hotels in Udaipur

Jagat Niwas 

Located right on Lake Pichola, Jagat Niwas is a 17th century haveli that’s been completely renovated and updated into a luxury hotel. Many of the rooms and suites offer a view of the lake, they are all different and unique, and several feature a jharokha – enclosed balcony. The two-floor rooftop restaurant is one of the best in the city with window seating on one floor, fantastic views, and great food.

Premkunj Luxury Homestay

Premkunj is a destination homestay, a resort really, in a beautiful setting among the hills that surround Udaipur. Owner Bhupendra spent 10 years lovingly creating this gorgeous property and it ticks every box. It’s beautiful, comfortable, and has a sparkling pool. Plus, there is a large garden, several indoor and outdoor dining options, and very good food. Staying at Premkunj, among the hills, is a different experience than staying in the city. Fresh air, hiking trails on your doorstep, and stunning views make it a great option. On our list of the Best luxury getaways from Delhi .

Akshay Niwas

This is a tasteful, Rajasthani-styled boutique hotel located in a quiet spot between Lake Pichola and Fatehsagar Lake. The location of this hotel is ideal for visiting all the top tourist spots in Udaipur without the disadvantage of being trapped in the chaotic city centre of Udaipur. The service is highly personalized and the food served at the restaurant is delectable.

The amazingly carved main structure expresses a black stone image of Vishnu as Jagannath, Lord of the Universe. To reach the main shrine, one must climb 32 marble steps, obstructed by a brass image of Garuda in the end, being the mount (Vahana) of God Vishnu.

Ghats are the sequence of steps leading down to a body of water especially a holy river. They are the perfect spots which give us the opportunity to be so close to water and feel the eternal peace over there. People also contemplate Ghats as a place to take bath and wash over all their sins from the past but the Ghats of Udaipur are not prominent for these beliefs but for their elegance. There are two most famous ghats you really need to visit and spend plentiful time there: Gangaur Ghat and Ambrai Ghat . Located opposite to each other on both sides of lake pichola, the scent and serenity of these places is mesmerizing. Both the places will force you to soak beautiful and lifelong memories with their spirituality, religiousness and charm.

We also include the best places to eat, where you should stay, and all of our top tips, so that you can spend less time planning and more time enjoying this magical city.

It is no secret that we fell in love with Udaipur, the White City of India .   The serenity of the lakes and the surrounding nature, had us forgetting that we were even in a city at all.   We adored the hippie boutiques and choice of amazing restaurants . And we loved how we didn’t feel the need to always be doing something.  In fact, to find a rooftop cafe overlooking Lake Pichola was one of our favourite ways to spend the day.

We ended up spending over a week in Udaipur, and I’d like to think we know the city pretty well.  We explored all of the top tourist attractions in Udaipur, and have narrowed them down to what we believe are the best places to visit in Udaipur in 2 days.  I have also made some additional suggestions in case you have 3 days in Udaipur or more.

Anyhow, there is a lot to cover in this 2 Day Udaipur Itinerary. So let’s get to it.

Is 2 Days in Udaipur Enough?

The city of Udaipur is relatively small. Having said that, many of the top things to do in Udaipur are located outside of the city. While 2 days in Udaipur isn’t much time, by following this itinerary, you should find it enough to get acquainted with the city. You’ll certainly have enough time to cover the cities main attractions, even if it means jam-packed days.

As I mentioned earlier, we spent over a week in Udaipur; however, for most of that time, we didn’t do much at all. Thanks to its laidback vibe relative to other cities in Rajasthan, it was the ideal spot to take a little break and recharge the batteries. But, if you have limited time in India then 2 days in Udaipur is plenty.

Where to Stay with 2 Days in Udaipur

Naturally, there is no shortage of accommodation options in Udaipur, regardless of your budget or taste. Many visitors coming to Udaipur seek a lake facing hotel for the view, and with budget options available it’s worth looking into.

Most importantly, if you’re planning to spend just 2 days in Udaipur you’ll probably want to be centrally located. This way you can avoid journey time eating into your valuable sightseeing time. I’ll make some suggestions further down, or you can click the link to compare prices of all hotels, guesthouses, and hostels in the area.

2 Day Itinerary for Udaipur

From admiring the lakeside views, exploring the cities architecture, and experiencing the white cities vibrant culture, here are all the best places to visit in Udaipur in 2 Days.  I have also taken the liberty of suggesting a 2 Day Itinerary, which I believe will help allow you to make the most of your time.

2 Days in Udaipur – Day 1

OK, assuming you spent the night in Udaipur, you’ll want to be out nice and early to make the most of your day. Grab breakfast at your hotel or at one of the restaurants we recommend in our vegetarian guide to Udaipur .

Udaipur Tours

With limited time in the city, it might make sense to discover Udaipur as part of an organised tour. You tend to fit in a lot more that way while removing all the stress of having to plan everything yourself. Click the link below for a full list of best-selling tours in Udaipur.

Udaipur City Palace

It isn’t without reason that the city palace is one of the top places to visit in Udaipur in 2 days.   The grandeur marble & granite structure stands proudly as the landmark of the city, and we for one were taken aback by its sheer magnificence .   If we were to recommend just one City Palace to visit in Rajasthan, it would have to be this one.

We happily paid the entrance fee to discover what lay beneath the towering walls.  And despite being touristic inside, we loved exploring the labyrinth of walkways, courtyards, gardens and hidden rooms.   We didn’t accept the offer of a guide but found the tour interesting and educational nevertheless. Everything is in English so it’s pretty much self-explanatory.  You’ll also find great vistas over the city and surrounding lakes.

If you’re at all interested in the history of Udaipur , a visit to the city palace is an essential addition to your 2 Day Udaipur itinerary. You can read more about it in our comprehensive guide to Udaipur City Palace .

Entrance Fee :   330 IDR/pax & English Speaking Guide:   400 IDR/group *optional

Jagdish Temple

The Hindu devoted Jagdish Temple is the most significant religious building in Udaipur.   The captivating 16th-century structure serves as a dedication to Lord Vishnu (preserver of the universe), one of the principal deities of Hinduism.

We are always blown away by the intricately carved Hindu temples, depicting the tales of ancient Hindu legends, and Jagdish was no different.   After admiring the architecture, we were permitted to go inside the temple, where Brahmins and devotees were conducting a spiritual ceremony.   Although we are not religious ourselves, such encounters in India are always an empowering experience.

Entrance Fee:  Free – donations as always are welcomed.

Ahar Cenotaphs

Ahar is essentially a Royal cemetery for Udaipur’s late Maharajas. However, what might sound like a dark place on paper is, in fact, a spot of peace and serenity. Furthermore, if you are at all interested in  Rajasthani architecture , you are sure to be left in awe by the intricately carved stone tombs.

Located around 2km outside of the city, Ahar could be considered somewhat of a hidden gem.   By that I mean you are unlikely to run into many other tourists when visiting here.   Having said that, be wary of the sketchy looking locals who may try to charge you 250 rupees to use your camera within the grounds.  This is a common scam and as of 2019, there are no official fees.

For more info, check out our guide to Ahar Cenotaphs here .

Entrance Fee:  Free.

Lake Pichola

There are almost 20 lakes in Udaipur, resulting in its nickname ‘ The City of Lakes’ .  Out of the five most significant lakes, most of them are artificial and one, in particular, is the second-largest artificial lake in Asia.

Lake Pichola is the most well-known lake in Udaipur, and a lot of the action goes on around it.  Boasting a jaw-dropping backdrop of the Aravalli mountain range, I’d freely say it’s one of the most picturesque and serene locations in all of India. A variety of lake-facing hotels , ghats, restaurants, and rooftop bars surround the lake, so you can enjoy the view from several different vantage points.

Our favourite time of day to appreciate Lake Pichola was around sunset.  After a long day of sightseeing, enjoying a cold beer over one of the best sunset spots in Udaipur is a perfect end to the day.  We list some of our favourite place to eat and drink further down in the article so be sure to check it out.

Insiders Tip:  Sunsets on the west side of the lake.  We took this shot from Sun N Moon rooftop!

Dinner at Namaste Cafe

Namaste Cafe is one of our favourite vegetarian restaurants in Udaipur , and the incredible ‘all you can eat’ Thali is our favourite thing on the menu.   You can choose from either a traditional or Rajasthani Thali – both are vegetarian & equally delicious.

If you are visiting in the evening, be sure to check out the rooftop.   Adorned in fairy lights and overlooking a wonderful view of the city and lake, you’re guaranteed a night, and meal, to remember.

2 Days in Udaipur – Day 2

Ok day 2, and it’s set to be another busy day. We will start the day with breakfast at our favourite cafe, and move on to see some of the best places to visit in Udaipur in 2 days. So let’s get to it.

Grasswood Cafe

Grasswood was our go-to cafe every morning for breakfast, and sometimes even lunch, dinner, & dessert too! We adored their healthy, vegan-friendly menu, including delicious smoothies, salads, sandwiches, and cakes.   The coffee is also the best we found in the city.

*Travellers Discount – As well as the tasty food we were impressed with the kind hospitality.   We became such regular customers that the owner, Ashish, began giving us a discount on our orders. What’s even more generous, is that he agreed to give the same discount to our followers too.   Just mention our blog if you visit and you will get a small discount on your order.

Monsoon Palace

When you arrive in Udaipur and spot the ethereal looking castle stood proudly in the hills; that my friends is the Monsoon Palace.  This is one of the places you must visit when spending 2 days in Udaipur.    The palace once served as a royal residence to the Mewar dynasty and located 944m above sea level provides incredible panoramic views over the city.    It is famed for being one of the best spots to watch the sunset in Udaipur . Although we visited in the morning so didn’t get to witness this for ourselves.

It is important to note, that whichever transport you take to the palace, you can only go as far as the entrance gate at the bottom of the hill.  From there, you have the option to pay for the palace jeep or walk to the palace. It was a beautiful morning, and we’d indulged in unlimited Thali the night before, so we figured we would walk. To reach the top takes around 1-hr walking at a moderate pace; however, you may need to stop for breaks as it’s an uphill road the entire way.

Personally, we enjoyed the challenge as well as the scenic views the route provided. Despite a few warnings of wildlife in the area, we encountered no bother. You should, however, be wary of the colony of langurs that occupy the palace grounds.  If you have food on show, they aren’t shy about snatching it from you. Check out our comprehensive guide to the Monsoon Palace here .

Entrance Fee:  300 Rs./pax + 100 Rs/pax for Jeep *optional

Fateh Sagar Lake

Another lake to add to your list of places to visit in Udaipur in 2 days is Fateh Sagar Lake.  In comparison to Lake Pichola, this lake is incredibly peaceful.     As a result, it is the perfect spot to escape the hustle and bustle of the city.

What we loved most about this lake, is the surrounding nature.   Not only do you have the staggering view of the mountains, but the perimeter of the lake is adorned with verdant gardens.   We recommend checking out Sunset Point Park and Maharana Pratap Samarak.

Karni Mata Temple

Karni Mata Temple is a relatively small temple complex positioned atop a hill in the city.  Although the temple itself is only small & modest, it is the astounding views from the peak that make this an essential addition to your 2 Day Udaipur Itinerary.

To reach the peak, you must either walk the stairs or take the cable car. Despite being nervous about cable cars (especially in India), we took it so we wouldn’t miss the sunset. It was perfectly fine and the views on the way up intensified the higher we climbed.

By the time we reached the top, the sun was starting to set, casting a glorious golden glow over the city.   Thankfully it wasn’t too crowded, so we managed to grab ourselves front row seats for one of the best sunsets we witnessed in India.

When visiting the Karni Mata Temple , please keep in mind that it is a place of worship. Even if you are only visiting for sunset, it’s important to act respectfully. Here are some things to consider.

• Keep shoulders and legs below the knee covered at all times.
• Remove your shoes before entering the temple.
• There is a ‘no photography’ policy in most temples; however, you could ask the priest for permission.

Entrance Fee: Free.  Cable Car – 100 Rs/pax return.

Bagore Ki Haveli Night Show

For a taste of true Rajasthani culture, the evening performance at Bagore Ki Haveli is something you cannot miss when spending 2 days in Udaipur    Set in the courtyard of a magnificent haveli, the show incorporates traditional folk dance and local talent.

We were not too sure what to expect when we arrived at the show.   (Late may I add, and there was no discount for having to stand at the back). However, without giving too much away, we found ourselves transfixed by the dancers and musicians.   This was, without a doubt, one of our favourite things to do in Udaipur.  

Entrance Fee:  150 Rs/pax + additional 150 Rs to use a camera including phones (You didn’t hear this from us but If you are careful you can get away with not paying the camera charge).

Places to Visit in Udaipur in 3 Days

If you plan to spend more than 2 days in the city, here are some other suggestions for places you can visit in Udaipur in 3 days or more.

If you’re not already ‘laked-out’ , Lake Badi is another beautiful lake worth visiting in Udaipur.  It’s even more peaceful than Fateh Sagar Lake, but with the same breath-taking views.  We rented a bicycle in central Udaipur to explore the lake, and it was a really pleasant experience.  To view the lake from above you can climb to a viewpoint on Bahubali Hill .

Neemach Mata Temple

We were told about this temple on our last day in Udaipur and having visited all the other sunset spots, we decided to check it out. A tuk-tuk dropped us at the foot of the hill, and we had to climb a steep set of stairs to reach the top. There are rumours that they will install a cable car soon; however, I figure this is quite a long way off. Either way, unless you’re afraid of a short workout, the stairs are perfectly fine.

Having heard very little about Neemach Mata Temple, we didn’t have too high of expectations for the view. Therefore, we were pleasantly surprised by the spectacular panoramic vistas that welcomed us at the top. Here you can enjoy views of the city, its various lakes, and surrounding mountain landscapes, so if you find yourself at a loose end one evening, it’s definitely a sunset spot worth checking out.

Traditional Yoga Class

While India is the home of yoga, the spiritual energy in Udaipur makes it the perfect environment to practice.     For a traditional yet challenging yoga class, we highly recommend Prakash Yoga .   Prakash is an incredible teacher and will help you to achieve postures you possibly have never done before.  This may not be a class for somebody who’s never done yoga before, but if you are a regular at yoga, definitely check it out.

Price: Prakash relies on a donation only as payment; however, be sure to pay what you think is fair for the class .

Creativity can be found in abundance in Udaipur and taking part in an art class is a unique way to spend your time in the city.  

Located within Hotel Gangaur Palace, the Ashoka Arts class comes highly recommended.   Using natural paints and silk material, the teacher will guide you to complete a traditional Rajasthani painting.

Price : 400 Rs. per class

Sunset Boat Cruise

One of the most romantic experiences you can have when spending 2 or 3 Days in Udaipur is to take a sunset boat cruise on Lake Pichola. Not only can you experience the sensational views, but it may be your only opportunity to catch a close-up glimpse of the luxury Taj Lake Palace.   Unfortunately, we missed out on our sunset boat cruise after getting sick; however, it’s at the top of our list for when we return.

Price:   While there are several ghats in Udaipur where you can catch the boat, for the best price, we were advised to catch the boat from Lal Ghat.   From there, a shared boat is around 300 rs/pax while a private boat is approx. 1500 rs.

Taj Lake Palace Hotel

Now, this, of course, highly depends on your budget;   however, spending a night or 2 at the Taj Palace hotel is the ultimate Udaipur experience.   The 17th century, marble structure once served as a palace for the Mewar Dynasty.   It was later converted into a luxury hotel in the 1960s.

The majestic palace sits seemingly floating in the middle of Lake Pichola, alluring you with its beauty & elegance.   Our experience at the Taj Palace hotel was like no other… Who am I kidding?   Our backpacker budget would never stretch to this.   Maybe one day.

Insiders Tip : There are several other lake facing hotels in Udaipur that won’t break the bank.

Movie Nights

A fun fact about Udaipur is that many Bollywood and Hollywood movies have been filmed there.  The one you are most likely to be familiar with is James Bond ‘Octopussy’ and the city is clearly very proud of its Hollywood legacy.  

S pecial showings of ‘Octopussy’ can be seen, every day might I add, at a number of rooftop bars and restaurants.   We aren’t Bond fans so we didn’t catch a viewing but I can imagine it would be pretty cool if you were!

Shopping & Markets

Shopping is without a doubt one of the most popular things to do in Udaipur.   Adorned with cute shops and alluring boutiques, the city is oozing with temptation.   Udaipur is also famed for its excellent tailoring stores, so if you’re looking for a sharp suit or similar, this is the place to get it.

Places to Visit in Udaipur in 1 Day

While we wouldn’t recommend spending only one-day in Udaipur, if it’s necessary it can be done.  You’ll just need to start as early as sunrise and come home after sunset, so it will be a long day but you’ll get to cover most of the highlights. This is my recommended places to visit in Udaipur in 1 Day.

• Sunrise: Karni Mata Temple
• Morning: Monsoon Palace
• Late Morning: Fateh Sagar Lake Gardens
• Lunch: Lunch in the City Overlooking Lake Pichola
• Afternoon:  Ahar Cenotaphs
• Sunset:  Sunset Dinner at Namaste Cafe
• Evening :  Bagore Ki Haveli Show

The Best Bars & Restaurants in Udaipur

With so many places to visit in Udaipur in 2 days, you can expect to leave your hotel before sunrise and return after sunset.  To avoid burning out, it pays to eat well and keep hydrated! At the same time, food is a huge part of the Udaipur experience, so check out our favourite restaurants & rooftop bars for the best food and drink in the city.

• Grasswood Cafe: Best For Healthy Breakfast
• Namaste Cafe:  Best For Local Food

Tips for Sightseeing in Udaipur

Here are some useful tips that I hope will enhance your travel experience in Udaipur.

Best Time to Visit Udaipur

The best time to visit Udaipur is during the India Winter which runs from October to February.  During this time you can expect perfect sightseeing weather – Ie. temperatures are cooler and there is very little rain.   If you are sensitive to the heat, you may wish to keep mornings and late afternoons free for sightseeing, as lunchtime gets hot all year round.   It’s recommended to avoid Udaipur during the months of Summer or Monsoon.  

How to Get to Udaipur

AIR:  Udaipur Airport is located around 20KM from the city centre.   Daily domestic flights are available from most major airports throughout the country.

TRAIN:  Udaipur is well connected via train from most major destinations throughout the country; however, booking trains in India can be tricky.   It is advised to book at least 3 days in advance and even then you aren’t always guaranteed a ticket.  For this reason, we always used the bus network in India. You can book trains up to 6 months in advance using 12go Asia.

BUS:  Udaipur is accessible by bus from a number of destinations across India.   To check routes, timetables and ticket prices we recommend using redbus.com .   In our experience, they are extremely reliable.   They are one of the few companies who will accept payment with an International card, and they are contactable by phone should you have any issues with your journey.

Getting Around Udaipur

If you are spending just 2 days in Udaipur, the easiest and cheapest way to get around is by scooter .   The cost to rent a scooter is around 500 rs. for 24hrs; however, be aware that the Udaipur traffic can be intimidating if you’re not experienced.    You will need to have an International Drivers License should you be pulled over by police, and always wear a helmet!   

Another option is to get around using taxis or tuk-tuks.   This can be cost-effective if you are in a group, but be sure to haggle as the drivers are opportunists when it comes to tourists.    

Finally, OLA TAXIS operate in the city.   Ola is an app similar to Uber and we found the service extremely reliable.   As well as single journeys, you have the option to hire a car for half of the day or even a full day, and it’s almost always cheaper than a tuk-tuk.  

Parties in Udaipur

While there isn’t much going on in terms of parties in Udaipur, there are a select few bars which serve alcohol.  Our personal favourite was Sun & Moon where we would enjoy a few quiet beers while the sunset.  They also seemed pretty relaxed about people smoking weed in there too.

While we do not condone taking drugs, if you are looking to get high, you can guarantee you will be approached by numerous tuk-tuk drivers in Udaipur looking to sell.

Social Etiquette in Udaipur

Rajasthan is one of the holiest and most socially conservative states in all of India. It’s important to keep in mind that what might be socially acceptable in your home country, is likely to be viewed entirely different here. Thankfully, most Indians are forgiving toward foreigners to a certain extent; however, to avoid unwanted attention and embarrassment, it’s good to know the dos and don’ts. In which case, I recommend this article regarding  social etiquette in India , which includes dress codes, table manners, temple etiquette etc.

At the same time, you’ll likely be surprised by some of the aspects of Indian culture. And in all honestly, you’ll probably be offended from time to time. But again, it’s important to remember that the culture is entirely different from the western world, and embracing the unique Indian culture is all part and parcel of the experience.

Be Aware of Scams

It pays to make yourself aware of the  common scams in India , so in turn, you can avoid them. There are also known to be skilled pickpockets operating in Jaipur so be sure to keep your valuables secured at all time. We use either a small padlock or compartmental bag to keep our valuables safe.

We recommend educating yourself on  Travel Safety in India  to help you avoid any sticky situations.

Recommended Apps to Download for Udaipur

• Maps.Me : For offline maps – Just be sure you download the relevant map in a WiFi zone.
• Google Translate Offline :  In tricky language barrier situations, this could be your saving grace.
• OLA Taxi App : Because they are cheaper than most local taxis or tuk-tuks.

Wonderfull blog thank you

Thank you for the compliment!

Thanks For Writing Such a nice Blog.

Glad you enjoyed it, thank you!

Hi You wouldn’t include the City Palace in the one-day itinerary? I’m going to stop at Monsoon Palace on the way down from Jodhpur so do you think I’d have time to swap in the Citp Palace instead on your 1 day itinerary?

Hi Petal, yes absolutely swap it if that’s your preference. Hope you have a great time!

Amazing resource and stunning photos – thank you!

Hi Patricia, so glad you enjoyed the article!

Visiting Udaipur at the end of March and with so much to read, consider and plan – your information has been so incredibly helpful – we’ve made so many notes…thank you.

I hope you don’t mind a question or two – we need a car/driver to get us from Udaipur to Shahpura Bagh. Would you be able to recommend a driver/company ?

Would we be crazy to try to visit Chittorgarh Fort on the way from Udaipur to Shahpura Bagh ? We would probably only have about two hours to see it.

Kind regards, Colin & Johanna

Hi Colin, I’m so happy to read this article has been helpful for you. I’m late getting back to you so hope you got sorted with the car rental. I’d be interested to know if you made it to Chittorgah Fort? All the best!

The Best 2-Day Udaipur Itinerary

Nicknamed the city of lakes, Udaipur is a beautiful place to visit in India. But there’s certainly more to Udaipur than just these picture-perfect bodies of water. You can also visit stunning palaces, amazing temples, delicious restaurants, and fabulous viewpoints. You can enjoy all of these Udaipur highlights during this fantastic 2-day Udaipur itinerary.

That said, remember that this itinerary is just a structured suggestion. So feel free to add, remove, or rearrange any part of this itinerary to better suit your needs.

Udaipur Itinerary Day 1: Visit the Most Popular Highlights

From palaces to lakes to temples, day 1 of this Udaipur itinerary is jam-packed with amazing things to do in the city center!

Explore the City Palace Museum

To start your first day of this Udaipur itinerary, you’ll head to the most popular attraction in town: the City Palace Museum.

Technically, the City Palace is composed of 11 separate palaces, along with the courtyards and squares connecting them all. People typically visit the part of the palace complex that has been turned into a museum, which is filled with all sorts of royal memorabilia.

But you can visit more than just the museum portion of the City Palace. While not all of this attraction is accessible to the public, at the very least you can visit Fateh Prakash Palace and Shiv Niwas Palace, as they have both been converted into hotels. On top of that, many of the greenery-filled courtyards are open to the public as well.

Take a Ride on Lake Pichola

The City Palace Museum is located right on Lake Pichola, the second stop on this amazing Udaipur itinerary. While you can certainly stroll along its banks, we recommend taking a boat ride on Lake Pichola. Along the way, you’ll also get to see many of Udaipur’s best sites.

Stop by Gangaur Ghat

In order to understand the significance of Gangaur Ghat, you first have to understand what a ghat is. Ghats are steps that lead to a river or lake. That alone guarantees that they’ll have amazing views. But ghats are significant, because they are used to hold many Hindu festivals. So not only are they great viewpoints, they are cultural and religious landmarks as well.

Gangaur Ghat is the most popular ghat in Udaipur. While there, you can simply take in the incredible views of Lake Pichola. And if you’re lucky, you can watch and maybe even participate in a Hindu festival.

Pop By Bagore Ki Haveli

Right next door to Gangaur Ghat is Bagore Ki Haveli. A haveli is basically a historic mansion, and they are spread all across the city. Bagore Ki Haveli was originally built for Shri Amarchand Badwa, the Prime Minister of Mewar (the region) for 27 years! When Shri Amarchand Badwa passed away, the haveli then passed onto the Mewar Royal Family.

Today, Bagore Ki Haveli has been transformed into a cultural museum. While there, you can see everything from turbans to weapons to puppets to glasswork. If you time it right, you can even see a cool cultural show!

Visit Jagdish Temple

After you finish up at Bagore Ki Haveli, you can make the short walk to Jagdish temple. There are both Jain temples and Hindu temples dotted throughout Udaipur, but Jagdish temple is an example of the latter.

With dozens of Hindu temples in Udaipur, you may be wondering what sets Jagdish temple apart. For the most part, it’s popularity is due to its intricate carvings of Hindu deities and two large elephant structures at the entrance.

And once you step inside, the creativity continues! With colorfully painted walls, rhythmic chanting, and beautiful singing, Jagdish Temple is absolutely amazing.

Do note that it’s tradition to walk clockwise through the temple. Locals believe that’ll bring you a bit of good luck!

Catch the Sunset from Ambrai Ghat

If you enjoyed the stop at Gangaur Ghat in the morning, you’ll definitely like the visit to Ambrai Ghat at sunset. The ghats in Udaipur are always gorgeous viewpoints, but, with the golden glow of sunset, they’re particularly breathtaking.

Dine at One of the Best Restaurants in Town

Udaipur is filled with fabulous restaurants. While you can dine on traditional Rajasthani food, you can also enjoy international food as well.

Our first recommendation is Upré by 1559 AD. This lovely restaurant is located on a terrace overlooking the beautiful Lake Pichola. And while the atmosphere is amazing, it’s the food that really sells it. While you can order an international favorite, we recommend trying one of the local dishes, like laal maans (mutton in a spicy Indian sauce), safed murg (chicken in yogurt, cashews, and poppy seeds), or govind gatta curry (dumplings in a tomato onion sauce).

Ambrai is another fantastic Udaipur restaurant. Situated right on Lake Pichola (and right next to Ambrai Ghat), it’s absolutely picture-perfect. You’ll actually be able to see a couple of stops that you visited earlier in the day, including Ganguar Ghat and the City Palace. As for what to order, you can’t go wrong with the chicken jhangiri (chicken in an Ambrai specialty sauce) or the aloo chatni wala (stuffed potatoes with a mint, mango sauce).

Udaipur Itinerary Day 2: Explore A Bit Further Beyond

Day 1 of this Udaipur itinerary crossed off all of the best Udaipur sites. So day 2 allows you to venture out a bit further and see sights that aren’t in the heart of the city.

Admire the Ekling Ji Temple

First stop: Ekling Ji Temple! You’ll have to drive a bit out of the way to get to this Hindu temple, but once you get a glimpse of it, you’ll understand why it’s worth the 21 kilometre drive.

This massive temple was built in 734 BC. Rather than being just one temple, the Ekling Ji Temple is actually a collection of 108 temples of varying sizes.

Unfortunately, you can’t visit all 108 temples – both due to accessibility and time constraints – but there’s still loads to do! You can visit the fifty-foot-tall black marble Shiva statue, admire the thousands of intricate carvings, and maybe even experience a spiritual breakthrough.

Pay Your Respects at the Ahar Cenotaphs

The Ahar Cenotaphs is another Udaipur site that’s a bit out of the way but worth the drive. But in order to understand why it’s worth it, you first have to know what a cenotaph is.

Simply put, a cenotaph is a monument created for those who are buried elsewhere. Typically, cenotaphs are used to honor those who have died in war, but that is not the case for those represented at the Ahar Cenotaphs.

The Ahar Cenotaphs were built in honor of the Mewar maharajas (royals from the region). There are 372 memorial cenotaphs created over a 400-year period. Today, many people visit these intricately carved memorials in order to pay their respects to those who have passed.

It is important to note that, despite the fact that the Ahar Cenotaphs have become a popular Instagram photo spot, visitors are actually not supposed to take pictures at the Ahar Cenotaphs. This rule is put in place to help visitors to be respectful.

Stroll Along Fateh Sagar

Next up Fateh Sagar. While Lake Pichola is by far the most famous lake in town, Fateh Sagar is nothing to balk at either.

There are three islands in the center of the lake that are definitely worth a visit. While on these islands, you can pop by the Udaipur Solar Observatory and explore the thriving Nehru Garden.

But you don’t have to sail to these islands to take in the beauty of Fateh Sagar. As a matter of fact, there are loads of things to do on the banks of the lake as well. You can stop and smell the flowers at the Saheliyon ki Bari gardens, relax at Guru Gobind Singh Park, or simply admire the wonderful views.

Pop by Swaroop Lake

But there’s more than just two lakes in town! After all, Udaipur is called the city of lakes. There’s also Swaroop Lake (or Swaroop Sagar). While Swaroop Lake is the smallest of the three lakes on this itinerary, it’s no less stunning.

There are loads of restaurants, parks, and temples lining Swaroop Lake. If you have time to spare, you can certainly visit a few of them. That said, we’d simply recommend finding a place to sit and watching the brightly colored sunset paint the sky.

Delight in Another Delicious Dinner

Odds are, there’s more than one restaurant in Udaipur that you want to try. Day 2 is the perfect time to try another one on your list!

If you’re looking for an incredible restaurant on Swaroop Lake, we recommend Tribute. With live music, a romantic atmosphere, and delicious food, it’s definitely top-notch. Try the laal maans (mutton in a spicy Indian sauce), chicken jhol (chicken curry), or aloo gobhi matar (a vegetarian Indian curry).

And that rounds out our 2-day Udaipur itinerary. If you have any questions, let us know in the comments! Enjoy!

12 awesome places to visit in udaipur in 2 days.

Udaipur is known as the “city of lakes” due to the beautiful lakes that surround it. Well worth visiting on any India backpacking adventure !

If you find yourself in wondering what to do in Udaipur for 2 days , then this guide has got you sorted!

And as well as the best things to do, it's packed full of other useful travel tips for planning your stay here. Such as when to go, where to stay and where to head to after.

It’s pretty much a full-throttle Udaipur travel guide!

Let's get started ...

Travellerspoint

Where to stay in Udaipur

Based on our experience, the best place to stay in Udaipur is just on the outskirts of the city . We stayed at a hotel called Treebo Trend Park Classic ; which is situated just outside of the main city centre. It's a quick 10 minute ride into the heart of the action, but you also have the choice to completely skip it out when exploring places to visit just outside Udaipur.

Location-wise, this hotel was great; but it certainly fell short in a number of other areas. Including customer service, dining and cleanliness.

Instead, here's a look at some much better accommodation in Udaipur, all designed to suit different budgets ...

Best Airbnb - Dera Baghdarrah Luxury Wildlife Camp

Located 20km outside of the city, this is perhaps the most unique and mesmerising place to stay in Udaipur. Sure, you will need to travel back into the city to see the sites; however this camp offers a whole new experiencein itself! The camp is located on the banks of Bagdara Lake, nestled wonderfully within a nature reserve. The camp was set up as a joint venture with the states Forestry Department, offering guests the chance to get up close and personal and live amongst the wildlife. You get to stay in your own private glamping tent and can opt for a package stay which includes all of your meals.

Budget Choice - Hostel Mantra

Located in Udaipur's Old City, it's the perfect choice if you're backpacking through India and are looking for a fun place to meet people and enjoy Udaipur's night life. The hostel is within walking distance of a number of bars, shops and restaurants and they offer a range of both dorm rooms and private rooms. So great if you are travelling as a couple and still want a bit of privacy (like us!).

Mid-range option - Trident Udaipur

Located just 5 miles from the city centre, this is the perfect location that we recommend for escaping the main noise of the city, but still being close enough to grab a quick taxi ride in. Compared to Western standards, this place offers PHENOMENAL value for money , and is nothing short of a 5 star resort! It's spread over a 43 acre site, right besides the gorgeous Pichola Lake. There is a huge outdoor pool and relaxation area, as well as 3 on-site restaurants.

Luxury pick - The Oberoi Udaivilas Udaipur

All across India, Oberoi hotels are some of the finest and most awe inspiring hotels you will find. Their Udaipur site is easily one of the finest, situated on the banks of Lake Pichola, spread across a 50 acre site, and designed in magnificent style to mimic the famous palaces of India . The 2 outdoor pools are heated and there are all of the luxuries and mod-cons you would expect including outdoor spa, high quality on-site restaurants and traditional outdoor music. Seriously, just check this place out!

Getting around Udaipur

There are many options for getting around Udaipur, including...

• Uber and Ola - Super convenient and a really cheap way to get around. Having a local sim is useful, that way you can use your data to order them from anywhere. We found that Airtel is the best network, and it’s super cheap to get a sim- you’ll just need your passport, visa and a passport photo and head into any Airtel store. ‍
• Tuk-Tuks - These can be rented via Uber and Ola too, or you can negotiate direct with a driver. A good thing to do is look on Ola and see how much the journey is supposed to be, then you’ll have a rough idea of what’s fair when you’re haggling for a price. Generally, you go 50 rupees higher than what the Ola says and you’ll probably come to a fair deal. ‍
• Moped - You can easily rent mopeds in Udaipur. There are vendors all over the main city advertising it and it’s cheap and fuss-free. They will take either your driving licence (don’t give your passport) or a deposit. This is how we got around, as a moped gives you more flexibility to visit the other lakes and sites we’ve spoken about without a time limit. If you have just 2 days in Udaipur and want to see all the brilliant places I recommended, then a moped is a good shout.
• Organised tour - If you don't feel comfortable riding a moped, and arranging your own transport fills you with dread, then it may be best to book onto a scheduled private tour each day. Such as this full day tour here which takes you to many of the best sites in Udaipur mentioned below. Plus, you get a nice air-conditioned car to sit in and a guide who can give you more information about each site as you are there.

The best places to visit in Udaipur India

Now for the good part, the top places to visit in Udaipur in 2 days! I will take you through the various places we visited, and some places we didn’t quite make it too. Because we work when travelling, it can cut our “sightseeing” time short, but if you’re just travelling, then you will manage all these sights with two days in Udaipur.

As with any 2 days trip, things are going to be busy, but this list is full of great places to go in Udaipur that really very little should be missed. Start your day early to take full advantage of what Udaipur has to offer.

1. City Palace

The Udaipur City Palace is one of the main, (if not the main) attraction in Udaipur and it should definitely be on your list of places to visit in Udaipur in 2 days. It will take around an hour or so to explore this beautiful palace and it’s a cheap experience.

It opens from 9.30 am to 5.30 pm, and Bradley and I went at 4 and had enough time. It can get super busy, but if you go super early you might be able to beat the crowds. The palace complex itself is beautiful and there is a restaurant that serves actual gold coffee (As you can imagine, that's kind of expensive!)

I would recommend getting a guide to tell you all the stories and history of the place. It’s not expensive and whilst everything is in English, you still miss out on some of the essences without a guide.

Cost:   INR 300 (for foreigners)

Tour Option:  Unique city palace tour with a night show

‍ 2. Lake Pichola

Pichola Lake is an artificial freshwater lake and one of the largest and oldest lakes in Udaipur. It is famous for its scenic beauty & surroundings. Basically, it’s the tourist hotspot and it offers some fabulous dining options with a beautiful view of the lake. We dined at one of the restaurants near the lake for sunset dinner and drinks and it was well priced, great staff and good cocktails, plus the view were beautiful.

For the life of me I can’t remember the name of it, but I am pretty sure it was on the first page of Tripadvisor for restaurants near lake Pichola. I think the lake is best appreciated in the evening, so make sure you include it in your Udaipur 2 day itinerary. This is one of the best places to visit in Udaipur at night.

You can hire a boat for the day and go to the lake, or you can even take a sunset boat ride which whilst I didn’t do it, sounds pretty romantic.

Tour Option: Udaipur city day tour + Lake Pichola

3. Jagdish temple

This is a fabulous Hindu temple just outside the city palace. It’s dedicated to Vishnu (preserver of the universe). You’ll naturally see this site on your journey to the temple.

Tour Option: Cheap walking tour to Jagdish Temple

4. Fateh Sagar Lake

Another essential lake on your list of awesome places to visit in Udaipur in 2 days.

It’s located north of Pichola lake and is just as beautiful. It may even be considered more beautiful due to the fact there are fewer tourists there. Around sunset, you will see lots of local families standing around ready to admire the beautiful view, and you should too!

There are a couple of street food vendors around if you’re feeling peckish.

5. Monsoon Palace

If you seek beautiful views of Udaipur from above, then this is a great spot to visit. You can get an organised tour packages here from any of the tour agencies, rent a tuk-tuk or taxi, or rent your own moped to get up there. It’s on a hilltop so naturally offers panoramic views of Udaipur. Unfortunately, this is something I REALLY wanted to do, but couldn’t do, so please include it on your places to visit in Udaipur list and tell me what it was like! It’s open from 8 am to 6 pm.

Cost: 80 for foreigners/ 10 for locals

*Important note* You have to pay to enter the park that surrounds it.

Tour option: Half day tour to Monsoon Palace + Wild Life Sanctuary

6. Gulab Bagh and Zoo

This is the largest garden in Udaipur spreading over 100 acres, so if you like nature and beauty, this is a good place to visit in Udaipur. As a rose lover, this place will also delight you, there are LOTS of varieties of beautiful roses. Aside from the gardens, there is also a zoo on-site which is good for entertaining children. The zoo is open from 8.30am to 6 pm whereas the gardens are supposedly 24 hours.

Cost:   25 per person for Entry to the Garden/ 5 per person for Zoo Entry Fee/ 15 for Camera Fee (only for the zoo)

7. Udaipur Solar Observatory

Another spot I wanted to visit but didn’t get the chance to visit was the Udaipur Solar Observatory. (Well, I drove past it on the moped- does that count? :P ) It’s open from 10 am to 6 pm and there is no entrance fee. It’s regarded as the best solar observing site in Asia and since it’s on the lake, it’s probably best seen from afar.

8. Biological park

This is located just below the monsoon palace, and it’s the place I was saying you get charged to go into because you are going through it to get to the palace. (Or if someone knows different then tell me, but the guard insisted that’s what happens) It’s a zoological park filled with wildlife and plants galore. If you’re heading to the Monsoon Palace anyway, then I guess it’s worth a stop.

Cost: 300 for foreign tourists / 30 for local and there is a camera charge too

‍ 9. Markets

There are lots of chance to buy presents in Udaipur and there are lots of markets happening every day. I got myself my “famous” blue skirt in Udaipur for a couple of pounds. I say famous because you’ll notice I wear it a lot in my Indian travel photos . (I had a green skirt from home, but it ripped). Just wander around the main tourist area which is near the city palace and you'll naturally go by lots of markets.

10. Marvel Waterpark

Fancy something truly different whilst in Udaipur? Then add the Marvel Waterpark to your list of places to visit in Udaipur in two days. It’s cheap, cheerful and has very mixed reviews. Our plan was to go here, but we decided against it in the end, so I would love to know what people thought if they went.

I mean, for the price of 400 for adults and 250 for children, it’s not exactly a big loss if you hate it!

11. Lake Badi

When it comes to Udaipur tourist places, this one doesn't always make the list, but I don't understand why.

Without a doubt, my favourite lake in all of Udaipur. It’s quiet, beautiful, peaceful and you might want to spend all your time there. We visited twice and it’s a beautiful place to catch a sunset. I am so glad there aren’t many tourists here, because it truly feels like it’s just you (and the massive monkeys).

When you have a moped it’s easy to reach here. You can also “hike” above the lake to a viewing point, but I’ve only ever seen pictures on Instagram of this happening, so if you’ve done it, tell me!

Tour Option: Morning cycling tour to Lake Badi + more

12. Rent a moped and explore

Renting a moped is definitely the best way to see all that Udaipur has to offer. We decided to take ourselves well outside the city area on a day trip and see what other temples and views were on offer.

We visited Sas Bahu Temple and Shri Eklong Ji Temple, both of which were worth a drive. One temple was under construction and the other was totally abandoned and no way in, so we simply walked on top of it and looked in. Still worth exploring and seeing something different.

Udaipur two day itinerary

So, let’s break this two day Udaipur itinerary up into two actual days. Here’s what I recommend.

Places to visit in Udaipur: Day 1

• City Palace
• Sunset dinner at Lake Pichola
• Jagdish temple
• Monsoon Palace
• Biological Gardens
• Gulab Bagh and Zoo

Places to visit in Udaipur: Day 2

• Renting a moped and exploring outside Udaipur
• Marvel Waterpark in morning
• Fateh Sagar Lake
• Udaipur Solar Observatory

Udaipur itinerary 3 days

If you've got more than 2 days in Udaipur, then you can easily slow these places do and add other places to visit in Udaipur in 3 days. But, if you start your day early, then you can easily see all these awesome places to visit in Udaipur in 2 days.

Extra for 3 day itinerary in Udaipur

Day trip to kumbhalgarah fort.

You will see this advertised in all the tour agents in Udaipur, and it can be done as a full or half day trip. It’s a fabulous fort and it looks very interesting. We didn’t have time, and you would only be able to do it if you had 3 days in Udaipur.

Other Udaipur Travel tips and FAQ

How do you get to udaipur.

You can get to Udaipur via bus, plane or train.

Flights: You can get flights to Udaipur from all major airports, such as Mumbai and Delhi. Bradley and I flew from Mumbai and it cost around £35. It was only an hour flight, and I had enough of doing overnight train journeys, so it was totally worth it. From the airport, you can get an Uber to your hotel in Udaipur. Check Skyscanner for the best deals.

Train: You can get a train from all over the country to Udaipur. I recommend travelling in 2nd Class AC (although 3rd class AC is also doable, just no privacy). Buy your tickets at the station or a ticket agent to get the best price, and if a train is sold out online, then go to the train station as they typically have some seats left.

Bus: Buses are frequent around India and you can easily book a bus online with red bus. There is no need to print anything and you can track your bus which is quite convenient. Buses will be similar to a train price, if not cheaper.

We suggest using 12GoAsia for travel needs across India! 

When is the best time to visit Udaipur?

The best time to visit Udaipur is during the winter season. The temperature is more comfortable and it’s actually the peak tourist season for both locals and foreigners making their way through the cultural triangle. So, this makes the best months to visit as September, October, November, December, February and March.

How long should I stay in Udaipur?

Well this a two-day post, so naturally I would say two days it quite adequate, especially if you are on a strict timeline. You couldn’t see it all in a day, actually, a day would be wasteful because Udaipur is most beautiful when you explore outside of the city. You could easily stay here 3 days or more, depending on your itinerary. But India is a big country and if you’re taking it all on, then two days is where it’s at!

If you're looking for places to visit in Udaipur in 1 day, then I would recommend just choosing 4 things from this list and focusing on that.

Udaipur has got a good variety of ATMs. If you use a Revolut card ( a travel card that gives you the best exchange rate on the market- so why not!?) then use the Bank of Baroda, as it doesn’t charge you for withdrawals. There is one or two in Udaipur. Most restaurants and hotels take card too and even the markets, but it’s best to have some small change for haggling or tuk-tuk fares.

Where to go after Udaipur

If you’re heading towards the cultural triangle, then I recommend hitting up Jodhpur next. It’s an easy bus ride away and there is a great guy in Udaipur who can organise buses and trains for the rest of your trip. He takes a 50 pence commission, so it’s worth the convenience, plus he can find you trains which are a nightmare to find anyway. Trains book up super quick. He’s a super friendly guy and the one we used, so I shan’t complain!

The bus he booked us to Jodhpur was super comfortable, clean and modern.

I hope you’ve enjoyed my post on the 12 awesome places to visit in Udaipur in 2 days. If you’ve got anything else you think I should add to the list, then let me know. Happy travels!

Getting around Udaipur :

Uber and Ola: Both are available in Udaipur and can be booked through an app from a smartphone. This is the best option so as to avoid bargaining and the fear of being charged more for short distances. Taxis are the best for going out of the city and one can keep track on a map.

Auto-Rickshaw or E-Rickshaw : Similar to taxis, these are open on both sides and need to be hailed manually. Though autos are now available on Uber and Ola as well, there are places with no network or internet connectivity and one has to depend on the good old manual hailing that requires negotiations.

2-wheelers on rent – You can easily rent 2-wheelers or bikes in Udaipur. There are shops in many places offering these services. Gearless and with-gear vehicles can be rented after giving a security deposit. The rent varies from Rs.300 – 500 per day.

Udaipur Heritage Walk – Heritage walk is a great way to explore the city with local guides who show tourists the offbeat places and explain the history behind them. It is a no-brainer where the visitor simply joins a heritage tour from a specified location for a specified duration. Generally, these tours are walking tours.

2 Days in Udaipur- Best Itinerary :

now let’s take you to the best places to visit in Udaipur in 2 days along with a complete travel guide. I know, 2 days in Udaipur isn’t enough or it can be a bit hectic to cover all of them, but you can surely maximize your time in Udaipur to cover all the best places in Udaipur.

Day 1 of Best Places to Visit in Udaipur in 2 days

Jagdish temple.

Start your 2 days in Udaipur by first visiting the beautiful temple. Jagdish Temple Udaipur is one of the most popular tourist spots in Udaipur. Situated right in the middle of the old city area, one has to pass the temple to reach the City Palace.

This 16th-century temple is a 3 storey temple and is one of the largest temples in Udaipur. It is dedicated to Lord Vishnu and was earlier known as the temple of Jagannath Rai.

With stunning architecture, one cannot help but climb those steps to pay respects to the Lord. The temple has stunningly carved pillars, huge halls, decorated ceilings, and painted walls.

Note: The temple is open from 4:30 am to 1 pm and 5 pm to 8 pm. Entry is free for visitors of all faiths. Photography is prohibited inside the temple.

Udaipur City Palace : Best Places to visit in Udaipur in 2 days

Whether it is a first trip or a fourth, Udaipur City Palace is one of the main attractions of Udaipur and one of the best places to visit in Udaipur in 2 days. While the opulence of the Maharajas is overwhelming, the architecture is mind-blowing.

No wonder it took over 400 years to create this masterpiece. Located on the banks of Pichola lake, the views of the lake from the palace are mesmerizing and vice versa.

A part of the palace still serves as a private residence but visitors are allowed to visit other areas of the palace. There are sit-outs, cafes, exhibitions, paintings, jharokhas and so much more to explore in the palace.

The palace timings are 9:30 am – 5:30 pm. The palace is rented out for marriage functions or private parties so some areas may be shut. It can get super busy, but if you go super early you might be able to beat the crowds.

The palace complex itself is beautiful and there is a restaurant that serves actual gold coffee, yes you heard it right, and it’s kind of expensive! but you can have snacks and coffee with the best views of Udaipur city Palace. Also, I recommend hiring a guide to know more about the history of the Palace.

After sunset, the palace hosts a sound and light show called ‘The Legacy of Honor’, which takes place at the Manek Chowk inside the palace complex between 7 pm – 8 pm. It is an amazing way to know the history of Rajasthan.

Cost:   INR 300 (for foreigners)

Pichola Lake

While Udaipur is surrounded by over 7 major lakes, Pichola lake is the most popular one as it is on the banks of City Palace, in the old city area. It is one of the largest and oldest lakes in Udaipur and it is famous for its beautiful scenery around it.

Basically, it has so many dining options overlooking the Udaipur city palace and offers beautiful views of the lake, While some people feel that a boat ride on Pichola is a waste of money or kind of touristy stuff but I disagree.

While the boat ride from the jetty may seem like a short ride and not worth it, the Pichola boat ride can be combined for reaching Jagmandir Palace.

Alternatively, you can dine at one of the restaurants near the lake for sunset dinner and drinks. It offers good food, cocktails, plus beautiful views. I think the lake is best appreciated in the evening, so make sure you include it in your Udaipur 2-day itinerary considering it is one of the best things to do in Udaipur in 2 days.

Tour Option: Private Sunset Cruise of Lake Pichola

• Jagmandir Palace

The boat ride fees to Jagmandir Palace deter many people from hopping in the boat and dropping this from their itinerary. But only when you go here, you know what you are missing! Built on Jagmandir Island in the Pichola lake, it is a magnificent place.

The medieval architecture and luxurious and royal surroundings make it a dream place to be in. This palace is a favorite venue for royal weddings with a huge garden and 15 luxurious rooms. The rooms, gardens, and dining area are open to the public.

Since the Jagmandir Palace is in the middle of Pichola lake, the 360-degree views are breathtaking. On one side is the City Palace and on the other is the Oberoi Udaivilas – a luxury hotel.

The best way to spend time here is to walk around the palace gardens and fountains or just chill till sunset at the cafe for a chilled beer overlooking Pichola lake and the city palace.

Since Jagmandir Palace is a private area, the entry is from the City Palace jetty and a separate ticket needs to be purchased to reach here. The boat takes a maximum of 12 riders on the boat through Pichola lake overlooking the spectacular Udaipur City Palace and drops at the Jag Mandir Palace.

Stroll Marekts of Udaipur for Shopping in Udaipur

Going empty-handed from Udaipur in 2 days trip is a strict no-no. Just like the rest of Rajasthan, Udaipur has vibrant bazaars and streets lined with shops selling local handicrafts, silver jewelry, leather items, textiles, etc. So much so that it is possible to get lost in the lanes and by lanes and forget your purpose for the Udaipur trip!

While there are many shops outside of Udaipur City Palace, one of the favorite shopping bazaars for tourists and locals is Hathi Pol. This shopping street starts from Jagdish temple and is full of shops selling silver jewelry, paintings, souvenirs, batik, and bandhani clothing as well as camel leather goods.

There are stores selling brass jewelry and customized painted t-shirts that deserve a look.

• Gangaur Ghat

Located near the Jagdish temple, the Gangaur ghat is just outside the Bagore ki Haveli. Considered to be the many ghats of Udaipur, it is located on the banks of Pichola lake. The locals celebrate festivals such as Gangaur Festival and Jal-Jhulni Ekadashi which is when it is extremely crowded.

While there is not much to see and do, it’s nice to hang out here for some time capturing some fleeting moments like sunset, local kids bathing or tourists enjoying a stroll on this ghat. But I loved watching the action over the ghat and it is one of the best places to visit in Udaipur in 2 days.

• Bagore ki Haveli

Bagore ki Haveli is an old haveli that has been restored into a museum. It is right on the banks of Pichola lake. The Haveli is very beautiful with courtyards, jharokhas, decorative archways, fountains, and exceptionally decorated 138 rooms with mirror work.

The walls of the Haveli have glasswork and mural paintings. It definitely portrays the luxurious life experienced by people back in the era. Bagore ki Haveli also has four museums – The Puppet museum, the Turban museum, the Weapon Museum, and the Wedding Depiction Section.

All of this can be easily seen before the haveli is closed at 5:30 pm and the entire place turns into a cultural spectacle.

Every day the haveli hosts a cultural dance program called Dharohar Dance Show which spans one hour. 4 Rajasthani dance styles are showcased by the local women, overlooking the haveli.

Daily there are 2 shows from 7 pm to 8 pm and 8 pm to 9 pm. An additional show from 9 pm to 10 pm takes place on weekends. Don’t miss this cultural experience from your 2 days Udaipur itinerary.

Day 2 of Best Places to Visit in Udaipur in 2 Days

Day 2 of 2 days Udaipur itinerary is planned to explore the main sites around Udaipur.

• Eklingji Temple

Eklingji Temple is one of the most important pilgrimage sites in Rajasthan. Located around 22km outside of the city, it is worth the visit! Eklingji Temple Complex houses 108 magnificent temples, the main one being the two-storied Shiva Temple, which houses the four-faced idol of Lord Shiva.

This 1000-year-old temple is completely made out of marble, a local stone available in plenty, and has intrinsically carved walls. I would suggest don’t miss this being one of the best places to visit in Udaipur in 2 days!

Eklingji temple timings are 4:15 am to 6:45 am, 10:30 am to 1:30 pm, and 5:15 pm to 7:45 pm.

• Saas Bahu Temple

Saas Bahu Temple is an 11th-century temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu. It is located very near Eklingji temples and can be easily covered together. The temple, located on the banks of Bagela lake was originally called Sahastra-Bahu.

The temple does not host a deity and a major portion of the temple is in ruins, but due to its architectural magnificence, visitors are still interested to visit this temple. Every inch of this temple including walls, ceiling, and pillars has unique and intricate carvings on them.

Since this day is all about places around Udaipur, I had to include Badi lake in this list of Udaipur in 2 days. Badi lake is away from the town which is why it is still pristine and offers unparalleled views of the Aravalli mountains.

As the name suggests, Badi lake also known as Jiyan Sagar is an extremely big lake.

Over the last few years, many trekking trails have been developed here where nature enthusiasts can enjoy fresh and tranquil views. Although the sunset is the best time to visit, Badi lake offers splendid views, all day and all year round.

It’s quiet, beautiful, and peaceful and you might want to spend all your time there.

Shilpgram Udaipur is a one-stop shop for things handmade, handcrafted, and local. While Shilpgram comes alive during its annual festival, it has a plethora of things to do, view, and enjoy.

Spread over 70 acres of land, Shilpgram translates to ‘village of artisans’ and it is designed exactly like that – it feels as though one is walking through rural markets.

There are small huts built using mud and natural building material to give the real picture of the ethnic diversity of the western states of India. Shilpgram also has a huge open-air amphitheater with a seating capacity of 8000 people at a time.

There are many shops selling souvenirs that include paintings, ceramics, wooden handicrafts, clothes, etc.

• Sajjangarh Biological Park

Located at the foothills of Sajjangarh Monsoon Palace, the zoo is a big attraction for tourists of all ages. The zoo features over 20 endemic species of animals such as the Asiatic lion, Bengal tiger, elephants, and others.

The zoo does not have typical enclosures but a huge space for animals to roam around. This makes for a surreal experience for the tourists. This park offers golf carts with drivers for those who can’t walk across the park.

Sajjangarh Fort a.k.a Monsoon Palace : Best places to visit in Udaipur in 2 days

We can only imagine the royal and luxurious lives of Maharajas in the yesteryears. A palace was built simply to enjoy the Indian monsoons overlooking Udaipur city and the Aravalli hills. I can say one of the most beautiful places to visit in Udaipur in 2 days, especially during the monsoon.

Sajjangarh fort also known as the monsoon palace is located on the top of a hill and offers beautiful views of Udaipur from above. Built in the 19th century, the fort has a small exhibition on the top floor and viewing galleries all over the complex. One of the most striking features of the fort is the presence of a rainwater harvesting system which is functional even now.

You can get an organized tour package from the Udaipur city area from any tour agency or you can rent an auto rickshaw or taxi. Also, bikes will also go up there. It’s open from 8 am to 6 pm.

Where to eat in Udaipur in 2 days

There is no dearth of places to eat in Udaipur. The question is whether you are looking for delicious food or amazing views or both. There are many rooftop restaurants around Pichola lake that offer splendid views of the lake.

Here are some of the cafes and restaurants in Udaipur that have great food and views! Beware that most of these are high-end luxurious cafes.

Upre Restaurant

Upre is one of the most popular rooftop restaurants in Udaipur offering panoramic views of Gangaur Ghat and Bagore ki Haveli.  Upre means “upstairs”. The restaurant has a vast selection of vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes and cuisines that range from Indian, Continental, and Chinese cuisines, to Rajasthani dishes. This restaurant looks even more beautiful at night from the Gangaur ghat.

Thanks to its popularity, getting a table here is difficult which is why reservations are strongly recommended. However they do not book a table over weekends – it is first come, first serve. 

Address: Hotel Lake Pichola, Outside ChandPole.

Rainbow Restaurant

Rainbow Restaurant is a great find, especially around sunset. The views of Pichola lake overlooking the Aravalli mountains and a delicious pizza in hand are a great match. The restaurant has cute decor, with candlelight set up and live music on weekends. 

Address: Near Lal Ghat, Next to Jaiwana Haveli.

The breakfast at Jheel Cafe is a steal because of the good weather, great views, no crowds, and the perfect breakfast spread! The cafe has indoor and outdoor seating and is spread over two floors. Weekends are extremely busy, so a reservation is recommended.

Address: 52, 56, Top Floor, Gangaur Ghat, Near Bagore Ki Haveli, Chandpole.

Jagat Niwas Restaurant

Housed in Jagat Niwas Haveli, Pichola lake views from their jharokhas are Instagram-worthy! Try to reach early and bag a table near the window and enjoy the views throughout the delicious meal. The delicacies range from Indian, Continental to Chinese.

Address: Jagat Niwas Haveli, Lal Ghat

Cafe Ambrai

The second best place to have a meal after Upre is Cafe Ambrai. Based in the Amet Haveli, Café Ambrai offers views of the splendid Taj Lake Palace, Gangaur Ghat, and City Palace over the lake. The menu ranges from Indian, Chinese, and Continental cuisines.

Address: Amet Haveli, Outside Chandpole

Street food places in Udaipur

Paliwal restaurant.

Famous for its range of Kachoris, Paliwal Restaurant is a must-visit to gorge on the Pyaaz, Moong Dal, or Masala Kachori. Due to its popularity, the restaurant is thronged throughout the day but especially for breakfast as it opens at 7 am!

Address: Jagdish Temple Rd, Old City

Food vans at Gulab Bagh

Just outside the Gulab Bagh, there is an entire street offering lip-smacking yummy street food. Maggi, aloo paratha, Indian Chinese dishes, and egg items are famous here.

Address: Behind Museum Road, Gulab Baugh

Where to stay In Udaipur

It is always a debate whether to stay in the city near all the happening places or stay on the outskirts by choosing a resort or boutique hotel which gives the best of both worlds. Whichever you choose, there is no dearth of hostels, luxury hotels, guesthouses, airBnBs, and resorts in Udaipur.

Hostels in Udaipur

Hostel mantra.

Located in Udaipur’s Old City, this hostel is within walking distance of happening places and restaurants. There is an option to choose from dorm rooms and private rooms.

Zostel Udaipur

Due to its chain of hostels across India, Zostel Udaipur is a preferable and safe choice for solo travelers, especially women. Not only is it budget friendly but it is located at a great location overlooking Pichola lake. It is decorated beautifully and has a common dining area where travelers can meet up with fellow mates.

Mid-Range Hotels

Trident Udaipur

Located very close to the city center, Trident has the perfect location for escaping the main city crowds, but still being close enough to catch a taxi ride in. Being a chain of hotels, even this is a trusted hotel that offers gorgeous views and has a swimming pool and a restaurant.

Kankarwa Haveli

It is one of many heritage hotels in Udaipur, that belonged to the Kankarwa family. It was renovated to welcome guests giving them the experience of staying in an original Rajasthani Haveli. The location is great as it is close to City Palace and there is a rooftop restaurant to enjoy the Pichola lake views.

Luxury Hotels

Jagmandir island palace udaipur.

If you wish to splurge, then one option is to spend the night at the Jagmandir Island Palace. It is a grand Heritage Palace built in the 17th century. Although popular for weddings, there are rooms available to stay.

There is a Darikhana Restaurant, Picholi Bar, Panghat Spa and Salon, and all-day café where visitors can leisurely spend hours gazing across Lake Pichola and the City Palace. There is also Jagriti, a heritage museum on site to give a feel for how Jagmandir Island Palace was built and developed over the centuries.

How to reach Udaipur

Flights: You can get flights to Udaipur from all major airports, such as Mumbai and Delhi. From the airport, you can get an Uber to your hotel in Udaipur. Check Skyscanner for the best deals.

Train: You can get a train from all over the country to Udaipur. I recommend traveling in AC Class as it is more comfortable. You can book it via the IRCTC website or reserve it at the station in advance.

Bus: Buses are frequent around India and you can easily book a bus online with the red bus . Also, you will get an SMS once you reserve the seat and you can track your bus which is quite convenient. Buses will be a bit expensive if you prefer AC Sleeper.

Alternatively, you can book Private transfers from Delhi, Jaipur, or Pushkar too.

Best time to visit Udaipur

The best time to visit Udaipur is during the winter season. Although keep in mind that most tourists – local and foreign visit Udaipur then which makes it quite crowded and the hotel prices go up.

Where To Go After Udaipur

Rajasthan has so many beautiful destinations to explore. If you are visiting prime destinations of Rajasthan, I recommend visiting Jodhpur or Jaipur next. I suggest not missing Jaisalmer during your India trip. You can read about all these destinations here:

• 3 days Jaipur Itinerary
• 2 days Jodhpur itinerary

This Udaipur travel guide contains a list of the best places to visit in Udaipur in 2 days along with all the travel information to help you plan a trip to Udaipur, Rajasthan.

Udaipur, also known as the Venice of the East or the city of lakes, is aptly termed so. With many-a lakes set both within and outside the city limits as well as the delightful ghats set along the lake-side, Udaipur oozes a regal charm. In case you follow me on Instagram, you’ll know I spent a good 10 days exploring the cities of Jodhpur, Jaisalmer, and Udaipur in the state of Rajasthan in India. While I loved spending time in all of these cities, the white marble structures, shimmering lakes, surreal sunsets and the striking havelis of Udaipur stole my heart. Walking along the narrow lanes of the old town set next to lake Pichola, watching the local vendors lure tourists inside their shops with colourful garments, glittering jewels, and fascinating turbans while gorging on the kachori , a local street food, was an experience like none other.

This Udaipur travel guide and Udaipur itinerary listing all the places to visit in Udaipur in 2 days is an ode to this marvellous city of lakes, or shall I say Venice of the East.

Nonetheless, this Udaipur travel guide contains all the travel info, sightseeing spots, food places and accommodation options to help you plan your Udaipur trip.

• Summer (April - June): Summer in the dry arid state of Rajasthan can get overbearingly hot which is why it’s best to avoid visiting Udaipur during this time.
• Monsoon (July - September): Even though the monsoon months bring a respite from the heat, the muddy streets and the humidity can hamper your sightseeing plans.
• Winter (October - March): The winter months are the best time to visit Udaipur. While December and January can get quite cold, the months of October, November, March and April have pleasant weather and are the best months to visit Udaipur.

Getting Around Udaipur

A majority of the sightseeing places in Udaipur are set in the old city, around Lake Pichola. Due to this, if you stay within the old city, you can simply walk or take a tuk-tuk to almost all the places to visit in Udaipur. However, you may need to hire a cab or tuk-tuk for half a day to visit some of the other sightseeing spots which lie farther away from the city center.

Where to Stay in Udaipur

Zostel udaipur.

View from the rooftop at Zostel Udaipur

Throughout my 3 days in Udaipur, I stayed at Zostel Udaipur which is next to the Swaroop Sagar Lake, right next to Lake Pichola near the old city. This backpacker hostel has both dorm rooms as well as private rooms. The best part about this hostel was the lavish rooftop cafe that had marble tabletops, metal chairs with elaborate designs on them along with plants and cheerful flowers. I cannot put into words how dreamy it was to watch the sunrise from here. Plus, the delicious dinners sitting at the rooftop, while watching the lights of the city reflect in the water of the lake ahead was nothing short of spectacular.

Hotels in Udaipur

Coming to finding other hotels in Udaipur, I strongly suggest booking a hotel near Lake Pichola, which will make it easy to access all the places to visit in Udaipur in 2 days. Additionally, there’s nothing like waking up to watch the sun glimmer in the waters of the lake, while staying at a hotel near the lake in Udaipur.

Best Places to Visit in Udaipur in 2 Days

1. lake pichola.

Lake Pichola is an artificial lake, built-in 1362 AD in order to fulfil the agricultural and drinking water needs of the city. In the present day, Lake Pichola is the most popular attraction in Udaipur, with many other sightseeing places situated around the lake. There are 4 islands on this lake and visitors can indulge in a boat ride to visit these islands. I suggest taking a sunset boat ride on Lake Pichola to watch the sun go down behind the Aravali hills in the distance, with its orange hues reflecting in the water of the lake. Apart from that, there are numerous cafes and restaurants offering the most amazing views of the lake both from up-close and from rooftops. Moreover, there are numerous ghats to sit and enjoy watching the sun setting behind the lake, with Gangaur Ghat and Ambrai Ghat being the most visited ones.

2. Ganguar Ghat

Gangaur Ghat is the main ghat on Lake Pichola that is located near the Jagdish temple area in the old town. The ghat is identified and made popular due to the iconic Bagore ki Haveli, which lies on one end of Gangaur Ghat. There are steps leading down to the lake here. In the mornings you’ll see locals walking along the ghat and bathing here whereas, in the evenings, the place is crowded with tourists sitting on these steps, waiting to watch and capture the sunset across the ghat. While I loved the view and the setting of the ghat, the place was dirty. It could definitely use some maintenance as well as some more benches for people to sit.

3. Bagore ki Haveli

Bagore ki Haveli is a haveli, or traditional mansion, set along Lake Pichola, on one end of Gangaur Ghat. While the expansive palace is quite impressive, with over hundred rooms, multiple courtyards and incritate mirror work used for decoration, it's the cultural show at Bagore ki Haveli which is the highlight of the place. For one hour in the evening, the haveli lights up and becomes home to a traditional folk dance show. The tickets to the dance show can be purchased online or in-person on the spot at the haveli. This cultural show is held every evening at the Neem courtyard of Bagore ki Haveli.

Open all days 9.30 am to 5.30 pm

4. City Palace

Similar to most of the other places to visit in Udaipur in 2 days, the City Palace of Udaipur is set along Lake Pichola. A sprawling palace built in the 16th century, it is one of the main attractions in Udaipur. The Palace has many-a sprawling courtyards and glorious rooms in decadent colours signifying the opulence of the Rajput royal families that once lived here. Many of the corridors and rooms in Udaipur’s city palace open up to splendid views of the city. Not just that, the lavish mirror work in some sections is worthy of being labelled as instagrammable. Spare at least 2 hours to walk around, revel in the glorious history and to soak in all the royal vibes at city palace.

5. Jag Mandir

Jag Mandir, also known as the Lake Garden Palace is a palace built on a small island on Lake Pichola. The palace has been converted into a hotel owned by the HRH group. People wishing to stay at an island palace can book a stay at the rooms here. The hotel also has a restaurant with the most breathtaking view. For those who are not staying at the palace but who wish to visit it, can hire a boat ride from the Bansi Ghat jetty to visit the Jag Mandir Palace. Visitors can also dine at the restaurant here. Note that there is a minimum cover charge here and you need to reserve a table in advance so be prepared accordingly in case you wish you dine here. It’s best to visit the Jag Mandir around the time of sunset so that you can take a quick tour of the palace and then watch the sunset either from the restaurant or from the boat ride back. 

Open all days 10 am to 6 pm

6. Jagdish Temple

Jagdish temple is yet another one of the popular places to visit in Udaipur in 2 days. The architecture and the marble steps leading up to the temple are both very interesting. The temple is located just a short walk from both City Palace and Gangaur Ghat as well as Bagore ki Haveli. So if you’re going from the City Palace towards Bagore ki Haveli (and consequently Ganguar Ghat) or vice-versa, you can visit Jagdish temple on the way.

7. Doodh Talai

Doodh Talai, translated to ‘milk lake’ from Hindi, is a tiny but picturesque lake next to Lake Pichola. Situated at a walking distance from some of the important sightseeing places such as the City Palace and Jagdish temple, the lake is surrounded by small hillocks, has clear water and white ornate structures all around it. There are lots of street food ventors around the lake and activities such as boating and horse rides are also provided here. Additionally, while you’re here, do take the ropeway up to Karni Mata temple for the most breathtaking sunset view.

8. Royal Cenotaphs

One of the most underrated places to visit in Udaipur, Royal Cenotaphs or Ahar Cenotaphs are a group of 250 cenotaphs built as a memorial to Rajput maharajas. While there is no entry fee for the cenotaphs, the nearby Ahar Museum charges a nominal fee to enter. Since the Royal Cenotaphs are located inside the city, you will need to hire a tuk-tuk or a cab to get here, if you're staying near Lake Pichola. Also note that there is a sign here saying photography is not permitted but hardly anyone follows this rule. If you’re looking for offbeat places to visit in Udaipur, then the Ahar Cenotaphs are the place to go to!

Shopping in Udaipur

Hathi pol bazaar, which lies within walking distance of Zostel Udaipur, is one of the best places to do shopping in Udaipur. There are innumerable shops selling clothing in local prints, handicraft items as well as traditional jewellery. Ahmedabadwala was one of the noteworthy jewellery shops that I discovered in this market. While it may look like a tiny, dismissive place, don’t judge it by its appearance. The sweet old man who runs the shop had the most amazing collection of jewellery in mirror work, Kundan work, Meena work, handpainted work and more. Not just that, the jewellery was available in multiple price ranges, going from a mere INR 100-150 up to thousands of rupees. I recommend this shop to anyone looking to shop for traditional jewellery in Udaipur. Furthermore, I picked up vintage handpainted postcards from Sakshi Art School, which is situated right next to Zostel Udaipur. Once again, the kind man who runs this art school was so sweet that I couldn't help including his store/ art school in this Udaipur travel guide.

Where to Eat in Udaipur - Best Restaurants and Cafes in Udaipur

No trip to Udaipur is complete without gorging on a scrumptious Rajasthani thali and sitting in a nice cafe or restaurant at Lake Pichola. While there are numerous places where you can do both of the aforementioned things in Udaipur, I’ve mentioned two of the top restaurants and cafes in Udaipur, based on my experience in the city.

What is one of the most amazing cafes in Udaipur city, Jheel cafe lies near Gangaur Ghat, sitting pretty right next to Lake Pichola. The cafe has two levels - the top floor where you can get a nice view of the lake and the section which has a more extensive menu. On the other hand, the bottom floor of Jheel cafe has a limited menu and limited seating. However, this is where there's a catch. What most people miss observing is that there’s a small door at the bottom level which leads to a small open-air section where it almost feels as if you’re touching the lake. I loved sitting here, enjoying a hot cup of tea on a cool wintery morning, taking in the beauty of the lake in front of me.

Tribute Restaurant

Tribute restaurant is an upscale restaurant located directly opposite to Zostel Udaipur, on the other side of the lake. The restaurant has the most amazing view of the lake in the evening, with lights of the restaurant and the city shimmering in the placid water. Even though the restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating, I would recommend sitting outside for the best views and a phenomenal ambience. The food tasted good but I did not enjoy the cocktails here. You may need to call ahead and reserve a table during the tourist season, in order to be assured a table.

Udaipur Itinerary For 2 Days

• September 1, 2023

Udaipur, hemmed by the scenic Aravalli and sitting on the picturesque Lake Pichola, has an unrivaled setting and is THE most beautiful city in Rajasthan . It is also known as “The City of Lakes” and “Venice of the East” as it is surrounded by many serene artificial lakes, including Fateh Sagar Lake, Jaisamand Lake, and Rajsamand Lake. Every nook and cranny of the romantic city will captivate you with its intriguing past, cultural vibrancy, architectural marvels, local folklore, and stunning splendor. It exudes old-world charm and has the perfect laid-back vibes to help you escape the hustle and bustle of city life.

Rana Udai Singh founded Udaipur as the new capital of the Mewar Kingdom in the 16th century. The royal town remained the capital of Mewar until 1818 when it became a princely state of British India. As a result, it is not surprising that the entire region is liberally dotted with tranquil temples, historic Havelis, imposing forts, and floating palaces. The best places to visit in Udaipur are scattered throughout the town. However, because the city is small, you can see most of it in two days if you plan well. This guide has you covered, as it walks you through a curated itinerary that includes top attractions.

Udaipur Itinerary: Day 1

Start your day early if you want to make the most of your limited time here. The Jagdish Temple is located in the heart of the old city, and one must pass through it to get to the City Palace. So we’ll start with Jagdish Temple and then move on to City Palace, a must-see landmark in Udaipur. It will be lunchtime by the time you finish City Palace. Many lake-facing hotels, restaurants, and rooftop bars surround the lake, allowing you to enjoy the view while grabbing a bite. After lunch, you can take a boat ride with a stop at Jag Mandir Palace and then go shopping. If you’d rather watch the sunset over Lake Pichola, you can shop first and then return for a gorgeous sunset. After a long and exhausting day of sightseeing and shopping, it is best to have a leisurely dinner and retire early.

1). Jagdish Temple, Udaipur

The Jagdish Temple was built in 1651 AD by Maharana Jagat Singh and is dedicated to Lord Vishnu, the preserver of the Universe. It features an impressive four-armed statue of Lord Vishnu carved from a single piece of black stone. To reach the largest temple in Udaipur, one must climb 32 steep marble stairs. The three-story Indo-Aryan temple has been adorned with ceiling art, ornate shrines, elegant sculptures, painted walls, carved pillars, and a Garuda statue. Photography is not permitted inside the Jagdish Temple. Follow temple protocol by removing your shoes and covering your shoulders and knees. Visit Timings : 4:30 am – 1 pm & 5 pm – 8 pm Visiting Duration : 30 minutes Entry Charges : Free

2).  City Palace, Udaipur

The City Palace is just a short walk from Jagdish Temple. This marble and granite palace is the highlight of your Udaipur itinerary. City Palace is located on a hill and provides a 360-degree view of the city and the lake. Maharana Udai Singh built the grand palace on the banks of Lake Pichola in 1559 AD. It was constructed over 400 years ago with contributions from several rulers of the Mewar dynasty. From the outside, City Place resembles a fort, and the architecture is a perfect blend of Rajput and Mughal designs. You’ll need at least two hours to explore the maze of hidden rooms, corridors, terraces, courtyards, gates, museums, and gardens. Admire the spectacular grandeur of Bhim Vilas, Sheesh Mahal, Badi Mahal, Zenana Mahal, Amar Vilas, and Mor Chowk. The memorabilia, furniture, and paintings on display at the Museum and Crystal Gallery (extra charge) are impressive. Photography is permitted for a fee. Location: Silawat Wadi. Visit Timings : 9:30 am- 5:30 pm (no tickets after 4:30 pm) Visiting Duration: Entry Charges: Rs.30/    Museum Entry Charge: Rs 250/

3).  Lake Pichola, Udaipur

Lake Pichola is one of Udaipur’s largest and oldest artificial freshwater lakes, and there is a lot going on around it. The lake was created initially as a pond in 1362 AD by a nomad named Picchu Banjara. Maharana Udai Singh later commissioned the development of this pond and expanded the lake by constructing a stone masonry dam. Lake Pichola is home to the exquisite Jag Mandir and the Lake Palace Hotel (Jag Niwas). The Taj Lake Palace Hotel is one of the most unique hotels in the world, but you can only visit it if you stay there. Take a boat ride on Lake Pichola, especially at sunset, to take in the incredible views. The government-operated ferries depart from Municipal Boat Ride Point (no stops at the Jag Mandir Palace). If you don’t want to get on a boat, Gangaur Ghat is another great place to watch the sunset, with the entire city painted in golden hues.

4).  Jag Mandir, Udaipur

During your boat ride, you have the option of stopping at Jag Mandir, an island on Lake Pichola. Boats for Jag Mandir depart from the City Palace jetty. Since Jag Mandir is a private domain, you must purchase a separate ticket to gain access. You can also rent a private boat where you won’t have to share space with anyone. Jag Mandir Palace, also known as “Lake Garden Palace,” dates back to the 17th century and is finely crafted with intricate Rajput and Mughal architecture. The luxurious Gul Mahal and the beautifully manicured gardens are a sight to behold. The palace has now been converted into a hotel and is a popular venue for royal Indian weddings . If you’re hungry, stop by Darikhana, which serves delectable Rajasthani cuisine . Visit Timings: 10 am – 6 pm Visiting Duration: 30 minutes Entry Charges: Free

5).  Shop in the Local Markets

A trip to Udaipur would be incomplete without exploring the narrow and winding streets of the city. The lively bazaars are lined with quaint and artsy shops, as well as street vendors. Hathipole, Bapu bazaar, and the area around Jagdish Temple are great places to stock up on silver jewelry, bandhani/batik clothing, leather items, Mojadis, miniature paintings, local handicrafts, and endless souvenirs . When doing street shopping , bargain hard because shopkeepers usually quote 2-3 times the actual price. Those looking for high-end bohemian clothing and accessories should go to the boutiques and the Ganesh Emporium. Authentic handicrafts, as well as mirrored bags by Vipul Shah, can be found there. While you’re there, keep an eye out for the street art and murals that are all over Udaipur’s old city.

Udaipur Itinerary: Day 2

Today we would be stepping out of the main city. Begin your day with a visit to the Monsoon Palace, which is located 9 kilometers from the city center. After reaching the hilltop and admiring the panorama, proceed to Fateh Sagar Lake, which is the next stop. We spend some leisure time there before heading to Shilpgram. A few hours spent at the artisan village will add a cultural twist to your Udaipur vacation. Shilpgram’s restaurant serves mouth-watering traditional fare for lunch. Return to your hotel to freshen up before the Bagore ki Haveli cultural spectacle. After you’ve finished watching the show, eat your dinner and call it a day.

1).  Monsoon Palace, Udaipur

Monsoon Palace, also known as Sajjan Garh Palace, is located on top of the Bansadara Hills, just outside of Udaipur. The 19th-century regal edifice built by Maharana Sajjan Singh was intended to be an observatory to track monsoon clouds, hence the name. The project was never finished because the king passed away, and the royal family started using it as a hunting and recreation lodge. You may ride a shared taxi/van to get to the fort. If you have a car, you can drive up to the palace. The hike takes about 1-2 hours as it is all uphill the entire way. The palace features a variety of pillars, domes, turrets, and jharokas in the true Rajasthani style, all made of marble with intricate inlay. The structure, however, is poorly maintained, and there is not much to see there. The primary purpose of our visit is to experience the sweeping panoramas of Udaipur, including all of its beautiful palaces and lakes. Visit Timings : 9 am – 5 pm Visiting Duration: 2 hours Entry Charges for Indians/Foreigners: Rs.110/Rs.300

2).  Fateh Sagar Lake, Udaipur

Fateh Sagar Lake is another artificial body of water that was built during the reign of Maharana Jai Singh in 1678 AD. While visiting the lake, you can take in spectacular views of the surrounding mountains and verdant gardens. On the shimmering blue waters, you can ride a boat, speed boat, or jet ski. If you don’t feel like taking a spin on the water, you can sit on the benches facing the lake and soak in the beauty of the area while watching the locals enjoy their day. The lake is also home to Udaipur’s solar observatory. Don’t pass up the opportunity to gorge yourself on the wide selection of local snacks offered by the countless street food vendors stationed there.

3).  Shilpgram, Udaipur

Shilpgram is a 70-acre village-themed arts and crafts complex on the outskirts of Udaipur. The compound includes small huts made of mud and other natural building materials which highlight the ethnic diversity of India’s western states. Shilpgram has an ethnographic museum that showcases the lifestyles and cultures of the people and tribals who live in this region. Additionally, there are shopping opportunities, camel rides, live pottery demonstrations, cultural events, and authentic village vibes for visitors to enjoy here. An excellent spot to buy local treasures and support local artisans. It also has a large open-air amphitheater with seating for 8000 people. Visit Timings: 11 am – 7 pm Visiting Duration: 2-3 hours Entry Charges for Indians/Foreigners: Rs.30/Rs.50

4).  Bagore ki Haveli, Udaipur

Dharohar Folk Dance is an evening cultural extravaganza held in the courtyard of Bagore ki Haveli, an old mansion turned museum. The glasswork and mural paintings on the Haveli make it very beautiful. However, the Haveli closes at 5:30 p.m., after which the entire area transforms into a cultural spectacle. The hour-long show is a captivating medley of Rajasthani music, dance & and puppetry presented by local artists dressed in vibrant local attire. Tickets sell out quickly, so arrive early to ensure a spot or book your tickets ahead of time. Show Timings: 7 pm Visiting Duration: 1.5 hrs Entry Charges for Indians/Foreigners: Rs.90/Rs.150

Alternate Tour Suggestions:

If one of the above attractions does not pique your interest, you can switch to one of the attractions listed below. Everything in Udaipur is close and easily accessible, so minor changes to the itinerary will not create any issues.

Saheliyon li Bari:   The Garden of Maids, sitting along the banks of Fateh Sagar Lake, offers lotus pools, crystalloid fountains, chiseled kiosks, marble pavilions, and elephant-shaped structures. The elegant garden was created by Maharana Sangram Singh and presented to his queen and her 48 maids. The queen along with her female companions used to come here for recreation.

Ahar Cenotaphs :   A cenotaph is an empty tomb or monument built to honor the deceased, in this case, the Maharajas of Udaipur. There are a total of 250 cenotaphs and 19 chhatris to commemorate the 19 maharajas who were cremated at the Ahar Cenotaphs. All of the cenotaphs in the Ahar Cemetery have exquisitely carved domes, charming statues, and columned pavilions.

Best Time To Visit?

Udaipur is best visited between October and March. The hotels would be quite pricey, though, as this is the busiest travel season for both locals and international travelers. In December and January, it may get a little chilly, but nothing a couple of layers can’t fix. The months of April and May are unbearably hot, and the monsoon season lasts from July to September . However, Udaipur is spectacular during the rainy season, with the city and its outskirts covered in lush greenery. If you go in September, you may be able to avoid the worst of the rain.

How to Reach Udaipur?

Since Udaipur is an internationally renowned tourist attraction, you should have no trouble finding modes of transport that fit your needs and price range. Before planning your trip, make sure to check the most recent travel advisories, road conditions, and schedules. Make your transport arrangements ahead of time.

• By Air: The Maharana Pratap Airport, also known as Dabok Airport, serves Udaipur. Fly into this airport from major Indian cities such as Delhi , Mumbai , Jaipur, and others. The airport is approximately 22 kilometers from the main city, and you can take a taxi to the city center.
• By train: The two main railway stations in Udaipur are Udaipur City Railway Station and Rana Pratap Nagar Railway Station. Udaipur is conveniently linked to most parts of India by train, with multiple alternatives from major cities such as Delhi, Mumbai, Jaipur , and Ahmedabad, among others.
• By Road: Udaipur is accessible by road thanks to an extensive network of national and state highways. You can drive to Udaipur from nearby cities and states. Buses (state-run and private) leave from cities such as Jaipur, Ahmedabad, Delhi, and Mumbai. You can also travel to Udaipur by car or taxi.

How to Get Around in Udaipur?

Many attractions of Udaipur are within walking distance of one another. Keep in mind that traffic in Udaipur can be clogged up, particularly in popular tourist areas, so plan your journey accordingly.

• Walking: The old city of Udaipur is very walkable, and this can be a great way to explore the narrow streets, markets, and famous landmarks. Walking is the best way to get a feel of the old city and its intriguing culture.
• Auto Rickshaws: They are the city’s most affordable mode of transportation and can be found almost anywhere. They work best for short distances within city limits. Before beginning your ride, negotiate the fare or request that the driver use the meter. They can also be rented through Uber and Ola
• Cycle Rickshaws:  In some areas of the city, cycle rickshaws are an option for a more leisurely and environmentally friendly ride. They are slower but provide a one-of-a-kind experience.
• Taxis: They are more comfortable and convenient, especially if you are traveling with a group or have a lot of luggage. You can book them through your hotel or Uber and Ola. Ride-hailing apps are the best option to avoid being charged extra.
• Car Rentals: If you prefer the flexibility and independence of having your own vehicle, you can rent a car with a driver. This is particularly helpful if you intend to visit attractions outside of the city. Do not attempt to drive because traffic in most Indian cities is chaotic.
• Guided Tours: Joining guided tours , whether walking tours or organized day trips, can be a convenient way to explore Udaipur’s attractions with the insight of a local guide.
• Bicycle Rentals: If you’re feeling adventurous, rent a bicycle and explore the city at your own pace. The relatively flat terrain of Udaipur makes it great for cycling.
• Two-wheelers: You can easily rent them from shops after putting down a deposit. They are inexpensive and provide you with flexibility. However, driving anything on Indian roads is never easy.

Where to Stay in Udaipur?

Udaipur is a fantastic destination for everyone, including singles , couples, and families. There is no shortage of fine hotels in Udaipur, and you can find accommodation to suit all pockets. Consider staying in one of Udaipur’s most luxurious hotels if you can afford it. You’ll feel like royalty at the Oberoi Udaivilas, Taj Lake Palace, Rafles, and The Leela Palace. If these properties are out of your price range, the Taj Fateh Prakash and Jagat Niwas are two other amazing heritage properties worth looking at. Other upscale accommodations in Udaipur include Trident and Aurika. Zostel is a good safe option for budget travellers.

Where to eat in Udaipur?

Day 2 | Morning

Sajjan garh.

Opening Hours: Open 24 hours

Ticket Price: 160 INR

Recommended Length of Stay: 1-3 Hours

Location: Sajjangarh Wildlife Sanctuary,Kodiyat, Udaipur, Rajasthan, India

The Rainy Season Palace was the summer palace of the nobles of the Royal Palace of Udaipur at that time and was located on the top of the hill. First, it is cool, and secondly, the terrain is relatively high, so it is not afraid of floods in the city during the rainy season. Here you can not only overlook the entire white city, but also a good place to watch the sunset. This palace built by Maharaja Sajjan Singh in the late 19th century towers over a distant mountain and feels slightly sad, as if in a fairy tale world. Originally an astronomical center, it was transformed into a rainy season palace and hunting lodge.

Day 2 | Afternoon

After finishing the tour at Sajjan Garh, you can head to Udaipur Sunset Point, the most worth visiting place around the corner.

Udaipur Sunset Point

Ticket Price: 5 INR

Location: Udaipur, Rajasthan

Going south from the Udaipur City Palace Pier, you can take the cable car up the mountain. This is a good place to watch the sunset in Udaipur. You can see the panorama of Pichola Lake, the City Palace and Udaipur, and the view is very broad. Below the sunset point is a cruise ship. It is also a good choice to take a cruise to watch the sunset, and you can take pictures from all angles.

Complete 2 Days in Dublin Itinerary – 48 Hours in Dublin

D o you only have enough time to spend 2 days in Dublin? This itinerary will make sure you can discover the highlights of the most charming neighborhoods, picturesque streets and popular attractions.

As a first time visitor to Dublin, Ireland it can be overwhelming with all the things to do in only 48 hours. This itinerary will make it easy for you to get the most out of your visit to Ireland’s capital city.

Where should I stay in Dublin?

You will most likely be arriving to the Dublin Airport and you will want to book accomodations close to the city center. With only 2 days in Dublin you will have to make a trade off between hotel price and how much time you have to get between attractions.

We stayed both at the historic Harcourt Hotel , which is about 20 minutes walk south of most attractions and the Staycity Aparthotels, Dublin, City Centre which is closer to more attractions on the northern side of the city center. For us the 20 minute walk from Harcourt Hotel was not a big deal, but if you want to go back to the hotel in the middle of the day to relax or change the distance can be time prohibitive.

Do I need to rent a car in Dublin?

Renting a car in Dublin generally is not needed, with most of the attractions within walking distance. Even if one attraction is a bit further away, using public transportation or an Uber will save you time and stress throughout your visit without having to find the limited parking within Dublin’s city center.

Is the Go City Dublin Pass worth it?

A great way to save time and money on a two day trip to Dublin is with the Go City Dublin All-Inclusive Pass , which costs €99 for a 2-day pass. This includes entrances to most of the paid attractions in this itinerary. During our visit we go €110.5 worth of value from the Go City pass and still had some additional places we wished we could visit.

To see if the Go City Dublin pass is worth it for you, check out the included attractions and add together the value of having to buy the tickets separately. If that value is the same or greater than the cost of the Dublin Pass, it is definitely worth purchasing.

One thing we found is that purchasing the pass in advance incentivised us to actually complete our full itinerary each day, which can be substantial with only 2 days to explore Dublin. It is a lot better to go to bed tired for two nights than miss the best things to do in Dublin.

Taking a look at this two day Dublin itinerary here are the savings the Go City Dublin pass provided.

Day one in Dublin: Streets of Dublin and Culture

For the first day in Dublin, the time is more focused on getting to know the feeling and atmosphere that Dublin is so well known. It is about exploring the historic streets of the city center with enough extra time throughout the day to wander into an interesting pub or shop that you pass along the way.

Iveagh Gardens & Saint Stephen’s green

Start the morning off with a stroll through Iveagh Gardens & Saint Stephen’s green park. We visited Dublin in November so were met with the peak orange and yellow autumn foliage. Within the Iveagh Gardens there is a memorial dedicated to the peaceful defenders of human rights around the world which we highly recommend for a quick read. At Saint Stephen’s green make sure to walk around the lake to see locals feeding the swans.

Merrion Square Park

We then made our way over to Merrion Square Park, zig zagging our way through as many beautiful and peaceful neighborhood streets as we can, where you can see fascinating brick facades with the contrast of bright painted doors.

The Umbrellas Dublin

Weaving our way through the historic streets of Dublin, we make a quick detour to The Umbrellas Dublin, which are colorful umbrellas hanging across the road, for a romantic photo opportunity. The only downside is that its located in an ally between a few bars and a casino. It is worth visiting for a few minutes, but don’t go too far out of the way to get there if you are not nearby.

Trinity College

Trinity College is Ireland’s oldest university, founded in 1592. The most popular thing to do is take a guided tour of the Trinity College Library to see the Book of Kells. It is best to book a timed tour in advance as it can be several hours before the next available tour when booking on the spot. You can also just walk around the historic campus and enjoy the iconic buildings.

Temple Bar Pub

Walking through the iconic cobbled streets of the Temple Bar district, you want to be on the lookout for the world famous Temple Bar Pub. You have to step inside to experience the lively atmosphere, Irish music, and sip on possibly the most expensive pint of Guinness in Ireland.

Throughout this district there are endless pubs and bars to explore, making it a great place to come back in the evening for drinks after dinner.

Molly Malone statue

Then head over for a quick photo of the Molly Malone statue, in commemoration to the song “Cockles and Mussels” set in Dublin, which has become an unofficial anthem of the city. The statue represents a 17th century working class women overcoming all adversity.

Jameson Distillery Bow St.

Make your way to the other side of the river to the famous Jameson Distillery Bow St. for a guided tasting tour of Ireland’s most well known whiskey. The basic tour starts at €26 with more intensive tours up to a €140 paired tasting experience. Just have in mind the last tour starts at 5:30PM during the week and 6:45PM on the weekends.

Celtic Nights Dinner & Show

A great, but touristy way to have a crash course in traditional Irish food, Irish music, and Irish dance is at the Celtic Nights Dinner & Show . For €49 per adult it includes a three-course meal off a set menu, accompanied with live music and dancers throughout the evening. We felt like we could have a more authentic experience finding a show or music outside of a restaurant, but with only two days in Dublin, it is perfect to get a taste of all three.

Day two in Dublin: History, Whiskey, and Guinness

The second day of this itinerary is packed with much more of Dublin’s history with more tours and set attraction times. It is important to be mindful of the time today to make sure you can visit each attraction before it closes.

Dublin Castle

Start the day off at the Dublin Castle, which served as the seat of British rule in Ireland from 1204 until Ireland’s independence in 1922. It is still used to this day for some state ceremonies, with Ireland’s presidents being inaugurated in St Patrick’s Hall. Our favorite rooms in the castle are The throne room, The Battleaxe Staircase, the State Drawing Room, The Chapel Royal, and of course St. Patrick’s Hall. Self guided tickets are €8 per adult.

Christ Church Cathedral

Visit the oldest medieval cathedral in Dublin, the Christ Church Cathedral, dating back over 1,000 years. Make sure not to miss the renowned architecture and artfully designed floor tiles. Tickets are €11.50 per adult.

Dublinia is an interactive museum focused around the Viking and Medieval times in Dublin. Take a walk back in time to experience the rich history of the city and all of Ireland. Tickets are €15 per adult.

St. Patrick’s Cathedral

No visit to Dublin is complete without stepping inside the iconic St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Ireland’s largest Cathedral dating back over 800 years. It is a massive and ornate church that is not to be missed. The entrance fee is €10 per adult and if you are visiting on Sunday be aware of the reduced hours for mass in the middle of the day.

Teeling Whiskey Distillery

Dublin was once home to a major distilling district, called the Golden Triangle, which all but dried up in the early 20th century. It wasn’t until Teeling Whiskey Distillery opened their doors with the first new distillery in Dublin for over 125 years, with an old family distilling knowledge dating back to 1782.

Here you can take a guided tasting tour, learning the history, distilling process, and most importantly how to taste whiskey. Tickets start at €20 per person and you can upgrade your experience with additional small batch and single malt tastings at the end of the same tour.

Guinness Storehouse Experience

No two days in Dublin itinerary would be over until you visit the Guinness Storehouse Experience. Make your way the multi-story self guided tour to learn about the brewing process and history of Guinness, entry to Guinness Tasting Rooms, ending at the crowded Gravity Bar overlooking Dublin, with a pint of Guinness.

The self guided tour starts at €20 per adult and include a pint of Guinness at the Gravity Bar. In all honesty the experience is not very informative on the beer making process or about Guinness for that matter. However it is something everyone should check off their Dublin bucket list.

Dinner and Pubs

After exploring Dublin for 2 days you probably saw a restaurant or pub that you wanted to check out and your last night in Ireland is the perfect time to do that. If you are looking for some inspiration you can wander through the Temple Bar neighborhood stopping along a few pubs throughout the evening.

With only 48 hours it is impossible to see all the best things to do in Dublin, but we hope this itinerary has let you get a peek into what Dublin and Ireland has to offer. If you are looking to spend more time in Ireland, we also have a complete one week road trip to Ireland .

The Perfect 7-Day Japan Itinerary for First-Time Visitors

Japan captured my heart from the moment I firs visited. The delicious food, the rich culture, breathtaking landscapes, vibrant history, and the very friendly and polite people – it all blew my mind.

But Japan often feels impenetrable, especially to first-time visitors. While I think Japan deserves a minimum of 10 days, I get that some people might only have a week, so I wanted to write this, my ideal seven-day itinerary for Japan for a first-time visitor.

With only a week, there’s not much you can see unless you really rush it. And I don’t think you should do that.

So this itinerary only focuses on Tokyo and Kyoto (the most popular destinations) as well as some day trips from each. If you wanted to rush things a little, you could add in Osaka (more on that at the end).

(Note: If you purchased a Japan Rail Pass , activate it on arrival. That way, you can take advantage of the free JR trains throughout the city.)

Tsukiji and Toyosu Fish Markets Cure your jet lag with some food! In 2018, Tokyo’s main fish market moved to Toyosu. It is now twice the size of Tsukiji (the old one), making it the largest such market in the world. Here you can eat fresh sushi for breakfast, just a few feet from where it was hauled in from the sea, while marveling at the chaotic atmosphere.

You can still head to the old market in Tsukiji to eat, shop, and wander as well. I like it a lot, because there are more food options! Food and drink tours of the Tsukiji Outer Market are available for around 15,000 JPY.

Toyosu Fish Market is open Monday-Saturday 5am-5pm, though most shops don’t open until 7am. Admission is free, but you have to pick up a visitor’s pass when you enter. Tsukiji Fish Market’s hours vary by shop (usually 5am-2pm). Admission is free.

teamLab Planets This digital art installation is a multi-sensory and immersive experience in which you become part of the artwork, walking barefoot through the four exhibition spaces and gardens as you interact with the installations’ elements in unique ways. It’s really fun! TeamLab is generally sells out in advance, so I recommend getting your tickets online ahead of time .

Take a walking tour Walking tours are a great way to get the lay of the land while connecting with a local guide. I always go on one or two when I arrive somewhere. Tokyo Localized offers many free tours, including a classic overview and ones of both the famed Harajuku and Shinjuku neighborhoods. Its Imperial Palace tour would be the most convenient one after teamLab.

The Imperial Palace Formerly Edo Castle, the Imperial Palace was built in the 15th century, and some of the walls and moats from that time are still in use to this day. When the emperor moved from Kyoto to Tokyo in 1869, he took Edo for his new palace and renamed it. While you can’t go inside, it is surrounded by beautiful grounds, a moat, and a park worth wandering through. You can also see the changing-of-the-guard ceremony (though it’s relatively low-key and unassuming). Admission to the grounds is free.

Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden This park is over 144 acres and home to some 20,000 trees. Most of the original park was destroyed in World War II but was rebuilt and reopened in 1949. During spring, it is one of the best places to see cherry blossoms. My favorite area is the landscape garden, which has several ponds with bridges and islands. It’s a peaceful oasis away from the urban hustle and bustle.

Depending on how you feel relative to your jetlag, you could fit a few more activities before you end your day. Check out this post for suggestions .

• Senso-ji – This is Tokyo’s most popular and famous temple. Beautifully painted, it sits in a scenic spot near a pagoda and the lovely Kaminari Gate. There’s a huge statue of Kannon, the goddess of mercy, inside the main hall. It’s very busy during the day, so maybe check out the grounds in the evening.
• Asakusa Shrine – This nearby Shinto shrine is much more peaceful, with fewer visitors, but with people praying, meditating, or performing traditional rituals. It was built during the Edo period (1603–1868) and survived the air raids of World War II.

Afterward, head to Ueno Park . Spanning over 133 acres, Ueno Park was established in 1873 on land formerly owned by a 17th-century Buddhist temple. It gets super busy in cherry blossom season, as there are over a thousand trees here. Throughout, you’ll find various stalls and vendors selling snacks, drinks, and souvenirs. On weekends, there are usually cultural events or festivals showcasing traditional arts, music, and dance. Four of Tokyo’s main museums are here:

• Tokyo National Museum – Established in 1872 on the north end, this massive building is the oldest and largest art museum in Japan. It houses one of the world’s largest collections of art and artifacts from Asia, particularly Japan.
• Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum – This museum showcases rotating exhibitions of contemporary and traditional Japanese art.
• National Museum of Nature and Science – This museum features a wide range of permanent and temporary exhibitions covering natural science and history.
• Tosho-gu Shrine – This beautiful 17th-century Shinto shrine has carved gold doors and other ornate carvings. It’s worth seeing up close!

Afterward, walk down to Akihabara to explore the video game parlors, arcades, and anime shops. This very buzzy area is ground zero for all things electronic, and it’s fun to play many of the games. This is where you’ll find the famous maid cafés, where servers dress up as maids and serve you food and drinks. These range from big touristy ones to holes-in-the-wall (the girls on the street are promoting the latter, which are a lot more culturally fun). They aren’t cheap, though, as you have to buy drink packages and pay a fee, but they’re kitschy and fun.

In the evening, visit Shinjuku and then drink in Golden Gai . In Shinjuku, you’ll find a plethora of cool bars, bright lights, and tiny hole-in-the-wall eateries. Be sure to wander down Memory Lane (aka Piss Alley) for tiny izakaya joints and bars. Afterward, head over to Golden Gai, a warren of narrow alleyways with a bit of a red-light-district feel, flanked by diminutive backstreet bars. It’s quite touristy but also a lot of fun. I’ve had some wild nights here!

With Arigato Tours , you’ll learn about the neighborhood while stopping to sample Japanese classics like sushi, yakitori, and ramen. The 23,900 JPY cost includes a drink and dishes at four stops.  

Kamakura Here you can see a 13-meter (43-foot) bronze statue of Buddha that was built in 1252. It was initially constructed within Kotoku-in Temple, but that has since been washed away by several storms, so it now sits in the open air. Admission to enter the temple grounds is 300 JPY, while it’s 20 JPY to go inside the statue. The journey there — around an hour — is free with a Japan Rail Pass .

Tokyo Disneyland I’m a sucker for Disney. You’ll find many of the same classic rides from Disney World here, like Splash Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain, The Haunted Mansion, and everyone’s favorite teacup ride, The Mad Tea Party. But there are several unique attractions as well, like Pooh’s Hunny Hunt and Journey to the Center of the Earth.

Ticket prices vary depending on the day and time, but full-day admission begins at 7,900 JPY for adults and 4,400-6,200 JPY for children. It’s best to book in advance .

Mount Fuji Mount Fuji is located an hour outside of Tokyo. An active stratovolcano (which last erupted in 1708) and covered in snow for almost half of the year, it stands an impressive 3,776 meters (12,389 feet) and provides one of the most iconic views in the country. One of the Three Holy Mountains of Japan, Mount Fuji is both a Special Place of Scenic Beauty and a UNESCO Cultural Site. In the summer, the mountain is open to hikers, who take 5-12 hours to reach the summit (traditionally, they depart at night to arrive at the top for the sunrise).

If you don’t want to hike, you can simply visit on a day trip. There are buses that can take you partway up, where you’ll be offered sweeping vistas of the surrounding area. Guided day tours from the city cost around 12,000 JPY.  

Wander the Bamboo Forest For a relaxing break, head to Arashiyama and let the dense and towering stands of bamboo envelop you. Located near the famous Tenryu-ji temple, it’s one of the most beautiful places in the entire country. It’s not that big, but there are some hidden areas to explore. Just make sure to arrive early if you want to enjoy it without the crowds (it fills up fast after sunrise).

While there, I would also recommend visiting the Okochi Sanso Garden, which (along with the home) belonged to the famous Japanese actor Denjir? ?k?chi (1898–1962). It’s not free (it’s 1,000 JPY), but it’s really nice and has some wonderful views.

Visit the Golden Pavilion Originally built in the late 14th century as a retirement villa for the shogun (military governor), this iconic structure was later converted into a Zen Buddhist temple. The present-day edifice dates only to the 1950s, however, when a monk attempting to kill himself burned the historic original to the ground. The rebuilt temple is covered in brilliant gold leaf, symbolizing purity and enlightenment. Each of the three stories exhibits a different architectural style. Completing the scene are the serene reflecting pool and traditional Japanese gardens that contain lush foliage, manicured trees, and scenic walking paths.

1 Kinkakuji-cho, Kita-ku, Kyoto-shi, Kyoto, +81 075-461-0013, shokoku-ji.jp. Open daily 9am-5pm. Admission is 500 JPY.

Admire Ryoan-ji Temple This is my favorite temple in Kyoto. Originally established in 1450 as a residence for a high-ranking samurai, it was soon converted into a Zen temple and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with a mausoleum that houses the remains of seven emperors. Its traditional rock and sand garden is considered one of the best in the country. There’s also a teahouse where you can experience the traditional Japanese tea ceremony ( chanoyu ) as you overlook the Kyoyochi reflecting pool.

There are other temples in the area to check out as well:

• Daitoku-ji Temple – This massive complex dating back to 1315 covers almost 60 acres. It contains several dozen temples and is a good place to see a variety of Zen gardens and architectural styles. It’s also deeply linked to the Japanese tea ceremony, as several of the country’s most noteworthy masters studied here.
• Toji Temple – This is home to Japan’s tallest pagoda (five stories high). Founded in 796, just after Kyoto became the capital, it was one of only three Buddhist temples allowed in the city.

Go on a sake brewery tour Kyoto has a sake (rice wine) brewing tradition going back 400 years and is known for some of the best in the world, due to using the area’s pure natural spring water in the brewing process. Arigato Tours offers an excellent three-hour tour of Fushimi (the brewing district) for 23,320 JPY, including stops at several breweries, a guided tour of the Gekkeikan Okura Sake Museum, and tastings.  

See the Fushimi Inari Shrine This mountainside Shinto shrine, dating back to 711, is dedicated to Inari, the god of rice and prosperity. It’s known for its thousands of vibrant orange torii gates that form a network of trails leading up Mount Inari. You can hike the trails on your own while enjoying panoramic views of Kyoto below or join a guided hiking tour , on which you’ll get off the paved paths and into hidden bamboo groves. Get here as early as possible to avoid the crowds.

68 Fukakusa Yabunouchicho, +81756417331, inari.jp. Open 24/7. Admission is free.

Walk around Higashiyama Spend an afternoon walking along the narrow streets of one of the oldest and best preserved districts on your own or on a walking tour . The traditional machiya buildings (traditional wooden townhouses) are filled with small shops selling local specialties and handicrafts, as well as restaurants and teahouses. It’s a popular area in which to participate in a tea ceremony . Another nice place to stroll in this neighborhood is the Philosopher’s Path, which follows a cherry-tree-lined canal that’s beautiful and meditative even when the blossoms aren’t in season.

Visit Kiyomizu-dera One of a number of UNESCO sites in ancient Kyoto, Kiyomizu-dera (meaning “pure water temple”) is located in the foothills of Mount Otowa in the eastern part of the city. It’s one of the most famous temples in all of Japan. It was established in 778, but most of the existing buildings date to the 17th century. There’s not a single nail used in the construction, which becomes all the more impressive once you see how large the temple is, which is best known for its wooden terrace that juts out over the hillside. The temple’s name comes from the nearby waterfall whose waters (from which you can still drink today) are said to have wish-granting and healing powers.

1 Chome-294 Kiyomizu, +81 75-551-1234, kiyomizudera.or.jp. Open daily 6am-6pm. Admission is 400 JPY.

Explore Shorin-ji Temple This small temple dates back to the 16th century. What makes it worth visiting is its meditation classes. You’ll get to tour the temple and then be instructed in zazen , the Japanese style of meditation. It’s a very unique experience and something that I think will add a lot of depth and nuance to your visit (especially if you’ve seen a lot of temples). Just make sure to dress comfortably.

15 Chome-795 Honmachi, +81 75-561-4311, shourin-ji.org. Open daily 10am-4pm. Admission is 800 JPY.

Wander the Nishiki Market Nishiki Ichiba is now one of the biggest indoor markets in town. Known as “Kyoto’s Kitchen” and spanning over five blocks, it is full of vendors selling traditional dishes from the region, classic Kyoto souvenirs, and really just about anything else. There are over a hundred stalls here, many of which have been in the same family for generations. Opening hours depend on the shop but are typically from 9am to 6pm.

To dive deeper into Japanese food culture, you can take a food tour of the market . It’s the best way to learn about all the food you’ll see, as well as the market’s history.

Explore Gion Gion, the historic geisha district, is renowned as being one of the most iconic and atmospheric areas of town. It’s known for its traditional wooden machiya houses, narrow alleyways, cobblestone streets, and preservation of geisha (known locally as geiko) culture. Lining the main street are ochayas (teahouses where geishas entertain), small shops, and many restaurants, ranging from upscale kaiseki restaurants serving traditional Kyoto cuisine to casual eateries.

To really learn more about this amazing party of town and its past, take a walking tour of Gion . You’ll learn a ton and get a lot of context. They cost around 1,800 JPY.

At night, go to the Pontocho Row , a narrow street lined with restaurants, hole-in-the-wall bars, and jazz clubs. It’s one of the more lively areas in Kyoto.  

Nara was the capital of Japan in the eighth century, so there are lots of buildings and temples here that are upwards of a thousand years old (which is rare in Japan, due to the prevalence of fires and earthquakes, as well as World War II). Some things to do:

• Frolic with deer – The real draw in Nara are the deer. Since the 17th century, those in and around the city have been considered sacred. You can buy crackers to feed them or just watch them stroll around carefree.
• See the Buddha – Don’t miss a visit to Todai-ji, the world’s largest wooden building, home to a 16-meter (52-foot) Buddha statue. It was built in 738 and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
• Take a walking tour – This guided half-day walking tour for 11,500 JPY includes all of Nara’s highlights as well as a traditional lunch.

Ryogoku Kokugikan, Japan’s most famous sumo wrestling arena, hosts tournaments three times each year, in January, May, and September. Tickets sell out quickly, so book online in advance. Prices vary but start around 3,200 JPY for arena seats. You can book a ticket online here (you’ll be accompanied by a guide too, so you can learn more about the tradition as it unfolds before your eyes).

To learn more about the sport in in the off-season, book a tour of a sumo stable .  

So, if you want to add another city to this itinerary you can follow this breakdown:

• Days 1 & 2: Tokyo
• Days 3 & 4: Kyoto
• Day 5: Nara
• Days 6 & 7: Osaka

Tokyo, Kyoto, and Nara are all covered above. As for Osaka, some of my favorite things to see and do:

Take a food tour Known as “the Kitchen of Japan,” Osaka boasts a diverse culinary scene. Mouthwatering sushi and sashimi, Kobe beef and Japanese BBQ, and flavorful ramen can all be found here in abundance. Plus, there are local specialties like okonomiyaki (a savory pancake with egg and vegetables) and kushikatsu (kebab skewers). You can take a food tour for around 13,000 JPY, a ramen and gyoza cooking class for 9,500 JPY, or just wander and eat.

Osaka Castle One of the most famous landmarks in the country, the castle was originally built in the late 16th century by Toyotomi Hideyoshi and played a pivotal role in the unification of Japan during the Sengoku period (1467-1615). Over the centuries, it has been destroyed and rebuilt multiple times due to wars, fires, and natural disasters. The current version dates to 1931. The castle is situated amid sprawling grounds and surrounded by a moat. It’s also home to a small but insightful museum and an observation deck that offers some picturesque urban views.

Dotonbori This is arguably Osaka’s most iconic district, known for its vibrant nightlife (bars, clubs, theaters, and music venues), colorful signage, and delicious food. It’s best seen at night due to the plethora of huge neon lights and signs lining both the canal and streets, which have become symbols of Osaka’s nightlife. A guided walking tour that includes Dotonbori as well adjacent neighborhoods is 6,500 JPY.

Shitennoji Temple This temple is one of the oldest Buddhist temples in Japan, founded in 593. The architecture is a blend of traditional Japanese and East Asian styles, featuring impressive pagodas, gates, and shrines set amid serene gardens. Stroll through the tranquil grounds, admire the beautiful architecture, and learn about the temple’s historical and cultural significance at the museum. The temple is 300 JPY to enter, the garden is 300 JPY, and the museum is 500 JPY.  

Japan is one of my favorite countries. While it’s relatively small, it offers an amazing array of things to see and do (as well as some of the best food in the world). With seven days, you can easily see a good number of the main highlights and get a taste for the incredible history and culture. It will be a busy week, but this itinerary ensures you’ll still have some time to slow down, relax, and take in the local pace of life.

Just make sure you get a Japan Rail Pass before you go. While it’s not as cheap as it used to be, it will likely save you time and money!

Book Your Accommodation You can book your hostel with Hostelworld as they have the most comprehensive inventory so they are best for booking a hostel. If you want to stay in a hotel or guesthouse in Japan, use Booking.com as it consistently returns the cheapest rates for guesthouses and hotels.

Don’t Forget Travel Insurance Travel insurance will protect you against illness, injury, theft, and cancelations. It’s comprehensive protection in case anything goes wrong. I never go on a trip without it, as I’ve had to use it many times in the past. My favorite companies that offer the best service and value are:

• Safety Wing (best for everyone)
• Insure My Trip (for those over 70)
• Medjet (for additional evacuation coverage)
