History & Heritage
Udaipur was founded in 1559 by Maharana Udai Singh II as the new capital of the Mewar kingdom after the fall of Chittorgarh. Surrounded by the Aravalli Hills, the city was strategically chosen for its natural defenses and beauty. The City Palace, perched on the banks of Lake Pichola, is a magnificent complex that reflects centuries of construction by different rulers, blending Rajput and Mughal architectural styles.

The city has managed to preserve its royal legacy while maintaining a tranquil atmosphere, making it a standout destination in Rajasthan.
