Along with the huts and houses, Shilpgram also has a lot of local art and craft on display to buy as well as traditional dancing, music and a puppet show. All of this is going on whilst you're walking around so keep an eye out or an ear open!
Fateh Sagar Lake is the second artificial lake of Udaipur, the first being Jaisamand lake. Located in the north of Lake Pichola, Fateh Sagar Lake lies just besides the entrance to Moti Magri Hill. Built in 1678 by Maharana Jai Singh, Fateh Sagar Lake got its name from Maharana Fateh Singh, who later made additions to it. Talking about the statistics of Fateh Sagar, the lake extends to the length of 2.4 km, 1.6 km. in width and deep to the extent of 11.5 meter. During the monsoons, the lake covers the total area of around 1 sq km.
Fateh Sagar Lake is well-planned with three intake channels and an overflow channel that is usually brought into play in the rainy season. Fateh Sagar Lake is embellished by three small islands, which can be reached by taking a boat ride in the lake. The largest island of the lake is developed into a park by the name of Nehru Park. The garden comprises a boat-shaped restaurant and a small zoo for children. This island park is the favorite picnic spot of Udaipur dwellers.
The second island is converted into a public park with brilliant water-jet fountains by the Government of Rajasthan. The third island addresses Udaipur Solar Observatory, which is the best solar observing site in Asia. Fateh Sagar Lake is quiet place where people usually come for relaxation and to lighten up amidst the serene waters of the lake. From the bottom of Moti Magri Hill, you can hire pedal boats or motor boats as per your convenience to enjoy a boat ride in the lake.
This pear-shaped lake is encircled by hills, with the exception of its eastern side, where a straight stone dam is to be found. You can enjoy this lake taking its circumference while driving through Moti Magri Road, Fateh Sagar Drive and Rani Road. This twisting route would present stunning views of the lake as well as the encompassing Aravalli Hills. Fateh Sagar Lake is a nice place to explore and tourists certainly come to enjoy the tranquil beauty of this lake.
We had tea & scones here while visiting the palace. The variety of cakes & desserts was large and difficult to choose, but we settled for some old fashioned scones. Served with Fresh Cream & Jam. I had a look at the dinner menu - it was extensive , with both vegetarian dishes, and many Mughal meat dishes. I regret not having proper meal here.........the atmosphere and views were great. It overlooks the lake, and service was quietly efficient. Afternoon Chai & Scones
built by maharaja jagat singh II in 1754 and converted into one of the best hotel in the world in 1965 bymaharaja bhagwat singh. Inside the palace is great courtyard ,a nice garden,fountains and overlypriced restaurant. although a nice place to vist only way to get inside is to have lunch ,dinner or to stay here.
This was the party-crib of the Maharaja. Situated on top of a mountain you get a great view over all of Udaipur with its two main lakes. The place is a little bit run down by now - not to say in ruins - but you can still feel the fairytale-style of its hey-days.
Plus during our visit there was a bollywood film project going on - with a "famous" actor according to our rickshaw driver....so the location really is something special!
Watch out for the next bollywood blockbuster!
Oh, no! I already know what will be soon on daily show next to James Bond in every place in Udaipur ;-)
