Explore the sacred waterfront steps, or ghats, of Udaipur on this guided walking tour of the city, and admire its ancient architecture on a boat cruise of Lake Pichola.

Itinerary

Water is sacred in Hinduism, making rivers, lakes, and oceans important in Indian culture. Many cities have ghats, stepped embankments leading to the water used for bathing, laundry, and religious rites. Lake Pichola in Udaipur is surrounded by several ghats, including Ambrai Ghat, the meeting point for this tour.

On your tour of Udaipur's ghats, you'll stroll along the banks of Lake Pichola, while an expert guide explains the significance of the steps and the water to the locals. Starting from Ambrai Ghat, one of the city's romantic spots, you'll visit Hanuman Ghat and Gangaur Ghat. These locations provide views of the temples and havelis that border the lake.

The walk concludes at the dock at Lal Ghat, where you'll board a boat for a cruise of Lake Pichola. As you sail across the calm waters, you'll see the lake's islands, featuring notable buildings like the Lake Palace and Jag Mandir Palace.

Your tour will end back at the Lal Ghat port.
