Lakes
of Udaipur
Udaipur is known as the 'city of lakes'. The two most scenic and
famous lakes of the city are Lake 
Pichola
and Lake Fateh Sagar. Lake Pichola is surrounded by hills, palaces,
temples, bathing ghats and has two island palaces- Jag Niwas and
Jag Mandir.
Lake
Fateh sagar, lies to north of Pichola and was built by Maharana
Jai Singh but it got the name of Fateh Singh who rebuilt its dam.
Both the lakes are breathtakingly beautiful and one can take a
cruise on their waters. The Sunset over these lakes are moments
to be cherished.
City

The imposing City Palace, towering over the lake, is the largest
palace complex in Rajasthan. The palace is surmounted by balconies,
towers and cupolas and there are fine views over the lake and
the city from the upper terraces. The palace stands along the
shores of Pichola.
