Serene place

Evening is the best time to visit Lake Pichola. The boat ride soothes your soul by offering mesmerizing views of the sunset as well as other sites such as Hotel Taj, Jag mandir etc.

Heart of Udaipur
Aug 2021
Pichola lake is an artificial fresh water lake, and is one of the several lakes in Udaipur. It would not be wrong to say pichola lake as the heart of the city. Most of the luxury properties in Udaipur are in and around the Pichola lake.
There are four small islands on the lake, namely, jag mandir, jag niwas, mohan mandir and arsi vilas. We had a private boat ride for around an hour in the lake and the view of the sunset was beautiful. We also enjoyed the view of the ghats while having the boat ride.
Would recommend a visit in the evening, if you want to enjoy a boat ride.

The Family Boat Ride is worth it
Aug 2021
We were a family of 10, so we took the Private Boat Ride, rather than the Group Boat, keeping in mind the Pandemic, all precautions were followed by the staff. We saw the so called Lavish Hotels of Udaipur during the boat ride, I felt it was not extraordinary but was worth it for the kids.

It is a large lake and many important places like City Palace, Bangur ki haveli are on the bank. Jag Mandir is on an island in the lake. Important ghats like Gangaur ghat is on the bank.

Hi
Didn’t see any on the lake itself or moored at the sides. However, it was winter and fairly chilly.
Possibly, they are there in warmer seasons.
Thinking about it, apart from the larger tourist boats, I didn’t see any small craft, leisure or otherwise.
Camels, etc available for hire for rides along sections of the shore.
Udaipur’s wonderful! Do enjoy.
Best Regards.

No pedal boating is allowed in lake pichola. There are 2 kinds of boat one is general where there is seating capacity is 20/30 and another category is luxurious where you get cushion seats like sofa and having 8/10 seater or even you can hire the whole boat.
If you enjoy speed boating then you can try at fathe sagar lake

Lake Pichola, Fateh sagar, city palace, saheli ki badi, biological park, sajjan garh and shopping at Hathipole, eat natraj ka thali, chaat at sukhadia circle. This should be enough i guess

Planning to visit Udaipur with my wife in mid October for 4 days. Please advise what should be the best possible itinerary and cover most of the spots in a economical way (local transportation cost etc.). Can Chittorgarh be covered? is any help for local sightseeing by RTDC?

Hire taxi for full day will cost you Rs.1400/- in 5-6 hrs you can visit all the local famous spots of Udaipur ,next day again hire taxi that will cover 3 places out of Udaipur.Keep in mind that on first day reach city palace by 11 AM than go for boating in Pichhola lake before 2 PM after 4 PM the ticket of boat is charged Rs.800/- per head ,the food/drinks at island during boating is too costly lassi costs Rs.200/- beer 400/- ,so better have lunch in Udaipur city before or after boating not even even in restaurant in city palace.
