Udaipur is India"s most romantic city. Situated on 3 lakes it"s been the setting for many films including James Bond"s Octopussy. Most hotels play the film on a daily basis, so your group can get a glimpse at what they"ll see the next day when they travel with rented minibus. And while 007 is about dangerous end of the world plots, Udaipur is more about relaxing and taking in the city"s charm.
Of course you"ll want to start with your best Roger Moore accent and reenactment of the world"s most iconic secret agent. Two palaces feature heavily during the film and are arguably Udaipur"s most stunning attractions. Monsoon Palace was built in 1884 and is high in the Aravalli Hills outside the city. Built from white marble and full of exquisite rooms and courtyards its where Bond had is final encounter with the villains in Octopussy. From the palace there are stunning views of Udaipur. Shiv Niwas Palace and the Lake Palace Hotel were also used in the filming and are equally impressive.
Udaipur"s City Palace is 244 metres long and stands above Lake Pichola. Made from marble and granite you will also find breathtaking murals, wall paintings, mirror-work throughout the huge complex. The 18th century Bagore-ki-Haveli is an old palace with over 100 rooms and a large collection of Mehaw paintings.
With a bus driver you can easily cover Udaipur"s outlaying attractions in one day. Start at Ahar Musuem and marvel at 250 cenotaphs that have been built over 350 years. It"s easy to get lost within the maze of these 4 metre high domed buildings. Eklingji Temple is one of the most famous in Rajasthan and is 22km away. Then head south east to Jagat village and the 10th century Jagat temple which is famous for i intricately carved exteriors. On the way back stop at Nagda, a complex of big and small temples, the most famous of which is the Sas Bahu Temple.
From Udaipur in the south of Rajasthan most groups with a coach head north towards Jodhpur and the sights of the central region. It"s a 5 hour drive to Jodhpur but there are a couple of great places to break the journey. Try either Mount Abu (1.5 hour), Rajasthan"s only hill station or head east towards Bundi, an old desert oasis. On the way north you"ll pass the green hills of through Kumbhal Garh National Park which are dotted with occasional memories of India"s colonial past.
