Located in the heart of the city, Pichola Lake is the oldest and one of the largest lakes of Udaipur. Pichola Lake is enveloped by lofty Palaces, temples, bathing ghats and elevated hills on all its sides. In the southern part of this lake, there is a hill that is known as Machhala Magra and one can see glimpse of Eklinggarh Fort from here. The City Palace of Udaipur broadens along the eastern banks of this lake. Built by Jagat Singh, Mohan Mandir is situated in the north-east corner of Lake Pichola. Lake Pichola comprises several islands that accompany the calm waters of the lake. The world-renowned Lake Palace is perfectly located on the Jag Island of this tranquil lake. Even the Jag Mandir, another destination of tourists, is located on an island of this lake. Above all, a trip to Pichola Lake would be incomplete with a boat ride. The pristine blue waters of the lake leave a soothing impact on the spectator. At the time sun-set, a boat ride in this lake is sufficient to enthrall anyone. « less

This was my 4th trip to Udaipur and my heart still skips a beat when I see the lake at night, with the Lake Palace in the middle. This is truly one of the most romantic places in the world!

We ate here 2 nights and it was very good. The roof terrace had wonderful views across the Lake to the Palace and other hotels and buildings. Very atmospheric as it was dark. The staff were very attentive and the price was very good. Worth a visit.

The lake is beautiful especially post monsoons and just before the winter season. The boat experience is good wherein you will be taken in a big boat along with other tourists and dropped at the Lake Palace at the center of the lake. There they have a lot of programs lined up during the evening. You can return the same... More

Lake Pichola is the most picturesque lake of Udaipur. The lake is about 2.5 miles long and 1.5 mile broad, which gets its water from a big stream from the western mountains. I was so pleased to see a such a beautiful lake.. This lake is encircled by huge white palaces, dark and bare hills, rows of bathing ghats crowded... More

This lake would probably be the only lake in India and world to have four 5 star hotels, 1 seven star hotel and a fort and palace on its shores. This lake has the Oberoi Udaivillas, Leela, Trident and Fateh Sagar Palace on its shores and Taj Lake Palace is situated in the lake. The Udaipur City Palace is built... More

A ride on Lake Pichola, specially in the evening is just amazing. The lights surrounding the lake give it a surreal look. The nights when there is a wedding at Jagmandir, its decorated like a bride and the reflection of all the colorful lights in the waters of Pichola give it an unforgettable character - enough to lift up anyone's...

Definitely go for a boat ride and you can also include the boat ride to Jagmandir, view the lake sunset, either from the surface or atop the hill beyond the cable car and go to the other side for a sunrise view with the City Palace in the foreground
