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

Lake Pichhola is quite big and we enjoyed a lot boating in it. The views are quite awesome. One side you can see the Aravali range and other side there is city palace. There are hotels like Lake Palace and Jag mandir in the lake itself and offer great views. Even in scorching heat of May, it felt very pleasant... More

The lake is delightful, from the mountain vistas to the historic palaces that seem to be everywhere, to the ghats where locals come to swim, wash,play and cool down. Well worth taking a boat cruise for and hour or two. Wave to the friendly kids as they show off, jumping from rooftops into the lake.

This place oozes romance. The small little pathways with designer boutiques, small old havellis converted into boutique hotels. Amazing eating options all around the lake. This entire area around the lake makes it so special. Only wish there was more cleanliness around this area.

This is a reasonably clean lake. The boating trips are quite expensive though (100-200 bucks per head), but enjoyable.

An oasis and more. The lakes of Udaipur make this region one of the best destinations in India. The shorter boat tours provide great picture opportunities and welcome relief form the heat and dust.

There is something just magical about this lake that it makes u go there...it could be due to the presence of the Taj Lake Palace and Jag Mandir within the lake.. or the Udayvilas at its banks... but it does feel wonderful to be either at the lake side or having a boat ride in it...esp around sunset! Just check... More

Lake Pichhola is one of five man made lakes on which the beautiful Indian City of Udaipur is situated. It is famous because of the Lake Palace, a fairytale like structure in the middle of the lake. After a visit to the Palace and Fort we cooled off by taking a boat ride around its shores enabling us to view... More
