Free Walking Tour of Udaipur
Discover the so-called "Venice of India" on this guided walking tour of the beautiful historic centre of Udaipur, the spectacular city located on the banks of Lake Pichola. What's more, it's FREE!
Itinerary
Meet your guide to begin your free walking tour of Udaipur at the Ghanta Ghar in the heart of the city. This clocktower was built as a souvenir to the Mewar royal family, some of whom still live in the City Palace to this day.
Passing through the ancient market, you'll reach another of Udaipur's important monuments also linked to the Mewar family: the majestic Bagore Ki Haveli. "Haveli" translates as a type of traditional Indian mansion; learn where the roots of the term come from as you admire the elaborate architecture of this beautiful building.
You'll continue your free tour of Udaipur wandering along the banks of Lake Pichola. Admire the enormous City Palace and the famous ghats, the stepped embankments leading down to the water. Your guide will explain what these steps are used for in Indian religion and culture.
Finally, you'll reach the Tripolia Gate, and your guided walking tour will come to an end in front of the spectacular Jagat Shiromani Temple. Admire the intricate figures engraved into its walls; through the scenes represented in this panels, you'll gain fascinating insight into Hindu beliefs and traditions.
