The Oberoi Udaivilas

Take a tour of the City Palace, built in 1567, and wander through the four major palaces within. See Jagdish Temple, dedicated to Lord Vishnu, with its 79-foot-tall pagoda and fabulous sculptures. Take a boat ride past the small islands on Lake Fateh Sagar, and stop at the garden of Nehru Park, or glide through Lake Pichola to Lake Palace of Jag Island. Head out into the city to shop for handicrafts, pottery, jewelry and antiques at the amazing local bazaars, or delight in a fabulous Indian cooking class. Visit the Temple of Eklingji, chiseled from sandstone and marble in 734 AD, situated in a beautiful mountain pass on the way to Nathdwara. After exploring the ancient wonders of Udaipur, return to the hotel to lounge by the pool, dip in the cool waters, or relax at The Oberoi Spa, and unwind for the evening. As the stars come out overhead, dine at Udaimahal for amazing Rajasthani and Northern Indian cuisine, or go casual at Suryamahal, where Western, Mediterranean and Thai fusion is served in a wonderful 1930s-style ambiance. Drift off to sleep that night, comfortable in your plush surroundings, and dream of your next adventure in India.
