Udaipur Guest Houses - Reviews and Rates

We extended in Rahjastan for a few extra nights as we thought we should do it properly, we are leaving for kuala lumpa on 4th now. we have rented a super cheap taxi for 10 days and he is driving us 1,700 miles around this state. so far we have been to Delhi, Agra to see the Taj Mahal which is brilliant, we went to Ranthambone Park which is like ...

We met at 8am downstairs to head back to Rainbow restaurant (which has opened just for us) to have some breakfast. The waiter was high on something and giggled his way through the entire ordering process. I never knew Indians could blush until then...! It took a while for the food to come and we pretty much scoffed it down so fast so we could ge...

The bus to Udaipur from Jodhpur is a luxury bus. This means it has assigned seats above which are metal boxes that are called sleeper berths but look like ideal for cattle transportation. The best thing about this bus is it's horn. Imagine all slotmachines in a vegas casino spinning a mega jackpot at the very same time. The sound it would produc...

So Michael, Edie, and I used our day off to visit Ranakpur and Kumbhalgarh fort. We rented a taxi/car for the day which cost 2400 rupees ($60), and we left at 6:30 a.m It took us about 2 hours to get to Adohi (pronounced "Audi") hotel where we had breakfast. I was so excited to eggs, pancakes, ham, sausage, bacon on the menu! But as I always fin...

From Dungarpur we took another detour, in order to visit Jaisamand lake, one of the largest manmade freshwater lakes in asia, or something. This was well worth doing, as it required us to camp wild, which I had hitherto been frankly too scared to try. Peter being an old hand put me at my ease, and his stove meant we didn't even have to go hungry...

Greetings from Udaipur in Rajasthan, also known (by overly romantic Westerners) as the Lake City. This evning we will travel by train - First Class mind you - to Ahmedebad in the state of Gujurat. We're both intruiged by what First Class will entail. Paradoxically, it's not the best class of train travel in India. It's not even scond best. First...

Udaipur is a beautiful city set on a large lake in southern Rajasthan, with a famous "floating" palace--it's really an island; now a luxury hotel--in the middle of the lake. Octopussy was filmed here (the palace and all over the city/region), and it seems that every backpacker hotel and restaurant cashes in on this and shows the 007 flick nightl...

Hauling ourselves out of our snug bed we pootled on down to the palace again, this time to go on a boat trip across the lake, which took in one of the smaller island palaces on Jagmandir Island. The boat was a typical little tourist water bus which was covered by a canopy. The sides were still draped in marigold garlands left over from the weddi...

Well we have just spent 2 days in Udaipur - city of Lakes, there are 2 or 3 of them Apparently though until about 6 weeks ago they had completely dried up, and people were getting tuk-tuks across the lake bed! We are pretty lucky in fact because they have just had the most rain for 8 years. We thought it was a bit of a haven after the manic stre...
