Udaipur Inns - Reviews and Rates

We made it back to Udaipur safely! and the city has never looked this good. Our drive to Jaisalmer was long, about 10 hours and was definitely an experience. The roads were super narrow a lot of the way, especially through the mountains. I guess you could say that we were all a little on edge until we got to the city. It's a lot hotter there th...

I arrived in Udaipur with heavy heart and more than my fair share of bruises. I needed a miracle to lift my spirits - suffice to say its lucky I chose Udaipur! Absoloutely fantastic place, with the perfect hotel and a couple of bookshops (I had started to run out) I will write more and upload more pictures when I find a cafe with better connecti...

I was lucky to be here just on time for a festival celebrating Lord Krishna's bir...

I'm up early for fresh coffee and toast at the German Bakery (Cafe Edelweiss) as it opens. A legless man on a board wheels his way to the entrance to be uncomfortably ignored by the patrons. Across the street, women sweep up the litter and cart it away, leaving a heap of porridge for the stray dogs and cattle. Seconds later, another woman tips h...
