Udaipur sits along a couple of lakes and there are great views. It's quite touristy which means lots of places to eat!
Arrived early on the train that wasn't cancelled and got a tuk-tuk with Salim who turned out to be helpful and not quoting silly prices. So we booked him for day 2 but went walkabout for the first day. Found the tourist office who probably never see a tourist but got a good map and a bit of advice. Bought some clothes, visited a temple on way back then meal overlooking lake. Decided to stay an extra day.
Next day took in the views, visited a temple and royal tombs, the princess's pleasure garden, the city palace and a few other things before dining in luxury for a nice change.
Had car and driver to visit the huge Kumbhalgarh fort and the Jain temple at Ranakpur which has amazing carvings, but all pics on Judy's camera. Great day trip.
Fourth day caught local bus 20km to Ecklingji temple which was great but no photos allowed. Great thali on way back and bought a couple of miniature paintings which seem to be a local speciality.
Off to Jodhpur by bus tomorrow early.
