Lakes and Waterfronts

Udaipur’s historic water management system is showcased through these diverse reservoirs and viewpoints. Lake Pichola, dating back to 1362, serves as the city's centerpiece with its island palaces, while the adjacent Dudh Talai and Sunset Point offer elevated views of the City Palace complex. The collection extends to the secluded Purohito Ka Talab, known for its red stone architecture, and Dhebar Lake, one of India’s largest 17th-century artificial freshwater bodies featuring ornate marble cenotaphs.
