Gorge on a scrumptious Rajasthani Thali on your way back and spend the night at your hotel.

Day 2- Visit Kumbhalgarh Fort and Ambrai Ghat

It is a UNESCO World Heritage site which gives sprawling views of the Aravalli Hills. It is said that the Mewar ruler Maharana Pratap used the Kumbhalgarh Fort as a refuge centre during the times of war. Although some parts of the fort is in ruins, it is a must-visit place if you are an archaeological enthusiast.

Located close to Lake Pichola, Ambrai Ghat is the place to be to finish off your Udaipur 2 nights and 3 days vacation in style. Apart from offering gleaming reflections of the City Palace, this is also the ideal place to chill after a tiring day of Heritage walks. You will see a lot of young crowd around Ambrai Ghat as this is a truly picturesque location. Try out some of the mouth-watering Udaipur street food dishes from the stalls located close to the Ghat. There is no way you are living Udaipur without trying out Indian chaat! Head back to your hotel and get ready for the final day of your Udaipur trip.

Must try: Boat ride over the Ghat and witnessing Taj Lake Palace situated in the centre of the lake.
