After the craziness of Delhi, Agra and Jaipur, Udaipur makes a refreshing change. The city, surrounded by forested hills, backs onto the delightful Lake Pichola, giving it an open, breezy feel much-loved by local and international visitors. The best way to explore is to set off on a lake cruise, admiring the temples, ghats and houses as you go. Many cruises stop off on the island in the centre of the lake, where the Lake Palace Hotel offers refreshments served among its pretty rose gardens.
