Udaipur, city of lakes

Udaipur is probably the second best city i visited in India besides Amritsar. But Udaipur has probably the best guesthouse ever in India, the Mewargarh Palace. My impression on the city : very humid, lakes everywhere and very clean markets. It is a little tranquil city, totally safe and nice to have a walk at night. It was my second stop during my trip to India, just after Mumbai. So you can imagine how i feel, when arriving at Udaipur from Mumbai, the total opposite of Udaipur.

View of Udaipur from our guesthouse.
the kitchen, the dining room and also a place to hangout.

The Lake Palace at the centre of the lake.

Weird portrays.
Maharana Pratap and his famous horse, Chetak, probably more famous than his owner.
They both fought bravely and died together.
Guess what, this is actually a cemetery for the royalties. Each dome is a tomb.


At the local market. Spices!!!!!!
I am not sure what it is. I guess it is some sort of cane sugar or something.


They all line up so well, and the floor is so clean!!!
Goats chilling at the local morning market.
For all the street food i tasted in India, this stall sells the best street food.
