All of this during the monsoon season? Why not! Trust us, you will catch solid sunsets during the rainy season as well! Ever seen a dhansu sunset after rain? Exactly! Now check out must-to-do activities in Udaipur during monsoons.

7 Activities To Do When In Udaipur During Monsoon

1. Boat Ride At Lake Pichola

If you are a hardcore lover of Bollywood or crazy about Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, you might know that there was a very cute scene shot at Lake Pichola which was never used for the film. Naina and Bunny are enjoying a slow boat ride at the majestic Lake Pichola, an artificial freshwater lake, with iconic views of the Taj Lake Palace, City Palace and its surroundings. The views are just breathtaking; every picture you click is simply Instagram-worthy.

2. Visit The Sajjan Garh Palace Or Monsoon Palace

Coming to Udaipur in monsoons and skipping out on its gorgeous Monsoon Palace? Surely not! 1884’s Sajjan Garh Palace, also known as Monsoon Palace, is situated hilltop at about 3100 feet above sea level. It overlooks the tranquil Fateh Sagar Lake of Udaipur and offers scenic landscapes of this city as the skies turn grey, indicating the incoming rains. The reason why it is called the ‘Monsoon Palace’ is because it appears to be a shining white pearl amidst the rain, grey skies and greenery.

3. Explore The City Palace

When mentioning palaces, we can’t forget about the splendid City Palace which was built more than 400 years ago! The grandeur of this palace is one of the best things you will witness in this city! It is steeped in history and culture with ethereal views that will mesmerise you to the core! From the tiny windows and viewing decks, you can catch a panoramic view of Lake Pichola while on the other side, you can see the city life from above during monsoons.

4. Trekking At Aravalli Hills

Monsoon treks are always a must-do and you will be glad to know that you can embark on a trek at Aravalli Hills. Keeping in mind the safety and precaution, you and your family can plan a trekking day at these hills. Enjoy the glorious views of the gushing waterfalls, dense forests and more.

5. Photoshoot At Saheliyon Ki Bari

Saheliyon Ki Bari is a common tourist spot in Udaipur which has significant vibrant bougainvillaea, pretty doors, a shallow pond-like arrangement with fountains and more. Nonetheless, it is a stunning place which was made as a leisure spot for some of the royal women. At a glimpse, you will understand why it is a perfect place to shoot some classy pictures in Indian attires and jhumkas.

6. Go To Sajjangarh Wildlife Sanctuary

Explore the wildlife of Rajasthan at the Sajjangarh Wildlife Sanctuary. Udaipur has a plethora of tourist attractions but visiting this will also showcase a different side of this city. Here, you will get a chance to see endangered animals and also have migratory birds during migration. Go explore the dense forests during the monsoon season in Udaipur.

7. Experience The Rich Culture Of Rajasthan At Bagore Ki Haveli

Bagore ki Haveli is a cultural centre in Udaipur known for hosting one of the most fascinating events where the culture and traditions of Rajasthan come together. ‘Dharohar’ is an event where you can enjoy local women beautifully dressed up in ethnic attire performing with ignited brass pots on their heads. There is music and dance and the scene is very lively which is unlike most cultural programmes you have ever seen. This place hosts many more activities like musical performances, puppet shows and more
