Abstract

The lakes of Udaipur are star tourist attractions that support the city’s economy. Jagniwas, today known as the Lake Palace, is one of the most expensive luxury heritage hotels of India. Other havelis on the lake, such as Bagore ki Haveli on Pichola Lake’s Gangaur Ghat, are favourite tourist spots, as are the islands. Tourists can avail of exotic experiences like camel rides, and more prosaic offerings such as popcorn and roasted peanuts. In recent years, the city has become a location for destination weddings of Indian and foreign celebrities.
