In this article, you’ll know about the forts and palaces in Udaipur and around the city. The souvenirs of the Mewar Kingdom portray the lavish lives of the Mewar rulers and their royal families. The design and architecture of these Palaces and forts are remarkable and worth appreciating; these ancient buildings with such complex architectural beauty depict that in-spite of not having machines at that time, the skill was personified. Stated below are the Udaipur Forts and Palaces that must be explored by visitors. • City Palace was built by Maharana Udai Singh II, when he decided to shift the Capital from Chittorgarh to Udaipur, as Mewar was at war with Mughals so he decided to shift the capital to a safer place; hence in 1553 the construction of City Palace began. • The City Palace later went into the hands of Mughals after the death of Maharana Pratap and later was again handed to Amar Singh I, until the independence when the property came under Government.

Being at the top of the hill overlooking the city, you get beautifully views of the city and both the lakes. We visited the palace in the morning but have read a lot of reviews about amazing views during sunset. The palace itself doesn’t really have anything left to see. There just a few things made to promote wildlife tourism of Rajasthan. But the views are amazing and if you have time, you must visit. The road leading to the palace has a lot of curves and steep climbs so if you are on rented bikes and not very comfortable driving you can park you bikes at the entrance and take a ride in the cars available at the entrance at a cost. The fort offers a beautiful view of the sunset but usually is crowded so make sure to reach early to grap a spot. The place right next to the entry offers a lovely view of udaipur. There nothing much to do here other than the view. The way to the palace goes through hilly roads so is fun.If you are on a tight schedule for udaipur this can be skipped. There is an entry fees aproxx 110/ person + Vehicle charges are there too I planned my itenary to visit this palace. We reached here, but the feedback that we got from the locals is that this place is worth only during Monsoon. Infact this was the monsoon capital of the king, as the king visited this only during rainy season. Hence the name Monsoon palace During other seasons, there is no point going to the top. It will be just like any other place. The views you get from Karni mataji or Kumbhalga...
