208. Udaipur, India
SUBMITTED BY: http://nicandrob.wordpress.com
Udaipur is a lake-side city in Rajasthan, India. In a three week touristy trip to India, Udaipur was easily the most beautiful and romantic place that I stayed, and I wished I could have stayed longer than the three days I had planned.
The city feels somehow feels small and magnificently grand at the same time. In one day you can explore tiny alleyway shops selling hand-bound notebooks, relax with hot tea and cakes in a European style cafe overlooking the lake. You can get lost in the centuries old havelis and palaces with their hidden waterfront gardens, ornate balconies and secret alcoves for secret meetings. By far the best views though are from the lake itself, getting closer to the Lake Palace (of Octopussy fame) Jagmandir Island and the distant Monsoon Palace.
