Udaipur in a day — City Palace + Jagdish + lake boat
City Palace (Udaipur's defining monument) by 9am. 11-palace complex (1559 onwards). Full tour takes 3 hours — allow for Crystal Gallery, Zenana Mahal, Sheesh Mahal, museum artifacts. ₹300 Indians / ₹700 foreigners. Breakfast at Upre by 1559 AD (palace restaurant) or Cafe Edelweiss (near Jagdish).
Jagdish Temple (3 min walk from City Palace) — 1651 Vishnu temple with black marble idol and 32 carved elephant steps. Free. 30 min. Lunch at Ambrai Restaurant (lakeside, opposite Ambrai ghat, best sunset view in Udaipur so book for sunset too, or visit twice) or Upre 1559 again.
Lake Pichola boat ride (₹400–900 depending on Jag Mandir stop, 60–90 min). Sunset cruise is iconic — but demand outstrips supply, book morning-of. Alternative: Saheliyon Ki Bari (Garden of Maidens, 1710, central fountains + lotus pool + marble kiosks, ₹10).
Bagore Ki Haveli cultural show (7pm–8pm, ₹100) — Dharohar folk dance performance in a 18th-century haveli. Dinner at 1559 AD rooftop or Ambrai. Sunset over Lake Pichola from Ambrai Ghat: the one image you'll take home.
