Better Alternatives to Udaipur

Bundi
Go here instead

Bundi

The Rajasthan that tourism forgot — 50 stepwells, a crumbling fort, painted havelis, and zero selfie sticks.

Bundi has the stepwells, murals, and palace that Udaipur had before the tourists arrived. Taragarh Fort at sunset with zero other people is what travel dreams are made of.

Dungarpur

The palace town south of Udaipur that even palace enthusiasts don't know about.

Juna Mahal palace — 700 years of untouched murals and mirror work that rivals anything in Udaipur. Gaep Sagar lake at sunset. And you'll have it all to yourself.
