 Udaipur,
'the City of Dreams' is perhaps the most romantic city
in Rajasthan. Encircled by the Aravali mountains,
the lakes, palaces and gardens present an exquisite
beauty which never fails to impress. The wonderful city
was born out of the necessity of the ruling clan for
peace, calm and security after the various Mughal invasions
on their previous capital Chittor. The then Maharana,
Udai Singhji, after the third siege of his capital Chittor
in 1568-69, looking for an agreeable and a safe place
to build his capital, came across the lake pichola.
With the blessing of a holy sage of the region, built
his palace on the banks of this lake. Today Udaipur
is city of palaces encircling three lakes. To this day,
in a shrine in the heart of the city palace, a flame
burns in gratitude to the ascetic and, so Udaipur was
born in the midst of a fertile valley on the banks of
the Lake
Pichola.
Dabok airport is 21 km from the city center. It is connected
on the road link between Delhi and Mumbai. To this day,
