Gentle hills and opal lakes, graceful temples and opulent palaces, Udaipur is undeniably one of the most romantic cities in India. The Old City, perched on the left banks of the Lake Pichola, creates the illusion of floating on the waters, earning it the name of ‘Venice of the East’. A sprawl of narrow, twisting streets hides old marketplaces, ancient shrines and carved mansions, where street stalls heave into action at dawn, readying for the daily flow of familiar faces. Sense the hangover of the past with a heritage walking tour through the Old City of Udaipur.
The city walk will start from Delhi Gate and take you through the winding streets of the oldest neighbourhood of Udaipur along the left banks of Lake Pichola. Keep your eyes peeled for old temples, art shops, mansions and other treasures that are sprinkled along the enchanting trail.
You will cross many speciality trade markets stocked with spices, vegetables, bamboo goods, steel, footwear and silverware. Colourful puppets dangle from strings, tie-and-dye textiles stand in piles, and the aroma of freshly cooked sweets and savouries wafts through the air. Diversions are plentiful and so are the chances for uncovering hidden gems in the back alleys. What will you find?
The city walk continues to the Jagdish Temple in the City Palace complex, where richly decorated ceilings, intricately frescoed walls and Indo-Aryan architectural elements create an aura of majesty.
Finally head to the City Palace itself, the largest palace complex in the state of Rajasthan, known for a fine blend of Rajasthani, Mughal, Medieval, European and Oriental architecture. Touring the palace is like entering the pages of Mewari history, where vivid paintings narrate stories of valour, festivities and royalty. Portraiture by celebrated artist Raja Ravi Varma is eye-candy for the arty visitor. History buffs can devote time to the artillery exhibits of the famed warrior, Maharana Pratap, which include his colossal armour weighing 25 kilograms.

I will begin by saying that I had a FANTASTIC time in India. It was one of the best trips I've ever taken and I'm truly looking forward to hopefully having you book other trips for me in India.
I must say everything was planned to perfection. Each guide in every city was knowledgeable; especially the guide you arranged for us in Udaipur. We really enjoyed getting to know our guides Musheer and Kishore. We experienced the real India and appreciated the detailed itinerary your team created for us. The hotels were fantastic! In every hotel, the chef paid us a visit to make sure that we had meals suitable for us. We also enjoyed all the extra shopping excursions that were suggested.
The trip was a mega success and your team did a great job. Thanks to Footprint for everything. The entire family had a great time! The exclusive kalaripayattu demonstration was absolutely engaging and we loved every bit of the special private stand-up by Alex Babu (of Alex in Wonderland fame).
Thank you for a great trip! We especially enjoyed driving through the desertland into Jaisalmer; we also thoroughly enjoyed Bikaner, its Havelis and the Fort. Catching the daily life in Mumbai was a unique and eye-opening experience! All the hotels chosen are excellent with wonderful staff. Thank you!
Thank you for a wonderful trip to Kerala. We loved the village life walk and Fort Cochin walk. The backwater cruise in a traditional country boat was an incredible experience. A meal with the local family, living on an island in the backwaters, offered us an excellent opportunity to interact, learn and share. We loved every minute of our holiday! Thanks!
As a solo traveller, I felt safe and was exceptionally well taken care of. The cooking class in Jaipur was extremely enjoyable. The food, chef, and his wife were all exceptional and made for a lovely evening. Also, our expectations were definitely exceeded at a private residence, spending time with the elephants and lunching. Thanks!!
I loved India and thank you very much for arranging everything. It was a fabulous trip. Big kudos to you and your team. The tour guides and drivers were excellent. I loved the artisan walk, discovering the artistic treasures of Udaipur, meeting local potters and painters.
Thanks for arranging everything to precision – it was super smooth and we had a very good darshan!
Thanks for organising a great trip to Lucknow and Varanasi. The hotels at both the places were excellent; we had a great guide in Varanasi who went beyond the designated tour route and showed us around. The food tour in Lucknow was amazing and re-discovering the Awadhi Cuisine was a great experience – the kebabs were out of the world!
It was a terrific experience to spot the King of the jungle in all their glory at Gir. We had a very good experience overall.
It was a perfect leisure getaway – thanks for organising this! We loved the French Connection Trail; the guide took us through the French quarter sharing some incredible stories from the colonisation. We enjoyed the hotel and the service!
