Start of Rally - Udaipur


Overnight at the Lake Palace

Over two and a half centuries ago, Maharana Jagat Singh II - successor to the royal dynasty of Mewar, believed to be descendants of the Sun God - built a fairytale pleasure palace of white marble, shimmering afloat on the calm waters of Lake Pichola.

Today the Lake Palace is considered to be one of the most romantic hotels in the world. Its elegant suites are adorned with ornate glasswork, bohemian crystal lights and intricate miniature paintings.

Set against the backdrop of the majestic Aravalli Mountains on one side of the lake, and lofty palaces on the other, the Lake Palace spreads across a four-acre island – an almost surreal vision in marble.

All the rooms have stunning views of the lake as well as luxury guest amenities and the staff (some said to be descendents of the original palace retainers!) look make sure that all guests are treated like Royalty. Staying here ensures a very special beginning to the Rally!
