We sat in the cab from our old City Guest house in Jodhpur (Read Previous blog) and were enroute to Udaipur.Google Maps showed it would take around 5 hrs (250 kms) to reach Udaipur
Everyone were busy updating the Whatsapp Status and just simply commenting on one another and spending our time. Nothing much enroute untill the Driver made us stop to have a look at Bullet Baba temple and he told us the interesting story behind it (Google it for story).
After that Driver gave us two options. One is the Highway with toll and Second one was via Ranakpur (where there is a famous Jain temple) where the roads are bad. Just to have a look of Jain temple we chose the second option, but that option didnt go that well as the roads were in bad condition and now it was definately going to take couple of hours extra. We didnt had much to do so took nap in the car untill we reached the Ranakpur Jain temple. The route to reach temple is via Jungle area so it was good.
We clicked some snaps and roamed around the vicinity of the temple.
Now we were starving and didnt had any cash, and our inner voice was heard by the Driver who made a stop at an interesting garden restaurant. I named this restaurant interesting because the moment we opened the menu the price of food items were so overpriced that for moment we started searching the food items based on the price it valued for (It was priced almost like a 5 star restaurant cuisine which it wasn’t).
We ordered some parathas , Luckily quantity was better and made ourselves back to the car.
We were already late so planned not to take any breaks and reach our destination at earliest. and finally we reached Udaipur at 3:30 pm.
Cab Drive from Jodhpur to Udaipur costed us Rs 1000 per head
We went to the Guest House where we were greeted by a kind teenagaer (as his Dad who manages the Guest house had gone outstation). We quickly got fresh and first thing as usual had a cup of tea and than straight to the roof top to have the lake view and were mesmerized to see such a beautiful lake surrounded by palaces.

Jagdish Temple
City Palace Closes at 5 pm and also there was a marriage that was about to happen so everything was going to be closed soon. So we rushed ourselves to the City palace took tickets and a guide to know the palace in details. There were various restaurants inside. The Royal family also stays in the same palace. There are boats available to go the Jagmandir Palace , which is in the middle of the lake.We just explored the City Palace and got details from our guide regarding the significance of each and every place.
Lake and the City View points from the Palace just filled our eyes and we would only say one word..WOW!!!!
After City Palace tour we just roamed around through small lanes, ate some snacks and just walked along to have a night glimse of Lake Pichola.
Pichola Lake 
Jagmandir Palace
There was a party going on in Jagmandir Palace so it was lit to the best. We sat there for few minutes before we decided to head back to Guest house and sit and chill from roof top. On the way we did some shopping to take back home mostly Rajasthani textiles.
From Guest House Rooftop the View of Pichola lake at night was awesome.We just sat there and started chiling and enjoying our time, before it turned out way too much chilling for us (temperature started dropping drastically :D), we came down and slept in our rooms
Early morning we woke up a bit late and were planning to have bath . before we changed our plan and used that time to go out again quickly to pichola lake and do boating. And let me tell you it was worth every penny
We had great views and another city in our memories
Boating for 20 mins costed us Rs 150 per head.
Finally we rushed back to Guest House as we had a bus to catch at 11 am to go to Ahmedabad (Which wasn’t the next Destination to explore) but for budget sake we had booked our return flight to Pune from there.
And that wraps up the trip to Jaisalmer – Jodhpur – Udaipur.
