About Lake Pichola
Lake Pichola is an artificial freshwater lake created in 1362 AD. It is the soul of Udaipur — its shimmering surface reflects the City Palace, the Jag Mandir island palace, and the Aravalli hills. A sunset boat ride on Lake Pichola is one of the most romantic and unforgettable experiences in all of India.
Visitor Tips
