Here’s a curated guide to some of the most memorable things to do around Jaisinghgarh:
Lakes That Define Udaipur
The lakes of Udaipur are its heartbeat, each with its own character and story. While Lake Pichola is the city’s crown jewel, a short journey outwards reveals even more impressive sights.
Jaisamand Lake: A Majestic Water Wonderland
Just a scenic drive from the resort, Jaisamand Lake—one of Asia’s largest artificial lakes—unfolds like a shimmering ocean. Built in the 17th century by Maharana Jai Singh, it features beautifully carved marble chhatris, a summer palace and a Shiva temple overlooking vast blue waters. The islands scattered across the lake create a picture-perfect setting, ideal for a peaceful day trip for families seeking nature, heritage, and tranquillity.
Fateh Sagar Lake: The City’s Emerald Heart
Closer to town, Fateh Sagar Lake remains a favourite for its relaxing boat rides and panoramic views. Its three islands, including the Udaipur Solar Observatory, offer unique vantage points. Nehru Park, set in the middle of the lake, makes for a refreshing pause and continues to be one of Udaipur’s most-loved recreational spots.
Palaces Beyond the Usual Trail
Udaipur’s royal spirit extends far beyond City Palace. Hidden among the hills are palaces that provide quiet corners and breathtaking perspectives.
Sajjangarh Palace: Enchanting Monsoon Views
Known as the Monsoon Palace, Sajjangarh sits atop a hill, offering some of the most beautiful sunsets in Rajasthan. Originally meant to serve as an astronomical outpost, it now stands as one of the finest viewpoints in the region.
Jaisinghgarh Palace: A Regal Stay
At Sterling Udaipur Jaisinghgarh, the experience feels distinctly royal. With its palace-inspired architecture and thoughtful details, it offers an atmosphere reminiscent of Mewar’s grand past. It is one of the few heritage-style stays that truly immerses guests in Udaipur’s traditions while offering modern comforts.
Cultural Encounters That Bring Mewar to Life
To understand Udaipur, one must experience its living traditions.
Walk Through a Heritage Village
A guided visit to a nearby village offers an intimate look at rural Rajasthan. From craftsmen shaping intricate art to families living in traditional mud homes, the experience provides a meaningful window into the region’s timeless way of life.
Puppetry, Folk Music and Evening Stories
Rajasthan’s performing arts remain an unforgettable highlight. Puppet shows, rhythmic folk dances and soulful music performances—often held at cultural venues across the city—bring the region’s storytelling legacy alive. These evenings offer an emotional connection to the heart of Mewari culture.
Adventure in the Aravallis
For travellers who enjoy the outdoors, the Aravalli ranges offer lush trails and spectacular views—especially during the monsoon. Paths leading to Rayta and Bahubali Hills are perfect for soft adventure and nature photography, making them must-do experiences for explorers.
Echoes of the City of Lakes
Udaipur has a way of leaving a lasting impression. As one traveller described, “The city feels like a living museum, where every corner has a story.” At Jaisinghgarh, this legacy is felt in small details—architecture, hospitality, and the quiet, regal atmosphere.
