Lake Pichola

Lake Pichola is one of the most beautiful and well-known lakes in Udaipur, Rajasthan. Located in the heart of the historic city, the lake is surrounded by the Aravalli hills and several important heritage landmarks, creating the distinctive landscape for which Udaipur is famous.

The lake is surrounded by magnificent structures including the City Palace, Jag Mandir, Jag Niwas, historic ghats and lakeside buildings. The reflections of the palaces and hills on the water create particularly beautiful views during sunrise and sunset.

Boat rides on Lake Pichola provide an opportunity to experience Udaipur's royal heritage from the water. The lake is especially attractive in the evening when the surrounding palaces and buildings are illuminated.

Lake Pichola is an artificial lake believed to have been created in the 14th century during the reign of the local Banjara community. Later, Maharana Udai Singh II expanded the lake and developed its surroundings when he established Udaipur as the capital of Mewar in the 16th century.
