Romantic Udaipur is known as the city of palaces and lakes. At the heart of it, overlooking famous Lake Pichola is the city palace Complex and it’s still partially occupied by the Mewar royal family today. They’ve done an outstanding job of developing it into a tourist destination that intimately presents the history of the Maharanas of Mewar. The ‘jewel in the crown’ is the City Palace Museum.
The palace is adorned with an array of beautiful fountains, huge courtyards and succulent gardens which would mesmerize you and your partner to the very core of heart.
Meherangarh Fort, perched atop a hill rising 400 feet above the city of Jodhpur is city’s top attraction. The fort is impressive as a well-preserved heritage structure. Yet, there’s so much more to discover inside. One of the highlights is the museum, which houses an outstanding collection of fine and applied arts from the Mughal period of Indian history. Want a romantic evening dinner? The Chokelao Mahal Terrace Restaurant serves traditional Rajasthani cuisine, while the city sparkles below.The fort is also an evocative setting for music festivals.
As far as Indian palaces are concerned, Maharaja’s palace is relatively new. The palace’s predominant feature is its marble domes. Inside, some would say its glitzy opulence is over the top. As well as private and public audience halls, there’s a marriage hall, the pavilion of antique dolls, armory, royal painting gallery, and collection of sculptures. What’s really dazzling about the palace is that it gets lit up by around 100,000 bulbs, thus creating a romantic atmosphere for couples.
Yet another one of the most beautiful palaces in Rajasthan is the Laxmi Niwas Palace and is located in the city of Bikaner. The Laxmi Niwas Palace used to be the home of Maharaj Ganga Singh, the former king of Bikaner.
It has now turned into a luxurious hotel and is managed by the Golden Triangle Fort and Palace Pvt Ltd. The building of the palace is constructed of red sandstone, making it one of the most loved tourist destinations along with a lavish hotel.
