Lake Palace (Jag Mahal)

Lake Palace is regarded as one of the most beautiful palaces in the world.  The sight of this white wonder rising from the waters of Lake Pichola is truly mesmerizing.

Situated on the island of Jag Niwas, it was previously known as the Jag Mahal after the founder, Maharana Jagat Singh II.  Built in 1754, it is a marvel in stone and a wonderful example of Mughal - Rajput architecture.  Successive rulers used the cool haven as a summer resort.

[Lake Palace is regarded as one of the most beautiful palaces in the world.  The sight of this white wonder rising from the waters of Lake Pichola is truly mesmerizing.

Situated on the island of Jag Niwas, it was previously known as the Jag Mahal after the founder, Maharana Jagat Singh II.  Built in 1754, it is a marvel in stone and a wonderful example of Mughal - Rajput architecture.  Successive rulers used the cool haven as a summer resort.  In the late 1950s, it was converted into a luxury hotel, and is now under the Taj Group.  The suites of the hotel are beautifully designed; each having a particular theme and decorated with textiles and handicrafts of the region.  The royal banquet rooms are now reception rooms, bars, and restaurants.  Apartments named the Bada Mahal, Khush Mahal, Sajan Niwas, Phool Mahal and the Dhola Mahal add to the romantic setting, and give a taste of the regal splendour of a bygone era.  Unfortunately for the average tourist, access to Lake Palace is restricted to those who are stay or eating there.  And since it’s the second most expensive place to dine in Udaipur, going there is not within everyone’s budget.  A less expensive option is to take an HRH boat ride on the lake, which will enable you to see the exterior of Lake Palace and visit Jag Mandir Island.  Don’t drop your camera in the water!]
