Udaipur : The Venice of India

We flew from Lucknow to Delhi and then onto Udaipur, a true utopia.  Our hotel was on the water with amazing vistas, especially at night from the rooftop terrace restaurant. 

Next time I will definitely stay at the Taj Lake Palace Hotel, a true paradise on earth where the James Bond movie, Octopussy was filmed!

We had another very good guide, Shakti and visited the Crystal Palace with amazing crystals from Belgium which are surprisingly all over northern India. Our final gala dinner was at the Jagmandir Island Palace in the pouring rain but nonetheless we loved (almost) every minute.

My last India blog will be …. The Faces and Colors of India captured by my good friend and photographer Meredith Mullins.
