Early morning light pins the domes of Udaipur with a hard, golden edge and Lake Pichola breathes cool mist across the water as you climb into a private, air-conditioned car. The day unfolds like a measured circuit: the City Palace’s layered courtyards, the carved stone of Jagdish Temple, a ferry’s glimpse of Jagmandir, and the high, exposed terraces of Monsoon Palace where the city shrinks into pocketed fields and shimmering lakes.
