Aklingji:-
Half way between Udaipur and Nathadwara, it is one of the most sacred shrines of Shiva in
Rajasthan. It's 1000 year old architecture reflects the
extravagance and abandon of Indian society in pre-Islamic India.
It's exquisitely carved shrines sparkle with vitality and joy of
life.
Chittod
Ghadh:- Towering fort in the middle of an
arid plane once provided one of the strongest challenges to the
Mogul rule in India. Hundreds of rajput women committed "Sati",
self-immolation, to inspire their men to fight without restraint
and to save their honour. The battle that followed has earned it's
place in Indian history as being one of the most bloody and brave.
To this day, Chittod is the bastion of rajput pride, valour and
honour.
Udaipur:- White city of
Mewar, beautifully nestled
amongst hills and surrounded by numerous lakes, it is a one of the
most picturesque cities in Rajasthan. It's numerous palaces and
mansions reflect the golden era of Rajput achievements. Most of
its famous buildings are now hotels or restaurants, including the
world famous Lake palace Hotel.
Other places of interest include Haldi Ghati
(historically important and a great picnic area), Charbhujaji,
Kakaroli and Raisagar reservoir.
