Day 01: Arrival Udaipur
On arrival picked up from Udaipur Airport, the Udaipur Junction Railway Station, the bus station, or your centrally located hotel in Udaipur by your friendly English-speaking driver. Leave for the Udaipur City Palace, the largest palace complex in Rajasthan.
Maharana Udai Singh started building this palace in 1559, and it was later completed in the 18th century by his successors. Following this palace visit, stop by the Shree Jagdish Temple, a world-renowned temple of Lord Vishnu.

Next, head to Dudh Talai, located on the banks of Lake Pichola near the city palace. Enjoy the beautiful views of the Lake Pichola, Jagmandir Island Palace, Lake Palace, Udaivilas, the Leela Palace, the Aravalli ranges, and Udaipur old city.

Choose to either walk around the lake to see various species of birds, relax in the lush green garden, or enjoy the musical fountains in the park. Stop by Saheliyon Ki Bari, Moti Magari, and the Sukhadiya Circle.

Day 02: Udaipur - Ranakpur - Kumbhalgarh - Departure
After breakfast, leave for a day tour of Kumbhalgarh Fort and Ranakpur Jain. The drive takes about 2 hours (depending on traffic) before you will arrive at Kumbhalgarh Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Learn the history of the fort while enjoying its mesmerizing views. Commonly referred to as "the great wall of India," it features the second largest wall in the world. Afterwards, visit the Jain Temple in Ranakpur.

It is believed that the temple was built in the 15th century under the direction of Seth Dharna Shah, who was a follower of Jainism. He constructed the temple with the help of Rana Kumbha, the king of Mewar, whose condition for help was that the temple be named after him.

There are four entrances to reach the main chamber where the idol of Adinath is placed. There are also five pillars in the temple, with each holding idols of various Tirthankaras. The biggest pillar that stands in the center holds an idol of Adinath. After exploring the temple, head back to Udaipur, where you will be dropped off at your chosen location.
