1. Udaipur, Rajasthan: The City of Lakes and Palaces
What to Do:
Boat Ride on Lake Pichola: The shimmering waters of Lake Pichola dotted around the City Palace and Jag Mandir will make your romantic tour memorable. Choose a boat ride at sunset – the sunset over the Aravalli Hills is best believed after experiencing it.
