perhaps the most romantic city in Rajasthan. Surrounded by hills and

details. Narrow streets lined by vivid colored stalls, gardens, temples and
palaces - every feature mirrored in the placid blue waters of lake Pichhola.

episodes of heroism and splendour, continue to enthrall the visitor.

in to a five star palace hotel.

image in the middle of the lake is like a leaf straight out of a fairy tale
book with an excellent taste of intricate craftsmanship and the ethnic
themes using the textiles and handicrafts all over highlight the beauty that
is simply beyond compare the lake around makes a pleasant murmur with its
rippling waves and lapping that adds to the mesmerising moments.
