2. Visit the Sajjan Garh Palace or Monsoon Palace

Are you visiting Udaipur during monsoon and want to skip the magnificent Monsoon Palace? Absolutely not! Built in 1884, the Sajjan Garh Palace, also known as the Monsoon Palace, is located on a hillock around 3100 feet above sea level. Situated above the serene Fateh Sagar Lake, this palace offers breathtaking views of the city as the skies turn grey with the rain. It is called the ‘Monsoon Palace’ because it looks like a sparkling white pearl against the backdrop of rain, grey skies and greenery.

3. Visit the City Palace

No trip to Udaipur is complete without visiting the magnificent City Palace, built over 400 years ago. This grand palace is steeped in history and culture, offering you mesmerizing ethereal views. From the small windows and viewing decks, you can enjoy the panoramic view of Pichola Lake on one side and the city life from above during monsoon on the other.
