Udaipur's markets by rickshaw

A rickshaw ride to explore Udaipur's colorful local markets

In Udaipur, an auto-rickshaw ride around the city's bustling spice and vegetable markets offers insights into everyday life in India's "City of Lakes." As you roam the markets, you'll see local women in brightly colored saris sitting among the stalls, surrounded by baskets brimming with their fresh produce, and a colorful array of curries and spices.

Cruise the palm-lined Kerala canals

A quiet window into daily life shaped by water, trade, and tradition...

Southern India's Kerala region is often called the "Venice of the East" for its network of palm-lined canals winding through small coastal villages. A leisurely cruise along these waterways offers a close look at life shaped by water and trade as you travel toward Kumarakom on the shores of Lake Vembanad.

Oberoi Udaivilas, Udaipur

The royal treatment in Udaipur

In Udaipur – a city renowned for its palaces and Rajasthan-era grandeur – the palatial Oberoi Udaivilas embodies the opulence and romance of a royal era on the shores of Lake Pichola, projecting an ambiance of regal splendor. In accommodations like these, it's natural to feel like royalty.

On this trip the contrast between the northern desert cities and the lush tropical settings of the south is amazing.
