Events in Udaipur, the City of Lakes

Udaipur is Rajasthan at its most romantic — palaces reflected in still lakes, the Aravalli hills on the horizon and some of India's most celebrated heritage hotels. It is a natural choice for weddings and for smaller, premium corporate groups.

Getting there

  • By air: Maharana Pratap Airport (UDR) at Dabok, about 22 km from the city, with direct flights from Delhi, Mumbai and other cities.
  • By rail: Udaipur City station has trains to Delhi, Jaipur and other cities.
  • By road: About 400 km from Jaipur (around six to seven hours) and 260 km from Ahmedabad.

Built around Lake Pichola and Fateh Sagar, Udaipur has a reputation as one of India's favourite wedding destinations. Many of its finest properties sit on the water or the surrounding hills, giving every function a dramatic backdrop.

For corporate groups, Udaipur suits leadership retreats, board meetings and incentive programmes where the setting is part of the reward. The airport has direct flights from several major cities, and the lakeside centre is compact.

Best time of year

September to March is the main season. The monsoon (July to September) fills the lakes and turns the hills green — beautiful for covered and indoor events. Summer is hot.

Local knowledge

Planning notes for Udaipur

Rooms are the constraint

Udaipur's most sought-after palace venues have limited rooms. Large weddings often spread guests across two or three hotels, which makes transport planning essential.

Lake access needs planning

Island and lakeside venues often rely on boat transfers. We plan boat schedules, jetties and weather backups.

Book early for winter

Peak wedding dates in Udaipur book out well in advance; start nine to twelve months ahead for popular venues.
