Map the Story #28 || A Joyful Weekend at City Palace, Udaipur

Hello friends,

Last Saturday, I stepped into the golden walls of City Palace in Udaipur, and the day turned into a perfect holiday. The palace, perched on the edge of Lake Pichola, welcomed me with its bright arches and cool breezes. I felt the history whispering through every stone, and my heart lifted with excitement.

The first stop was the Museum of Arms, where I saw shining swords and bright shields from the Mewar warriors. Each piece told a story of bravery, and I imagined the brave soldiers standing tall on the palace balconies, watching the sunrise over the lake.








Next, I wandered through the grand Durbar Hall, where the ceiling glitters like a sky full of stars. The marble columns, painted in soft pink and blue, made the room feel like a palace garden inside. I sat on a carved bench and let the cool air slip through the tall windows, feeling the lake’s reflection dance on the floor.








For lunch, I tried a local thali at a tiny café near the palace. The flavors of dal, sweet roti, and tangy pickle sang together, just like the colors of the palace walls. After eating, I climbed the steep steps to the rooftop terrace, where the view of Udaipur’s lakes and hills stretched far beyond the eye.








The evening ended with a boat ride on Lake Pichola, the palace lights sparkling on the water like fireflies. I sat back, listening to soft music from nearby musicians, and felt a deep peace settle over me. That weekend at City Palace reminded me how simple moments, bright colors, and quiet history can fill a heart with pure joy.








If you plan to visit Udaipur, I highly recommend spending a whole day inside City Palace. Arrive early to beat the crowds, wear comfortable shoes for the many stairs, and bring a camera to capture the intricate mirror work and the sunset over the lake.
