Phil's Mondo India Slide Show
Sights of Udaipur
After a horrific taxi ride back to Delhi, which I detail in my Travelogue, I flew to the
white city of Udaipur in the Rajasthani Desert, southwest of Delhi. Rajasthan is one of
most popular tourist destinations in India, and from spending time in Udaipur, I can
understand why.

If this scene looks familiar, then you have probably seen the James Bond movie "Octopussy". This
scene is the view from my hotel (the Caravanserai, which I recommend) - the Lake Palace hotel in the middle
of Lake Pichola, built in 1754. Once the royal summer palace, it has been converted to a 5 star hotel to
the tune of 300 US dollars per night.

Jaipur is known for its reddish color and Udaipur for its white hues, reminding me a bit
of San Francisco. Udaipur sits in a desert valley ringed by mountains.
