Some places feel like poetry in motion — and Udaipur is one of them.
Wrapped in soft golden hues and kissed by the calm of its lakes, this little Rajasthani gem knows how to slow you down. My summer days here were all about chasing the perfect sunset, sipping cool drinks on rooftop terraces, and letting the charm of narrow streets and blooming bougainvillea lead the way.

☀️ Why Udaipur in Summer?
While most people shy away from Rajasthan in the hotter months, Udaipur stays surprisingly bearable — thanks to its lakes and breezy evenings. If you’re someone who prefers fewer crowds, off-season travel, and golden hours that last just a little longer… summer in Udaipur might just win your heart.
☕ Sips & Bites – My Favorite Cafés
- Jheel’s Ginger Coffee Bar & Bakery
A lakeside nook with dreamy views and the most refreshing iced hazelnut latte. The open-air terrace is perfect for golden hour journaling or people-watching. - The Little Prince Café
Boho, colorful, and tucked away from the busy streets — this place had the best mint lemonade and hummus platter. Their upstairs seating is all cushions and chill vibes. - Oladar Village Café
Think: rustic meets artsy. Great for brunch with Rajasthani fusion twists, aesthetic corners, and artisan decor. A hidden gem.
📸 Golden Hour Spots
- Ambrai Ghat – The ultimate sunset spot. Sit by the water, camera in hand, and watch the palaces turn to gold.
- Sunset Terrace at Fateh Prakash Palace – Luxe feels and panoramic views of Lake Pichola.
- Rooftop of Café Edelweiss – Grab a cold drink and soak in the laid-back energy.
🧳 What I Packed (and Loved)
- Flowy cotton dresses & wide-brimmed hat
- Refillable water bottle (it’s dry heat!)
- Cooling mist for mid-day strolls
- Portable fan (game changer!)
- Mini sketchbook – the views demand to be drawn or written about
🧘 Moments I’ll Remember
- The boat ride across Lake Pichola as the sun dipped low, casting a shimmer across the water
- The chai vendor near Jagdish Temple who gave the most heartfelt travel recommendations
- That one solo morning spent reading by the lake, where time just… paused
