I bet you didn’t know these things about Udaipur

No Comments on I bet you didn’t know these things about Udaipur

Udaipur is a city of dreams and surprises. It is a city which known for its beauty in not only the country but in the whole world. There are a lot of places and sites which attracts a large number of people from all over the world so it is not needed to tell how beautiful Udaipur is to not only its residents but people from all around the world.

The city is rich in terms of History and Culture. It has a different story behind everything it has, be it forts or palaces, and be it festivals or people. There are lots of interesting and amazing facts about the city but we have gathered the most unheard facts about Udaipur for you which will leave you surprised and spellbound. So, get ready for the surprises.

Udaipur’s tree house is in Limca book of world records

Once upon a time, a businessman named KP Singh proposed the idea of building a tree house upon a 65 years old Mango tree without cutting a single branch of the tree. The idea was so raw and difficult that when he took this idea of his to different architects and engineers around the city, none of them agreed to it.

One day his wish got fulfilled and the tree house got constructed just the way he wanted it to be without any damage to the tree and its branches. Surprisingly, the tree wasn’t made by some architect or civil engineer but a small artisan of Surat with the academic qualification of just grade seven. This tree house was later featured in the Limca book of world records.

The jungle book ‘Oodeypore’

Udaipur is a city which inspires writers, artists, and painters. It is the home of imagination. And that is exactly why it inspired Rudyard Kipling to include the place in his famous book ‘The Jungle Book’. In this book, ‘Bagheera’, the Black Panther belonged to the placed called ‘Oodeypore’ which is actually Udaipur. If you pronounce both of these names, the pronunciation is the same. It is said that Kipling was inspired by the elegance and the beauty of the city and that’s why he thought to include it in his book. Just imagine, how great and wonderful the city would be to inspire such a great artist, isn’t it?

World’s most romantic hotel

Udaipur is undoubtedly a city of romance. It seems like love multiplies itself in the huge white forts and palaces. But did you know Udaipur is the home of world’s most romantic hotel?

Lake Palace or Jag Niwas was once a summer palace of Sisodia rulers. Later it was converted into a hotel which is now a heritage hotel run by Taj group. The hotel is situated in the middle of Lake Pichola and is voted as the most romantic hotel in the world. This luxury hotel has 83 rooms and suites which features amazing and splendid white marble walls. The aura and the view from the hotel are so spell bounding that it captures the heart of all the couples that seek love from the city.

Asia’s best solar observatory

We all are familiar with the famous Lake Fatehsagar. Have you ever seen a white solar observatory situated right in the center of Lake Fatehsagar? And did you know this solar observatory is the best solar observatory in entire Asia? It is considered the best because it is situated at the center of a Lake and the air turbulence is low around the water as compared to land. Apart from that, the sky conditions of Udaipur are also favorable, thus it adds up as an advantage to study the movement of the sun. So now every time you look at the observatory, keep this in mind that you’re looking at Asia’s best solar observatory.

Second largest wall of the World

After the Great Wall of China, Kumbhalgarh fort near the Udaipur district has the largest continuous wall measured more than 38 kilometers surrounding the fort. Surprisingly, even after being the second largest wall in the world, you cannot see the fort and the wall unless you are within a half mile of it.

This way of construction was intentional and had a great strategy behind it. Back then, the kings and the rulers of Mewar used to reside in the fort. The fort was designed in such a way that it would not be visible to the enemies and thus, they kept themselves safe. The 38 kilometers long wall was constructed in order to protect the entire fort from the attacks of the enemies.

Second largest artificial freshwater lake in Asia

Jaisamand Lake or Dhebar Lake which is situated at a distance of 48 km from the city, is the Second largest artificial freshwater Lake in Asia. In 1685, Maharana Jai Singh constructed the lake after making a dam at Gomti River. The Lake is 14 km wide and approximately 102 feet deep. It has the circumference of 48 km. There are total three islands in the lake which are inhabited by the Bhil Manas. The two bigger islands are known as Baba ka Magra and the smaller island is called Piari.

Udaipur is a city of wonder. Once you visit Udaipur, you never know what you will be able to see and know. You’ll never know which part of history will come flashing right in front of you through the palaces and forts that will tell you different stories every time you visit them.

Now, that you know these lesser-known facts about Udaipur, you can brag the fresh knowledge you have acquired in front of your friends. Meanwhile, if you have any other fact related to the city, please share with us in the comment section. We will be glad to hear them.

Reasons why you should NOT visit Udaipur or Else you will end up Loving this CITY!

No Comments on Reasons why you should NOT visit Udaipur or Else you will end up Loving this CITY!

Isn’t Udaipur all about just lakes and nothing else? Why should one even think of visiting this small city of Rajasthan when you can totally go to some other place. While everyone is busy praising the so-called ‘City of lakes’ Udaipur, we’ve jotted down a list of reasons why you shouldn’t visit Udaipur.

Amazing traditional clothing, jewelry, and handicrafts will burn a hole in your pocket

Reasons why you shouldn’t visit Udaipur — picture by: travel triangle

If you are a shopaholic then visiting Udaipur is a big threat to you. Beautiful traditional clothes with pretty work and decorations, silver, gold and black metal jewelry for both men and women, mind-blowing handicrafts on clothing, décor pieces, and other items will burn a hole in your pockets. So, in Udaipur, you might spend your entire month’s salary and since we don’t want you to regret your shopaholic instinct, it is advisable to not visit Udaipur.

Delicious Dal Bati and regional cuisine will increase your calories

The famous Rajasthani food Dal Bati and all other regional cuisines are so delicious that you cannot stop at just tasting. So you have to prepare your stomach to get entirely filled and then your mind to satisfy itself with just that. Since we don’t want you to spend an extra hour at gym burning the calories gained from the heavenly delicious Dal Bati, you shouldn’t visit Udaipur.

The culture and festivals of Udaipur will leave you spellbound

Udaipur has a brimful of cultures and to celebrate the vastness of these cultures, there are different festivals taking place at every time of the year. From dance, music performance, and regional activities in Shilpgram to festivities and joy on everyone’s faces in Hariyali Amavasya fair, the variety of culture showcase will leave you spellbound. The moment when you are present at such occasions you will feel like you belong here.

Now, who would want to enjoy the colorful and joyful atmosphere of these festivals from their busy and hectic schedule right?

The utterly romantic destinations will make you fall in love

If you are already in love with someone, these utterly romantic destinations in Udaipur will just act as a catalyst to your love. You will feel like celebrating each and every moment of love with your loved ones. From waking up at sunrise in forts and palaces to boating in Lake Pichola at sunset, you will feel nothing less than a king or a queen. It would feel like even nature is a part of this celebration and it would witness every blissful moment you are having.

And if you’re not in love with someone, then better do not enter this magical environment or you’ll fall in love.

Royal palaces and forts will make you look back to history

Most of us literally hated history when they were just some pages in the textbooks of our school but when it comes to the history of Udaipur it will not just teach you some really interesting things but will take you to the time of past. By looking at the walls and structure of these amazing forts and palaces you will actually live the time period that was lived by the kings and queens back then. The royalty of Udaipur is nothing less than the other assets of it, so if you do not want to experience the royalty of the city, you shouldn’t visit Udaipur.

Once you visit Udaipur, it will invite you repeatedly

Udaipur is such a place that you can never get enough of. Apart from the fact that the number of places that Udaipur has, cannot be enjoyed on a single visit, there’s just something in its walls, its sculptures, its people, its street and basically everything that will invite you again and again to the city. So you just can’t quit coming and staying in Udaipur at just once, you will have to keep coming for a number of times to satisfy your soul. And if you are just not ready for that, you better not visit it.

The beauty of lakes and landscapes will hypnotize you

Udaipur which is also known as ‘city of lakes’ is a place full of natural and artificial lakes. Along with the lakes comes its blissful surroundings and eye-pleasing landscapes. Lakes like Badi, Fatehsagar, Pichola will give you a sight that you wouldn’t be able to forget for your entire life. It will make you forget all the worries of your life and you will feel like this is the only place where you truly want to be. When you sit at the edge of a lake, you will be so hypnotized by the beauty around it that you won’t be able to leave the place.

But not everyone wants to get hypnotized by nature, isn’t it?

Fatehsagar – the heart of the city

It is literally the heart of the city. If you look for Fatehsagar in google maps, you’ll see that the lake is heart shaped. It is not just a place, it’s a feeling for every Udaipurite. It’s a feeling of peace and calm. It’s a feeling of relaxation when after a long day you sit on the pal of the lake and the winds just take away all your tiredness. It’s a feeling when school and college kids hang out with their friends every evening giving the place its youthfulness. It a feeling of togetherness when you find people of different color, caste, city, country, and age that no matter what there’s this place that binds everyone together.

So in case you’re not ready to feel all of that, Fatehsagar or even Udaipur is not the place to have a visit to.

Above all these reasons, Udaipur is a city of love and compassion. It’s a city which makes everyone fall in love with itself. You will often hear people saying that ‘there’s no other city such as Udaipur’ and that is quite true, I tell you. Love it or hate it but you just won’t be able to forget the city.

No Comments on Are these places in Udaipur haunted?

While all of us have grown listening about the beautiful places and rich culture of Udaipur, there are some places which have some inexplicable stories associated with them. People from Udaipur have witnessed some weird incidents and claims that the place consists of some paranormal activities.

Let us see what these places are and what kind of activities and stories people claim there to be –

Natni ka Chabutra

Legend says that once upon a time there was a king named Maharana Jawan Singh, in city palace who assured a Natni (tightrope walker who performs various dance and activities on a rope in the air) that he would gift her half of his kingdom if she will cross the rope tied from a village on the west bank of the lake to the City Palace on the east bank. Just when she was about to finish it, the fearful king ordered to cut the rope and the Natni drowned and died in the water. Just before she died she cursed the Maharana’s family. Since then, the place is said to be haunted and no one is allowed to go there.

Old city

Apart from its rich heritage sites and colorful streets, it is also said to be the home of some inexplicable energies that prove their existence in nights. Some of the residents claim that they’ve heard and experienced something paranormal in this place. This area is said to be between Tibetan market to Jagdish temple. It is said that the kings and their kingdom who lived here once upon a time still roam around the area to ensure the safety of the place.

Bedla mata

Bedla Mata is a Hindu temple situated at Bedla road in Udaipur. It is said that the goddess of this temple takes away the ghost of people when you visit the temple and do some ritual which is to go under a shallow cave made of stones for three times. It is also said that when you return from the temple, do not look back and if you do all the ghosts that people left there will come right behind you. Scared already?

Badi Lake

There are so many Udaipurites who have different ghost stories when it comes to Badi Lake. Well, I will start with one. There was this group of 4-5 people who were on a night out and went to Badi Lake. When they were returning from there at some time around 10:00 pm, they heard a loud voice and at that very instant when they looked on the road, some unrecognizable figure crossed the road.

While night outs are all fun and frolic, such incidents make us think about it again.

Watch this viral video of Badi where a ghost was encountered.

Fatehsagar

Fatehsagar is one of the most popular lakes not only in Udaipur but all around the country. Its beauty attracts all the local people of the city as well as tourists from all around the world but ever heard that its water invites death?

There is a saying which is spread all across the city that when the first heavy rain of monsoon touches and fill the water of Lake Fatehsagar, it invites one death. People say that whoever swimming in the water of Lake Fatehsagar after heavy rains get pulled by some energy inside the water and don’t let them swim across the surface causing death.

It might be possible that you and I won’t believe it but the people who have suffered such incident will only know the horror of it. If you are one of these people who has encountered such strange activities in the town, share your experience with us in the comments section.

And until then be safe.
