Lake Fateh Sagar of Udaipur - Romanticism Revisited
This was the finest spot during our recent Udaipur visit, easily the high-point of our visit. My suggestion - visit around sunset - it's mesmerizing.
And in evening, as the light twinkles around the shore of the lake, light starts glowing in the distant city and the hotels afar....
and fortunately we visited in a full-moon evening - as the moon rises on top of adjoining hill - the reflection of moon on the shimmering, glistening water-surface of the lake - it's a surreal site.
We have decided to revisit Udaipur only for the
sake of Lake Fatehsagar.
There are ample place to sit in the east side of
the bank (west side - towards Shilpgram is a bit solitary and lonely in evening
- it's better to stick to the eastern side). Car parking lot is ample, spacious
and convenient. There is no entry-fee. There are also restaurants near-by.
People take evening-walks.
It resembles - and even scores much higher - over
our proverbial "Queen's Necklace" - The Marine Drive of Mumbai.
Unlike Marine Drive - here, in Fateh Sagar, you are at peace and tranquility,
in your own space and privacy, there is no one to disturb you, no one to harass
you, you can be your own. Its safe as well as cozy.
It is very easy to approach. From Sukhadia
Circle, take the road adjoining Sahelion Ki Bari - I think that's the road we
followed - and we just moved westwards straight - did not turn in any
direction. Guidance-boards in green were there all along the road indicating
distance of Fateh Sagar.
I am not elaborating further. The photographs,
hopefully, will speak for the rest.
