Lake Fateh Sagar of Udaipur - Romanticism Revisited

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. 

 The aura of sunset tinging the whole lake in it's own myriad color is a sight to behold. And it's very windy, breezy, so windy that it easily unties the bun of hair bound at one's head. 

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.
