Guest Experience & Travel Editor 1 min read
Lamplit ghats, fireworks over the lakes and the city at its most festive — how to experience Diwali in the City of Lakes.
There are few more beautiful places to spend Diwali than Udaipur, when the lakes mirror a thousand lamps and the palaces glow. Here is how to make the most of it.
The city at its most magical
On Diwali night the ghats and havelis along Lake Pichola come alive with diyas and fireworks reflected on the water — a spectacle best watched from a boat or a lakeside vantage.
Festive evenings on the estate
At the resort, the courtyard fills with lamps, rangoli and an evening of Rajasthani music and dance, with a special festive menu at Myra.
Plan ahead — it books out
Diwali is peak season in Udaipur, with the best weather of the year. Rooms and tables go early, so book your stay well in advance.
