Udaipur, known as the “City of Lakes,” becomes even more beautiful during the monsoon season. The rains bring the city to life, making its lakes, palaces, and gardens look fresh and vibrant. If you’re visiting Best Places to Visit in Udaipur During Monsoon 2024, here are some of the best places to explore.
Monsoon Palace- Sajjangarh
The Sajjangarh Monsoon Palace sits on top of a hill and offers a stunning view of Udaipur and its surroundings. During the monsoon, the palace is the perfect place to watch clouds and rain over the green hills. The view from here is breathtaking, with the city looking even more beautiful under the rainy skies.
Ubeshwar Ji
Ubeshwar Ji is a Shiva temple. It is located about 15km away from Udaipur city and is a residence of the people from Bhil tribes and Rajputs. As it is said that the path traveled to reach a destination is more beautiful than the destination itself, the same is the case with Ubeshwar. Located at a great height, the way is super exciting leading to green mountains and the sound of the wind with the misty atmosphere during rains.
Keleshwar Ji
Keleshwar is yet another Shiva Temple. It is located 30 km away from Udaipur city. The area is inhabited by people belonging to the Bhil tribes. Keleshwar Waterfalls are around 10km from Ubeshwar Ji. Taking a bike ride on the road excites me. The serpentine road turns encompassed by a lush green valley is like a dream.
Rayta
This place is also known for its serpentine road, fully surrounded by mountains, valleys, and small green hillocks giving a magnificent view of the scenery. It defines the countryside beauty of the city of Lakes. Rayta has some of the most scenic views one can imagine in Udaipur. The place is located so high that it gives a panoramic view of the back side of Udaipur- a must-visit during the Monsoon season.
Fateh Sagar Lake
Fateh Sagar Lake is one of the most famous lakes in Udaipur. During the monsoon, the lake fills up with water, making it a great spot for boat rides. The Nehru Garden in the middle of the lake becomes a peaceful place to relax, with misty views and the fresh smell of rain. The monsoon adds a special charm to this already beautiful lake.
Saheliyon Ki Bari
Saheliyon Ki Bari, also known as the Garden of Maidens, is a lovely garden with fountains, lotus ponds, and marble pavilions. During the monsoon, the garden looks even more lush and green, with blooming flowers and flowing fountains. It’s a quiet and relaxing place to enjoy the beauty of nature in the heart of the city.
Badi Lake
Badi Lake, also called Jiyan Sagar, is a quieter but equally beautiful place to visit. Surrounded by hills, the lake fills up with rainwater and offers a peaceful environment. You can take a relaxing walk around the lake, enjoying the view of the rain-soaked hills and the calm water.
Bahubali Hills
Bahubali Hills is a newer attraction in Udaipur and offers one of the best views in the city. During the monsoon, the hills are covered in green, and the view of Badi Lake from the top is amazing. The hike up the hill is not too difficult, and the view from the top is definitely worth the effort.

What can you enjoy during the monsoon in Udaipur?
Corncob (भुट्टा)
This is the most relished thing when it comes to snacking around at Fateh Sagar. You will find some stalls and vendors selling sweet corn and corn cobs roasted on coal which gives a superb flavor and fragrance to the corn.
Pakode (पकोड़े)
When it rains, pakoras and tea are a must. ‘Aloo-Pyaaz ke Pakode’ with green chutney is something people crave during the monsoon.
Bread-Bada
In Udaipur, many places offer tasty Bread Pakoras, which are definitely worth trying.
CHAI
Well, for people who are chai-holic like me, tea is an inseparable part of life. Chai can be called the National Drink of India. Call it whatever, but Chai has the most significance during rain. When paired with samosas, it becomes an irresistible combination!
