Udaipur, Rajasthan, India

Udaipur proudly advertises itself as the Venice of the East, that’s probably because the City Palace (Rajasthans largest palace) and many of the buildings which border the huge artificial lake are built right up to the waters edge. The main focal point of the city are the beautiful Lake Palaces which appears to float in the middle of the lake. If you’ve ever watched the James Bond film ‘Octopussy’ – a large part of this movie was filmed around the Palaces in Udaipur.
