Festivals and events worth timing your visit

Mewar Festival, also in March/April, coincides with Gangaur and showcases Rajasthani music, dance, and art. Teej, in July/August, is celebrated by women with prayers, swings, and traditional songs. Diwali, in October/November, is celebrated with lights and fireworks, illuminating the city's palaces and lakes. Shilpgram Arts and Crafts Fair in December promotes rural arts and crafts from various Indian states.
What to pack
For the October to March peak season, pack light cotton or linen clothing for daytime and light woolens or jackets for cooler evenings. Comfortable walking shoes are essential for exploring the city's palaces and streets. Sunglasses, sunscreen, and a hat are necessary for sun protection. A shawl or scarf can be useful for covering your head when visiting temples. Remember to carry insect repellent, especially during the monsoon or near the lakes.
Saving money
The cheapest months to visit Udaipur are usually July and August during the monsoon season, when flights and hotels can be 20-30% cheaper. Look for budget-friendly accommodations in areas like Chandpole or near Lake Pichola, away from the main palace areas. Enjoy affordable street food like dal baati churma and kachoris. Purchase a local transport pass if available or use auto-rickshaws after bargaining the price. Booking flights and hotels 4-6 weeks in advance can also help you secure better deals.
