Hey travelers!
If you're planning a trip to India from Australia, chances are you've heard about the famous Golden Triangle Tour, which forms a triangular circuit on the map of India covering Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur. But here is a little secret: many smart travelers, especially from Australia who love extending their trip to include Udaipur. And trust me, once you see why, you’ll want to do the same!
What is so Special About Udaipur?
Imagine a city where shimmering lakes reflect grand palaces, where narrow streets lead to hidden rooftop cafes, and where every sunset feels like a soothing painting. That is what Udaipur offers for you and is often called the "Venice of the East."
While the Golden Triangle gives you India’s history and royal grandeur, Udaipur adds romance, tranquility, and breathtaking beauty. It’s the perfect way to slow down after the hustle of Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur.
Why Do Australian Travelers Love Adding Udaipur?
Make the Golden Triangle Tour Itinerary unforgettable by adding a romantic touch of Udaipur, which delves you into the cultural and serene tour experiences.
