When most people think of Rajasthan, they imagine golden deserts, summer heat, and arid forts under a blazing sun. But here’s the secret: Rajasthan in monsoon is one of India’s most underrated travel experiences. From Bundi’s moss-covered forts to Mount Abu’s misty hills, from Udaipur’s overflowing lakes to Ranthambore’s lush green forests, the state transforms into a dramatic, romantic, and refreshingly cool destination between July and September.

Udaipur, often dubbed the “City of Lakes,” is renowned for its majestic palaces, historic heritage, and soulful ambience. Among its many natural and architectural marvels, Fateh Sagar Lake stands out—especially at sunset.

Lake Pichola, a man-made marvel created in 1362 and later expanded by Maharana Udai Singh II in the 1560s, forms the centerpiece of Udaipur—aptly called the “City of Lakes”. Surrounded by Aravalli Hills and crowned with islands like Jag Mandir (the “Lake Garden Palace”) and the iconic Lake Palace, the lake has drawn travelers, filmmakers, and lovers for centuries.
