Introduction

Udaipur, set in southern Rajasthan among picturesque lakes and the Aravalli hills, is often called the “City of Lakes.” Founded in 1559 by Maharana Udai Singh II, its palaces and temples reflect centuries of royal heritage and romance.

Early February brings mild, sunny days and cool evenings, perfect for boat rides on Lake Pichola and strolling the old city’s narrow lanes. Couples can enjoy sunset views from rooftop cafés, explore the fairytale City Palace, and relax in lush gardens like Saheliyon ki Bari—all without breaking the bank.

Map

Logistics

Udaipur is best reached by air, landing at Maharana Pratap Airport, about 22 km from the city center. Direct flights connect major cities like Delhi, Mumbai, and Jaipur, making air travel quick and convenient for a romantic getaway. Taxis and app-based cabs provide easy airport transfers.

Trains to Udaipur City Railway Station are another comfortable option, with scenic journeys from Delhi, Jaipur, and Ahmedabad. For the budget-conscious, deluxe Volvo buses and private coaches also serve Udaipur from several neighboring cities. Roads are generally smooth, and February weather is pleasant, so no major travel disruptions are expected.

Boat rides are mainly for sightseeing within Udaipur and aren’t used for intercity travel. Plan airport and hotel pickups in advance for a seamless, relaxed arrival.

Weather

Udaipur enjoys a generally warm and dry climate, with hot summers from March to June, when temperatures can rise above 40°C (104°F). The monsoon season, from July to September, brings welcome showers and lush scenery, while winters from October to February are mild and pleasant, making them ideal for sightseeing, festivals, and outdoor events.

From February 2 to February 4, Udaipur typically experiences cool, comfortable weather, with daytime temperatures between 18°C and 28°C (64°F–82°F) and cooler nights. Rainfall is rare during this period, and extreme weather events are highly unlikely, making it perfect for arts and culture tours, volunteering, and exploring local festivals.

Food & Drink

Udaipur’s cuisine is rich and flavorful, with local favorites like dal baati churma, gatte ki sabzi, laal maas, and sweet treats like ghewar. Try Jagat Niwas Palace or Ambrai Restaurant for candlelit lakeside dinners, while Café Edelweiss and Jheel’s Ginger Coffee Bar offer cozy, scenic daytime spots.

Many rooftop bars and restaurants, such as Upré and Rainbow Restaurant, provide romantic sunset views over Lake Pichola. Vegetarian options abound due to local traditions, and most places cater well to common dietary needs. Tipping around 10% is appreciated but not mandatory. Remember to try local lassis and traditional Rajasthani thalis for a full cultural experience.

Accommodation

For a romantic getaway on an average budget, Udaipur’s charming homestays in the old city—near Lake Pichola or Chandpole—are ideal; look for highly rated picks on Hotels.com. These offer cozy rooms, rooftop views, and personalized hospitality, perfect for couples. Many heritage homes blend authentic Rajasthani décor with modern comforts.

Consider boutique hotels or lakeside guesthouses around Lal Ghat and Hanuman Ghat, known for intimate ambiance and proximity to major attractions. If you prefer resorts, the outskirts around Fateh Sagar Lake offer peaceful escapes, though these can be pricier. For stays between February 2-4, book early on Hotels.com, as local festivals and mild weather increase demand during this period.

Itinerary

Experience Udaipur’s regal charm and vibrant city life by immersing yourself in its historic sites, local arts, and authentic streetscapes, while connecting with the cultural heartbeat of the city.
