Expert Analysis

Our Verdict

Choose Jaipur for grand royal forts, vibrant bazaar shopping, and a quick weekend trip from Delhi. Choose Udaipur for lake-side romance, peaceful sunsets, and India's most picturesque city. For a Rajasthan road trip, visit both — the Jaipur-Jodhpur-Udaipur circuit is unforgettable.
