Udaipur City Walking Tour - MoustachEscapes

Walking Tour Udaipur – UDAIPUR Aren’t you bored of touring a city like a typical tourist?

It’s like smelling the wild smell and not tasting the real essence, isn’t it?

Cities are much more than their buildings and architecture. We believe every city has a soul of its own, a heart which you can only feel when dived deep in its history, its people and its exuberant culture. One has to stroll through its streets, chat with its native dwellers, savour its delicious local cuisine, and grant its ears to the stories reverberated from the ancient walls of antique buildings, only then one will be able to seep in the city’s spirit and become a true tourist.

The city of Dawn and the city of Lakes are few of the titles given to one of the most romantic cities in the Northern India – Udaipur. The city is surrounded with gigantic Aravalli hills from all the sides and hosts three most charming lakes of Rajasthan.

A morning cup of tea beside the Lake Pichola and an evening glass of cold coffee at one of the lakeside coffee shop will leave you enchanted. The ancient Mewar architecture and the thrilling history of Udaipur are few of the things which you must explore.

Udaipur Walking tour is an interesting expedition for travellers who wish to understand the essence of this majestic city. Unlike other Udaipur city tours, our tour to Udaipur takes you through the oldest streets, Udaipur monuments, and the real local works. The tour begins sharply at 10 a.m. and sways for 2 hours till noon.

To start on a refreshing and good note, we serve you a plat of light breakfast which usually consists of authentic local food such as Kachori Sabji, Samosa and a cup of drink. The best thing about our walking tour is the exploration of, particularly non-tourist and non-commercial areas of old Udaipur. You will be walking through workshops and factories of Leather dairies, old metal works, Kalash works, and several other pure local craftsmanship.

This becomes the highlight of the entire tour because, through these sightings, you get to interact and understand the daunting history of those who were never mentioned in the famous books of kingship. Isn’t it exhilarating? The real India is not just the people sitting on the thrones of power and richness but the weary hands of countryside workers and craftsmanship of Indian artistries.

Between the walks through these streets, you will also visit a 475 years old school and feel the coldness of these vintage walls. Well, another good thing is that we won’t leave you just on the feel of it but will have a good old discussion over the various education system of different countries.

Wouldn’t it be nice to compare an Indian education system to another country’s system and get to comprehend the similarities and differences? The end of the tour happens at an approximately 600 years old temple which is yet not so famous but holds a much deeper history than any other temples in Udaipur. You will have enough time to trudge through the valves and the corridors and hear the ancient stories of this magnificent temple of Udaipur.
