Udaipur, Rajasthan

PAID Entry 4.7/5 Heritage

About This Location

Sajjangarh Palace, the 'Monsoon Palace,' crowns the Bansdara mountain at 944m, built in 1884 by Maharana Sajjan Singh to watch monsoon clouds roll in. The panoramic 360° view of Udaipur's lakes, the City Palace, and the surrounding Aravalli range at sunset is breathtaking. The drive up through a wildlife sanctuary and the dramatic hilltop silhouette make it one of Udaipur's most cinematic locations.
