With 5 days in Udaipur, you'll have time to experience the city's highlights. This is India's most cinematic destination, where the legacy of the Rajput kings is palpable in every carved balcony and every fort that crowns the hills. It's a place for slow travel: sipping chai on a rooftop overlooking Jagdish Temple, watching a traditional puppet show at Bagore Ki Haveli, or simply getting lost in the timeless charm that made it the perfect backdrop for James Bond's 'Octopussy'.
