Fateh Sagar Lake

Udaipur, Rajasthan, 313001

The basics

Measuring a surface area of about 1.5 square miles (4 square kilometers), Fateh Sagar rivals Udaipur’s other main lake, Lake Pichola, in its beauty. Visitors come year-round for speedboat and sightseeing cruises around its three islands, to contemplate its mountain backdrop, and to take horse-and-carriage rides and leisurely walks along its shores.

Fateh Sagar is a popular stop on private Udaipur tours, most of which include private return transport and time to wander up and down the banks or enjoy a boat or horse-drawn carriage ride. Alternatively, you can pedal along the lake’s shores on a bike tour or watch the sunset over its waters on a guided evening walk. Some multi-day tours that will take you around Udaipur and Rajasthan cities stop here.
