Udaipur : Ambrai Ghat
Operating Hours:Monday - Sunday: 05:00 - 19:00
The Vibe:The postcard everyone takes, from the right bank.
On the western bank at Chandpole, this ghat faces the City Palace across the water. It gives the unobstructed view of palace, Lake Palace and Jagmandir together that the eastern bank cannot.
Water laps the steps while the far bank lights come on one hotel at a time. A Hanuman temple alongside runs its evening aarti as the light goes.

Arrive well before sunset — wedding shoots occupy the prime spots in season
Carry small notes for the entry ticket, which is a recent change
Early morning gives the same view with flat water and no crowd
The steps are slippery after rain, so tread carefully during monsoon
Photography Tips
This is the vantage for the full palace skyline — shoot wide from the platform
Golden hour and the twenty minutes after sunset are both worth staying for
A tripod works early but obstructs the steps once the crowd arrives
