Udaipur : Bahubali Hills
Operating Hours:Monday - Sunday: 06:00 - 18:00
The Vibe:A fifteen-minute climb for the whole valley. š„¾
A flat-topped hill above Badi Lake, named informally after the film rather than any local history. A short trek reaches the summit, which looks out over the lake and the Aravalli ridge.
The climb is steep but brief, and the ground opens suddenly at the top. Chai and Maggi stalls run at the summit, and the lake sits directly below.

Insider Tips
Check the forecast ā cloud cover is the main reason visits disappoint
Do not carry water and snacks up; they are sold at the top at fair prices
Arrive well before sunrise for a good spot, or come at sunset for far fewer people
Wear proper shoes; the path is rough and steep in places

The lake basin from the summit is the shot, best at first or last light
Arrive early enough to set up before the summit fills
Haze builds through the day in summer; winter mornings are clearest
A tripod is workable at sunset, less so in the dawn crowd
