Udaipur : Fateh Sagar Lake
The Vibe:Where Udaipur goes when the palaces close.
Rebuilt by Maharana Fateh Singh after floods destroyed the original dam, this northern lake became the city's everyday water rather than its ceremonial one. The Aravalli ridge closes it on three sides.
Evening brings scooters, families and corn sellers along the Rani Road promenade. The water stays flat and clear, and the hills behind turn dark before the lights come on.
