Udaipur : Lake Palace Road Market
Operating Hours:Monday - Sunday: 10:00 - 21:00
The Vibe:Souvenirs on the road everyone already walks.
The road running south from the City Palace towards Lake Palace Road carries a strip of shops aimed squarely at visitors. Convenience is the draw rather than price.
Shopfronts open directly onto a busy road, with paintings and textiles hung outside to catch passing trade. Traffic is constant and the pavement narrow.
- Runs along one of the Old City's main visitor approaches
- Stocks paintings, textiles, jewellery and souvenirs
- Prices are higher than Hathi Pol for comparable goods
- Seasonal markets, including the Tibetan winter market, set up on nearby ground
Fit For
