Jagmandir Island And Sunset Boat Ride On Lake Pichola, Udaipur Without Transfers
Three hours run from the bank of Lake Pichola out to Jag Mandir and back. The island palace, now a heritage hotel, appeared in the James Bond film Octopussy. Carved elephants line the landing where the boat ties up. Transfers to the lake are excluded, so travellers make their own way. - Lake Pichola was created in 1362 and shaped the city that grew around it. - Jag Mandir has been converted into a heritage hotel and is reached only by water. - The crossing takes in the City Palace frontage and the lake's other islands.
