India Taj Lake Palace

Please log in or sign up for free to see the GPS coordinates & weather for this photo spot

In the early 1700s, Maharana Jagat Singh asked his father if he could take up residence in the pleasure palace Jagmandir with his ladies. The Maharana advised his son to build his own, an Island Palace. That palace is what we now know as Taj Lake Palace.

Today, its an exclusive hotel. You can’t step ashore there without a reservation or an invitation. It is still possible to admire the palace from the shore of Udaipur city and various hilltop spots that overlook it.

Photography Tips
