What you can expect

Walk Up To Karni Mata
Arrive at the base of Macchla Magra (Fish Hill) and take the ropeway or hike to the top. If you like the long, slow road, we promise a delightful 25 minute hike. You’ll walk up the well-maintained Manik Lal Verma Park (named after social activist and prime minister of Rajasthan in 1947-1948, before it was a fully formed state). With well-paved pathways, manicured gardens, swaying palms and solitude during week-days, this is - literally - a walk in the park. Stop for a sip of chai and enjoy great city views.

Meet The Miracle Goddess

Perched amid lion paintings (on the temple, not real lions!), Karni Mata rests atop Macchla Magra. Maharana Karan Singh built the temple between 1620 and 1628. Regarded as a reincarnation of Goddess Durga, she symbolises victory and power in Rajasthan. Born as Riddhi Kanwar in the late 1300s, she performed miracles from childhood. After blessing the land with her healing powers, she mysteriously vanished at age 151.

Decode The Hills With Naturalist
Another amazing storey you can recount on the hilltop is the goddess' connection with rats! It’s said that Karni Mata’s son Laxman was trying to drink from a pond in Kapil Sarovar and accidentally drowned. The distraught mother begged Yama, the God of Death, to revive him. Yama relented, only on the condition that he would let Laxman be reborn as a rat. The same fell on all of Karni Mata’ other children and the entire clan. Hence, rats (kabbas) are regarded as the reincarnated family members of the goddess!
To return, you can either walk back or take the four-minute ropeway ride, the first of its kind in Rajasthan.

Indulge In Photograpghy At Doodh Talali
Botany-enthusiast or not, you’ll love this walk amidst pristine surroundings with our naturalist and herbalist, Gaurav. Together, you’ll embrace the isolated beauty of this region. Learn to identify indigenous plants like Khakhara, Timru, Bor, Modad, Dhavado, Khair, Bili, Desi Bavalia, Dudhi, Golar, Jamun and Karan. Stop for great views from and the sight of a magnificent raptor flying over the hills, from Gorilla Point.
If you want to return from your Udaipur holiday with a whole bunch of stunning, unconventional pictures prompting friends to ask, “Where did you take that?”, keep your camera ready for glorious pictures on your return. With its scalloped arches, Doodh Talai (Milk lake) offers several spots to take great pictures.

Capture A Sunset Time Lapse- Pichola Like Never Before
If you ask us for an unexpected location to soak in a typical Udaipur sunset, we’ll take you to Jaal Boraj Road; to witness an unseen side of Lake Pichola. At this stage of the tour, you can capture a sunset with a natural lime lapse effect; thanks to the cascading landscape. Instead of rising and setting in a straight line, the sun appears and disappears in staggered dramatic motion. Click away in peace; apart from peacocks ambling by, there will be nobody to disturb you.
