Jaisamand Lake
Asia's second-largest artificial lake, and almost nobody there
50 km from Udaipur1 h 15 m drive
A 17th-century dam lake with marble steps, summer palaces on the bank and a wildlife sanctuary around it. The most underrated half-day from Udaipur by a distance — go on a weekday and you will have the embankment largely to yourself.
