How to Reach Udaipur Gardens?

A well-known tourist destination, Udaipur is easily accessible by air, train, and other modes of public transportation. Since most gardens are in urban areas, you may go there by taxi, car, or tour bus. But since Nehru Garden is an island, getting there requires a watercraft from the banks of Fateh Sagar Lake.

Although Udaipur is a well-connected city, getting about might be complicated, especially if this is your first time here. Make the most of your vacation by getting a private cab.
