In July, 2009, an online poll by Travel+Leisure magazine voted Udaipur, a Rajasthani lake town about a night’s train journey away from Delhi, as the “world’s best city for travellers.”

Now, now, the credibility of online polls must always be taken with a barrel of salt. But The Delhi Walla, who spent a June weekend in Udaipur, could understand the sincerity of that poll. Yes, the city is pretty. Ditto, its people. But perhaps what makes Udaipur ‘best’, and entertaining, is its Indian English, a language that is not foreign to us Delhiwallas. Check out the pictures.

  1. Off source, its not always the rivers, hills, beaches that make a city ‘best’… sometimes its more of a fun to explore a city through its alleys. I’m sure you were looking for that fun, Mayank.
    And, the pictures were admirable.. some, off course with a pinch err.. barrel of salt;)
