Ambrai Ghat
A stone-stepped ghat on Lake Pichola's west bank, facing the City Palace and the lake palace across the water, and the classic spot for Udaipur night photos
Ambrai Ghat lies on the west bank of Lake Pichola near Hanuman Ghat, where its stone steps, old banyan trees and the lakeside havelis (traditional mansion hotels) form one scene. From the ghat, the white façade of the City Palace stretches for several hundred metres across the water, and to the right, out in the lake, floats the Lake Palace hotel. At sunset the palace walls glow red, and after dark the palace lights reflect on the water, making it Udaipur's most classic night view. The Ambrai restaurant beside the ghat and several rooftop restaurants let you dine while watching the view (book ahead in high season). Locals wash clothes and bathe here early in the morning, so please respect local customs. Admission is free. It is about a 15-minute walk from Jagdish Temple via Chandpole.
