Doodh Talai & Karni Mata Ropeway
Doodh Talai / Karni Mata Ropeway
A small lake and musical fountain park just south of City Palace, with a cable car up to a hilltop temple for sunset views over Lake Pichola.
Doodh Talai is a small lake at the southern tip of Lake Pichola, with a little musical fountain garden and Deendayal Upadhyay Park on its banks. Local families often come here for an evening stroll. From the cable car station, ride the Karni Mata Ropeway (Deendayal Upadhyay Ropeway) up to the summit of Machla Magra in a few minutes. The top is home to Manshapurna Karni Mata Temple, dedicated to the goddess Karni. The viewing terrace offers 360-degree views over Lake Pichola, City Palace, Lake Palace and the distant Monsoon Palace, and the sunset is especially beautiful. A round-trip ticket costs a little over 100 rupees (check on site), and sunset queues can be long. You can also climb the stone steps on foot in about 20 minutes. It is a 10-minute walk from the south gate of City Palace.
