You're met at the airport by a car and driver, guided onto a private boat, then ferried across Lake Pichola--past Udaipur's domed lakefront palaces--into the gardens and fountains of the Udaivilas estate.
From your window, Udaipur, the city of lakes, carved into the desert landscape by Mewari royals in the 16th century, sparkles in the sun. When sensory overload subsides, wind your way through sprawling courtyards to a traditional Kashmiri gondola, where champagne and canapes for two await.
