TIE THE KNOT
UDAIPUR Flanked by the Aravalli range, Udaipur has two monikers: ‘City of Lakes’, for its seven gorgeous lakes; and ‘White City’, for its sprawling marble palaces.
The city’s old-world charm and regal air make it one of the most popular destinations for weddings. Organise your ceremonies at The Leela Palace Udaipur (theleela.com), which offers bespoke wedding experiences against the backdrop of Lake Pichola.
HONEYMOON
JAISALMER Once a stronghold of Rajput kings, Jaisalmer is known as the Golden City because of the rich yellow sandstone used to make the impressive Jaisalmer Fort, India’s last ‘living fort’. Rajasthan’s lively and colourful culture comes to the fore amid Jaisalmer’s towering sand dunes. Explore exquisite havelis or sit down for a performance by the Merasi singers—a honeymoon here is sure to entertain and enlighten.
