02 Nights / 03Days Tour Name: Udaipur, the City of Lakes Post Tour: 02 Nights / 03Days Tour Name: Udaipur, The City of Lakes DAY 01: JAIPUR - UDAIPUR This morning, Board your flight for Udaipur Flight Indigo SG 2623 ││ Departure Jaipur: 0835 hrs ││ Arrival Udaipur: 0930 hrs On arrival in Udaipur, you will be met by a Cox & Kings representative who will assist you with your transfer to the hotel. Udaipur – the ‘City of Lakes’ is the capital of the erstwhile kingdom of Mewar, one of the oldest surviving dynasties in the world and was established around 1567 A.D. The chequered history of Mewar is showcased in the city of Udaipur, which is akin to an oasis in the desert state of Rajasthan. It is a rich and beguiling tapestry of lakeside palaces, forts, temples, havelis and gardens, reflecting the varied influences of the centuries. Also called ‘Venice of the East’, Udaipur is located in the Aravalli ranges of the royal state of Rajasthan. Surrounded by ancient mountains and set on the edge of three lakes, it is a beautiful old city with narrow lanes meandering through it. In the evening enjoy a boat ride on Lake Pichola on which the majestic Lake Palace Hotel is situated. See the ghats along the lake and the interesting buildings on the banks. The view of the city palace from the lake is spectacular. Dock at the Jagmandir Island where the Maharana of Udaipur once gave Shah Jahan sanctity. Overnight stay at hotel. DAY 02: UDAIPUR Breakfast at hotel. This morning, visit the City Palace which stands on a hill on the banks of Lake Pichola, surrounded by crenulated walls. Built in 1567, it is composed of 4 major palaces and several minor palaces that form a single façade. Its main entrance is through a triple arched gate, the Tripolia, built in 1725. The gate leads to a series of courtyards, corridors and gardens. The Rai Angan (Royal Courtyard) has a shrine, which is the oldest part of Udaipur. It is here that Udai Singh met an ascetic who suggested this site for Udaipur. The centrally located 17th century Mor Chowk (Peacock Courtyard) gets its name from inlaid glass mosaics of peacocks on its walls. Other exotic rooms include the Krishna Vilas dedicated to the memory of a 16 year old princess's tragic suicide, the Zenana Mahal (Palace of the Queens) and the Chini Chitrasala, which has exquisite mosaics and blue and white ceramics. To the west of main gate lies Khush Mahal (Palace of Happiness) and to its south lies Shambhu Niwas, built in the 19th century. The third palace is Shiv Niwas, which is now a hotel. This was followed by Fateh Prakash, which is also a hotel and known for its Durbar Hall and Crystal Gallery. Continue on to Saheliyon-ki-Bari (Garden of the maids of honour), a small ornamental garden which was a popular relaxing spot where royal ladies came for a stroll and hence the name. The garden has many fountains in its four delightful pools, chiselled kiosks and marble elephants. Evening at leisure. Overnight stay at hotel. DAY 03: DEPARTURE DELHI/MUMBAI Breakfast at hotel.

  • Sustainable Water Management Practices: Addressing a Water Scarcity Crisis in Jaipur, Rajasthan, India
    1 Sustainable Water Management Practices: Addressing a Water Scarcity Crisis in Jaipur, Rajasthan, India View from Jaigarh Fort - Jaipur, Rajasthan. February 2019. Photo by Author Kira Baltutis University of Illinois at Chicago | Master’s in Urban Planning and Policy Email: [email protected] 2 Abstract Although urbanization often drives development and brings potential for prosperity, it also presents significant social, economic and environmental challenges that can exacerbate existing issues among populations experiencing growth. The expansion of urban and peri-urban communities, coupled with climate change, has led to the depletion (and often contamination) of existing water resources that pose grave challenges to the future of our planet’s inhabitants. This report focuses on the crucial role of water supply to residents in the rapidly growing city of Jaipur, situated in the arid state of Rajasthan, India, which has a population of 3.1 million per India’s 2011 census and an annual growth rate of 3%. Water scarcity has become an ongoing headline issue in Jaipur as household access to government-supplied piped water has been limited to approximately one hour a day between the hours of 6:00 and 7:00 a.m., giving residents just enough time to fill up any water storage containers for all daily needs. For people living in freshwater-rich regions with unlimited access to clean water, this can be a nearly unfathomable way of life. To explore the myriad implications of this phenomenon at the community level, I conducted a 10-day long immersive fieldwork in Jaipur between January and February 2019. Through community member interviews and observational research in six key locations throughout the city of Jaipur and Amer, an adjoining historic settlement, I use both personal experiences and verified data to examine the challenges Jaipur faces to provide a clean, affordable, and consistent water supply to its expanding population.

Plus to this, urban management and planning are also vital elements of prosperity for any city and all these three elements should work hand in hand. The coordinated dynamics of Governance, management and Planning helps local government to meet its legislative responsibilities. This paper highlights the voids among governance, management and planning, highlights the innovative practices done by other internationals and explains how similar strategies can be helpful in Indian scenario. Indian governance system is facing major challenges as the functional area of one agency overlaps that of other agencies. Especially when it comes on to the road and transportation sector it becomes more complicated, thus resulting into less sufficient road network and imbalance between road hierarchies which ultimately results into ill conditioned and congested roads. Jaipur, with its strategic location and proximity to national capital is undergoing through a transformational phase where vehicles on roads have tremendous manifolds in past decades. There is a need for better governance plan for Jaipur which integrates management and planning in its action and resolve the issue highlighted in this paper.

  • Smart City and Urban Issues: a Case Study of Jaipur City, Rajasthan, India
    Annals of Geographical Studies Volume 1, Issue 1, 2018, PP 23-33 Smart City and Urban Issues: A Case Study of Jaipur City, Rajasthan, India Dr. M. M. Sheikh Associate Professor, Geography Government Lohia PG College Churu, Rajasthan, India *Corresponding Author: Dr. M. M. Sheikh, Associate Professor, Geography Government Lohia PG College Churu, Rajasthan, India. [email protected] ABSTRACT India is the second largest country in the world with a population of 1210 million (1.21billion). The Population Census of India estimates that the country represents 17.31 percent of the world population. The country has 29 states and 07 union territories. It is fast becoming urbanized with the cities across the countries struggling to cope with the unfolding situation. The urgent burden has been that of providing a better quality of life to the urban population given the complex problems spanning poverty, disasters, pollution, and governance, preservation of heritage and culture, and urban planning. The Prime Minister of India has a vision of developing 100 smart cities including 04 cities in Rajasthan State by 2022.Rajasthan has a population of 68.6 million, and forms 5.66 percent of India in 2011. The concept of smart city is influenced by the idea of developing the urban hubs which would be running on technology to provide better electricity and water supply, improved sanitation and recycling of waste, proper traffic and transport management systems. This paper deals the pressing issues in an urbanizing India against the background of the concept of smart cities. The main issue underscored in the paper is how Information and Communication Technologies is a key to Smart Cities provided there is adequate preparation and training before such systems are implemented throughout India.

  • Water Scarcity in Jaipur, Rajasthan, India Jal Bhagirathi Foundation Kathleen Roberts, Michael Reiner, and Kimberly Gray
    Water Scarcity in Jaipur, Rajasthan, India Jal Bhagirathi Foundation Kathleen Roberts, Michael Reiner, and Kimberly Gray NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY Research in Jaipur in Summer 2013 | Document completed in Fall 2013 Executive Summary Jaipur, the capital and largest city of the state of Rajasthan, India, is currently experiencing severe water scarcity that threatens drinking water sources. While Jaipur receives only an average of 600 millimeters of precipitation per year, mostly in the monsoon months of June-September, we believe that management issues exacerbate Jaipur’s water scarcity issues. Problems such as poor water quality, a lack of adequate infrastructure (for example in sewage systems, water piping, drainage systems, and water metering), rapid population and area growth, and a lack of unified government are just a few of the issues that play important roles in the complex interactions surrounding Jaipur’s current water scarcity condition. Two engineering students from Northwestern University, Kathleen Roberts and Michael Reiner, traveled to Jaipur in the summer of 2013 to study the water and sanitation system. The conditions of Jaipur’s water resources were investigated by touring various critical sites, conducting literature searches regarding water resources in Jaipur at sites such as Rajasthan University and the Institute for Development Studies, and meeting with professionals in the field of water issues in Jaipur. We were assisted in this assessment by our colleagues at the Jal Bhagirathi Foundation, an organization based in Jaipur and Jodhpur, which “strives to provide an enabling environment in which communities can access adequate drinking water with a vision of water security leading to sustainable development through responsive governance and inclusive growth.” This document looks at the history of Jaipur, specifically focusing on the links between its history, growth, and its water supply system.
