Business Travel to Udaipur

Situated in a valley of the Aravallis in the southern part of Rajasthan close to Gujarat is the romantic city of Udaipur. It derives it name from its founder Maharana Udai Singh and tradition has it that the dynasty to which he belonged is the descendent of the Sun. Having a 1400 yr. old history, Udaipur today boasts of the presence of the 76th custodian of the royal family still strongly rooted in its land. Udaipur is better known in history for its association with chivalrous rulers like Maharana Pratap ruling over its land. However today it is a progressive city with trade and commerce taking place in a major way and the ancient wars and battles so synonymous with the ruling Rajput clan is a distant dream now.
