Jagmandir Island Palace

Magnificent hotel situated on Island in Pichola Lake in city of Lakes Udaipur Rajasthan. Witnessed beautiful landscapes and equally beautiful heritage Jagmandir Temple. The place has been converted in Hotel and Restaurant and well maintained. Evenings in winter at Jagmandir palace are magical and you can witness the golden water of pichola lake along with beautiful sunset. In addition you can sip your tea or coffee sitting on the bank of Lake enjoying lovely breeze. You can also opt for stay at Jagmandir palace hotel if you plan in advance.

Jagmandir is a must-visit island in Udaipur and easily one of the city’s most photogenic spots. The place is very well maintained and offers a unique atmosphere—perfect for those looking for memorable photos and a slice of Udaipur’s charm. Although the food is on the expensive side, the overall vibe makes up for it. The boat ride from the city center adds a fun touch to the trip, but be prepared for possible waiting times; in our case, it was a two-hour wait, which was quite disappointing. Still, Jagmandir is absolutely worth seeing if you have some flexibility in your schedule.

We visited Jagmandir Udaipur recently, and it was magical! The boat ride to this island palace on Lake Pichola was scenic, with stunning views of the lake and hills. The palace is gorgeous, with lush gardens and intricate carvings that feel so royal. Wandering the courtyards was peaceful, and the staff shared fascinating history, making it special. The café’s snacks and drinks were delicious, and sipping coffee by the lake was perfect. The only downsides were no elevator, so stairs were tough for my parents, and a small pool area would’ve been nice.

Nice place for classy photos with clean and aesthetic place. Boat ride of pichola lake with visit to this place costs 600 rs/person in morning slot up to 2 pm. After 2pm cost will be 800 rs/ person for sunset view. But cost worth the view and Europe like vibe in India. ❤️

We had a lovely dinner at Darikhana. The food is top notch and so is the ambience. We were taken care by Laksham Meena ji, who made sure he give all the historical information while serving the food with patience and kindness. And also chef made sure to make us try small bites as his compliments. Over all, a lovely experience :)

To reach Jagmandir Island, you’ll need to take a boat ride across Lake Pichola. Tickets can be purchased either at the City Palace ticket counter or near the lake itself. The ticket prices vary depending on the time of day, with morning rides being cheaper and evening rides slightly costlier. The boat ride takes about 15–20 minutes, offering a beautiful round trip across Lake Pichola before dropping you at the island. Be prepared for long queues, as the waiting time can be 1–2 hours, especially during peak hours. Once on the island, there isn’t much to explore, but it’s a great place to relax, enjoy the peaceful lake views, and walk through the beautiful gardens and old palace-like structures. You can also click great photos with the lake and Udaipur city in the backdrop. There’s a restaurant and café on the island, perfect for grabbing snacks or drinks while enjoying the scenic surroundings. After your visit, you can take a return boat back to the City Palace jetty. Overall, a calm and scenic experience, best enjoyed for its views and atmosphere rather than sightseeing.

Kind of a unique palace in the middle of a massive lake. You can get good coffee and enjoy your evenings walking in the garden. You get there by a boat ride with one ticket costing 650 rupees per person for Indians

Fantastic experience! Great setting and perfect food... Mr. Mangilal is such a wonderful host and server that it is a delight to sit and have a fine dining experience at Darikhana. Hope to return here again soon. Best wishes!
