Day 02

Ranakpur Jain Temple and Kumbhalgarh Fort

Visit Ranakpur Jain Temple in the morning. The Ranakpur Temple complex comprises 1,444 intricately carved pillars, 24 pillared halls, and 80 domes borne by 400 columns. The apogee of this temple architecture is that no two pillars here are the same. The temple structure has five spires, each of which houses a shrine underneath, and under the largest spire on the axis of the main entrance, the Chaumukha Shrine, you can locate the 6-foot-tall statue of Lord Adinath. Another exquisite aspect that has earned the temple its name is the carving of the four-headed image of Adinath, sheltered by a 108-headed snake with numerous tails. The four heads face four directions, suggesting the pursuit of the Tirthankaras. Head to Kumbhalgarh Fort, which has made its mark in history for having the second-largest wall after the Great Wall of China. The mighty fort stands 3,600 feet tall, and its 38 km-long wall surrounds the area of Udaipur. It is considered to have been built by Rana Kumbha in the 15th century. The fort has also been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site under the group Hill Forts of Rajasthan. It is strategically located on the western Aravalli hills. Overnight stay in Udaipur Hotel.

It is owned and managed by the royal family of Udaipur. See Saheliyon Ki Bari, which was laid out for a group of forty-eight maidens. This garden is located on the banks of Fateh Sagar Lake, presenting a green retreat in the drylands of Rajasthan. It was built from 1710 to 1734 by Maharana Sangram Singh for the royal ladies. Stop by Dudh Talai, located on the banks of Lake Pichola near the City Palace.

Journey to Mount Abu and Nakki Lake

Visit the Dilwara Temples, built in the 11th century and dedicated to the Jain Tirthankaras. The complex is completely made of marble and houses five small temples. Take a walk and notice the staggering features, intricate carvings, incised paintings, carved pillars, mandaps, arches, and beautifully decorated ceilings. Head to Nakki Lake. According to the first legend, the lake was built by Gods to protect themselves from their enemy, the Bashkali demon. The second legend is based on the love story of the sage Rakshiya Balam. There was a king who ordered that whoever dug a lake with his nails overnight would marry his daughter. In the evening, enjoy boating on Nakki Lake. Later, stroll through the local market up to Sunset Point and enjoy the wonderful view of the setting sun. Overnight stay at Mount Abu Hotel.

The Brahma Kumaris (Sanskrit: ब्रह्माकुमारी, 'Daughters of Brahma') movement was founded by Lekhraj Kripalani. The organisation is known for the prominent role that women play in the movement. Head to Guru Shikhar, a peak in the Arbuda Mountains of Rajasthan and the highest point of the Aravalli Range. It rises to an elevation of 1,722 metres. It is 15 km from Mount Abu, and a road from there leads almost to the top of the mountain. Stop by Peace Park, nestled between two famous Aravali peaks, Guru Shikhar and Achalgarh. Peace Park in Mount Abu is a part of the Brahma Kumaris' establishment. With an ambience that creates the perfect blend of serenity and tranquillity, the park offers a beautiful backdrop for silence and peaceful recreation. Overnight stay in Mount Abu Hotel.
