Detailed itinerary

Start your 6-kilometer cycle in a boutique haveli nestled in a winding alley close to Hanuman Ghat. This trip includes a shooting experience in the lively Old City of Udaipur, where we travel to the six most recognizable yet picturesque spots. Our e-bikes offer a great method to cover every corner of Udaipur's old city, allowing you to enjoy the city's true culture as we stand to shoot some of the most authentic postures. Using automobiles is difficult in the ancient labyrinth of streets, and walking may be taxing.

The Old City is a photographer's and designers' dream, with its imposing darwazas (gates) and iconic stained glass windows in vibrant hues. You'll be taken back in time to the 16th century, when administrators and managers of the royal family settled in this neighborhood and built enormous mansions (havelis) dominated by scalloped arches and technicolor windows unlike anything you've ever seen. As Burhan (your visual artist/cum host) shares tips on light, lenses, and basic etiquette, you'll be transported to a sepia-tinted era. Spend an hour taking pictures, posing, and looking back in time. For instance, the havelis, which symmetrically side the streets, lean toward one another as they ascend toward the skyline, forming a characteristic arch.

Stop 3

From Hanuman Ghat to Gangaur Ghat, a popular gathering place on Lake Pichola's tranquil waterfront, explore Udaipur's Old City. Visit Bagore Ki Haveli, a museum with magnificent frescos and mirrors, or plunge into Pichola with the locals. We'll also talk about Kuan Chowk and the lovely Lotus Fountain. We'll stop for a short while at the 110-year-old Lala Mishthaan Bhandar to replenish with some of Udaipur's greatest gulab jamuns.

Stop at Satta Pol for distinctive film from our visual artist before your photographic trip ends in the old city. Riding the chic e-bike, interact naturally while being steeped in history. Leave a trail of enchanted memories with 10 edited images and a one-minute vlog in just a few days. Rest of the time is for transportation.
