A city by the lake

By now I'm really itching to travel and thankfully very soon I'm going to visit one of the most spectacular landscapes that India has to offer. Can't wait for this trip to begin but for now, here is another shot from my previous trip to Rajasthan.

This is Udaipur, which is also called the "City of Lakes". A huge part of the old Udaipur town is located on the shore of Lake Pichola.
