Heritage Hotels in Udaipur                                  Shikarbadi 

Originally a hunting lodge frequented by the royalty of Mewar, this Royal Retreat, is set amidst the serene, wooded Aravalis. Though only 15 minutes from the City Palace, this getaway is so peaceful that leaving the clamor of city life behind becomes easiest thing to do, while relaxing in one of its lakeside chalets. For wildlife and adventure buffs, there is a licensed Deer Park and also a provision for horseback excursions into the sanctuary and the Aravali hills where one can spot deer, antelope, wild boar, monkey and the nilgai. The hotel also has a private airstrip, a cricket ground where matches are organised regularly

Known for its traditional Mewari cuisine, the hotel's restaurants are very popular with the locals. The open-air restaurant, Risala, overlooking the distant Sajjangarh Fort has a campfire and bar-be-que on winter evenings.
