Udaipur is a beautiful city in the Indian State of Rajasthan.

I like this paradise because it is the land of

Maharana Pratap who fought many wars to save the honour of Mewar, its people and tradition. Apart
from its heritage status, I like this city for its picturesque beauty with splendid Lake Pichhola lapping
against shimmering white buildings and the stunning Aravali hills closing in to savor the view. The
master piece of the city is the floating lake palace which I admire the most. It seems to me that
gorgeous lakes, beautiful lush green gardens, inspiring palaces, forts, old Mansions and havelies of
Udaipur are straight out of a fairy tale book. Changes To Be Made in Udaipur Udaipur is an
International destination as well as an exotic city offering various tourist activities. To preserve the
reputation of the city, I wish to change a few things for it with changing times so that our city can
continue to be called as Kashmir of Rajasthan. For this the top of the agenda is maintenance of the
places of tourist interest. They should be maintained in good condition and their cleanliness should be
the foremost priority. The tourists from abroad as well as from other parts of the country reach Udaipur
through air, road and rail. Udaipur falls on the Golden Quadrilateral so it is well connected to the
country by road but not by rail and air. Udaipur lacks direct connectivity to south India and major cities
of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. More trains should be introduced connecting these places which would
increase the inflow of domestic tourist traffic. More private airlines should be permitted to operate in
this sector so that more foreign tourists can visit this area. Frequency of flights should be increased
connecting different parts of the country. Local transport needs upliftment for local people as well as
tourists. Metered taxis and auto-rickshaws as well as regular city bus service should be introduced for
the convenience of the tourists and the local people. The traffic movement within the city needs to be
taken care for the safety of the people. Considering the size and population of the city, number of
vehicles is very large and the movement of traffic is also very fast and rash which needs to be
controlled and regulated. With the increase in the size and population of the city, the medical facilities
also should be improved for the better health of the people. Due to changing lifestyle and modern
eating habits, people require more and specialized medical attention. Government and general public
duties to make Udaipur a dream place Maintenance and cleanliness of the places of tourist interest can
be done with the help of local administration and people visiting these places. Administration can take
the help of the NGOs and voluntary organizations for the purpose which will help in the growth of
tourism. Local administration with the help of these organizations should raise public awareness of the
environment to sensitize tourists to nature and its processes and to reduce negative impacts of human
activities on natural areas specially around lakes and gardens. For the maintenance of tourist spots, the

security aspect of these places should be strengthened and strict vigilance is also necessary. India has
promoted the idea of Atithi Devo Bhavah (the guest is divine) to protect international tourists from
negative experiences such as cheating and rudeness. CCTV cameras should be installed in prominent
and sensitive places for the security of the tourists and the travelers as their protection is the foremost
responsibility of the government. Udaipur is well connected between Delhi and Mumbai on National
Highway (NH) 8 as such most of the domestic as well as foreign tourist come by road but the condition
of the state government buses and Udaipur bus stand needs to be revamped. Keeping in view the
importance of the city, the government should take necessary steps to improve the condition of bus
stand as well as condition of the state owned buses. Most of the buses are old. They should be replaced
with the latest models which are environment friendly, have larger seats and better air conditioning.
Due to lack of organized local and public transport, tourists visiting this city have to rely upon their
tour operators or their hoteliers. Local Administration should introduce metered taxi and auto rickshaw
for the convenience of the tourists especially domestic tourists. Local City bus should also be
introduced which would ease the traffic load of the city. The traffic movement within the city needs to
be controlled and organized because of the increasing population and large number of private vehicles.
Proper and systematic parking measures should be taken by the local administration to get rid of
parking nuisance in the busy market areas and places of tourist interest. Helmet should be made
compulsory for two wheelers. Teenagers without valid driving license should not be permitted to drive
vehicles. This should be implemented by traffic police in true spirit and should be strictly followed by
the people for their own safety. With the increase in the population of the city, the government and
health organizations should take essential steps for better, specialized and prompt medical facilities to
the people in effective and most convenient way, so that they dont need to depend for medical
facilities in nearby major cities like Ahmedabad and Jaipur. More specialized government hospitals
should be brought up to cater the need of common people who cannot afford the expensive medical
treatment of private hospitals. Last but not the least, I wish that it should not only maintain its rich
heritage but surge ahead keeping with changing times of modern banking, Industrial and Technological
development also. Udaipur is a visual treat for its vibrant colourful lifestyle, something that will keep
the traveller rapt with attention, as experience that he will cherish for the lifetime INCREDIBLE
UDAIPUR Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam Be it ever so humble, there is no place like
Udaipur my home!!!
