Udaipur is a popular lakeside resort in a semi-arid region of Rajasthan. It is famous for the Lake Palace Hotel, one of the most expensive and snobbish hotels in India: you can't even enter unless you're a guest or have a dining reservation. But there are plenty of more reasonable places nearby. Years of drought have dropped the level of the lake to the point where you can walk to the Lake Palace. You could call it the Mud Palace.
