Dungarpurडुंगरपुर
Spend a half‑day in Dungarpur for the palace, stepwell and lake; add a night if you want boating and a relaxed pace.
Dungarpur is a small historic town in southern Rajasthan. Its main sights – Juna Mahal, Udai Bilas Palace, Naulakha Bawdi and Gaip Sagar Lake – are clustered within 2 km of the centre, so a half‑day visit covers the highlights. An overnight stay lets you enjoy a lake boat ride and explore the museum and car collection at a leisurely pace.
