It was our first time in India and as an animal lover, I had been very disturbed by the plight of some of the animals we’d seen living on the streets. I felt like I needed to do something to help but was unsure what. By chance we got talking to a lovely Australian lady in Udaipur who was feeding the street dogs, she then told us about Animal Aid Unlimited and the rescue centre. We took a tuk-tuk up to the centre, which was a lovely 20 min drive through the countryside. The volunteer coordinator, Rachel, showed us around and was very clearly passionate about the work they do and answered loads of questions, not only about the animals but also about living in India. It was a privilege to be able to spend time with the animals in such a well organised and inspiring place. There is absolutely no hard sell which was refreshing. I bought a T-shirt whilst there and have also since set up a regular donation to help support their work. Hoping to return as a long term volunteer in the future. If you care about animals it is an absolute must.

Jagdish Temple is a very famous Hindu temple situated in the middle of Udaipur. This major attraction is devoted to Lord Vishnu, the preserver of the universe
Reviewed By ticaeye - San Jose, Costa Rica
The entrance looks like the stairway to heaven. As you walk up 32 marble steps you get a view of the surrounding buildings and kind of get the feeling of floating. Jagdish consists of three stories of hand carved stone, with a steeple nearly 79 feet high and is the largest temple of Udaipur. The temple sanctum has an idol of the deity Lord Jagannath /Lord Vishnu carved out of a single black stone. The entire temple is intricately carved.

Saheliyon ki Bari is another beautiful piece of architecture in Udaipur. This was built by Maharana Sangram Singh for his wife and the 48 royal maids who accompanied the queen. Saheliyon ki Bari is a fountain garden with greenery all around which provided a green retreat to the royal ladies. The ornate fountains and the well laid out pools are a treat to watch. The entire ambiance inside Saheliyon ki Bari is that of an oasis. We really liked the concept of summer garden decorated with automatic fountains.
