My recent visit to Udaipur for a vibrant #Startup event reminded me just why it’s one of India’s finest cities. The way the city has consciously preserved its heritage by restoring palaces, carefully managing lakefronts and curating public spaces shows how beauty can be protected without losing its essence and historical significance. It’s a living example of how tourism, conservation and local culture can move forward together. Phenomenal destination !
