We're already one week into our tour of India, where the beauty has been non-stop and the luxury seems to be building. We're now spending two days in the oasis of Udaipur, referred to by some as the "City of Lakes and Palaces" and as "The Venice of the East" by others. Can this Rajasthan jewel beat the state's capital in family-friendly fun culture?

We've already made our way through the authentic beauty of Delhi and Agra and now we're about to spend two perfect days exploring Jaipur, India. We've heard some great things about this jewel of Rajasthan, but we can't help but wonder how much culture you can really squeeze from a city in the middle of the desert of northern India.
