Udaipur is described in my guide as "romantic", but somewhat over run with motorcycles and tourist boutiques, which helped subdue expectations! It is no Venice, and the "sunset" boat ride on the lake was not dazzling, but we enjoyed both a dinner and a lunch overlooking the lake from different restaurants: very pleasant. The bazaars were fun to explore, I even saw a working elephant walking down a main road.
Highlight of the stopover was the little Tribal Museum associated with a research centre. It displayed a limited number of objects along side of painted replicas of tribal wall paintings and photographs of tribal dancers and ceremonies. Very simple displays about various tribal people and their art.
