Manasapurna Karani Mata Temple
Manasapurna Karani Mata Temple is located on top of Machhala Hill. Being located on a hill top, the surroundings of the temple provides awesome views of Udaipur. You can spot Lake Palace, City Palace, Fateh Sagar Lake, Jag Mandir, Sajjangarh Fort etc from the top of the hill.
Manasapurna Karani Mata Temple
There are two ways you can reach the top of Machhala Hill. The first one was the only way you could reach before 2008: by foot. The steep walk way would take you to the top of the hill in about 30 minutes. The other way is to take a cable car ride from Deen Dayal Park near Dudh Talai, about 3 km from City Palace. The cable car ride (also called Gandola ride) gives spectacular view of the nearby lakes.
View from cable car
As you alight from the cable car, there is a large platform where you can step in and see the amazing views of Udaipur. You can also go round the hill to get a bird’s eye view of Udaipur on the other side of the hill.
View from the platform: Lake Palace and City Palace view
Udaipur City view on the other side of the hill
Another view of Udaipur: Gulab Bagh view
