Once you reach the top, you don’t know where to look. Left, right, in front of you, behind you - the view is spectacular everywhere. And especially during sunset, when the sun slowly sets behind the hills and the city is covered with a golden glow, the views from the Karni Mata Temple are magically beautiful. Read also: dhanvitours.com/blog/best-forts-and-palaces-of-rajasthan Due to its elevated position on the Machla Magra Hills, the Karni Mata Temple offers great views of the city, lakes and the many green hills that surround Udaipur. Just like the rat temple of the same name in Bikaner, the temple is dedicated to the goddess Karni Mata. It was built between 1620 and 1628 by Maharana Karan Singh and the story goes that a visit to the temple extends your life. The believers also say that if you visit the advanced within the morning or evening, the goddess will fulfill all of your needs and wishes. However, most tourists do not visit this place in front of the temple, but because of the panoramic view of the city, which is breathtakingly beautiful during sunset - it is not called Sunset Point for anything. When you reach the top, you can walk to the left to a viewpoint, where you can see the iconic Pichola lake. When you walk to the right, you come to a plateau that also overlooks the city. The viewpoint is just below the old center and can be reached via a hiking trail and a cable car. The trail starts in the Manikal Verma Park, next to the Doodh Talai lake, and it takes about 15-20 minutes before you reach the top. You can also choose to take the cable car that leaves from the cable car station in Deendayal Upadhyay Park. If you go by cable car, you pay 109 rupees per person for a return ticket (2018). Certainly, in the high season it is busy, so count on an hour of waiting time. If you want to see the sunset, it is best to be there an hour and a half in advance. The drive itself takes about 5 minutes and along the way you have beautiful views of the city and the surrounding area. Amayra thought that it was worth the wait, afterward, I had just started walking so sweetly that I didn’t have to wait an hour. Because everyone wants to go down at the same time after sunset, the queues for the way back are very long. We, therefore, chose to walk back and were down again within fifteen minutes. Then it’s about a 20-minute walk to the center, but you can of course also use a rickshaw, which you drive to the center in 5-10 minutes.
