How To Reach Lake Badi View Point

Udaipur, Rajasthan, India
Lake Badi, originally named Jiyan Sagar, is an artificial freshwater lake located in the village of Badi, about 12 KMS from Udaipur city. It was constructed between 1652 and 1680 by Maharana Raj Singh I, who named it after his mother, Jana Devi. The primary purpose of its construction was to counter act the devastating effects of famine and drought that plagued the region, ensuring a stable water supply for the local population. The lake covers a significant area, estimated to be around 155 sq. km, although this measurement can vary. The lake is known for its relatively untouched and tranquil environment, offering a peaceful escape from the main city?s tourist crowds. The area is devoid of heavy commercialization, providing a serene expanse of water surrounded by the rugged Aravalli mountains. The main attraction for visitors, however, is the Lake Badi View Point, popularly known as Bahubali Hill. This nearby hilltop is the vantage point from which visitors can witness breathtaking panoramic views of the sprawling Lake Badi, the surrounding hills, and the distant Sajjangarh Palace. Reaching the summit of Bahubali Hill involves a short, gentle trek or hike of about 10-15 minutes from the parking area. The effort is immensely rewarding, offering one of the most stunning 360-degree views in the Udaipur region. The view point is particularly famous for its spectacular sunrise and sunset vistas, where the sky changes color dramatically over the peaceful lake and the undulating hills. The tranquil beauty and photographic opportunities at the viewpoint have made it a highly essential inclusion on any Udaipur itinerary for nature lovers and trekkers.

How to Reach

By Air:The nearest airport is Maharana Pratap Airport (UDR), approximately 30-35 KMS away. From the airport, one must hire a pre-paid taxi or a private cab. The travel time will be around 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes.

By Train:The nearest railway station is the Udaipur City Railway Station (UDZ). Lake Badi View Point is about 12 KMS from the station. The best option is to hire a private taxi or pre-book a return auto-rickshaw (Tuk-Tuk). A taxi is more comfortable for this distance.

By Road (Car/Bike):The most convenient way to reach is by a hired taxi, private car, or a rented scooter/bike. The route is well-marked on GPS, leading through the outskirts of Udaipur to the village of Badi. The road is generally good. Look for the sign or turn-off for Bahubali Hill near the lake.

By Local Transport (Hired Auto/Taxi):The recommended local option is to hire an auto-rickshaw or a cab for a round trip (including waiting time) from the main city. A one-way auto ride will be expensive and finding a return auto from Badi can be difficult. Negotiate a return fare, which is typically around Rs.500 to Rs.700 depending on the vehicle and season.
