Why we like Leela Palace Udaipur

Discover the culinary specialities of the region at The Leela Palace and dine like a Maharaja. Look forward to fun-filled evenings with traditional dance and music — the backdrop to indulgent dining experiences.

Meet and spend time in the company of the Chef and learn farm to table concept. Accompany him to the local market by tuk-tuk and watch street food being prepared. During the three days learn how to prepare Masala Chai and Mewari local snacks. The three days, interspersed with spa treatments, really is the way to live like a king!
