Top Things to Do on New Year in Udaipur 2026 

We have covered the most exciting party venues in Udaipur, the best spots for dining, and even the top places for staycations. Let’s see what more you can do here and make the most of your trip to Udaipur.  

Watch Breathtaking Fireworks Shows  



While there aren’t any scheduled fireworks displays, you are sure to see mesmerizing shows at midnight, which the locals and tourists will be doing everywhere. It’s best to be under a starlit sky and near the lake, so you can enjoy watching the sparkling sky along with the glittering lake.  

Explore the Beauty of Udaipur 



The City of Lakes is also about stunning forts and temples, which is why we suggest you don’t limit your itinerary to lakes and restaurants. Head out for sightseeing in the daytime and then enjoy the beautiful sunset views at one of the top sunset points in the city. Here are some places you should not miss out on: 

For Sightseeing  

• Monsoon Palace or Sajjangarh  
• Rayta Hills 
• Jagdish Temple  
• City Palace  
• Bagore Ki Haveli  
• Gangaur Ghat  
• Eklingji Temple  

For Sunrise & Sunset Views  

• Bahubali Hills 
• Karni Mata Temple  
• Fateh Sagar  

Watch a Cultural Show 



So, you’re visiting Udaipur, one of the most elegant places in the country, and don’t have any plans for watching cultural and traditional shows? Well, you will have it now. Watch the famous Dharohar Dance show at Bagore Ki Haveli. It is sure to leave you mesmerized. And when you have time, watch the famous sound and light show at the City Palace. 

Tips for Planning Your Udaipur New Year Trip 

To not only have the best New Year party in Udaipur but also to have the best trip ever, you gotta keep in mind the following tips for planning: 

• Before making any bookings, set a clear budget. If you miss this step, you’re likely to be tempted by pricier and better activities, parties, dinners, and staycations, and BOOM—you’re out of money! 
• Plan your dates (duration of your trip) and book everything early. Booking early not only means you get everything at great prices, but it also means that you will get the best options. The later you book, the fewer choices you will have and the more you’ll be required to pay.  
• Plan your New Year’s Eve and the next morning first. Once you know what you’re doing on the 31st evening and 1st morning, you can plan the rest of your itinerary around it.  
• Udaipur's weather in December is quite chilly—the nighttime lows can be as low as 5 degrees Celsius. So, pack as many layers as you may need. Don’t forget to pack a pair of comfortable shoes to walk along the sloping hill roads of the city.  

 So, which of the above-mentioned best places for New Year parties in Udaipur do you plan to attend? In any case, have a happy New Year!
