If you are still unsure how to spend your time at the lake and what activities to do at Fateh Sagar Lake, do not worry. I have compiled all kinds of activities you can do at the lake.

1. Go for an adventure-filled water sports

It is one of the most recommended activities for travellers at Fateh Sagar Lake. Take a scenic boat ride and enjoy the lake view. You will fall in love with the place. The boat ride soothes your mind and takes you close to the Aravalli hills. There are speed boats available for adventurous souls. Unleash your adventurous side and experience the joy of riding a speedboat on the lake. You can even opt for Jet Ski. It all depends on your preference.

The cost for these activities starts from INR 20 and can go up to INR 500. The cost of the ride varies according to nationality.

2. Visit the tiny islands on the lake

The unique pear-shaped artificial lake Fateh Sagar is divided into three tiny islands. So one of the common activities at the lake is to visit each island. On my solo trip to Udaipur, I enjoyed visiting each of these islands. The first island is converted into the beautiful Nehru Park. If you love art and nature, Nehru Park is the place to spend some quality time. 

Another island consists of gorgeous water fountains. In the evening, these fountains are lit up to elevate the beauty of the place. 

One will surely be delighted if they have a keen interest in astronomy as the third island houses Asia’s best solar site, Udaipur Solar Observatory.
