Udaipur is indeed a beautiful and one of the top destinations to visit in India. One should not think twice if planning for a weekend trip or a solo trip. There is something in the air of Udaipur which is definitely calling me back.
Camera Info: The Project has been shot using a single smartphone only which costs around 13000 INR or 178.99 USD. The trip was a sudden plan and as mentioned above, I didn't think twice before planning that trip. I just want to put a point through this project is that the pictures can be clicked with any camera if you don't own any professional camera and want to purchase the camera to learn photography then you are completely wrong, Pick your phone and start clicking pictures. Always remember, your eye is your first camera.
