Badi lake also known as tiger lake is a serene lake situated amid majestic mountains. The thing that makes this lake stand out is the serenity and peace unlike other lakes located in the city area. As this lake is situated slightly outside the city and near to village area it is not visited by regular tourists, the reason it remains less crowded. You can go further deeper into the lake water to enjoy its beauty. This lake and its water is not fully visible as it is covered by the chain of hills.

How to reach Alsigarh

There are multiple routes that lead to Alsigarh but the best route is undoubted via Balicha, the broad smooth highway that would comfortably take you to Alsigarh. I started off from the Fatehpura circle, my route was Fatehpura-Sukhadia Circle-Delhigate-Surajpol-Udiyapol-Balicha-Alsigarh-Rayta-Udaipur. If you are a tourist staying in old Udaipur city your nearest point would be Surajpol choraha.
