Explore the City of Lakes
WCI 2027 takes place in one of India's most breathtaking destinations. Udaipur — a city of palaces, lakes, and vibrant Rajasthani culture — awaits beyond the congress.
Udaipur — Beyond the Congress
Known as the "Venice of the East," Udaipur is one of India's most romantic and historically rich cities. Founded in 1559 by Maharana Udai Singh II, it is renowned for its ornate palaces, shimmering lakes, and vibrant Rajasthani traditions.
October is the perfect time to visit — post-monsoon greenery, comfortable temperatures, and the city at its most vivid. WCI 2027 delegates are encouraged to extend their stay.
"Udaipur is everything you imagine India to be — and then some. A city that is impossible to forget."
— Lonely Planet
