The Monsoon Palace in Udaipur is actually privately owned, unlike most of the palaces around India which are government-owned. The owners dedicate a majority of their profits to community causes, (greatly needed as there is immense and heart-breaking poverty everywhere.) We were led on a tour through the inside and in the evening, did a sunset cruise to view the palace from the lake surrounding a portion of it.
