Where locals go
Udaipur locals avoid the Lal Ghat lakefront after 10am. Families gather at Sukhadia Circle from 6pm for kulfi and roasted corn. The Hiran Magri sectors, 3-4 km east of the old city, hold the dhaba rows, chai stalls, and Sector 14 cafes where Mewari is the only language you'll hear. Surajpol market and Hathipole street are where locals shop.
