Your local host Raghav has been fortunate to be born in an erstwhile royal family of Udaipur, which has an unbroken lineage of over 1400 years. He lives with his beautiful children and wife in their ancestral home with magnificent views of the valley. The cooking class will be conducted by the resident chef, who has worked with them for the last 20 years and knows all the secret family recipes! He will reveal few closely guarded secrets behind the Mewar cuisine of Indian royalty. The royal cuisine of Mewar is usually simple, rustic yet flavorsome and depends quintessentially on dry fruits, spices and fresh fruits, vegetables, and meats of the season. In your 1 hour hands-on cooking class, you will join the family chef to make Hare bater (farmed quails in a green curry) and dal chitrakoot (lentils from Chittor) and will learn to combine local produce with old traditional recipes before you sit down to enjoy the meal with your host and his family.

    Wonderful Evening

    We thoroughly enjoyed our experience in the lovely home with Mrs Shelja Singh and her chef (her husband was away at work). It was informative to learn how some of the dishes were prepared and cooked and the resulting meal was delicious. Shelja shared wonderful stories of her and her husband's life and travels in India and beyond..

    Gracious hosts, delicious meal. Not to be missed!

    My husband and I were privileged to enjoy a lovely evening at the home of Raghav Raj Singh and his beautiful wife. Dinner was fabulous, and they shared recipes. As the Taj is the highlight of a visit to Agra, dinner with the Singh’s was the highlight of our time in Udaipur. Do make time for this , you will be glad you did.

    Ecellent dinner with Raghav and his family

    We were on vacation in Udaipur in January 2020 and we we had an opportunity to take this fantastic Merwar cuisine of Indian Royalty cooking class in Ragahv;s 18th century castle on the outskirts of Udaipur. Raghav and his family are great hosts and the conversation flowed effortlessly. Our experience was more like watching a demonstration than preparing everything from scratch. We observed how to cook Hariyali Murg (chicken in green curry). Raghav's chef also prepared paneer masala, bindi (okra), rice , and carrot halwa (pudding) for dessert. The meal and overall experience was memorable. I have never before met anyone from a royal family. Raghav is also an accomplished polo player and has traveled all over the world for polo matches. The evening just flew by. Highly recommended

    Royal Mewari Cooking Class in a 18th Century Udaipur Castle: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Udaipur.

    How much does Royal Mewari Cooking Class in a 18th Century Udaipur Castle cost?

    +

    Prices start at $70 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Udaipur usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Royal Mewari Cooking Class in a 18th Century Udaipur Castle take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Udaipur is not rushed.

    Is Royal Mewari Cooking Class in a 18th Century Udaipur Castle worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Udaipur, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Royal Mewari Cooking Class in a 18th Century Udaipur Castle?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Royal Mewari Cooking Class in a 18th Century Udaipur Castle suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Royal Mewari Cooking Class in a 18th Century Udaipur Castle?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Udaipur can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Udaipur and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Royal Mewari Cooking Class in a 18th Century Udaipur Castle start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Udaipur within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Udaipur?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Udaipur experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Udaipur Sightseeing Tour Package with Guide and Private Taxi, Full-Day Private Udaipur Sightseeing Tour with optional Guide, Private Udaipur Sightseeing Tour by Tuk-Tuk or Car with Driver. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Udaipur?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Udaipur?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Royal Mewari Cooking Class in a 18th Century Udaipur Castle?

    +

    Included: Local alcohol (1-2 glasses); Homecooked meal; and Private cooking class in a royal home with your host Raghav. Not included: Hotel pickup and drop-off. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Royal Mewari Cooking Class in a 18th Century Udaipur Castle?

    +

    Please meet your host Raghav at her home in Titardi neighborhood of Udaipur. Exact address can be found in your ticket upon booking confirmation. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Royal Mewari Cooking Class in a 18th Century Udaipur Castle offered in?

    +

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Royal Mewari Cooking Class in a 18th Century Udaipur Castle?

    +

    What happens to Royal Mewari Cooking Class in a 18th Century Udaipur Castle if the weather is bad?
