Mementos by ITC Hotels, Ekaaya, Udaipur

Within a short drive of the Eklingji temple complex north of Udaipur, Ekaaya occupies a heritage property in the village of Raya, placing guests well outside the lake-city tourist circuit while keeping Udaipur's City Palace under an hour's reach.

The ITC Mementos collection positions each outpost around a specific cultural anchor; here that anchor is the Mewar temple trail rather than the lake frontage that most Udaipur hotels compete over. Rooms are designed around local craft traditions — stone inlay and block-print textiles drawn from the surrounding villages.

Raya sits roughly 22 km north of central Udaipur on the NH48 corridor, making day trips to Nathdwara's Shrinathji shrine equally practical. The 9.6 rating across 45 reviews suggests a property that rewards guests willing to trade lakeside convenience for quieter, craft-focused immersion.
