While at Balsamand Lake Palace, don’t miss visiting the nearby Balsamand Lake, an artificial lake constructed in the 11th century. Its purpose was to preserve rainwater and provide water to the people of Mandore. You should also visit the Mandore Government Museum, located just a few kilometres from the Palace. And if you’re interested in historic monuments, the Jaswant Thada, constructed in 1899 by Maharaja Sardar Singh in memory of his father Maharaja Jaswant Singh II, is a must-visit.
