How we write our Udaipur guides

Why a hotel writes about Udaipur

Hotel Rudra Kripa is a hotel in Sukher, and people who stay in Udaipur ask the same questions: how far things are, what they cost, when to come. These guides answer those questions, and we hope that some readers will stay with us. They cover other parts of the city too, and they say so when another area would suit you better.

Where the facts come from

• First choice: the people who run the place, or a government body: the museum, the temple trust, Rajasthan Tourism, the India Meteorological Department, the Airports Authority of India.
• Second choice: Wikipedia and other published references, for history. Where they disagree on a year, we give the century.
• Last resort: travel sites and the local press. We say “reported” when we rely on one, and we show the range when they disagree.

Each guide lists its sources at the foot of the page, with the day each was read. Suggested visit lengths and day plans are our own judgement, not sourced facts. Many official pages don’t date their prices, so a listed fee may already be out of date. We tell you when that is the case.

What we don’t claim

We don’t say we have checked a fee at the counter unless we have, and at the time of writing none of these guides has been checked that way. We don’t invent personal experience, and we don’t publish reviews or names of people who didn’t write them.

How road distances are measured

Distances come from OpenStreetMap data, routed by car with OSRM from a named arrival point: a station forecourt, a gate or a ticket office. Because the start and end points are stated, you can compare figures fairly; many of the differences between websites come from measuring between different points. Drive times are deliberately cautious, since a routing engine doesn’t know about old-city lanes or festival traffic. See the road distances for the data and the rounding rules.

How AI is used

AI tools help to research these guides, draft them and check them against their sources. They can make mistakes, which is why each fact is tied to a source you can open yourself. Photographs of the sights are openly licensed from Wikimedia Commons and credited on the image; none is generated by AI.

Facts about the hotel

What we say about the hotel comes from the hotel’s own published information. Where a detail depends on the day or the room, such as rates, the guides ask you to check with the reservations team rather than guess.

Telling us about a mistake

If a fee, a time or anything else has changed, please email info@hotelrudrakripa.com with the page’s address. We correct mistakes and update the date at the top of the page when the copy changes.
