Monsoon Palace
Another film location in the area is Monsoon Palace, built on
top of a hill, overlooking Udaipur. This Monsoon

visits
Octopussy's
home, a
structure
which is
another
palace, the
Taj Lake
Palace, also
known as the
floating
palace, now
a hotel.
Located on a
natural
foundation
of 4 acres
(16,000 m2)
rock on the
Jag Niwas
island in
Lake Pichola,
the
beautiful
Taj Lake
Palace hotel
has 83 rooms

restored and
turned into
a hotel. In

second
restoration
was
undertaken.
