The park is maintained by Hindustan Zinc, which is reflected in its local name, Zinc Park.
Its location on the Machla Magra hill range provides a different elevation perspective compared to the island palaces in Lake Pichola.
The layout uses natural rock formations to create tiered seating areas for spectators.
It was developed as part of urban beautification projects to preserve green space in a rapidly growing city.
The viewpoint is positioned to capture the sun setting directly behind the mountain silhouette of the Aravalli range.
Sunset Point Park, also known as Zinc Park, is a elevated vantage point located near the southern tip of Lake Pichola in Udaipur. It provides a panoramic perspective of the city's western horizon and the surrounding Aravalli range. The park features landscaped walkways and terraced seating designed for viewing the sunset over the lake. Being situated on a hill slope, it offers an unobstructed line of sight that is otherwise rare in the dense urban center of Udaipur. It is primarily managed to serve as a public green space for evening leisure. The park is integrated into the hilly terrain, incorporating local vegetation into its layout. It functions as an accessible alternative to the more crowded viewpoints near the City Palace.
The highest terraced viewing platform facing the lake provides the clearest frame for sunset photography.
Arrive well before sunset to secure a spot on the tiered seating, as the best positions fill up rapidly.
Bring a light jacket if visiting between November and February, as the elevation can make it breezy after dusk.
Carry drinking water, as facilities within the park are limited.
Avoid relying on hawkers at the entrance for quality souvenirs or snacks, as better options are available in the city center.
Maintain a quiet demeanor to respect those watching the sunset; dispose of all waste in provided bins.
