The Sabarmati Riverfront is one of the newer additions to Ahmedabad's attractions, and it offers beautiful views of the city at night. It also has attractions such as a zip-line and boat rentals.
Sabarmati Riverfront is definitely a go-to place. Lot of activities available like speed boating, yachts, kids boating area. Water scooter, cycling, Boat rides, and good restaurants. Best time to visit is early morning or evening after 7 pm. Currently some areas are restricted for general people. During Evening city lights makes this place worth spending time. However it is not wheelchair friendly. Someone should definitely think about it..

It's our regular hangout place. It's better to drive here through 2 wheelers instead of a car. Police may get you a penalty ticket if you park outside around the road.
You can walk around a bit at night time. You can jog or excercise in the morning and you can ride a bicycle as well.
You may wanna try sitting at a quite and peaceful place instead of crowded place. A lot people come here with their families and their partners too.

With its scenic boat rides and ample walking spaces, it provides a refreshing escape from the city's hustle and bustle. Whether you're seeking relaxation or leisurely strolls, the Riverfront promises an enjoyable experience for everyone, making it a must-visit destination in Ahmedabad
Ankit Hadiyal — Google review
The riverfront is nice but the accessibility is a bit hectic. If an old person wants to visit the place there are no amenities one has to walk a long distance. There is a facility of using bikes. But what's the point if one has to return the same place after the ride.it would have been better if the bike points have a linkage from one to others . There's a boat rides too which follows the same facility as bikes.Overall its nice place to visit but when one has spent so much on the development of waterfront. Its better to overlook the accessibility in the development too.

It's a calm and peaceful place to hang out alone, or with friends or family. Children can enjoy skating, cycling, walking. It's beautiful during night time to look at the buildings on the other end and the view of Atal Bridge.
You can picnic out here or sit and enjoy reading a book on the weekends. The Riverfront is a big stretch. Their are stairs to go down to the river front and enjoy the view.

One of the best visiting places in Ahmedabad is the Sabarmati River Front. I literally spent hours sitting by the river, feeling the mild breeze and enjoying the sunset. They made a park also. Which wasn't the centre of attraction for me. Rather, I enjoyed the sitting area and the walking/running path made around the river. Many people go for morning/evening walks as I sat there and saw. A place for good vibes indeed.

Very nice Place to visit With Friends and Family. the Ahmedabad Flower Show has become one more unique attraction of the city people look for. This annual event was started in 2013 with an aim to make people aware of horticulture, nature, and environment. Citizens are educated on the subjects like how to do roof top gardening, prepare garden in office, net house, kitchen gardening etc. Must visit the 2024 New Year celebration.

Sabarmati riverfront is very good riverfront in the Gujarat and it is known for boating,gaming zone,food zone and for fun in the Gujarat.
Very fine structure is made in the riverfront. But nowadays it not maintained properly and got dirty with plastics and many dirty things. It is very big riverfront and also you can enjoy your holiday here with your family and the friends. Riverfront contains quite good parking area.
On the Sunday it is full with people. You should visit at least for one time.

✍🏻The Sabarmati river is a monsoon-fed river which has a total catchment area of 21,674 square kilometres (8,368 sq mi). The Dharoi Dam constructed in 1976 upstream of Ahmedabad controls water and protects from flooding while Vasna Barrage constructed in 1976 downstream retains water in the river along the city banks and diverts it through Fatehwadi canal for irrigation. The Narmada Canal, which crosses Sabarmati a few kilometres upstream from the city, is part of a larger canal network of Sardar Sarovar Dam. The canal can feed excess water to the river and maintains the level of water in the river which is retained through Vasna Barrage.
The Sabarmati Ashram will be also connected to lower promenade and existing steps will be developed as an amphitheater. The 3.3 ha Heritage Plaza along the city walls between Ellis Bridge and Nehru Bridge will be designed as open space showcasing heritage, history and culture of the city. Some sports complexes are also proposed. Thank You 🙏🏻

If you are new to this city then probably you will find difficulty in car and bike but this place is fully equipped with multistorey car and bike parking exactly opposite to this park entry and from this parking you can directly enter into the park premises from the first floor. Outside eatables are allowed and food served on this site probably you may not like it and so suggestions take it from outside.

Such a wonderful place. Calm and serene. The riverfront sides have cycle rental facilities which seemed a bit costly. However its worth it. The view of atal bridge from the riverfront is so good. I have lot of good memories in this place.

The riverfront on Sabarmati River has given new identity to Ahmedabad. The Riverfront has quickly become popular hangout destination for Amdavadis.
I lived in Ahmedabad from 1979 to 1994 before moving to US. But, today’s Ahmedabad is completely different and has transformed into one of the best cities in India. The major credit goes to Sabarmati Riverfront.
Since, there are not many public parks in the city, the Riverfront has become major attraction both for locals and tourists. To my surprise, the gardens were well maintained and reasonably clean.
The Atal walking bridge is part of the whole riverfront project and connects the East and West of Sabarmati Riverfront. The colorful walking bridge is like a tail of the kite (kite flying is very popular here). You can view the beautiful river and city lighting from the bridge and relax on the benches (if you find a place).
The negative side of the place is that it is too crowded to sit and relax. It is hard to take pictures without photobombing. The place could have been much cleaner. Everything looked dusty. If you are in Ahmedabad, it is recommended to visit in the evening time.
Ashok Patel — Google review
Kudos to AUDA for the development they have done. Amazing work done. Looks like you are in a new country. Also the people of Ahemdabad are too kind, helpful and jolly who supported the system in keeping this place and setting a benchmark. Delhi should also work on such things and make masterpieces in Delhi also.
Online tickets are available and parking is free. Please note free parking as there are people asking money for the parking and running a scam.

Build around the sabarmati river, it is a paradise for walkers and people who want to spent some time together. Both electric and normal cycles for rent available. There was previously boating now I think it's stopped. A small cruise boat for large crowds is available though.

The Sabarmati Riverfront, a splendid 11km concrete promenade, offers a captivating view of the Sabarmati River. Its daytime ambiance is a harmonious blend of Brutalist and Modernist architecture, punctuated by the verdant greenery of Neem trees, adding a touch of nature to the urban landscape.
During weekdays, the Riverfront is typically less crowded, making it an ideal spot for tranquil walks or leisure activities. The weekends attract more visitors, yet the expansive space ensures there's room for everyone. With no entry fee, it serves as a perfect weekend retreat for families.
The Riverfront stretches across various localities, some of which may not be safe at certain times. Therefore, if you plan to explore the entire length of the Riverfront, either on foot or by bicycle, it's advisable to do so in the company of others.
The atmosphere here is positively vibrant, particularly during winter mornings. It's a sight to behold as the cityscape is bathed in the warm glow of the rising sun. I highly recommend a visit to the Sabarmati Riverfront for anyone seeking to experience this beautiful spectacle.

Excellent just love ❤️ this place. This place is owned by Amul company itself. Located just outside the main production facility. All amul products are available here some of which are not available in local shops all across the country. Beside amul normal products atta, ketchup, cola , bread etc are available here. Quality is too good. Amul cola is good in taste. Keychup also tastes very good.

Factory outlet of amul right outside amul dairy. Huge place which offers all amul products including products which I haven't seen anywhere else. I wasn't aware that amul even produces bread until I visited this place. They also have a restaurant at this place where they serve some mouth watering food.

One of India's pride has always been Amul. It has held a place in every Indian's heart. Witnessing the home at Anand and being given a friendly tour, at absolutely no cost is what makes this place a must visit. The food plaza is also a must visit after the industrial tour.

Here you will get each and every product line of amul, ice cream, choclates, e.t.c. The only thing to be noted is that you will get everything on the same rates as you get on retail shops, no advantage of factory outlet.

The entry fee for the lake is Rs 10 per person. It is better to scan the QR code present at the entry gate and buy the tickets for the lake and the zoo to avoid the hassle of standing in a queue.
Ample parking is available from Rs. 90 onwards.
There is a lot of activities that one can enjoy with friends and family, starting from visiting the zoo, boating, haunted house etc. Visit the lake on weekdays to avoid the crowd.
Drinking water and washrooms are also available. There are also some decent eating joints.

Geeth — Google review
Vast expanse to spend some, alone time😁 though I would prefer it to be more quiet.🔇🔕😶🤫
The authorities should ensure that the lake is maintained clean. The least they can do is to educate or penalize the unruly public who litter their surroundings. There are enough trash cans, yet these plastic bottles end up in the lake.
Boat riding is a very short lived experience for a 130rs ticket.
Trams look attractive that facilitates a whole view of this place in a leisurely manner.
Towards evening, it is excessively crowded and noisy.
Good place to hang out with your friends, family or even just yourself 😁.
It was raining heavily and thus I was spared of a huge rush that we usually witness on weekends.
Entry fee is 20 rs.
Boat riding is not that satisfactory for an amount of rs130. Just a quick round, and it's over in the wink of an eye.
The overall view of the whole river front is aesthetically very good. There are many food chains where you can treat yourself to yummy food or even a softee. 😊😋🍨🍧🍦🥃
A ride in the tram is something I might try next time.

Pros: The lake and surrounding infrastructure has developed a lot since I lasted visited the place 20 years ago. There are a lot of things for kids to play and watch.
Cons: Complicated ticketing process as tickets need to be purchased at various points - entrance, zoo, rides etc. Parking facility is inconvenient and not developed at all. The condition of zoo animals and enclosures are poor. We saw the skinniest Lion ever! And finally, there was no drinking water in the zoo and the facilities including toilets were not clean.

"Being a Gujarati, I thought I should be able to render the greatest services to the country through the Gujarati language. And then as Ahmedabad was an ancient centre of hand loom weaving, it was likely to be most favourable field for the revival of the cottage industry of hand spinning. There was also a hope that, the city being capital of Gujarat, monetary help from its wealthy citizens would be more available than any other place".
This was an explanation given by Gandhiji for choosing Ahmedabad as is hub of activities.
Gandhiji selected a place on the bank of the river Sabarmati very close to the Saint Dadheechi’s temple as well as from Jail and a crematorium. Gandhi used to remark, "This is the right place for our activities to carry on the search for Truth and develop Fearlessness for on one side are the iron bolts of the foreigners and on the other, thunderbolts of mother nature." After building a few essential structures, activities of the Ashram commenced in 1917.
Gandhiji had driven all the major activities of independence as well as upliftment of the society from this Ashram which was popularly known as Sabarmati Ashram. He stayed in the ashram for many years before he finally proceeded for a march to Dandi to break the salt law on 12 March 1930. Before starting the march to Dandi, Gandhiji declared that he will not return to the ashram before the independence of the country.
The Gandhi Smarak Sangrahalaya is run by a public trust established in 1951. The museum’s new premises were built in 1963. The museum’s main objective is to house the personal memorabilia of Mahatma Gandhi. Consequently the exhibits on view depict the vivid and historic events of Gandhiji’s life. There are books, manuscripts and photocopies of his correspondence, photographs of Gandhiji with his wife Kasturba and other ashram associates, life size oil paintings and actual relics like his writing desk and spinning wheel.

The ashram is well maintained and very clean. There are so many Arte facts that symbolizes so many important events in the Indian freedom struggle. The galleries are amazing and so informative. Me and my friends visited the ashram for our project and we were amazed to find so detailed information. I especially liked the timelines, they just take you back in time. Anyone who wants to know about our proud history and Gandhi's amazing and simple life should visit the ashram. The river gives a nice and calming view as well.

My visit to Gandhi Ashram on Sunday was an enriching experience that left a lasting impression on me. As I stepped into the serene surroundings of the ashram, I was immediately struck by the sense of peace and tranquility that enveloped the place.
The ashram, located on the banks of the Sabarmati River in Ahmedabad, is a testament to Mahatma Gandhi's philosophy of truth and non-violence. Walking through the various exhibits and displays, I gained insight into Gandhi's life, his principles, and his role in India's struggle for independence.
One of the highlights of my visit was exploring the quaint museum housed within the ashram, which showcases Gandhi's personal belongings, letters, and photographs. It felt like stepping back in time and getting a glimpse into the life of one of the most influential figures in modern history.
I also took a leisurely stroll along the peaceful riverfront, where Gandhi and his followers used to engage in prayer and meditation. The simplicity and serenity of the surroundings were truly refreshing, providing a much-needed break from the hustle and bustle of city life.
Overall, my visit to Gandhi Ashram was a memorable one, filled with reflection and introspection. It served as a reminder of the enduring relevance of Gandhi's teachings in today's world and left me inspired to strive for truth, peace, and justice in my own life.
If you're ever in Ahmedabad, I highly recommend taking the time to visit Gandhi Ashram. It's not just a historical landmark, but a place of profound spiritual significance that has the power to touch hearts and minds.

The place is really good on the bank of Sabarmati river, On Riverfront.
there are limited car parking, it seems around 20 cars. Atmosphere inside the "Ashram" is very calm and healing, Few things missing like all audio visual panels to share info graphic information was in OFF state.
Suggestion: It would be better to install and utilize solar energy for Ashram.

We visited the Ashram while me and my friend were on our all India tour. The ashram is well maintained and has captured significant moments from the past that depict Gandhi's contribution and personality well. It's a good place to hang around too if you want some personal quite time.
There is ample parking available. Best to visit before 5PM since it closes by 6PM.
Definitely recommended ✅

This is a simple, beautiful and serene place, especially in the early morning and around dusk. There's a huge amount of history here and they have presented it in the museum in the form of many photos, letters, snippets and objects. Just taking a walk around the place and sitting for a few minutes on the riverfront or the lawns feels peaceful.

It's a serene experience. Beautiful river view. Museums. You will get to see different Spinning wheels from Gandhi's time.
People here consider him equivalent to god I guess since I saw few elderly women touching his feet ,folding hands Infront of his statute for blessing. Gandhi's house was there. If your are curious enough to visit. Spotted some foreigners too.
Anyway ,great couple spot. It's a big place without much disturbance. So can take your girlfriend and spend some time talking in the staircase ,looking at the Sabarmati river.
Overall experience is good inside the Ashram. But not outside it. You can't find a restaurant nearby. So have your breakfast,lunch before going.

Dakshinamoorthy Temple
EME Temple, Vadodara
Short for Electrical and Mechanical Corps, in honour of the people who built the temple, the EME Temples is a symbol of the secularity practised in the Indian Army, the EME Temple in Vadodara is an aluminium-clad abode, constructed at the intersection of ancient and modern.
Also known as the Dakshinamurthy temple, it primarily houses a massive idol of Lord Shiva, along with a miniature Lord Ganesha (specially brought in from Mahabalipuram). There is also a silver arch with the holy words "Om Namah Shivaya" engraved on it.
It is a popular opinion among archaeologists that this temple is unique regarding its design, concept and geodesic design covered with war scraps and aluminium sheets. The unique aspect is how the temple supports secularism by incorporating holy symbols from every religion in its structure. The Kalash on the top symbolises Hinduism. The Dome signifies Islam. The Tower represents Christianity. The Golden-structure above the tower expresses Buddhism. The Entrance stands for Jainism.
Built in classic geodesic architecture, the EME Temple is a perfect illustration of the values that are the foundation of the Indian Army. On the outside of the structure are carvings of holy symbols from various religions. Each substructure of the building is representative of a different faith –
The 'Kalash' on top of the dome symbolises Hinduism
The dome is found in the design of mosques, thus representing Islam
The tower is symbolic of Christianity
The golden cap above the tower represents Buddhism
The main gateway of the temple ropes in the Jain way
Rules to be followed when you visit EME Temple
1. Valid ID proof of at least one member of the group/family is needed for entry.
2. It may remain closed on Tuesday evenings so do check before going.
3. Mobile phones and cameras are not allowed.

EME Temple.
EME : Electrical Mechanical Engineering is a supporting arm of the Indian Army.
Photography is not permitted. So, we did not take any. Photos given here are with the permission and courtesy of my brother-in-law Col V V Naik of EME.
At the gate, we had to show our I card to gain entry. We showed our AF cards but any proof of id like Aadhar is sufficient to enter.
The temple is located in a calm quiet and serene spot on the campus amid a copse of large trees and a well-maintained garden. The atmosphere is quite soothing.
A dome of aluminium alloy and a rectangular tapering tower draws your attention. The design of the dome is called a geodesic structure.
As per the information boards displayed at the temple, the idea and concept as well as its construction were carried out under the guidance and supervision of an earlier Commandant of EME School, Brig AF Eugine who was a Christian. It was built solely by “Shramdan” (volunteer labour) by the officers and men of the EME school. No government funds were utilised.
Even though a south-facing idol of Lord Shiva is installed this Dakshnishewr Shiva temple is a symbol of secularism. This is reflected in its architecture and design.
The dome is Islamic in character, The Kasha on top of the dome represents Hinduism, the spire-like tapering rectangular tower represents Christianity, the small golden structure on top of this tower indicates Buddhism, the entrance reflects Jainism and lastly the fire in the temple depicts Zoroastrianism.
An added attraction is the large number of beautifully engraved ancient and historical statues obtained by the engineers in aid of diggings of the Archaeological department, which have artfully been displayed in the temple premise.
Besides other, some minor temples the Amarnath Shiva installed in an artificially made cave-like structure grabs your attention. Here is a specially made and refrigerated glass case an ice shiv ling has been installed. Nicely executed idea to present an ice shiv ling akin to one at Amarnath.
Spent a delightful time going through smaller shrines, the Shiv Gufa, looking at all the beautiful 6 th and 7 th century statues of various gods, rishis and apsara’s.
Left with nice feeling.
12 photos sent by Vijay, all are given here.

EME Temple in Vadodara (Baroda) is renowned for its unique architecture and serene atmosphere. I appreciate its tranquility and distinctive design, resembling a pagoda. The temple holds significance for followers of the Indian Armed Forces due to its association with the EME (Electrical and Mechanical Engineering) Corps. Its also has Sai baba, Ganesh ji, Shri ram and Hanuman ji statues for worshipping. Quiet and a good place to visit with family.

Its a temple made out of some metal... The fascinating thing about the temple is that if you will stand in the middle of the temple you will get an echo of your voice.
There are many ancient statues kept in the premises of the temple.
Therr is also a cave kind of structure in which shivalinga has been placed.
At the entrance you will have a iconic view of the tank of the Indian army.

The magnificent stepwell at Adalaj is a beautiful example of the Solanki style of architecture and features intricate carvings portraying erotic scenes and traditional Gujarati folklore. The well is five stories deep and rests on 16 pillars, with corners marked by shrines. Visitors can enjoy a guided tour of the well or simply wander around its tranquil interior.
Great place to see heritage of architecture in Gujarat. Detailings are so amazing. Must visit site. It's deep into the ground, when you entering into the ground, you will start slowly unveiling the layers below the ground and it leads towards the main water body. Spectacular..!

The Adalaj Vav.
In Gujrati and Marwar regions a vav means a stepwell. In the northern Hindi-speaking regions, a stepwell is called a bowadi.
In the arid regions of Gujrat, Rajasthan and Marwar where the water table is low, wells have to be dug to a considerable depth. Hauling water by buckets tied to a rope was back-breaking labour for the ladies and gents alike. Therefore many communities collectively constructed vavs or step wells where one could descend right up to the water level for bathing, washing and filling up drinking water to be carried to their homes. In many cases, wealthy families with a philanthropic bend of mind constructed vavs for the public good. They were built in stone with pillars and walls etc carved with amazingly beautiful designs, motifs and statues of Gods and Goddesses. More often than not such vavs were made up of various stories with large floor spaces, rooms etc at every storey. Such vavs became a focal point for community gatherings, celebrations and religious functions. These vavs were architectural wonders and in due course became well known for their beauty.
Adalaj vav is one such vav and so generally referred to because it is located in the village of Adalaj. The real name of the vav, as per the inscription found engraved on a stone in the vav is ‘Rani Dudabai’ Vav. As per history/legend, Raja Veer Singh of the Vaghela dynasty started its construction in 1555. His kingdom was attacked by Mohammed Begda a Muslim ruler of the neighbouring state. In the battle, Raja Veer Singh was killed. The vav could not be completed. It is said that Queen Ruda bai, wife of Raja Veer Singh was very beautiful. Mohammed Begda fell in love with the queen and wanted to marry her. As per the legend, the queen agreed on the condition that Mohammed Begda completes the construction of Vav. He readily agreed and completed the construction in a quick time. It is said that Once the unfinished project of her husband was completed, rather than marry the Muslim ruler the queen reneged on her promise and committed suicide by jumping into the well.
Queen Ruda Bai Vav is a five-storey octagonal construction with the well itself is circular in shape. The beginning of the stairs is flanked by two “Chabutaras” or raised platforms. The faces of these chabutaras are made up of intricately and beautiful geometrical engravings of trees and plants etc.
Octagonal sides of each floor had engraved latticed stone screens as safety railings. Hundreds of pillars, niches on the floors etc all are beautifully engraved and look very beautiful.
One can spend hours admiring the beauty of the engravings/carvings and still come away wondering whether he has seen all that was to be seen.
We took lots of pictures, spent maybe an hour and a half and bid good buy to Adalaj/Queen Ruda Bai Vav.

Sajjangarh Monsoon Palace, also known as Monsoon Mahal, is a stunning white marble palace perched on a high hill in Udaipur. Built by Maharana Sajjan Singh of the Mewar Dynasty, this palace offers breathtaking panoramic views of Fatehsagar Lake and the surrounding countryside.
Well the sun was definitely having a moment that evening we visited.
It was our most beautiful Udaipur sunset. The drive up also offers scenic views of the valley but the turns are a little sharp.
There was a museum inside the fort, but you might as well skip it.
But a definitely worth a visit for the sunset & bird's eye views of the city & the lakes! ✨

Located on top of the hill giving a top class view of the Udaipur City. Nothing horror or spooky, disappointing for someone looking for that kind of adventure. Rain water harvesting tank is installed, the water is then passed within the wall to keep the palace cool. Nice Engineering! Entry ticket is around 100 per person but you also got to pay for the vehicle you are travelling in. Road from the gate to palace is curvaceous and not well maintained though scenic. Drive carefully, rented vehicles may grunt uphill. Palace itself is neat and clean. Drinking water only available at one place near the palace gate, more of them are required. Not differently able friendly.

Beautiful place in udaipur to watch the sunset as well as to get the panoramic view of the white city and magnificent aravali ranges.
The palace is around 3-4 km from the entry gate. Apart from entry tickets, there is an additional charge for carrying your private vehicle up to the palace. Taxi service is available from the gate on a payment basis. So it is a bit of an expensive attraction as compared to other prominent attractions of the city.

It's basically a scenic spot for viewing entire Udaipur from one single spot with superb Sunset view. Quite a few Langoors around so avoid carrying food in your hand or be a bit careful. There is a cafeteria as well but didn't try so can't say much about it. But as point was atop a hill, weather was pleasant in evening (even in March end summer). Entry fees is there with option of public transport to take you atop at additional charges. Entry is just next to zoo gate.

Palace is beautiful though not opulent, small eatery also there, not for a quick visit, stay for an hour or so and enjoy the sunset .. vehicle charges are more than the entry fee.. beware of monkeys, don’t feed them. Be sure to go upstairs, view is amazing, u can take pics without anyone in the background..
no smoking signs should be kept outdoors
If there is time also visit the wildlife sanctuary next to the palace. If u know the history , u ll fully appreciate the place

The majestic architecture and the historical significance of the palace added to the charm of the visit. The serene ambiance and the beautiful surroundings made it a perfect spot for sightseeing and capturing stunning photographs. Though the palace could benefit from some maintenance in certain areas, it didn't overshadow the overall positive experience.

The location is just fabulous there, one can easily enjoy the city view with majestic lakes, located just 20-30 mins motorcycle ride away from the city centre, it takes you to the top of a mountain (rather hill).Entry fee is 180 and parking charges accordingly.
Practical suggestion: Apart from Majestic views the fort has nothing to offer, below average maintenance and can be difficult for elderly people to climb up here.

આ beautiful place and must visit location at Udaipur. It's quite far from city center but worth visiting it. Advisable to reach before 6:00 PM in summer to view sunset from the top of it. One can visit by own car or by cab. If you self drive it's nice experience to drive on curvy road with many hair pin curves. One has to be good driver to drive on this road. But driving itself will be an amazing experience. There is a very small museum and vast terrace to view surroundings and get a feeling of top of the world.

It is a nice spot for sunset. The fort is not much of a place to visit but the view is great and you are able to see the whole of udaipur from up there. Best time to visit the fort would be in the evening for sunset. There is a spot midway while going to the fort which has a better view of the sunset.
The roads are pretty steep but well built and one can go to the top on any 2 wheeler or four wheeler. The place gets a bit crowded so plan accordingly

The palace is located on a hill. The ticket counter is at the start of the hill. You can trek up the hill / take a private vehicle/ use public transport from the entry. Best is to use 2 wheelers (you can rent for a day at rs.300) , as its ticket costs only rs. 60.
The view from the palace is beautiful. You get to see aravalli hills.
Most of the palace was closed and there was nothing much to see inside.

Amazing View and amazing ride there through the hilly paths. You can rent a bike or car whichever is your preference but the roads are well constructed but one should drive cautiously while climbing up and down 😁. The rental would cost around 500rs for bikes. It was more fun in the roads , up there greeted with great views and heritage. ❤️

Truly loved the palace, I visited the palace in early monsoon and fell in love with the place. The road to the palace and the view from the top is seriously amazing and worth going.
There was a soft drizzle of rain when I visited and it made everything look more beautiful ❤️
I tried banana cake and mixed fruit cake from the restaurant there and found it very delicious. It is costly compared to the market but the quality and flavour of the cake was worth it.

It is a simple palace built by king to see rain cloud early. It is situated on the top of mountain. If you have lots of time then you can visit this place otherwise you can skip it.
Abhishek Anand — Google review
The best time to visit is on a pleasant evening. The Palace is very meh, but the view from the hilltop is gorgeous. Fairly overpriced at ₹155 per adult. There's an extra cost for taking your vehicle and you can't go by foot in case you feel like trekking.

Nice place if you wish to chill and relax at the same time click great pictures.
People usually visit to see the sunset.
You can visit 2wheeler but the roads are good but the ghat makes it somewhat dangerous.
One can expect to spend 2-3 hours here.

Such a beautiful Palace to visit in monsoon!!! Views are next to the feeling of heaven 😍
There at the top you genuinely feel like you are in clouds!!
The way to sajjangarh is pretty more adventurous and beautiful 😍
The entry fees per head is 155/- + the vehicle charge !
And also only 2 persons are allowed on two wheeler 🙏🏻

Not worth the gross amount of money you spend to see the views. Rs 159 per head plus Rs 308 for your car. The only attraction is augmented reality projection with various animals projected along side your image on screen

We visited by the end of March and so may be the greenery was just a haze.
The view is amazing from any part of the palace.
However it's just that and the palace has literally nothing else

Very beautiful palace situated on top of a hill. City view from this palace is mesmerizing. There is nothing much to see inside the palace. It is called as Monsoon palace because, to watch the monsoon clouds. Ride through he jungle to visit the palace is refreshing. Must recommended in Udaipur.

First thing which you gonna experience is good mountains curves road. You can witness the same on my YouTube channel "lifeoftheriders". One of the best thing is sunset vibe. Wild life statue is good. Though the fort is very small. You will love the panaromic view around fort at a good height. Best time to visit this place is evening sunset time. Entry fees is around 50 rupees vehicle charge is separate. Overall good place to explore with friends and family.

The Monsoon Palace is a beautiful destination in Udaipur, offering stunning views of the city and the Aravalli mountain ranges. However, reaching the palace requires traveling a distance from the bottom of the hill. Unfortunately, some drivers can be reckless, making the journey adventurous and potentially dangerous for travelers. Despite this, the palace is definitely worth visiting. The cool winds within the palace add to its charm.
SUKRUTH PM — Google review
Since its located on a small hill, and its surrounded by forest , the view from the top is mesmerizing. Actual palace is pretty small and does not have many stuff to see apart from the scenic view. It has a small Cafe in the premises. There is a zoo downhill near main entrance, though it's nothing special and can be skipped if you are in a hurry. From entrance its about few kilometers uphill journey to reach the castle , though there are public transportation options, I would suggest that you bring your own vehicle.
Lake Pichola is a stunning artificial freshwater lake located in the heart of Udaipur, Rajasthan. Built in 1362, it is surrounded by hills, gardens, temples, and havelis. The lake features four islands including Arsi villa & Jag Niwas and serves as a tourist hotspot for its historical significance and scenic beauty. Visitors can enjoy boat rides on the lake and observe a variety of birds at the sanctuary. This picturesque destination offers an unforgettable experience for tourists exploring Rajasthan.
Wonderful and serene lake. It’s an artificial lake created to end the crisis of water during summer. Lakes in Udaipur are inter connected. Boat riding is must although the rate is little bit on the higher side. Upto 2 pm it’s Rs 500 for adults and 250 for children upto 12. After 2 pm, it’s 850 for adults and 450 for children. The motor boat ride is for one hour. At first they circle the lake for 15 mins, then they take you to Jag mandir and you can spend about half an hour there and come back with any boat showing your ticket from another ghat within Jag mandir. Your boat will not wait for you.

One of the things that you can do in Udapiur. I recommend to take buy tickets for a boat ride in advance and spend nice 2 hours on the lake and at the island in the middle of the lake. The ride is nice and this is one of the biggest attractions of the city.

True to its title, the City of Lakes - Udaipur is surrounded by a number of lakes mesmerising its visitors with its blue waters and scenic views. One such artificial lake that sits right in the middle of Udaipur city is Lake Pichola, built in the year of 1362 AD.
Named after the nearby village Picholi, Lake Pichola is one of the most famous tourist attractions in Udaipur. Flanked by islands, palaces, temples, mansions, ghats and restaurants, Lake Pichola offers something for everyone. The enchanting views of sunrise and sunset from the lake is something that should not be missed by anyone visiting the lake.
With dimensions of 3 miles in length, 2 miles in width and a depth of 30 feet, Lake Pichola has four main islands namely Jag Niwas, Jag Mandir, Mohan Mandir and Arsi Vilas.

Lake Pichola in Udaipur is a serene and picturesque destination. The lake's sparkling waters and surrounding hills create a mesmerizing setting. It is best experienced by taking a boat ride and admiring the beautiful palaces and havelis that line its shores, including the famous Lake Palace and Jag Mandir. The calm atmosphere and stunning views make it an ideal spot for relaxation and capturing memorable photographs. However, the lake can get crowded during peak tourist season, so it's advisable to visit early in the morning or during weekdays for a more peaceful experience. Lake Pichola is a must-visit for its natural beauty and its association with Udaipur's royal history.

Undoubtedly the most buzzing place in Udaipur. It is the lifeline and star of Udaipur tourism circuit. Lake Pichola is a serene and picturesque.

Pichola lake is the main attraction of Udaipur city.
The Lake Pichola is an artificial lake located in the heart of Udaipur, Rajasthan.
The oldest and one of the largest lakes of the city.
Backgrounded with green hills, heritage buildings and bathing ghats, its a beautiful attraction for all nature lovers. A visit to the Lake Pichola is incomplete without a boat ride, especially in the evening.
During evenings, it seems the entire place has been dipped in gold as you can see the heritage buildings and the pristine water turning golden with the sun's reflection. The amazing views will take you to a different world.
Have a great time in Udaipur.. Good luck..

Lake pichola is one of the must-visit destinations for tourists, as it really justifies Udiapur as the lake city. This lake offers beautiful sunrises and sunsets, and the Taj Lake Palace, which is present at the centre of the lake, gives even more scenic views.
Boating at these places is really recommended in the evening, as you can enjoy the sunset while boating. The cost of boating is around 200-450 rupees per person, depending on the boat you choose. I would recommend visiting this place during the weekdays as it is very crowded on the weekends.
Sharan Sajjan — Google review
Amazing views and memorable experience. The boat ride and ropeway ride are just good to enjoy. There are many activities on top after reaching the top with ropeway. Like aquarium visit, virtual games, restaurants, massage therapy, fish foot spa, fire pan, chat cone etc.
There is also a photo service with Traditional costume. There is Karnimata temple and a Dargah up there. The view from the cable car cabin is quite nice. Ride is for 4 to 5 minutes. As only 3 cabins move up and down there may be a waiting time for 30 minutes on rush days.
Boat ride takes you to Jagmandir.
We felt these were a must feel experience when in Udaipur. We visited the place just a day before a bollywood actresses wedding but there was no problem at all.

Pichola, Udaipur, Rajasthan 313001
I'll never travel to Mathura without this trip planner again
City Palace in Udaipur, Rajasthan is a sprawling complex that houses the palaces of 11 different rulers. Situated on the banks of Lake Pichola, it is a significant example of Rajasthani architecture. Built by Maharana Uday Singh in 1559, this majestic palace boasts a blend of medieval European and Chinese architectural styles with its various towers, domes, and arches.
A beautiful and majestic place! Very well maintained. It takes around 3 to 3:30 hrs to cover it. You need to buy ticket 300rs per person before entering the palace. It's a nice place for clicking some good pictures. There is also a small museum inside showcasing beautiful paintings, silver ware, different types of clothings used by the royal family. The beautiful interior of the palace makes it more elegant.

I recently visited the City Palace in Udaipur and was blown away by the beauty and history of this magnificent building. At more than 100 years old, the palace stood as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the area. The beautiful lake that sits beside it only added to the overall enchantment. The interior of the palace was just as amazing as the exterior, with intricate details and stunning architecture at every turn. I highly recommend a visit to the City Palace to anyone interested in history, art, and culture. Five stars for the magnificent beauty and rich history of this palace!

During my visit to City Place in 2023, I had a wonderful experience. The ticket price for non-NRI visitors above a certain age was 300. It was definitely worth the price considering the incredible attractions and activities available. You can easily spend four to five hours exploring everything this place has to offer.
One of the highlights of City Place is its extensive range of museums. From art to history, there is something to cater to every interest. I was particularly impressed by the variety and depth of exhibits. Each museum provides a unique and enriching experience, allowing visitors to delve into different aspects of culture and knowledge.
Moreover, City Place offers picturesque spots that are perfect for capturing memorable photos. Whether you're a photography enthusiast or simply want to document your visit, you'll find countless opportunities to snap stunning pictures. The architecture, landscapes, and overall ambiance create a visually captivating setting that you'll absolutely love.
What sets City Place apart is its ability to cater to diverse interests and age groups. Whether you're a history buff, an art lover, or simply seeking a place to spend quality time with friends and family, you'll find plenty to do and enjoy here.
In conclusion, my visit to City Place left me impressed and satisfied. The ticket price was reasonable considering the enriching experiences available. I highly recommend visiting this place if you're looking for a memorable day out filled with exploration, photo opportunities, and cultural immersion.

The city palace is the most widely known and markedly the most beautiful and royal landmark of Udaipur. Still in use by the present ruler as his residency.
The general entry ticket for the area is Rs 30. To enter the palace is it was Rs 300. There are light and sound shows at additional cost. Not recommended at all.
You can spend extra to visit the museum section, if you like historic artifacts. It was definitely worth the price considering the incredible historic collection.
The architecture, landscapes, and overall ambiance makes the place extremely photogenic.

The best palace I have ever visited.
The cleanliness and maintenance is the best part. It's really as huge as it looks in the image. So have your stamina full. The museum and art gallery is impressive as it's developed and managed by the Ministry of Culture, Government of India. Must visit if you're going to Udaipur.
Entry ticket fees are 30 ₹
To visit the palace museum you have to pay,
400 ₹for adults
150 ₹for students (they'll verify your I'd card prior)

The Palace is very beautiful and gorgeous in most aspects. This was my first visit to Udaipur and visiting the City Palace grounds was one of my favorite moments spent here. The history this place speaks, the walls and the very ground, the pillars which has stood the test of time for centuries truly gives you some perspective towards time and life. You can spent some time and energy exploring what's within these walls and narrow passages and corridors or spend time sitting and relaxing in the garden when the sun goes down. Worth the visit, of course. Do not miss out on the surrounding places.

A majestic palace, but was way too crowded especially in these pandemic times. 5 stars for the palace, deducting 1 star for lack in properly handling the crowd and enforcing covid prevention norms.
The views of the city and lake from the palace are great. The palace is maintained really well and it would have been a treat to just sit and take this place in but we had to move along in queues as there were way too many people.
Go here in off-season in evening and just take the mesmerizing views in.

A grandeur architectural marvel providing glimpse into the erstwhile royalty of this region. Ticket cost - Rs, 330 which gives you access to entire palace complex including is interiors and the museum.
Palace is well managed, clean, efficient staff, helpful signages and needs a good 2-3 hours for soaking in the entirety of this majestic Marvel with mesmerizing interiors full of colours.
Guide services are available and they usually ask 500-600 per group/family for explaining the history of royalty associated with this palace.
There's a cafe with few options run by HRH group of hotels.
Drinking water and toilet facilities are also available.
Best time to enjoy this place would be on a weekday in off peak season.

City palace is one of the most prime tourist spots to visit. It has a lot to offer about the cultural heritage and history of Rajasthan. It is a wide-spreader property which will take around 2 hours to cover, but its worth the time.
-> I would recommend you to book a guide (negotiate if possible - there are lot of tour guides available around) because the guides have lots of stories and information related to the history of the palace and the events that took place around to share with you.
-> Avoid visiting during mid-noon as it becomes really hot to explore the place. So, prefer to visit during early day time or during the evening.

This palace is as beautiful as it is huge. Inside, one finds a big collection of rajputana artifacts, weaponry and cultural items of the time inside the museum. The way to the palace is quite congested so one should be prepared to be stuck in traffic for a while but upon entering, the beauty of the palace makes one forget all issues and appreciate the architecture.

History surrounds you as you walk along the lake as the castle looms over you. Beautifully maintained as a hundreds of years old Palace can be.

Another man made marvel. It's huge, beautiful and well maintained. It shows the vast history of Rajasthan. There is a museum, lake, boating and food complex around the City Palace. Ticket prices for museum around 450 per person for adults. There are special concessions for students and elders. Boat ride tickets are around 800 per person. Make sure you have at least 2-3 hours if you want to visit museum as its very informative and big and it will take time to cover everything.

Bagore Ki Haveli is an ornate 18th-century palace located near Gangaur Ghat on the banks of Lake Pichola in Udaipur. This historic building, constructed between 1751 and 1778, boasts over 100 rooms showcasing traditional costumes, puppets, antique items such as jewelry boxes and copper utensils, as well as modern art. The interior features intricate mirror and glass work that adds to its allure.
We visited this place for the puppet and traditional dance show, we were NOT disappointed. Ours was the first show (apparently there are more in a day - as when we were coming out, there were huge crowds waiting outside). In our show too, the seating area was completely packed and almost one third of the crowd were foreigners equally enjoying themselves.

One of the famous places to visit in Udaipur, Bagore Ki Haveli is a haveli that stands magnificently on the waterfront of Pichola lake. It’s spectacular ! Just visit once here and indulge yourself into Core Rajasthan! So much too see and know about the culture through displayed collection, especially collection of royal sage and Insignia is really fascinating. The place was really clean and hygiene was maintained. Nominal entry fee was charged for this museum also the person at desk was very generous and gave a lot of information about the place. The dance form are very beautiful !

Plan to be there and understand the rich treasure of our folk dance and lyrics. The program is a nice blend of various folk songs and dances of Rajasthan. There's a short introduction given in Hindi and English for each folk dance. Enjoy the dance in the beautiful backdrop of the haveli. Don't skip this place.

At first Don’t miss the Cultural Programme by DHAROHAR hosted by Mr & Mrs Dixit and Hosted by Yashu Dixit at 7-8PM daily. It’s totally worth watching and ticket price is just ₹100. I also read the reviews about this show and went to watch this show and believe me it was totally amazing and more than Paisa Wasool show.
This Haveli is almost same like other old architecture in Rajasthan obviously with different different history. And same old things.
Just as it is maintained by government so not that well maintained but okay.
Things were same as you have seen in other museums.

Came to see their traditional dance show, the courtyard of the museum was nicely decorated. It is better to come earlier as the place gets crowded very quickly. The performance itself was ok although they could've done a better show (it looked more like a volunteer school performance rather than a professional dance show). The tickets were pretty inexpensive (when bought directly at the museum) so overall, quite a good value for money.

What an amazing experience I have got from here. Their show starts from 7:00 PM in the evening. The tickets are available from 5:30 PM. I would say, you should definitely include this place in your itinerary for visit to Udaipur. It includes different kinds of traditional and cultural dance shows of rajasthan along with puppet shows. Watch out for the last dance, its somewhat of a surprise.

This is place is so good and specially if you want to know about Rajasthan's folk music and dance. It was the highlight of our udaipur trip and one of the best things I had ever seen. The kaal beliya dance that I had seen was so magical. The girl dancing on it was so elegant, graceful and so beautiful that she won all of our hearts. Her moves, eyes, smile everything was perfect and she really is a baap girl. And I forgot to shoot her video because I was so much fascinated by her performance. Anyone going to visit udaipur should really see the night show at bagore ki haveli.

This is one among the most fascinating places in udaipur for tourists. This is a museum located near the pichola lake old city. This museum highlights the rich heritage culture of Rajasthan. Evenings there will be magnificent dance music and puppet shows from 7 PM to 8 PM which will give a brief glimpse of traditional rajasthan culture. This is definitely a must visit place especially for tourists. The cost is Rs 100 per person for evening show but it is really worth it

Evening dance show is the prime attraction here. Since it gives you a real feel of Rajasthan & it’s diverse culture & tradition, I suggest not to miss it. However, there are a lot of loopholes as well, let’s discuss here below:
1. Only offline way to collect tickets, which will be distributed from the counter sharp 5:30pm. However, you have be in the queue almost 30 mins before to ensure you are able to make it else you will get next show tickets.
2. Since the show begins at 7, you have to be in the another queue that lets you enter in at 6:30pm. Hence, manage your timings well and keep something to eat especially if with kids.
3. I noticed, a family bought tickets with us for next show that starts at 8 pm but they were allowed to sit in an early show of 7pm. Corruption in India is so common.
4. You should reach early to get the proper seats, else you will end up watching just glimpses of the entire show as the seating is spread all over the terrace however, there are pillars, trees to block your view.
+ves:
1. Well trained dancers & musicians. Totally worth watching
2. Ticket price of 100/- is a nominal charge for the show displayed
3. Show starts sharp as per mentioned timings and there are no delays.
I recommend.

If you want to see the haveli and the museum only there will not be that long waiting time but if you want to see the cultural presentation show then you need to wait for an hour to get the ticket. Two shows they do in a day. But from 5pm you have to stand in queue to book the tickets. They present three to four kinds of dances from different districts of Rajasthan that includes the national heritage one, "Kalbeliyaa dance". Overall it's a good representation.

Nice place to visit near Gangour Ghat, though, in this area, 4 wheelers are not allowed, hence to visit it, only auto/2 wheeler is option. Inside it, there are different things displayed, and also a mansion type balcony, where you can view the lake.

You must visit this place if you're in Udaipur. The evening program showcasing the various performance arts of the state is absolutely mesmerizing. Each artist performing here is incredible and creates a magical atmosphere.
When you're in the area, take in the serenity of Ghangour Ghat and stay on to watch the fantastic evening show here.

A Glimpse into History at Bagore Ki Haveli
Bagore Ki Haveli offers a riveting journey into the rich tapestry of ancient history, boasting a picturesque view and a hospitable staff. The ample parking space ensures a hassle-free experience for visitors. However, there is room for improvement as the maintenance and cleanliness could be enhanced, and the ticket pricing for the cultural performances and haveli entry might exceed one's expectations.
While exploring, it is advisable to opt for alternative modes of transportation due to limited space for four-wheelers. Additionally, a visit to the local market at Gangour Ghat is recommended, although haggling might be necessary. Overall, addressing these concerns before the next visit would significantly enhance the overall experience for patrons.

This is a place near Gangaur ghat, where folk dance and music is arranged daily in the evening. It is an old Haveli converted into the cultural center. The folk music and dances performed are very good and give you a glimpse of traditions. The tickets are limited, so you have to buy it at around 5.30 pm for 7.00 pm timing. But, after buying tickets, you can spend your time at nearby Gangaur ghat, which is also a beautiful place.

This haveli event is a must visit to see the cultural dance and music show they have in the evenings.
They have parking available, however, on the peak days it might be full.
They show many cultural types of dance and the videos are attached.
They have food items available outside so you can enjoy that.
You have to wait for 8-9 show if the show for 7-8 is booked.
For the show, come 15-20 minutes before the start time to be early in the line and have better seat to enjoy the show.
They have enough seating available for you to enjoy.
Visit this place and enjoy the culture.

One will take a minimum of 45 minutes to explore this Haveli. The remains are preserved well.

A well maintained garden from centuries back. Good place to relax. You can cover it in less than half an hour if you're in a hurry.
PS: the magical fountain that is said to be switching on and off by clapping is actually a marketing trick. As a guide explains this to the visitors, an employee there (visible in one of the videos) waits for them to clap so that he can push and pull a controlling lever!

An excellent park built centuries ago, this was for the exclusive use of Royal family women. With great foresight & compassion, the Mewad rules built this oasis for royal women & their friends to escape the arid weather of the region.

Dhebar Lake, also known as Jaisamand Lake, is a man-made lake located in Udaipur, India. The lake was built during the 17th century by constructing a dam and has since become an official Heritage Monument of India. It is one of the largest artificial lakes in the world and is situated amidst the Great Indian Thar Desert.
I had put this place on my Udaipur Itinerary and I am glad I did so. Was easily the most fun I had on the trip. Booked an entire boat for an hour all to myself. Mr. Shiv Puri, the boat operator was friendly and helpful. Explore the place for a whole day if you like! The lake is huge and there are historical monuments nearby. The sights of the small islands on the water are beautiful and you can even make stops.

This beautiful man made lake is the 2nd largest in Asia. Which provides drinking water to Udaipur though being about 50 kms from the city . Has been built between 1711-1730 by the ruler of the famous Mewar royal family, roughly 387 years ago.
Also, I took this shot from a place which is popular by the name Roothi Rani ka Mahal initially know as “Hawa Mahal”.

Surrounded by lush green mountains, white marble temples and ethereal palaces reflected in its sparkling blue waters, the Jaisamand Lake is a spectacular vision. Around 50 km from Udaipur, Jaisamand is the second largest artificial lake in Asia. Built by Maharaja Jai Singh in 1685, the lake covers an area of 36 sq km with a length of 14 km and width of 9 km. The lake has a depth of about 102 feet!
Also known as Dhebar, the lake was constructed, while the king was building a dam on the Gomti river. The dam on the lake is massive in size: 1,202 ft in length, 116 ft in height and width of 70 ft at the bottom. At the centre of the lake is a temple dedicated to Lord Shiva. And on its shore is a spectacular summer palace that was once the retreat of the Udaipur royal family's women. The lake also has six marble cenotaphs on its embankment. There are seven islands in the lake and the largest of these is Babaka Bhagra.
With beautiful marble steps that gently descend into the water, the lake-side is perfect to sit and watch the rippling waters. There are boat rides available and a sanctuary nearby (Jaisamand Sanctuary), which was the hunting grounds of the the Mewar royal family, and today is home to various types of birds and animals like panthers, leopards, deer and wild boars

The Trinetra Ganesh Temple is situated inside a fortress that is centuries-old, and it is notable for housing the complete family of Lord Ganesha.

To fully appreciate the enchanting stories behind both the fort and temples on premise, it's advisable to hire a guide.
This temples is in the premise of a beautiful fort dating back to 9th century. The approach road is through the forest reserve road; the views along the way and from the fort are breathtaking. Do take a guide along to know all the enchanting stories of the fort and temples on premise.

Trinetra Ganesha Temple is a unique temple as pointed by other reviewers. Another interesting fact is that the people in the region also send the first wedding invitation to Ganesh ji in this temple.
How to reach: it is situated atop Ranthambore fort at a distance of around 6-7 km from the main town. The entry point is through the national park and then there is approximately 15 minutes of drive. The narrow road is made of stones so the ride is going to bumpy and you have to be very careful while going up. After the ride, you'll have to hike for another 15 minutes to reach the temple. There is a parking lot at the base of the fort.
A local committee charges 20 rupees for vehicles.
Hike and the fort: 15 minutes of easy hike majority of which includes the walk on the stairs. There are many temple inside the fort including Annapurna temple, Kalika ma temple, Sita Ram temple and a Jain temple. You get beautiful view of the forest and the lake from the fort.
Timings: I visited the temple on 3rd October 2022 at around 1PM and it was scorching hot. So I would recommend people going there in the morning, the temple remains open from 06:00 Am to 04:00 PM.
Trinetra Ganesha Temple: the temple was divine and the murtis of Ganesha ji and family were marvellous. There are a few shops near the temple and you can buy water, sweets and snacks. However, the temple administration should focus on maintaining the cleanliness.

Visited Ganesh ji temple in June 2023. To visit this temple you will need to go from Ranthambore fort. It requires at least two hours to visit with family. You will find many photo shoot locations while visiting this temple. Ganesh ji is seated in this temple with Devi ridhi and Sidhi and his sons. Avoid going to this temple on Wednesday and Ganesh chaturthi as these days there is a huge rush. You can also visit nearby Kalika temple, Shri laxminarayan temple etc. I would surely recommend this place while visiting ranthambore. Photography and videography is strictly prohibited 🚫 inside temple.

A Divine Trek with Majestic Views. I recently had the privilege of visiting the Lord Ganesh Temple nestled atop an ancient fort, and the experience was nothing short of awe-inspiring. The journey to the temple begins with a trek up to the summit, a path that not only tests your physical endurance but also rewards you with nature's beauty at every step.
The Lord Ganesh Temple atop the ancient fort is a hidden gem that marries spirituality with nature's splendor. The invigorating trek to the summit rewards you with both a sense of devotion and breathtaking vistas of the encompassing mountains. A truly divine experience amidst nature's embrace.

There are many steps to the temple along the fort, so though the journey is scenic, it can be challenging for elderly. Also, you can get a guide as there are many of them offering their services.
The place is surrounded by beautiful scenery overlooking the Ranthambore tiger reserve and mountains and valleys.
The temple is simple and modest. You'll find ample of small shops, cafes and sellers of offerings and garlands as is the norm outside all Indian temples.
Beware of the monkeys though as they can be pretty aggressive at times

Ganesh temple was good. You gotta climb a few fort stairs to reach there. The disappointing thing was that people have littered there a lot and scribbled the historic walls.

Trinetra Ganesh Temple in Ranthambore fort is a remarkable place that holds a fascinating history. This temple, which is approximately 724 years old, houses a unique Ganesha statue that isn't man-made but a natural creation that emerged from the rock itself. The sight of this ancient statue is awe-inspiring and instills a sense of divine connection.
Legend has it that Lord Ganesha revealed himself to a sage who meditated at this very spot, thus giving birth to the Trinetra Ganesh Temple. Over the centuries, the temple has become a sacred destination for devotees seeking blessings and fulfilling their heartfelt wishes.
However, visitors are advised not to trek during peak hours of the daytime, especially in summer, due to scorching temperatures. It's essential to stay hydrated and take necessary precautions to avoid any health issues during the journey. Make sure to reach temple before 4 pm as there is no entry after 4pm.
When planning your visit, make sure to carry enough cash, as the temple's location might result in no network coverage, and online transactions are not possible once you reach the temple premises.
In conclusion, Trinetra Ganesh Temple in Ranthambore is a place of spiritual significance with a mesmerizing natural Ganesha statue that leaves a lasting impression on its visitors. Devotees are sure to find solace and fulfillment in their prayers if offered with a pure heart and sincerity. A visit to this sacred site is a unique and spiritually enriching experience, but proper planning and timing are essential to make the most of the journey.

The Ranthambore National Park, located in the Sawai Madhopur district, is a well-known destination for wildlife enthusiasts who want to observe tigers in their natural habitat. Once a royal game reserve of Maharaja, this scenic park also houses various ruins. The best time and areas to spot these majestic animals are Sector 4 & 5 during evening safari. The forest provides an excellent safari experience with knowledgeable guides and drivers who have expertise in locating tigers.
That's great to see the tiger in the sector 4 & 5 at the evening time. Nice forest to have safari with a great safari experience. Driver and guide both were too good with lot of experience about the tiger spotting.
and book the tickets directly from the govt site and 3rd party brokers charge around 1500 and you and directly book tickets from govt site at around 720 per person!! popular zones are 2,4 and 5.

Try going for a jeep safari as that is a much better experience. The drivers and guides are really good and try their best for a sighting.

Though it's recommended to visit any zone from 1 to 5 but preferably go to zone 2 as it has many watering holes thus there are higher chances of finding a tiger. We found six tigers on day 1 and three tigers in day 2 both in zone 2. The tigers are majestic creatures and the national animal of India. I advise you to please maintain the decorum in the reserve and don't scare the animals. You can go to the reserve via gypsy or canter. It is beneficial if you ride a canter. Rest assured you will love the experience. Enjoy the nature retreat.

Beautiful forest but we were unlucky to spot a tiger during our visit in zone 3 and 5. But one must be patient enough as we are not visiting zoo. Will definitely revisit during summers and wish to be lucky at that time.

One of the best places in the world to see the Tigers. Excellent protection of Tigers through the support of Government of Rajasthan/Rajasthan Forest Department. Visibility of Tigers is in all the Zones and best time to see them is during the summer time April-June around water points. The park is closed during monsoon times July-September.

Fantastic jungle experience . We stayed in a tent house which was very close to the ranthambore tiger resort . Hotel manager booked the tour for us . safari can be booked online by paying required fees which are inclusive of canter or jeep fee/guide fee . Jeep has six seats while canter has twenty seats . Safari services are available in only two shifts, the afternoon and the morning shifts. Each turn is three and a half hours long. reserve stays closed mainly because during the monsoons, no visitors are allowed. best months for the visitors are November-April.

I had an incredible experience on the Ranthambore Safari! The natural beauty and wildlife in Ranthambore National Park are truly breathtaking. Our safari guide was knowledgeable and passionate, enhancing our understanding of the park's diverse ecosystem. We were fortunate to spot a variety of wildlife, including tigers, leopards, and numerous bird species. The thrill of seeing these animals in their natural habitat is something I'll never forget. The park's conservation efforts are commendable, and I hope future generations can also enjoy the wonders of Ranthambore. Overall, it was an unforgettable adventure that I highly recommend to anyone with a love for nature and wildlife.

Just fantastic. Went on 5 safaris. Had tiger / leopard sightings in 3. Must visit. Seeing a tiger in its habitat is reaffirming your faith in God and His creations. Just beautiful

Please know before you go that there is no guarantee you will see tigers! They say that you should book multiple tours to increase your chances. With that said, I was lucky when I went that we saw two tigers during their mating session. Otherwise I probably would not have rated it 4 stars. Other than the two tigers, there really wasn’t too much other wildlife in the park. It was actually quite barren.

Viewing the dangerous wild tigers at a short distance in their natural wild environment during jungle safari is indeed an unforgettable wildlife experience of whole life! And Ranthambore National Park Tiger Safari in Rajasthan, INDIA makes this dream possible. We took the safari on Jan 3rd morning and experienced tiger encounter for almost an hour in Zone 3. The tiger followed one of our safari too. The experience was unforgettable and great family time spent together. We were 15 of us with three Safari's. Our safari guides were all amazing and it depends a lot on them for the tiger sightings. They follow the calls of other animals to spot the tigers. Apart from the tigers we spotted a lot of other varieties of animals and birds as well.

A huge forest area which shelters a large number of flora and fauna including tigers, peacocks, deers, boars and many more birds and animals.
You should definitely go for a safari and you might see a tiger if you're lucky but you'll definitely see all the other animals and birds in their natural habitat.
Regarding the booking, you can book online or offline at the ticket counter (there are different prices for different "types of sources" so make sure you do your research).

5 stars for me since I saw a tiger and leopard both but from what I have heard it very rare to spot either of them. But overall experience apart from this was also nice. Very tourist friendly place. Good 8 hour drive from Delhi if you are driving yourself. You’ll get nice hotel in very affordable price. Apart from this a must visit place is Ganesh Ji’s temple .

I had an unforgettable experience at Ranthambore National Park in Savai Madhopur! The reserve's natural beauty and abundant wildlife were truly captivating. What made it even more special was our incredible luck of spotting a young tiger couple just within the first 10 minutes of our journey in Zone 10. Witnessing these majestic creatures in their natural habitat was a surreal and heartwarming sight. The reserve's well-organized safaris and knowledgeable guides added to the overall enjoyment of the trip. Thanks to Ranthambore Safari booking as well for the Canter trip.If you're a wildlife enthusiast seeking a thrilling adventure, Ranthambore National Park is an absolute must-visit destination!

The best time to visit for tiger sighting is before monsoon as most zones are closed after, make sure to book in advance, and wear neutral colors on safari. Better experience with gypsy than canter. There are two check points, no one is allowed to get out of the car in the jungle. Even if you don't see tigers go for the scenery!!
Moon Child — Google review
First of all, Tiger is the main Attraction here and you have to be clear that seeing a Tiger is purely just LUCK !
Advance booking is highly recommended as the offline booking counters are not efficient and systematic
The reserve forest is of 10 different zones and have two shifts for safari rides
Either it's a canter or gypsy, seeing tiger is not guaranteed. You will be provided with a guide and driver
But still you can explore the other animals like deers, peacock, snake and experience the ride through the woods
Don't keep your expectations high for the tiger

Go with family and friends and enjoy the jungle time. Nice hotels there to stay. I am unable to recall my resort but I will check and update it later. Avoid going in luxury car as most of the terrain is rough. My resort is recommended as food was awesome, it had pool and not far from places.
Go for safari and in the same day see the museum as well as pick up is near museum. Book well in advance and ask your hotel to book. It was about 110-1300 per person. Take water bottle and some snacks along.
Go and enjoy. Don't go in peak summer or rainy season. You will be in open vehicle for 1-3 hours so wear your shades and sunscreen as well 😁👍🏼.

Stunning national park with beautiful views at sunrise. Mixture of grassland, woodland and desert rock. Visited three times for a "tiger safari" which mainly consisted of deer and monkeys. Love that 80% of the park is not visited by humans and hopefully this means that the tigers in the area are well protected. They remained elusive throughout this trip although signs of then were seen and heard. Lovely experience but my advice would be don't expect to see any tigers!
Ian Dunn — Google review
Incredible place, beautiful wildlife and environment. The drivers and guides were helpful at times and tried hard to help find tigers. Something to keep in mind is that sightings are rare and lucky, we did 7 safaris and were fortunate to see 1 tiger. Would highly recommend it!

One of the best Tiger Reserves in India is located here, it’s a 1700square km forested area. I was told only 20% of the area is open for public to do safaris. All in there are 10 different gates for safari. One can choose which gates the one to go. Chances of seeing the Majestic Bengal Tiger is quite high here, again depending on your luck and other factors.
There are two types of vehicles going into the park for Safari the canter and 4WD jeeps.
Breathtaking scenery awaits you with many wildlife to be seen very close to the tracks.
This place will give you a great unforgettable safari experience.
Most guides are well experienced and will give you great insight about the park and the tigers u see.
About 80 Bengal Tigers roam this forest.

This National Park serves as a sanctuary for various species of fauna and flora. It's notable for Tigers of which there are 80+ in the park at the time of this review. It's also a rare grey forest area where visibility is easily 1-2km this making it the most ideal National Park to sight tigers among other animals. Definitely worth visiting and enjoying the safari. Safaris are by zones and you may or may not be lucky to sight a tiger in your zone. Nonetheless the safari experience itself is worth it. Note though that the best time to visit is in the summer (June-July). If you do the winter safari make sure to layer up as the wind chill effect really brings the cold in.

Had two great safari drives in Ranthambore. On the first we saw Samba Deer, Crocodiles and a Jungle Cat.
On the second drive, we had seen the above again but little else. In the last 30 minutes, we saw a leopard, sloth bear and then the Royal Bengal Tiger. Completely excited truck full of happy people.
Only minor negatives being lack of commentary from safari guide and definite language barrier
Overall, Was an amazing day in a beautiful setting
Matt W — Google review
Never been on a tiger reserve safari ride before, the park was nice as it’s a natural setting with a lake inside but didn’t have the “wow” scenic factor. We were the only group that spotted the tiger nicknamed “Challenger”, he was a beauty! There were peacocks, deers, monkeys, bats, alligators and other small animals. However an unexpected highlight of the day was a flock of super friendly birds flying around us. Btw.. there is public toilets inside the park in case “nature calls”..
EH — Google review
We did four Safaris but were lucky to see the big cat in Zone 2 only. But it was as thrilling as it can get. Also saw leopard in same zone. Prefer zone 1 to 5 for better chances. Avoid zone 7, 8 and 9 as Tiger spotting here is much less. Our guide told is that chances of spotting the Tiger in summer, May & June, are much brighter as the animals come to water holes.
Avoid booking through unscrupulous agents.
Elefantastic is a sanctuary for Asian elephants in Jaipur, India that offers visitors the opportunity to interact with these majestic animals through activities such as feeding, walking and washing them. Unlike other places, people here are not allowed to ride the elephants. The workers at Elefantastic treat the elephants well and provide visitors with valuable information about the sanctuary and its inhabitants. This unique experience of being close to an elephant is a must-do for any animal lover visiting Jaipur.
Let me state that I am an animal lover/activist and very aware of animal exploitation.
While visiting India I witnessed many working elephants/animals in general in the street which broke my heart. It’s easy to get angry and not want to support the industry. I completely agree with that, but do realize the elephant in India is tradition and I respect that this is their way of life. I researched elephant sanctuaries in Jaipur and also researched elephant experiences out of curiosity. Elephantastic was the most humane one I found. I booked the experience last minute on a Sunday for a Monday. They were very accommodating. I read the bad reviews where people said the phone calls were rude, but I don’t think they understand the Indian culture of being short and to the point, also English is the second language for the owners, so cut them some slack.
I found it confusing to book as they don’t have a direct link on their website to purchase the experience. You must first email them to then have them reply and set up the encounter.
Our experience was 10,200 rupees which was worth EVERY PENNY. If you love animals, this is for you. You are as up close and personal as you want to be. It started with a pickup at our hotel by an amazing driver who was friendly and English speaking. He gave us a tour of the city on our way to the sanctuary.
When we got there, it didn’t look like much but our minds were quickly changed. We had a quick safety talk with the owner and then we were introduced to the elephants. They were a great weight, appear healthy, and happy. We fed them bananas to gain their trust then spent a ton of time petting, loving on her, and speaking with her personal keeper, asking any questions we had. The employees were all friendly and answered all of my inquiries. We continued to take photos while feeding her.
We then gave her a shower which she absolutely loved. The kids in the group next to us painted their elephant (nontoxic) but we passed. We then bathed her where you could see she loved it. From there we walked her (you have to walk through elephant village which is sad because other companies chain their elephants) but once you get to the trail it’s nice and you can see the elephant watering hole. If you’re lucky you can see an elephant happy and bathing. When we got back we were taxi’d to the owners moms house for the most incredible vegetarian food. Easily the best I’ve had while traveling india. The driver then took us back to the hotel. He was sweet and remembered the places we had told him about wanting to check out while making small talk that morning… he brought us to a beautiful textile store and a blue pottery store and also recommended a place for dinner.
Overall, I recommend Elephantastic because they are keeping the Indian tradition alive while offering an alternative to tourists who want to interact with ele’s. They are the most humane option and I choose to support that. I have told my friends about it and will come back the next time I am in Jaipur.

An amazing afternoon with friendly staff and even friendlier elephants! Able to spend several hours interacting with the elephants, feeding them, taking photos and painting them.
Despite the 30-odd degree heat, the area was well covered and shaded, and washing down the elephants (and them washing you!) certainly helped.
After this, we were welcomed into the family home for some lovely homemade food.
Overall, it was an incredible experience with a family who care just as well for their guests as they do their friendly elephants. Thank you to all of the team and family for an unforgettable day!

My friends and I tried very hard to find an ethical elephant sanctuary and it seems these guys do care. We had a lovely day with Pinky the elephant, taking her on a walk and washing her.
It did feel a bit weird when they ask you to sit down then and there and write a TripAdvisor review for them, but hey ho.

Note: The actual location is in "Haathi Gaon".
This place is a must visit for any animal/elephant lover. It's one of the most unique experiences ever. You're assigned an elephant and are allowed to bond with it for 2hrs by feeding, washing, and taking a walk with them. As an animal lover who doesn't like riding them, it was a welcome sight to see a majestic creature given due respect and love it deserves.
Visiting this place is not just pure fun but it's also great for the elephants themselves as they get human contact as well as the fees go towards their food and well being.

I had the privilege of visiting Elefantastic in Jaipur, and I can confidently say it was an unforgettable experience. My day was spent with Chaku, a sweet 13-year-old female elephant, and it was love at first sight.
We began with an introduction, where I was immediately impressed by Chaku's gentle nature and friendly demeanor. It was amazing to be able to feed her delicious bananas and juicy leaves. Her affection and gratitude were palpable, making the interaction even more special.
One of the highlights of my visit was painting with natural colors on Chaku. Not only was it fun and creative, but it was also heartwarming to see how much she enjoyed it as we worked. It was clear that she relished being the center of attention and adorning herself with colorful patterns.
The Elefantastic team deserves all the praise for their dedication and care. They took excellent care of not only Chaku but also me and the other visitors. They provided us with refreshing drinks, delicious food, and facilities for showering and changing. I truly felt pampered and looked after throughout my entire stay.
What touched me the most was the loving approach towards the elephants. Elefantastic clearly goes above and beyond mere tourist attractions. They create an environment where the elephants are treated with respect and their well-being is a top priority. This made my experience all the more meaningful, knowing that I was part of something that has a positive impact on these magnificent animals.
If you're looking for a perfect morning filled with interaction and love with elephants, Elefantastic is the ideal destination. It will warm your heart and leave you with unforgettable memories. I cannot recommend them enough!

Wow, what a phenomenal and unique experience!
I came here with my partner while in Jaipur and it was one of the best parts of our trip. The elephants are so well taken care of (people are not allowed to ride the elephants) and you spend a few hours bathing the elephant, feeding it, and walking it. They seem very happy to be with people and in the sanctuary. The workers treat the elephants very well and shared lots of great information about the sanctuary and elephants. It's such a great experience and way for people to be so close to an elephant. This is a must do experience for any animal lover! When I visit Jaipur again, I will definitely come back here.

It Easy an amazing experience we had with the elefantastic family today. Our hearts are so happy I cannot really express completely. They're doing a wonderful job for the people getting to know the elephants in elefantastic.
We spent time with Shakku who grew as almost a sister to the owners, and we could feel the love and conection they had together.
The owners mom's cuisine was so delicious and she's very lovely woman. We could feel her love in the food and the way she received us ✨. All best for the people at elefantastic, when I come back to India, i'll definitely be coming again with them.
Please, be sure to call and reserve directly via WhatsApp with them because the hotel driver we had wanted to take us to other place where elephants aren't loved or treated well. Book it in advance because it may be crowded for high season in India.

A truly unforgettable experience. We spent the day seeing many historical sights in Jaipur. Our guide ,Akaram was very knowledgeable and accommodated our needs. He was well aware of the best spot for photos at all the locations. The day ended with the most incredible elephant experience. We were met by Vicky who helped us get comfortable around our elephant. Shaku was the Elephant assigned to us. We were told her name means peaceful and she lived up to her name. We felt very comfortable getting up close. As an animal lover, it was very important to me that the animals be fairly treated. It is clear that the elephants are well cared for here and live the best lives. We were able to paint Shaku, feed her, give her a bath and go for a walk with her. I highly recommend the experience to anyone planning on visiting Jaipur

Definitely one of the best experiences I had on my trip to India! Elefantastic is a great place to learn about and care for Elephants. You are first treated to an amazing home cooked meal for lunch then taken to the sanctuary where you get acquainted to one assigned to you. After feeding you take your elephant for a walk in the sun and then give it water and a bath. They are doing a wonderful thing for these creatures and is a most memorable time you will cherish.

The City Palace in Jaipur is an opulent 18th-century palace that once served as the residence of Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II and is now a museum. It's a popular historical attraction known for its beautiful collection of paintings, textile gallery, armory, Durbar hall, BaggiKhana, and SarvatoBhadraor (Diwan E-Khas) with exquisite architectural beauty.
It is a beautiful place to visit during day. Very photogenic place. A link of royal lineage, feel the royalty genre.
Remember to take a guide as it will be worth to take one otherwise you would come out without knowing the history and importance of this palace. There is a market inside the palace where local handcrafted items are displayed, prices are on higher side but if you want to support local craftsmanship then please buy from them as the money you spend here will directly help these awesome local creative people, most of them has received recognition from PM and government of India.

Jaipur is one city that transports you back to the Rajput era the moment you set foot there. It is dotted with architectural wonders and that is the reason why the city sees a good tourist footfall all year round. One such architectural delight right at the center of Jaipur is the City Palace; a symbol of the regal and royal days of the city.
City Palace is a building that has preserved the history of the city and is an icon of grandeur. Once you enter the palace all you can do is stand transfixed by its beauty while you soak in the marvelous architecture and the artifacts inside the palace. City Palace used to be the home for the royal family of Jaipur but later it was divided into two parts; one which contains few courtyards and museums and the other where the royal family still resides.

Nice palace complex in Jaipur with some interesting little exhibits in museums, the armour and weapons one being the highlight. The complex itself has a bunch of ticket options, with the most beautiful areas reserved for an expensive guided experience, so if you want to just look through yourself without a guide you won’t be able to see these nice parts of the place.
The basic combined ticket for 700 rupees will let you wander around the different areas and museums of the place which was still nice but it would be good to have an option to see the other parts on your own.

Nestled in the heart of Jaipur, this palace is a must-visit, offering a glimpse into the city's rich heritage and culture. Explore a treasure trove of artifacts, architecture, ornaments, garments, vehicles, and insights into the royal lifestyle. For a captivating experience, enter the palace area at 5:30 PM during winters to witness its grandeur in both daylight and under lights before it closes at 6 PM. Noteworthy, the palace remains the residence of the royal family, adding an extra layer of historical resonance.

Beautiful place to visit if you are in or around Jaipur.
Brilliant show of ancient and traditional designs and blend of colours.
I would recommend to go in without a guide as there is not much history to explain. Even a small intro video would be more than enough for it.
Entry fee for Indians is around 200, and use student card if possible for half rates.
It's a photogenic place but overcrowded.

The one of the best places in Jaipur and the most beautiful thing about this is there is still the king is here and if the flag hosted there is two the king is inside the palace,the architecture, paintings,dresses ,wow the main reason why everyone are still visiting India is that even without technology, mechanical advancement they managed to do amazing, extraordinary instruments which was perfectly based on calculation
Cons-
Rate for things which is sold inside is hell expensive but its usual in tourism spots ,
We must depend on local guide or packages and the places near are little dangerous and don't fell for scams
- i prefer taking food from were you are departing

Of course, no doubt, one of the best heritage which is kept preserved. One thing, there are so many old things which they don't allow photography.. I can understand flash can have some light exposure but at least let people take photos without flash. It will help people know what is inside.

The ticket to see all rooms is incredibly expensive. But they are also some of the most beautiful I’ve seen on my trip tomorrow so far. Plus, given the price, there aren’t many people in line to take pictures. The building itself is 5 stars.
Be aware, that the tour guide adds - as always and super annoying - a shop to this tour. Just be prepared to not be scammed. There seems to be not price in the world you can pay to avoid tour guides in this city to not bring you to their best friends shop. He made us leave the palace and where then being brought back.
I should suggest there must be a way for the ticket office to prevent such things. It’s highly annoying and always gives the whole experience a taste of bitterness.

This is one of the MUST visit royal heritages in Jaipur. Entry fees is 200 rupees for resident indians, guide charges are extra.
2-3 hours are more than sufficient to visit this place including group photographs sessions.
There are few galleries where taking photographs is not allowed.
Places like photography hall, weapons hall are quite good.
There are few shops and restaurants situated inside this place.

It's a must visit if you're in Jaipur. The city palace is so named after the residence of the royal highness. It was built hundreds of years back.
There are various types of tickets available to enter it ranging from 300 to 3500 rupees. The 300 rs ticket will give you access to the museum and the outer part of the city palace, the 1500 rs ticket will give you access to the inside of the city palace whereas the 3500 one includes visit to the royal blue coloured palace that you'll find in the pictures.
We went with a 300 rupees entry as we were short of time and that only took an easy 3-4 hours with the help of a tour guide. Moreover, if you'll take a guide they'll take you to all the shops and artisans inside so be mindful of what you want to buy and what not to.

Worth visiting for folks who enjoy museums.
•Upkeep and maintenance by the royal family + trust there I believe the 200 INR (Indian Adult) per person may be justified.
•There are other more expensive ticket option available where you are allowed to see more galleries. Read about it on jaipurtouriam.co.in before hand because upon arrival there will be guides harassing you with all kinds of random information.
•Speaking of guides, expect haggling and general annoyance where they will follow you around and urge you to hire them, ofcourse for a fee (500 INR+). Expect this at all tourist places in Jaipur. In my opinion it is absolutely not worth the money because the information they tell you is often not correct and nothing more than what is already available on blogs/websites and also the plaques put in place for tourists to read. Moreover they hurry you along, skip galleries that tend to take longer and push their own agenda on you by taking you to shops so thay they earn further comission.
• City Palace with the 200 INR ticket has 4 Galleries open for view other than the Palace Grounds 1: Armoury 2: Royal Textiles 3: Painting and photographs 4: The royal court. Other than the palace grounds photography is prohibited.
• Overall worth visiting for a few hours. There is also a restaurant and cafe inside but due to pandemic and generally poor reviews didn't try them.

A beautifull place to visit who loves history, museum, old heritage. Though, people come here for instragrammable pic shot only.

The most beautiful and well maintained palace. The king's family is still living here. They gave some parts to the government and the rest of them were for them. We can visit the king's private palace but have to buy a separate ticket for that.in public space we can see the weapons,dresses and photographs of the king's family.

The Palace is worth a visit as it offers some great insights in the life and lifestyle of previous and current Maharajas of Jaipur. The place is well maintained and Clean. It offers ample of space not only to stroll inside but also to sit and Relax. I won't recommend a guide when visiting here. There's ample parking space and requires 2-3 hours to peacefully explore this place.

Only concern is entry fee. Since the palace is maintained by king family itself entry fee is costly. Jaipur City Palace is a true gem, deserving of a 5-star rating.

The museum is a treasure trove of royal artifacts, providing a captivating journey through Jaipur's regal past. The breathtaking views of the Pink City from the palace are simply awe-inspiring.

Very beautiful palace in the heart of Jaipur city. This is a must visit for experiencing the rich heritage and culture, if you’re visiting Jaipur. You can expect to see lots of artifacts, architecture, construction, ornaments, garments, vehicles and insights of the royal lifestyle of Jaipur’s royal family.
Highly recommend to enter the palace area at 5.30 PM during winters (entry closes at 6 PM) to see the palace in day light as well under lights.
Also note, the palace is still the residence of the royal family!

The City Palace in Jaipur is an exceptional monument, offering a rich glimpse into history. Admission prices are reasonable, at ₹300 for adults and ₹150 for kids and students with valid ID, though slightly higher for foreigners, likely around ₹500. Inside, the guide service impresses with bilingual guides fluent in Hindi and English. Personally, I found the Darbar and armory sections particularly fascinating, providing valuable insights into historical warfare tactics. The palace boasts numerous other attractions worth exploring, and its beauty is magnified under the night sky. Without a doubt, a visit to the City Palace comes highly recommended for a memorable and enlightening experience.

Gangori Bazaar, J.D.A. Market, Pink City, Jaipur, Rajasthan 302002, India
Jantar Mantar, located in Jaipur, Rajasthan, is an 18th-century astronomical observatory and UNESCO World Heritage site. It showcases the scientific and astronomical expertise of Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II through a collection of large instruments designed to observe celestial phenomena with precision. The site features sundials, astronomical clocks, and measuring tools including the Samrat Yantra, the world's largest sundial.
One of the best old and rich science & engineering concepts I have ever visited. The items were manufactured with extreme precision. It clearly says the relationship between the position of sun and the time, really a beautiful place to visit with proper understanding. Do see some of the YouTube videos available on these concepts. You will also get a chance to see the video on the basic concepts from their office. A must visit place.

While this is positioned as a place of ancient Indian science and technology, the place lacks the adoption of modern tech and story telling to captivate the audience by explaining the relevance of each equipment here. Apparently a guide would have made the visit worthwhile as per other reviews.

Jantar mantar is one of the most important and wonderful monument built by Raja Jai Singh II. There are total 5 Jantar Mantars in India- Jaipur, Delhi, Ujjain, Mathura and Varanasi. But today only functional one is at Jaipur and i have heard that the one in Mathura is demolished. The jantar mantar located in jaipur has 19 instruments.
The beauty of this monument is that you can find exact local time with the help of Sun. Hence it is sun based and would jot work during rainy season or in cloudy weather. Astrologically it is important as today also many astrologers visit to find the exact position of nakshatra. In older days this monument used to find local time and rashi and nakshatra of the new born, based on which the kundali was prepared. It even tells the in which sun sign the child is born and it has all 12 sun signs for further predictions. Hence those who follow sun signs, this place is master piece, as i mentioned earlier it is based on sun and it works during day time when sun is there.

It is a very beautiful place with lots of instruments to measure time and stars using sunlight. World Heritage place. It offers great learnings about how these things were measured earlier when there were no proper instruments available. Guides will tell you the significance of each and every instrument. Without the guide, it is just a park that you can cover in 20-25 mins.

Fascinating place to understand state of the astronomical knowledge centuries ago. Without computers, they could measure and calculate so much astronomical information. There is a sun dial with 2 seconds accuracy.

I had an amazing time exploring the open solar observatory! It was truly fascinating to see how our ancestors understood astronomy. From predicting horoscopes to studying constellations, the depth of knowledge on display was impressive. Despite the crowds on weekends, getting tickets for 50rs each, either at the counter or through UPI, was easy. The puppet doll show was a delightful addition to the experience. Hiring a local guide was a great decision, as they helped navigate through the noise and explained everything in detail. Overall, it was a memorable and enriching visit!

Beautiful design of sun dial / sun clock.
Combination of Art, math calculation and prediction of sun movement.
Nice, fun and full of knowledge. While sight seeing, we can see the historical ways to tells time with math and logic calculation.
Good place to bring your family and kids along as we can do both having holiday while learning about historical time.
Minus is that no public parking nearby, you have to find parking bit far from Jantar Mantar. Of more wisely to use tuktuk or taxi to come here.
If you visit at noon, consider to use your hat and sunglasses, as it is a bit hot.

One of ancient architecture of Jaipur made by Jai Singh. It is the most interesting tourist spot of Jaipur. One can find out the different instruments for measurement of time. You can even find Vrihat Samrat Yantra (Largest of all Jai Singh's instruments). Please take a local guide to understand how time is measured with the help of sunlight. It is really interesting. Don't miss this place. Entry fees for Indians - 50 per person. You will be witness of extreme beauty of nature.

tldr; Absolutely mind blowing. Must visit, especially if you are interested in astronomy and mathematics.
This is a group of astrological instruments that mostly work on solar movement and the position of stars. You can see the gigantic creation and get yourself mesmerized with the level of accuracy and the maths that is involved.
There are a lot of yantra and each of them provides one or more data points, by combining them you can gather much more data about the movement of starts and time.
The big sundial was mind blowing, given the fact that it had ~2 second accuracy builds hundreds of years ago.
Don't miss this if you visit Jaipur. There is a video hall as well, where how each instrument works is explained in very simple language.

Exploring Jantar Mantar at 2:00 pm this afternoon was a fascinating dive into astronomical precision and historical ingenuity. The sundials and instruments, bathed in the afternoon sun, showcased the scientific brilliance of ancient Rajput astronomers. The clear skies allowed for a seamless understanding of the celestial measurements. Visiting Jantar Mantar in the afternoon provides an educational yet visually striking experience, unraveling the secrets of timekeeping and celestial observations in the heart of Jaipur.

If astronomy and maths are something you enjoy then this is the perfect site. It demonstrates the lengths the astronomers went to to map our position in the universe and shows a testament to their skill that everything remains so accurate. The precision in their engineering is astounding and in the modern day I feel what we can achieve with more advanced tools is not significantly better!

I didn't know what to expect at Jantar Mantar. I was pleasantly surprised by the structure. Moreover, I was impressed by the guide that had been arranged for us.
It was good to understand how the giant sundials have been made. It was also interesting to see that Jaipur is 33 minutes behind the time of India, as per the Sundial.
A must visit if you are a person whoi believes in astrology.

Good A great display of historical scientific artefact located near City palace.
I would recommend to take a guide for better understanding of the architectures.
Place has facilities of drinking water and public toilets.
Amazing place if you're a curious space geek.
It makes you wonder how they must have had the knowledge about these celestial objects that time. It is a must visit if you love astronomy and space.
Heavily crowded. Tickets are available both via counter and through upi. 50rs per person. There's even puppet doll show which is unique to see. Definitely it's worth a visit since you get a ton of knowledge. Guides are very helpful here they explain how the instruments work.

This place is design at its best. Functional, aesthetic, simple, beautiful and literally timeless. These ancient instruments to calculate time, sun paths, moon phases including various Zodiacs (raashis)is quite a marvel. Do visit early to avoid crowds and the blaring heat (if visiting in summers). To understand this monument better, a guide is highly recommended. Not sure about their prices as i didn't hire one. Do not miss the small shrine at the east edge of the complex. It's quite a serene spot to relax.

The instruments are definitely a creation of genius minds. Very innovative and impressive. It's very clean, beautiful and well maintained. However, it is actually difficult for layman to understand the instruments and their significance. The description written and displayed there is not appropriately drafted which makes it all the more difficult to understand. Someone who is interested in science and geography may find it more fascinating to explore Jantar Mantar.

W had very low expectations for this place. We had budgeted for less than an hour and ended up
spending more than two hours. The reason - a good English speaking guide.
He explained very well and our interest in astronomy made the difference. The instruments made 100s of years ago and technology that existed was amazing.
Spend some time there and get a good guide and that will make a difference.

What a beautiful place it is !!
Jantar Mantar is one of the historical monuments in Jaipur (Rajasthan).
This is one of the five Jantar Mantar(s). This is still functional. This place is very well maintained. The added photo is the biggest sun dial, and the time depicted here is very close to the exact one (less than 10 seconds). The best time to visit is winter time (Dec - Feb) and during day light and clear sky. Clear sky let the sun light make a shadow and you will relate with all the sun dials here and understand it's functioning.
Happy Learning !!

Gangori Bazaar, J.D.A. Market, Pink City, Jaipur, Rajasthan 302002, India
Hawa Mahal, also known as the Palace of Winds, is a significant landmark in Jaipur. Built in 1799, this stunning palace was designed as a high screen wall made of pink and red sandstone with 953 jharokhas or windows. It allowed royal women to observe street festivities while maintaining their privacy due to the purdah system.
Hawa Mahal is one of the main attractions of Jaipur.
You can click pictures here from outside without giving any money or take a ticket for 50/-(Indian) and visit from inside as well.
The view from outside is different in the morning and evening.
I'll suggest something between 5-6 so, you can see both the views.
Hawa Mahal has a good market and a connecting metro line as well.
There are 2 cafes in front of hawa Mahal the food there is amazing.
Enjoy your trip. 👍

It's the most familial monument of Jaipur. You can easily spent a hour exploring it's nuke and corners. The five storied monument has many folk artists with their music and puppet show, which is highly enjoyable. Don't forget to take photographs from the front side of the Hawa Mahal which is in the opposite side of its formal entry and exit.

Hawa Mahal is the heart of Jaipur city.... Beautiful, symmetric and mesmerizing !!!
Are situated in the main city and is thus generally crowded, especially in the evening.
It has been a year since I visit at this palace. And I'm still in a hangover of this beautiful palace.
The entry fees is rupees 50 per head. And you are allowed cameras and mobile phones and all your bags with you. On entering the palace you see a beautiful fountain which is a good place for taking pictures as the palace will also be visible in the background.
Then you just have to climb and keep climbing the stairs tell you reach the top. From there you have the citi's aerial view. There are multi coloured glasses on the window covers that looks really beautiful. In the place is usually windy on the top.
A few things that I found amazing about this palace are mini windows on the gallery, the symmetry of the palace, colourful windows and the city view from the top.
Really had a great experience visiting this palace "The Heart of the Pink City- Jaipur" !!

Beautiful facade on the outside from the main street. Entrance is a road just before the facade and then you turn right (it’s well signposted). Entrance fee is 200 rupees for foreigners and it’s gets very busy with school trips so just be aware when your there it can be a lot of people pushing to get up and down the connecting corridors for the views on the top floors. View from the top was nice but I prefer to look at the building itself from across the street.

In my opinion, it was a great experience to see the whole city of Jaipur from the top of the Hawa Mahal. It was like being in a hawa flowing with its assistance in the top. I would appreciate it if you visited it once at night. The magical view of the city at night is simply breathtaking, with the twinkling lights and stars in the sky and the city lit up like a fairytale. It creates an ambience of romance and mystery that is hard to resist, and it's a great way to experience the city of Jaipur in a unique way. The Hawa Mahal is one of the most iconic landmarks of Jaipur, and it is especially stunning at night. From the terrace of the Hawa Mahal, you can get a spectacular view of the city and its many monuments, all lit up in the night sky. The beauty of the Hawa Mahal at night is truly captivating, and it is an experience that you should not miss. All in all, the Hawa Mahal at night is a magical experience that will stay with you for a long time.

A very cool structure that is a must see in Jaipur. I was looking around while driving, and all of a sudden it’s just there! Pops out of nowhere, so be prepared. The street was over crowded and busy! Tons of cars so it was difficult to even cross the street and get a full on view. Crowds make it a bit harder to get a full, unobstructed view of it. But it is beautiful and well worth it! An historic piece worth seeing.

Hawa Mahal is the magnificent architecture built from red and pink sandstone and is on the edge of the City Palace. It is also known as Palace of the Winds and Palace of the Breeze. I loved the colored glass-work because when the sunlight enters, the entire chamber lit beautifully which is an awe moment. I was lucky as I got to the fountain raising and soaring to a great height.
Entry fees for Indians is Rs 50 and for Foreigners it's Rs 200. For students it's 25 (just carry your ID Card) and joy the breath taking views from the top of the 12th floor of Hawa Mahal (a must for someone who is not afraid of heights).

Absolutely beautiful....I can see why it's one of the top places to visit in Jaipur. One advice before you visit Hawa Mahal would be don't go during the day... you'll be cooked in sun. The beautiful photo of the Hawa Mahal you see everywhere is not inside but actually outside and can be best enjoyed from one of the several cafes on the opposite side of the road.
If you're just visiting for that amazing photo of the palace. Just go to the tattoo cafe or something.

Title: Mesmerizing Night View at Hawa Mahal, Jaipur
I recently had the opportunity to visit the iconic Hawa Mahal in Jaipur during the evening hours, and the experience was nothing short of enchanting. The stunning architecture of this historical monument comes alive under the magical glow of the night lights, creating a truly mesmerizing sight that left me in awe.
As I stood in front of the intricately designed facade of the Hawa Mahal, I couldn't help but marvel at the intricate lattice work and the countless windows that allowed the cool evening breeze to flow through. The play of light and shadow on the sandstone walls gave the structure a mystical aura that transported me back in time to the royal era of Rajasthan.
The lively atmosphere around the Hawa Mahal added to the charm of the visit, with street vendors selling local snacks and souvenirs, and crowds of visitors enjoying the beauty of the monument. The view from the top floors of the Hawa Mahal offered a panoramic vista of Jaipur city illuminated by the shimmering lights, making it a picture-perfect moment that I will cherish forever.
Overall, the night visit to Hawa Mahal was a delightful experience filled with history, culture, and scenic beauty. I would highly recommend this enchanting spot to anyone visiting Jaipur, especially during the evening hours when the monument truly shines in all its glory.
In conclusion, my visit to Hawa Mahal under the night sky was a memorable and breathtaking experience that exceeded all my expectations. It's a must-visit destination for anyone seeking to soak in the vibrant heritage and architectural marvels of Jaipur.
Happy Travels,

A very nice place of historical value. This place is more for people who love ancient monuments and architecture. Although there isn't a great deal inside to explore, it's nice place to get some good photos. Entry ticket costs 52 as of the time of writing this. You will spend about 40 mins inside.
However, this place is beautifully lit at night and many people come to take photos, due to which the road gets congested.

During my most recent trip to Jaipur, I was awestruck by the Hawa Mahal, which is a magnificent marvel that deserves to be admired. It is a testament to Jaipur's rich architectural tradition that this monumental edifice, which is sometimes referred to as the "Palace of Winds," was once built. Both the elaborate lattice work and the pink sandstone masonry are examples of a genuinely exceptional combination of engineering and artistic skill.
One can get a look into the royal past of Jaipur by visiting the Hawa Mahal, which is a popular tourist attraction. Not only does the one-of-a-kind design, which features a multitude of windows, serve as an architectural wonder, but it also offers a practical answer to the region's sweltering heat, enabling the royal ladies to view street festivities in a discrete manner.
The amenities at the Hawa Mahal are kept in good condition, and there are instructive plaques posted throughout the building that provide historical context and specifics about the landmark. The procedure for entering is easy, and the personnel is well-informed and willing to assist as needed. The panoramic views that can be seen from the upper levels are quite beautiful and provide a wonderful vantage point from which to take in the splendor of the city.
In close proximity to the Hawa Mahal is a lively shopping district that contributes to the region's overall allure. Shopping enthusiasts will find a veritable paradise in the bustling bazaars that surround the palace. These bazaars sell traditional Rajasthani handicrafts, textiles, and jewelry. Exploring the adjacent markets and participating in the culture of the area is a pleasant experience that one should not miss out on.
In conclusion, the Hawa Mahal is highly recommended as a site in Jaipur since it not only provides an insight into the royal history of the city but also provides an experience that is visually magnificent. The facilities, in conjunction with the shopping areas that are located nearby, make it a well-rounded excursion that offers the ideal combination of historical significance and the vitality of the local community.

Anmol — Google review
Jaipur, often referred to as the "Pink City" due to the distinct color of its historic buildings, is a city steeped in rich history and architectural splendor. Among the many landmarks that adorn this city, Jal Mahal stands out as a unique and captivating masterpiece. This review aims to delve into the intricate details, historical significance, architectural marvel, and overall experience of visiting Jal Mahal in Jaipur.
**Introduction:**
Jal Mahal, literally translated as the "Water Palace," is a breathtaking palace located in the midst of the Man Sagar Lake, just outside Jaipur. Its picturesque setting amidst the tranquil waters makes it a sight to behold and an essential stop for any traveler exploring the city. The palace is a five-story structure, with four levels submerged in the lake's waters during the monsoon season, giving the illusion of floating on the lake.
**Historical Significance:**
Built during the 18th century, during the reign of Maharaja Madho Singh I, Jal Mahal was intended to serve as a leisure retreat for the royal family and their entourage. The palace's location in the center of the lake allowed for privacy and exclusivity, creating an oasis of serenity amidst the bustling city.
**Architectural Marvel:**
Jal Mahal seamlessly blends elements of Rajput and Mughal architectural styles, resulting in a harmonious and captivating design. The palace's lower levels are made of red sandstone, a hallmark of Rajput architecture, while the upper floors exhibit delicate Mughal-style ornamental work. This unique fusion of styles showcases the cultural synthesis that was prevalent during that era.
**Design and Layout:**
The palace's design is a symphony of intricate details and thoughtful planning. The chhatris (domed pavilions) on the rooftop are adorned with lotus motifs and elegantly carved jali (lattice) screens, allowing for ventilation and a play of light and shadow. The chhatri on the central dome is particularly impressive, acting as the crown jewel of the palace's design.
**Natural Integration:**
What truly sets Jal Mahal apart is its remarkable integration with the natural environment. The palace seems to rise organically from the lake's waters, with its reflection creating a mesmerizing mirror image on the still surface. The surrounding Aravalli hills and the lush greenery further enhance the ethereal beauty of the scene.
**Conservation Efforts:**
Over the years, Jal Mahal faced significant challenges due to environmental degradation and neglect. The lake's pollution and the deterioration of the palace's structure raised concerns about its survival. However, conservation efforts have been initiated to restore the palace to its former glory. This includes cleaning the lake, restoring the architectural elements, and implementing measures to control pollution.
**Visitor Experience:**
Visiting Jal Mahal is a sensory delight. The journey to the palace involves a leisurely drive through the bustling city, followed by a tranquil boat ride on the lake to reach the palace. The view of the palace against the backdrop of the Aravalli hills during sunrise or sunset is a sight that leaves a lasting impression. The palace isn't open to the public for exploration inside, but its exterior beauty and the surrounding scenery offer ample opportunities for photography and contemplation.
**Cultural Significance:**
Jal Mahal stands as a testament to Jaipur's architectural prowess and cultural heritage. It embodies the opulence and refinement of the bygone era, offering a glimpse into the extravagant lifestyle of the royals. The palace's location also serves as a reminder of the Maharajas' connection with nature and their ability to create harmonious retreats within the urban landscape.
**Conclusion:**
In conclusion, Jal Mahal is more than just a palace; it's a living testament to the creative genius of the architects of its time. Its blend of architectural styles, integration with nature, and historical significance make it a jewel in Jaipur's crown. A visit to Jal Mahal is an immersive experience that transp

It can only be sighted from far. You can't visit it. The periphery of the lake is beautifully developed, and a lot of street vendors are available there selling Rajasthani crafts, etc. It's a good tourist place to hang out. The mahal is beautiful, but not something to be in awe of.

It is a very iconic place in Jaipur, the temple on the lake. It reminded me of Udaipur’s White Palace. There is a very nice promenade around the lake, very lively, that offers great photography opportunities of both the palace and the visitors.

A Nice place to visit in Jaipur- not too many activities to do except a few good clicks and local road side small vendors to taste their local food.. should visit during November till April for a better temperature-

Best time to visit this place is in the evening. One can not go near or enter this place as this Mahal is located in the middle of the Lake. There is place for the visitors on the bank of the Lake just beside the road to enjoy the view of this place. This can be planned during the visit to Amer fort as this is on the way. Probably a beautiful place of the evening to spend some time in your Jaipur visit.

The structure is beautiful to see, an ancient Palace in the middle of a water body! A must visit place and you have to take a pic here if you are in Jaipur. Besides looking at this structure, there is nothing much to do. You can feed the fishes, but I didn't even see one, maybe because it was mid summer day. Sadly no cafe to sit and enjoy the beauty of this place. Surroundings not very clean. It's on the way to Amer Fort so you won't miss it!

The lake was well maintained and water was good as my visit was just during monsoon
No one is allowed to enter the palace on water and all need to take photos from the road side
The scenic beauty is captured in the video enclosed herewith
It’s a must visit to this place and you can take few photos in 10 min
There are plenty of shops available where you can bargain and buy all gift items
Parking is restricted but can be managed

It is a great location to go with friends and family and there are some people available that will click your pictures and wil provide you clothes as well. Visit in this location on morning or after 6 pm to enjoy a little better because the location is less crowded at this time.

Best time to visit Jal Mahal is evening time. You will enjoy more than the normal day time.
There is small market, you can shop from there. Photo clicking, rajasthani dress photo shoot etc available there.
In evening looks better because of Lighting.

Superb Location, Architecture, and Vibe. Place is abandoned, and it seems government is neglecting this historic place. Zero cleanliness not maintained at all. I know why tourism and archeological departments are sleeping over it.

Just viewing this great architecture from Rajputs is a privilege not lot of Indians are aware of.
It is told to us that it's bottom two floors are submerged in water but it is still standing and was designed is such a fashion that it will last long. You can't go in there but go at evening time and with plenty of snacks available around you will have a good evening. Kulfi is rs30 but they try to overprice everyone. Go for Amul stall parked at road.

The Jal Mahal, or "Water Palace", is a five-story palace built in the middle of Man Sagar Lake in Jaipur, India. The palace is built entirely of red sandstone and is a combination of Rajput and Mughal architectural styles. The palace is one of the most popular attractions in Jaipur.
The palace was originally intended to be a hunting lodge for the local king. However, in the 16th century, a severe drought caused the locals to build a dam, which created a lake that submerged the lower portions of the lodge. The palace's stone walls hold back millions of liters of water, and the specially designed lime mortar prevents water seepage into the palace. The palace's top floor is visible above the water, giving the impression that the palace is floating on the lake.
The palace was commissioned by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II in the early 18th century.

I was in Jaipur for 2 days for a business event.
Went to this popular place in the evening, but, this place was so good the weather was very good not too cold not at all hot.
The night view was very good especially the moon color was orange which added grace to this place.

It is a great place to visit as it is a magnificent place and the palace is located in the centre of the lake which is unique on its own and you can enjoy the spectacular view of the Mahal with some snacks available over there like chana masala and other items which you can purchase from the local venders over there

The place looks absolutely serene sitting quietly in the middle of the lake. The architectural elegance is absolutely mesmerizing as the place seems to be floating on water. To get the best experience you should visit the place early in the morning or during twilight. Also, the best views would be when the sky is completely blue, because it will give a nice hue to the water. Also, it's a great place for bird watchers.
However, the water of the lake is extremely dirty as people feed fishes and birds, which is restricted by the government. Proper maintenance should be in place for such a beautiful historical monument.

Jal Mahal in Jaipur is a breathtaking architectural marvel situated in the middle of the Man Sagar Lake. must-visit destination in Jaipur. The symmetrical design, intricate detailing, and the reflection of the palace in the serene waters of the lake create a mesmerizing sight, especially during sunrise and sunset.

The Lake Palace of Jaipur is an architectural marvel. Nestled in the middle of the lake it is no doubt a treat to watch from the shore. However, as a tourist we are not allowed to enter the building and the charm ends with a few clicks from the shore. Hopefully someday it is renovated enough for the tourist to enjoy its glamour from within through a short boat ride.
While visitors can admire the palace from a distance and enjoy its beauty, entry inside is restricted to maintain its preservation and conservation

Visiting Jal Mahal in Jaipur was an unforgettable experience. The architectural beauty of this water palace surrounded by the Man Sagar Lake is simply mesmerizing. It’s a perfect blend of history and natural beauty. The view of the palace against the backdrop of the Aravalli hills is breathtaking, especially during sunset. Although access to the interior of the palace is restricted, the ambiance alone makes it worth a visit. A must-see attraction for anyone exploring Jaipur!
Amber Palace, also known as Amer Fort, is a stunning architectural marvel in Jaipur that showcases an exquisite blend of Indian and Mughal styles. This historical site was home to wealthy Maharajas and features intricate designs in pink and yellow sandstone with white marble embellishments. Visitors can enjoy elephant rides up the cobbled path to experience royal treatment. The fort's beauty has been preserved through centuries of war and conflict, making it a must-see attraction.
Amazing experience. The fort is beautiful and the guide takes you around the fort explaining all the details and key notes about the history. There are several view points and photography points to take good pictures. You can also take elephant ride inside the fort. Must visit palace!

Must visit, before reading Wiki or after hiring a guide but beware..you will end up buying the stuff you don't need. Tip - visit at the earliest to get ample parking space. Take your car and follow google map, it will show you entire path till parking on top. Any car can go above, provided you can drive or if it's an old car, you can still go with ease if you simply reach there early morning around 8. Ticker counter opens at 8AM

The fort is marvelous! It has got all the pomp it could have. You will start enjoying its beauty as we touch the road towards the fort. There are elephant rides that take you to the fort, which foreigners hardly miss😅. It is very big, every structure in the fort is intricately decorated, thoughtfully created. I think it's one of the few forts in India which stands with that level of preservation. This fort is truly an identity of the 'Gulabi Sheher'! Jaipur trip can't be complete without a visit to Amber fort.

Lovely fort. Must visit if you are in Jaipur and you love forts. The place is humongous. The front portion of the fort looks mesmerizing with the lake in front. Try to visit there as early as possible. The place holds so much history and is built for such a long time. Every section of the fort has something or other to offer. Check out all the places. Just imagining while standing there as what it might have felt in its prime is magnificent.

Jaipur trip must start with Amer/Amber fort. Highly recommended to visit in evening so that one can enjoy the lights in the Palace.
Hire a local guide and a Jeep to carry you from the parking space to the top of fort. May try personal vehicle if familiar.
There is a light and sound show but locals don't recommend it.
Hiring the guide is must to understand the history of the palace.

Absolutely a must to visit. Ride up to the fort in jeeps as the road is narrow and steep. Watch out for the elephants. The fort is in sections according to the ages it was built and extended. The hall of mirrors is stunning. Shine your phone torch up towards the roof and it's like stars sparkling . The gardens in one section are beautifully kept and show what it must have looked like. The views from the top and along the ridge of the hills show what an amazing feat of work it was to build it and defend it.

Incredible, beautiful and well maintained, Huge in area and would take whole day to see the fort. The fort amazing example of a well maintained fort. Has a very detailed explanation of how the fort was built, its significance along with explanation on each. The view you get of the fort when you are about to reach the fort is quite mesmerizing. Definitely worth visiting if you are in Jaipur. Do check out Nahargarh too if you can, feel the royalty of king as well as feel the beauty of this place. I would like to recommend you please go early morning after 9. Am so you can see full fort .This is very big fort you need whole day to see all.

Amber Fort needs maintenance, Although it is declared as a world heritage site. Such as restoration of painting, walls, etc, so that it can attract more visitors. They need to maintain parking facilities at the front and rear gates.
LOKESH REDDY — Google review
A historical palace and a must visit fort in Jaipur. This fort will take around 2-3 hours to visit entirely. The interiors of the fort are mesmerizing. If you take the guide, they will explain all the history of the palace, which is very interesting. There is a cave from within the palace that goes to Jaigarh fort, but it closes at 4. The fort looks even better in the evening when the lighting starts.
You can either walk up the stairs to reach the palace, or take a jeep (Rs. 500 per jeep for up and down) or take your own car to the top where there is parking space available.
There is also a light and sound show that tells the history of the fort's construction and expansion. The entrance of the light and sound show is at a different place outside the palace. You can take your own car to the light and sound show place, won't recommend taking the auto or jeep from the parking for this.

Fantastic place with so much history. Make sure to get a guide (400 or so rupees) to really learn what this beautiful place was all about. Massive palace sitting on the mountain in the middle of a jungle. Such a wonder how these structures were built so long ago and are still standing so sturdy today. The sun and water palace is amazing.

Enjoyed well.
Road to the palace was cool and enjoyable.
To cover every nook and corner, you need to walk but not faster.
Walking through the tunnel was really good.
Imagine the people who actually lived at those periods to get the actual feel.
Take water and snacks for your refreshment.

City of forts and palaces - Jaipur. When you are driving from Delhi Amber Palace is the 1st palace you will encounter. This Palace is located 10-12km form city on the outskirts overlooking the city. Its a very huge palace from where you can see the walls on the hills. We visited here around 15:00 in April. It was very hot. If you are reaching in noon do take a water bottle and a cap. Don't get in touch with any local guide as they give wrong information's. We can take our own vehicle up and till the entrance of the palace.
This palace needs an entry ticket of 50/- per head (Both offline & online available). Also, night light show is available and it starts from 19:00 till 22:00 with 21:30 as last entry. A beautiful place to see the sunset tooo.
Enjoy the beauty of AMBER Palace/.!!

Fort is beautiful. It gets really hot during the summer so recommended travel is in slightly cooler days. There is no wheel chair accessibility to the top. There are folks asking for elephant rides near the ticket counter, it’s a humble request do not do it - since the elephants are poorly treated and sometimes they scam you by taking you nowhere.

One of the best places in Jaipur. The fort is simple and neat. The fort's narrow route through the Amer Village is a unique experience that comes along. Note: Opting out a guide will be a good add-on.
(There is a "light Show" after 7:30pm, but i missed it.)

A must see in Jaipur. It’s grandeur and beauty is well maintained and the view from the palace is awesome. Be prepared for a long walk. I recommend visiting early in the morning, with a guide and possibly during off season. We were told that during peak season the wait time for vehicles to climb the hill is 2 hours or more. Do visit the ancient temples nearby.

Stepping into Amer Fort, also known as Amber Palace, in Jaipur was an awe-inspiring experience for me, as it was my first encounter with such a grand and historic fort. Nestled within the city, this fortress is a treasure trove of architectural marvels and rich history.
The sheer size of Amer Fort is overwhelming, with vast halls, spacious rooms, and towering walls that transport you back in time. The intricate artwork adorning the walls is nothing short of amazing, showcasing the craftsmanship of an era long gone. As I explored the fort, I discovered hidden tunnels, adding a touch of mystery to the adventure.
Spending 5-6 hours in Amer Fort is a journey into the past, offering insights into how kings lived in an era devoid of today's technology. The ingenious ways they maintained room temperatures and the lavish quarters for queens are captivating facets that make the visit truly enlightening.
While guides abound, sharing intriguing stories about the fort, hiring one isn't necessary. Numerous knowledgeable locals are more than willing to share tales, making it easy to absorb the rich history without the need for a formal guide.

Amber Fort in Jaipur is like a magical castle on a hill. It's made of beautiful white marble, yellow, and pink stones, making it look like a fairy tale. Getting there can be a bit tricky because the road is steep and full of people. Finding a parking spot is tough too, but that's because everyone wants to see this amazing fort—it's the number one attraction in Jaipur!
Once you make it to the top, though, it's like stepping into a royal storybook. The fort is super old and has incredible designs everywhere. You can feel the history in every corner. And oh, the views from the top are breathtaking! You can see all around Jaipur, and it's like a dream.
Even though it can get crowded, especially at the parking area, Amber Fort is a must-visit if you want to know about India's kings and queens. The place is so special, and the views make it even more magical. Don't miss it if you're in Jaipur!

Bhangarh Fort is a complex of historical significance, built in 1631, featuring the remains of Hindu temples, royal palaces and tombs. Located about 1.5 hours away from Jaipur, this landmark is rumored to be one of India's most haunted places but it has been well-maintained and offers beautiful views. It is advisable to take a government-approved guide who can narrate interesting stories about the place while exploring its ruins.
Beautiful place and well maintained. No need to be scared of Ghosts. However, would recommend to take a Govt approved Guide with you. You will enjoy the stories, he will narrate.

I had a long time wish to visit this " Haunted" fort, so made it on October 2nd.
Far from being haunted, it's a well constructed fort, built in a lovely natural location, surrounded by lush green hills forming a natural Boundary.
Though it is partly ruined, with buildings having NO roofs, it's a very nicely designed fort, well laid out buildings, market place, temples, etc, with exquisite architecture, paintings on walls, roof, etc.
The whole complex seems to have experienced a natural disaster like earthquake, bringing down buildings & in turn killing all people, hence the stories about being haunted.
Visit it if you get a chance, it's beautiful.

It's probably the most peaceful attraction in India. Even though it's one of the most haunted places in the world, it's really worth a visit during the day.

I saw many reptiles and insects in real like bat and this worm 🪱. Go there on a good weather day . And you have to buy tickets for 2 times. While parking your vehicle and while entering. You can't park anywhere around because it's not allowed . Hope it was helpful. Thank you ✨

A stunning abandoned fort on the shadows of the Aravalli Hills, the ruins include rows of old bazar buildings, temples, gates, gardens and a palace.
The location, setting, strangler fog trees and overall appeal make this place otherworldly and something out of a movie set.
Come during the end of the day towards sunset and the entire place is yours, but leave before it’s completely dark or else you might be locked in which will be a bad idea.

The fort's grounds are peaceful throughout the day because of the little waterfall and temples that have been painstakingly sculpted there. The ruins of a few palaces located inside the fort are convincing evidence of the fort's former glory. The fort's peaceful daytime environment and the fact that it is an architectural masterpiece would have made it a popular tourist destination.

Bhangarh fort is situated in Aravali hills in Alwar district. The fort has been made famous as it’s termed a most ‘haunted’ fort of India or even Asia.
It is a ruined fort city with five temples, a bazar, Purohit Ki Haveli, Nathan ki Haveli and a reconstructed palace.
Interesting to note that no statues are available inside the temples or in palace. Bazaar and Havelis are roofless.
Fort was constructed in 1573 by Raja Bhagwant Das. It is not clear as to how and when the fort was abandoned.
Guide may tell interesting stories of black magic, tantric and ghosts which are amusing. Better hear from him and enjoy!
Scenery is beautiful.
Opens at 9 in the morning and closes by 5 or 5.30 depending on season.
Charges for parking and entry.
No restaurant inside or nearby.
Afternoons are hot.

Bhangarh fort was established by Madho Singh, the younger brother of Man Singh. It was a planned city with walls all around and four gates. It was a busy commercial center of its time. Folklore has it that it was cursed by a hermit who lived on the nearby hill top and the fort became deserted overnight. It became a ghost town and still now has the distinction of being labelled as one of the most haunted places on Earth. There are four temples inside the fort but only one, the Someshwar Mahadev, has a deity in it. No one is allowed to stay in the fort after sunset and only eight guards remain at the main gate, near a Hanuman temple. There have been reports of many paranormal activities & accidents in the past but the last twenty years or so have not witnessed any such things. The fort is maintained in a very good condition and the tickets are reasonably priced at ₹25/-. Private parking is also available @ ₹100/- per vehicle. It is around 100 km from Alwar and 30 km from Dausa on Alwar Dausa road. The road condition is not good.

One of the most haunted place in india but i think that's not real story don't know about but its a very very peaceful place mind blowing ancient architecture. Try to explore this place in your life.
Try bhangarh fort to view gallery mountain treaking.
And enjoy aravalli mountains best view.

2 hours away from Jaipur city. The fort is mainly ruins. Famous for the haunted story and mainly the movie Karan Arjun movie set was on this fort.
Need a full day to visit here, no other site seeing you can include in this trip. If you have extra time in hand then you can visit here. Otherwise not much to see.
Now Guides are available there. They charge differently depending on the tourist. So bargain hard.
Otherwise if you know the fort background story then you can roam around also.
Beware of Monkeys. Don't carry foods.
Harshad Mata Temple is a beautiful temple located 33 kilometers from Dausa, next to the Chand Baori stepwell. It is dedicated to Harshat Mata, the goddess of joy and happiness. The temple's magnificent architecture and intricate sculptural styles are a visual delight.
This temple is evidence of muslim/islamic attack on Hindu temples. They brutally damaged temple each and every murti. It's a reminder what hindu faced during Mughal period.

Harṣat Mātā kā Mandir) is a Hindu temple in the Abhaneri (or "Abaneri") village of Rajasthan, in north-western India. The temple is now dedicated to a goddess called Harshat Mata, although some art historians theorize that it was originally a Vaishnavite shrine.

Harshat Mata Temple in Abaneri, Rajasthan (2019)
The original temple appears to have been built in the panchayatana style, which features a main shrine surrounded by four subsidiary shrines. Only parts of the main shrine now survive and they have been ruined and modified over several centuries, with the tall shikara tower replaced by a roof-dome. Much of the platform survives, with fragments of carved stones from the original structure, but most of the sculptures have been removed to the museums in Amer and jaipur.

I was there at noon so the temple was almost empty. The temple is located right next to the Chand Baori step well. At first, I didn't know it was the temple there. My curiosity took me to the temple. It was a small temple, yet it was old, quiet and beautiful. I had to say its architecture and design were super impressive. I spent some time there to pray and look around.

Harshat Mata Mandir, dedicated to the goddess of joy and "Happiness," stands as a testament to ancient Indian craftsmanship and devotion. Constructed in the 9th century AD by King Chand of the Chahamana dynasty, this temple showcases the rich architectural heritage of the Solanki style.
Upon entering the temple complex, visitors are greeted by the magnificent sanctuary, mandapa, and pradakshina path, each intricately adorned with intricate carvings and sculptures. One of the most remarkable features of the temple is its series of projecting balconies, embellished with sculptures depicting gods, goddesses, and mythical creatures, adding to its grandeur and charm.
The temple's interior is equally captivating, with its stunning ceiling adorned with exquisite frescoes depicting scenes from Hindu mythology. Despite the passage of time, these frescoes have been carefully restored, allowing visitors to marvel at their beauty and intricacy.
Situated near the renowned Chand Baori stepwell, Harshat Mata Mandir attracts tourists and pilgrims alike. Its ancient architecture, coupled with its rich history, makes it a popular destination for those seeking to explore India's cultural and spiritual heritage.

Nice Temple near Chand Baori Step Well. Must visit the place if you are visiting Step Well. The View from the temple is good. Mostly you will find this place empty at any time, This is a very old temple so you may find many stones or columns with old artwork. No tickets are required to visit this place. Neat and clean active temple made of black stones. Must visit for Architects and who are interested in Ancient structures.

Temple of 8th-9th century
Idol of Harshad Mata here is new as the ancient one is stolen.
The aura of this temple is something else you heart won't allow you to leave this place.
Too peaceful enviornment, devottes are increasing day by day.
Architecture looks like Gurjar-Pratihar style
Many beautiful artifacts are on the sides of temple.
Once you visit here you would like to come again and again.
Chand Baori is a step well located in Abhaneri village, one hour east from Bhangrah fort towards Agra. It is considered one of the most grand and well-preserved step wells in Rajasthan, featuring thousands of symmetrically arranged stone stairs leading to a cavernous basin. With origins dating back to 800-900 AD, it boasts an impressive history and architecture. The site has also gained popularity as the location where Batman was filmed.

Every Tuesday and Saturday through out year private vehicles are allowed by paying a fee of RS 380 to Hanumanji Mandir and back.

It is lovely place to explore, don't expect much in terms of spotting a Tiger. As Sariska is a huge area and limited tigers are there. As per my recent trips only 12 tigers are there in the whole Sariska Reserve.
But Jeep Safari is enjoyable and much fun. If you are planning to go there, better visit in Summer as Summer is the best time to spot the Tiger.

Sariska tiger reserve booking office is 40 km from Alwar city surrounded by Aravalli tiger range, you can get window ticket 1 hr before safari in case availability of ticket is there after online booking. It opens 6 am in the morning and closes at 11 am after safari, reopens at 1 pm for evening safari.
I had visited the place with my family and daughter during the occasion of diwali.
Safari ticket can be booked from rajasthan.gov.in by following some simple steps.
Make a login by aadhar number mail id and mobile number, then as per availability book the slot of safari, there are two gates sariska and tahela, sariska is the main gate, there are 3 tracks which need to mention during booking.
There is one cafe for snacks and tea/ coffee, one shop for collections of mementoes of sariska. One gallery for information of the birds of animals of this national park, there is toilet and parking facilities, but parking is chargeable 50 Rs. This place is in front of sariska palace decorated for photography, neelgai, sambar deer and spotted dear was found to moving freely in this area.
Be careful for monkeys,

Overall experience is good. If you want zipsy then book it in advance otherwise canter will available. Just check time slots before visiting. Chances of tiger sighting is low but if you have you are lucky enough you can

There are 2 slots for the safari. One at 6:30 and another at 13:30. Gypsies can be only booked online. In-person booking only offers canter vans. It is recommended to book your slot one day prior (if online) or you can book on the same day (if offline).
The safari is of a good 150 to 180 minutes and gypsies offer a better experience than canter vans.

Was a lovely experience because of outstanding hospitality by the entire resort staff who smilingly and eagerly took up all our requests.
Infact this very aspect has made the resort a truly memorable place for us.
The resort features pleasant rooms, a pool, big lawns and a scenic backdrop of the Aravalli mountains.
Another thing which we really enjoyed were all the meals there, which were uniformly excellent. Different cuisines were served. Coupled with this was the very inviting way in which all guests were looked after in the Dining Hall.
Rajasthani folk dance & popular music, a DJ and dance floor and provisions for private bonfires in the lawns made things festive at night.

The lake lies nestled amidst mountains on either side, providing shelter to several exotic species of birds and water creatures like crocodiles. Visitors can witness the breathtaking sunrise over the tranquil waters of the lake while observing different bird species engaging in their morning activities.
One of the best sight scene viewpoints in Alwar District. A very popular weekends gateway for visitors especially in the rainy season and summers.
Boat ⚓ riding Is one of the eye capturing feature here. you can have an amazing boat ride with your friends and family with 8 pax maximum In a boat and enjoy boat riding.
There are a lot of food stalls that are available and serve good quality snacks and beverages outside the lake.
Not so far from Delhi, Gurgaon. You can plan a single day to visit this place and enjoy your weekend or holiday here.

Beautiful lake with serene beauty. Boat ride is strongly recommended. The best part is the boat ride which takes you for a ride around the lake. Entry to the lake is 100 rupees per person and there are different ranges for the boats. The normal boat with a capacity of 08 people costs 1200 rupees for 10 minutes and the speed boats costs 2000 rupees. We did go during the sunset and it was an incredible experience.

Siliserh लेक 🏞️ / 🌄 सिलिसेर Lake - situated between mountain ⛰️ cover from either side and is home to varies 🦆 species of birds / 🐊 crocodile and other water species.
I visited here on a recent trip to Sariska, due to the moutain cover on majority sides the 🌞 sunrise is just beautiful over here.
We got to sight different water 🦚 birds feeding and making activity 🦢 in the morning.
Due to ongoing 🏗️ commercial activity found that there are plastic waste spread on the banks of lake which will cause an impact on this natural heritage which Government and people should take a collaborative cognizance and work together.

Siliserh lake is situated 8 miles southwest of Alwar. It cover an area of about 7 (up to 10 square km with good monsoon) square km and are flanked by dense woodland and cenotaphs on its embankment.
It was Built in 1845 by Maharaja Vinay Singh, the then-ruler of Alwar, by constructing an embankment/bund on tributary of river Ruparel. The lake and the aqueducts that surround it were built to provide water to Alwar. The lake is flanked by its namesake palace, which was built at the king for his wife.Palace is now converted to Rtdc hotel. Boating facility also available.
Tourists generally visit the Neemrana Palace, the Sariska National Park and Jai Samand Lake before or after exploring the beautiful Siliserh Lake.
The lake is about 30 to 40 minutes away from the city of Alwar. There is an entry fee of INR 100 to reach the lake site. Being a tourist place, there is a boating ride also available for the tourists. A typical six-seater motor boat ride can be bought at INR 800 which lasts for about 30 minutes.
Sure, the boat ride if one of the best things to do to enjoy this expansive lake. But, bird watchers can bring their camera to capture the sights of the migratory birds and more species of winged creatures. The lake site generally remains windy and the water is quite clear. The presence of Aravalli Hills in the backdrop of the lake is perfect to enjoy a picnic on a pleasant day out. The lake is also home to crocodiles in some parts; the boatmen ensure they do not ferry the tourists in the reptile-infested areas.
There is a restaurant at the lake site which serves humble Rajasthan cuisine. Also, the palace is also worth visiting. Tourists from Delhi can easily reach Siliserh Lake in about three and a half hours.
The best time to visit the lake site is in the cooler months starting from November to February.

Nestled on the outskirts of Alwar en route to the Sariska Tiger Reserve, offers a captivating experience. The natural lake, cradled by the Aravali hills, presents a mesmerizing panorama.
Rumors of crocodiles add an intriguing element. The RTDC Hotel, Lake Palace, provides comfortable accommodation and dining choices, enhancing the overall stay. The culinary options are commendable, and alternative lodging can be found on the opposite side of the lake.
However, the presence of numerous monkeys, limited parking, and occasional fog obscuring the view are notable drawbacks.

It’s a very beautiful lake just for the purpose of photography. You can go and enjoy. There will be a cost of Rs.400.

UNESCO-listed national park & former Maharajah's hunting ground known for its abundant birdlife.
Heaven for bird lovers. You can spend as much time as you have in the park. Normal people 3-4 hrs. Bird lovers even 10-12 hrs is less.
You have to take rickshaw to view the park (150/hr) or cycle (150/day).
On foot it will be difficult as its 5-6 km one way. 100’s of species of beautiful birds are there including migrating birds which are not easily seen elsewhere.
I spend 8 hrs and came out as i ran out of camera battery. Rickshaw 150*8 = 1200rs but it was worth as rickshaw owners are well knowledgeable and hence no requirement of extra guide which is 250 per hour. Entry is 111 rs. Food options are limited. Two-three canteens which serve chips n drinks. So u can carry your food to help u through out the day.
Pelicans, python, ducks, geese, spotted deer baby were some of the highlights of my trip.
Will go again as it gave lot of freshness and peace away from crowd and hustle bustle of city life.

Beautiful and peaceful place. If you are interested in bird watching then you should go there because there are many migratory birds in winter. Bicycle rides and rickshaw safaris are also available. You can spend a whole day inside the park. The timings are from 6 am to 5.30 pm. If you are from outside Rajasthan, there is a government guest house inside the park where you can stay for cheap rent.

An amazing place ,teeming with gorgeous nature sights, like the wetlands containing myriads of birds like cranes, storks, ducks.
And that's just the start of the trail. The most straight forward trail is almost 13 km long, with several shorter trails branching out.
Its best to reach early morning, 6.30am-ish so one can Bird watch peacefully. After, 8.30am the park gets full of families with idiots screaming "look look ,there is Bird" without knowing what Bird and scaring the birds away in the process.

Absolutely breathtaking, must visit it 2/3 times across the various timings ie early morning, afternoon and evening. Also great if one can spend 2/3 days here.

The best season to visit is in the winter season, and the best time to visit is in the morning.
You can walk, or travel by e-rickshaw or cycle rickshaw.
It is divided into 2 regions, the dry area and the wetlands.

I enjoyed it a lot being it a friends trip. A good place to visit during winters because of the birds season. You can see deer, peacocks, cows, monkeys, different kinds of birds Siberian birds, Ibis, partridge, geese etc. Also if you're lucky then you can catch a glimpse of Python or Anaconda.
Sanctuary has different kinds of vehicles facilities like cycles of two types, e-rickshaws, Jeeps till a point etc. The whole route is around 4-5km and the same for return as well.
Hope this clears some queries. 😊

Awesome place to visit if you want to see beautiful birds and other fauna in their natural habitat.
Guide gave a very nice tour in English. He got us some nice pictures that you would normally only find in a nature documentary.

Though the sanctuary is very big and can be a great destination for nature lovers, maintenance and facilities are not at the par. One need to rent either cycle or rickshaw to cover around 10kms area, which will cost rs. 150 and 600 respectively. The entry tickets are of rs. 125 for indian adults, kids of age till 4 yrs are free. Inside the sanctuary one will find only 1 canteen and 1 or 2 water areas.

Great place a day with nature, birds. Keep your food &water with you.
You may take a bicycle if you love cycling. E -Rickshaw is best. It will take you 2hrs to see the bird century.
Winters is best time to go there.

On November 17, 2024, we visited Keoladeo National Park, traveling by car from Agra to Bharatpur and arriving in the afternoon. We hired both a guide and a battery car for the excursion. While they claimed that a guide was mandatory for those using a battery car, we noticed many individuals exploring without one. Nevertheless, our guide proved to be quite knowledgeable. He brought along an optical lens that allowed us to observe birds up close.
The optimal time to visit is during the winter months (November to January), when numerous birds migrate to the area around October. The park exudes tranquility and serenity, providing a relaxing experience for visitors. Overall, it is a highly recommended destination.

I witnessed a completely natural environment here, least touched by humans. Praise to management that they haven't hampered with natural setting of the place. It's a very beautiful and serene place where you can see what wetland. Lots and lots of bird species, beautiful and rare, migratory and native. The core area is mind blowing where you can see breeding area of birds. It was mind blowing to see numerous types of nest there. Saw kingfisher hunting fishes also.
There's a very beautiful lake also where you can do boating, and it's unlike any other lake you may have seen in hilly areas. It's completely different, so serene and so beautiful lake covered with green / pink algae. It looked like heaven to me .
I fell in love with this place. Will visit again soon.

Just finished exploring Keoladeo National Park, a #UNESCO World Heritage site and protected bird sanctuary. While the park is home to 350 species, I was fortunate to encounter around 150. Witnessing the coexistence of migratory and indigenous birds was truly fascinating. My standout moment was observing the Bar-headed Geese, the only birds capable of flying at 30,000 feet. They embark on an incredible journey from Mongolia to India, crossing over the Himalayas, including Mount Everest. Birds, as the surviving dinosaurs, continue to thrive, and it's awe-inspiring to witness their resilience.

A Paradise for Birdwatchers
The Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary, also known as Keoladeo National Park, is a haven for bird enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. Here's a glimpse into what you can expect:
Avian Extravaganza:
The park boasts over 360 bird species, including migratory birds from Siberia, Europe, and Central Asia. Witnessing the vibrant flocks of painted storks, darters, egrets, and even the elusive Siberian cranes is an unforgettable experience.
Beyond the Birds:
While the birds are the main attraction, the park offers more. Spotting mammals like sambar deer, nilgai, and even pythons adds to the diverse wildlife encounter. The serene water bodies and lush vegetation create a picturesque backdrop for your exploration.
Exploring the Sanctuary:
Cycling, rickshaws, or even electric carts are the preferred modes of exploring the vast park. Hiring a knowledgeable guide is highly recommended. Their expertise in bird calls and hiding spots will significantly enhance your birding experience.
Things to Consider:
Best time to visit: The winter months (November to February) witness the peak migratory season, offering the most diverse birdlife.
Accommodation: From budget guesthouses to luxurious stays, Bharatpur caters to various preferences.
Accessibility: The park is well-connected to major cities like Agra and Jaipur, making it easily accessible.
Overall, the Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary is a must-visit for anyone seeking a unique communion with nature. The breathtaking birdlife, coupled with the serene atmosphere, makes it a truly enriching experience.

As an photography enthusiast, keoladeo national park was in bucket list from long time,but its actual experience was more than just watching birds. cycling on the tracks in natural environment, watching how different birds behave, the scenic beauty, feeling the nature so close.
✓Cycling is for sure a must to experience the park closely without any timings restrictions.

It's Paradise for bird lovers. It's also open for routine tourists too. Guides, bicycles, and e-rickshaws are available at an entry gate on rent to traverese in the national park. If you like nature walks or wildlife, you would love to visit this place. The park is a mix of woodlands, grasslands, wetlands, and lakes. You can spot thousands of water birds in the marshy area of the park. Though recent government norms have changed the rate card, and it might be a bit of an expensive nature trail. Hence, I will definitely suggest checking out the fare before finalizing your plan. If you are alone and can ride a bicycle, then it's pretty cheap to move into the national park.

Beautiful place , the visitors need to keep the place clean as they litter . Even though there are people to do it. People should be taught the importance of preserving one's heritage.

Deeg Palace is undeniably a sight to behold - its grandeur and impeccable maintenance are praiseworthy. However, it's disheartening to see that both locals and tourists don't seem to take care of the place as they should. One particular eyesore is the pond, which has been filled with plastic, causing distress upon sight. Despite this, the overall beauty of the place is undeniable. It's worth a visit for its architectural splendor, but it's crucial that we all do our part to preserve its charm.

This could have been an amazing place but unfortunately not due to low maintenance.
It's called Jal mahal, and Jal was either missing or very dirty.
It's a huge complex, nice garden and a museum.
Accidentally we found this place can be visited while reaching Bharatpur or on way back to Gurgaon via Mumbai expressway. So no need to come here separately from Bharatpur, just while returning from Bharatpur use the maps to reach here. It will take couple of hours max and then carry on your journey back. Lot of time will be saved with this approach, and the place is nearly 1hr drive from Bharatpur.
No entry tickets required, tickets only for museum.
Parking place is limited.

Summer Palace Built By Jat Maharaja Surajmal. Very Beautifully Carved. Though Fountains Need Proper Maintenance. ASI Needs To Look After The Toilets Too.

Jal Mahal without jal. Deeg palace needs to be maintained more. Cleanliness was maintained but the palace walls were deteriorating and walls were scribbled. One can visit for free but tickets are needed for museums . The area outside is not developed according to a tourist place. Mahal is beautiful but needs to be renovated. Sunset looks beautiful from palace.

What a place! What a creation! Something beyond imagination. What heritage we have in India and how thoughtful and creative our ancestors were!
This is a must visit place for one and all. But the heart breaking scene was maintenance of the lake / pond surrounding which made us really feel pitty thinking the Raja who made this would not keep this ponded boundary in such shabby condition. And for this only govt can't do all as the local people also have to take the initiative of keeping it clean and dirt free. Packet of chips, bottles and what not were scene inside that black water! I request all the visitors to please keep this in mind that this place belongs to us, the Indians and we can't ruin it this way.
If get a chance, shall visit again. Photography inside the museums are not allowed hence posting pics of outside areas. Rs. 50 for adults and no ticket for kids below 15 years age. Definitely visit and enjoy the beauty.

Best place for tym waste. If you are a local person, then you may go here to spend your free, but you come from outside only for visit here, than you shouldn't choose it.

Lovely palace. The palace is well kept considering the extremely low price of tickets. Entry to lawns is actually free. You only need tickets if you want to go inside the palace buildings.
Lots of places for photography as well. The palace has alot of beautifully designed buildings and is surrounded by a lake on one side. Alot of greenery as well. Definitely consider it for a visit if you are nearby.
You'll easily end up spending 2-3 hours.
