Group of Baroli Temples in Rawatbhata, Rajasthan - ancient temples. Good tourist spot for temple lovers.

It is one of the oldest temple and archeological side in Rajasthan. It was constructed during 10-11th century.. It is located just outskirt the city of Rawatbhata when you are coming from kota ,you don’t need to enter the Rawatbhata, You will find them just 3 km before the city. It is such a peaceful place.Must go place.

Baroli Temples – Ancient Indian Artitecture Group of 9-11 temples are placed here from around 11th century. This complex is so beautifully decorated with decorative trees & flowering plants & along with the ancient & historic look of the temples, the overall effect is divine. Such exquisitely carved idols & rock cut structures are rarely found anywhere. Most disheartening thing is that some idols & brutally damaged by invaders centuries ago & it's beyond repair. This place is still missing from the outer side of the country. It can be developed as a tourist destination. Very huge & marvelous structures can be seen here. It must be protected for future generations. Highly recommended ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Baroli Temples Complex, also known as the Badoli temples, is located in Baroli village in Rawatbhata City in Chittorgarh district of Rajasthan, India. The complex of eight temples is situated within a walled enclosure; an additional temple is about 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) away. They are built in the Gurjara Pratihara style of temple architecture dated to the tenth century A.D. All nine temples are under the control of the Archaeological Survey of India for conservation and protection. A well known art critic characterised "the creations of Badoli as the most perfect of their age that he had encountered within that part of the country and, in their own peculiar style." Though the history of the Baroli Temples is not very clear, they are reported to have been built during the Gurjara-Pratihara Empire in the 10th–11th centuries. They are one of the earliest temple complexes in Rajasthan. A carved stone image of the god Nataraja was stolen from the Baroli temple complex in 1998. It has been traced to a private collector in London. However, the statue has now been recovered. The 10th-century Baroli Temples are of great architectural interest, consisting of temple structures built in the Gurjara-Pratihara architectural style, with exquisitely carved stonework. They are in differing stages of upkeep, with some in a semi-ruined state. There are 8 major temples in Baroli and a ninth about one kilometre away. Four temples are dedicated to Shiva (including Ghateshwara Mahadeva Temple), two to Durga and one each to Shiva-Trimurti, Vishnu and Ganesha. The Nataraja (Natesha) images carved in these temples are similar to those seen at Upramala. The sculpture has 16 arms and its headdress is matted. There is a large diadem carved at the centre top of the skull, which is "garnished with beaded swags." The facial features are very fine, with high arched brows and full mouth. Great Day Well Spent ❤️ Just Loved this place 💕

9th Century Group of Temples with splendid stone carvings and architecture. The architecture here resembles temples in orissa. We reached here randomly on the way to Mukundra Hills National Park. But it was a good find. Very well maintained and clean. The ASI officer on the gate was very kind enough to explain us about the monuments and history of the place.

Old Mahadev temple. Secret unexplored location.

Best mahadev temple in bundi “Beautiful Lake in the heart of Bundi” A lake in the heart of Bundi city that adds to the beauty of the landscape when viewed from Taragarh Fort. The lake is dedicated to Lord Varuna (Hindu Water God). There is a temple in the middle of the lake that was half submerged when we visited. We had a mesmerising view of the lake from the Fort. Near the lake, there is also a palace where the kings of Bundi shifted from the main palace after 1947 when Indian got free (Probably, it was difficult to maintain such a big palace in the Fort with all the powers to collect and raise revenue were gone so the kings decided to shift to a smaller palace). Nawal Sagar is surely a gem in the beauty of Bundi and a treat to your eyes.

Best mall in kota. Don't miss the lower ground floor for bargain shopping. McD, domino's, subway, burger King.. are all there..

The mall is located in rhe heart of the Kota city, providing better services. We can find all the households requirements, also it's a good place for entertainment purpose. Also good for kids and children. Location is very Good. Traffic is too much outside of this mall. Parking is not Good. increase Parking space. Lot of Stores here for Clothes, toys, Gaming Zone, food Court, home Appliances and many more. Hotel also available here and cinemas here

This place is awesome and also fun activities are available. The apple store and relience digital is placed , there service is good. You can also watch new movie in there theatre.

Giving one star due to bad services of reliance store। I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the service, processes, and lack of proper monitoring at your store in Kota. During my recent visit, I purchased several items, but the overall experience was highly disappointing. The invoicing and gate-out procedures were extremely inefficient. Specifically, between 3rd july 2025, 5:30 PM and 6:30 PM, during the item verification process at the exit gate (which opens inside the mall), I inadvertently left behind two umbrellas. Upon realizing this within 30 minutes, I immediately contacted the store. However, I was informed that the items were no longer in their possession. This suggests a severe lapse in monitoring and security within the premises. Furthermore, the staff displayed a lack of professionalism and competence, which further exacerbated the situation. I expect better service standards, especially concerning customer care and loss prevention measures. I urge you to address these issues promptly to prevent similar incidents in the future. I would appreciate a response regarding the steps you plan to take to improve your processes and service quality.

Awesome experience here you can spend a whole day here without getting bored.

We had a great as well as bad experience there : 1. The garden is so big and I love it. 2. Bad experience was we had to go there 3 time because of rain and confusion also , we went there especially for chambal safari but we didn't find any ticket counter & then we got to know we have to pre-book it through online , then we did call to that agency for booking but they refused saying it's late now & saying you have to book earlier . so the timing was at 5 pm so we need to book tickets earlier at 3pm or u can also book in evening for tomorrow morning for 5 am safari & the charges are 2000 per person if you are four person and charges are 1800 per person if you are group of count 6.

It was a nice, well maintained kind of a garden with replicas of seven wonders though all of them are not included in the list. Situated at Kishore sagar lake in Kota. IT provides a good view, a cafeteria and a nice place for wandering. Ticket prices are ₹20-/Adult.

It’s right by the lake and has small replicas of famous wonders like the Taj Mahal, Leaning Tower of Giza, pyramids. It’s good for a casual walk, taking pictures. It is not very well maintained. & Nothing too fancy, but a nice spot if you’re in Kota

A must visit if you are in Kota, great for young kids. Visited 7 Wonders Park after a while. Disappointed with the overall upkeep and housekeeping of this one of a kind tourist attraction in Kota. There is weed growing on Statue of Liberty and The Pyramid. The entire premises and the monuments are poorly lit. Didn't see enough security personnel in the park which is another big concern A humble request to the authorities to take action and restore the beauty and glory of this landmark

An 18th century stepwell in the middle of a boisterous marketplace in Bundi. Just another ill-maintained historical landmark bearing the testimony of govt. negligence. Despite having an entry ticket and covering up the underground stepwell, they still can't prevent the entry of pigeons littering and ruining sanity of the place. One of the 3 must-visits in Bundi..

It was a great place, but it is covered , blocking the sky view and aura. The water deep down has not been cleaned since ages. Situated in the centre of market. Worth visiting as on of the very few stepwells where you could go till the last step

Rani Ji Ki Baori is truly one of the finest examples of Bundi’s 17th-century architecture. This intricately designed stepwell once served as a vital water source for the town, and today it stands as a remarkable reminder of Bundi’s rich heritage. The craftsmanship is stunning, and it’s certainly worth a visit if you’re exploring the city. Entry is included in a composite ticket (Rs. 75 for Indian adults, with different rates for students and foreign nationals), which also covers Sukh Mahal (with the Bundi Museum) and the Cenotaph with 84 Pillars, making it a great value for sightseeing. Advance online booking is not required, so access is simple. That said, it is disheartening to see how little maintenance and preservation work is being done despite the entry fee. Such a significant historical site deserves far more care and upkeep. With proper attention, it could shine even brighter as a cultural landmark.

Its a good place, it will take around 1hr to visit this place. Cleanliness is not upto the mark.

There is a an Histotical bawri. These are used in ancient time to store water for daily uses. It showa great level of architecture, it show how we are rich in our cultural heritage. But one this , to see this 55 per person is very costly.. In mine view there should be no entry fee or it should not be more then 10 rupees.

Don' t visit the place during raining season Is better in april may when its complitely dry. Because the place have 100 step and in september i didn see any. What no i understand why they don't close the place during raining season instead than charge 205 rupies for nothing or put a properly roof and make a museum instead than let him get full of water. Why always have to be a mess in india. Indian governament take care only about fast economy growing. Not take care about heritage or environment.

Beautifully decorated baori, not able to explore all the floors as it was completely filled with water, it has decorated pillars, hangings, and idols,

Taragarh Fort in Bundi, Rajasthan, is a mesmerizing historical site that showcases the grandeur of Rajput architecture. Perched atop a steep hill, the fort offers breathtaking panoramic views of Bundi city and the surrounding landscape. Built in the 14th century by the Chauhan rulers, Taragarh Fort is known for its massive gates, intricate carvings, and impressive battlements. One of the highlights of the fort is the Bhim Burj, a giant cannon platform that reflects the strategic importance of the structure. The tunnels inside the fort add an element of mystery, while the reservoirs carved out of rock display the advanced water management system of that era. Although the fort is in a partially ruined state, it still retains its old-world charm. The trek to the fort is a bit challenging but completely worth it for history lovers and adventure seekers. It is advisable to visit early in the morning or late in the afternoon to avoid the heat. There are no commercial shops inside, so carrying water and snacks is recommended. Overall, Taragarh Fort is a must-visit for anyone interested in history, architecture, and stunning scenic views.

I recently visited Bundi Fort Palace, and it was truly one of the highlights of my trip. The fort and palace stand majestically above the town, and the first thing that struck me was the sheer scale and beauty of the architecture. The intricate murals, detailed frescoes, and the old-world charm of the palace give you a sense of stepping back in time. The palace interiors, especially the “Chitrashala” (painting gallery), are absolutely mesmerizing with their well-preserved miniature paintings that depict scenes from royal life and mythology. It feels like an open history book. The panoramic view of Bundi town from the fort walls is breathtaking — blue houses, lakes, and rolling hills all in one frame. That said, the palace is not fully restored, and parts of it show signs of neglect. Some areas are locked or not easily accessible, and you can clearly see how time has weathered the structures. But in a way, that adds to its authenticity and untouched charm. If you’re someone who enjoys exploring heritage sites that are not overly commercialized, this place is a gem. I’d recommend hiring a local guide — it really enriches the experience since there’s so much fascinating history that you’d otherwise miss. The climb up can be a little tiring, so wear comfortable shoes and carry water. Overall: Bundi Fort Palace is a must-visit for history and culture lovers. It’s quieter and less crowded than many other forts in Rajasthan, making it feel special and personal. A hidden treasure that deserves more recognition.

Garh Palace & Taragarh Fort is a magnificent landmark in Bundi, offering a deep glimpse into Rajasthan’s rich heritage. The complex is vast, with many beautiful sections like Hathi Pole, Ratan Daulat, Chatar Mahal, Phool Mahal, Badal Mahal, and the stunning Chitra Shala. The lower part, Garh Palace, and the upper Taragarh Fort together showcase the grandeur of Rajput architecture, untouched by Mughal influence. The palace was originally built in the 17th century and later expanded with additions like Chattar Mahal and Badal Mahal. It once served as the royal residence of Bundi’s rulers and still carries that regal charm today. What makes it especially impressive is how well it was constructed on such a steep incline centuries ago. Entry tickets are reasonably priced (Rs. 100 for Indian adults, with separate charges for cameras), and parking is available just outside. The visiting hours are from 8 AM to 6 PM. Do note that the climb to the fort is steep and at times slippery, so wearing trekking shoes is highly recommended. Carry enough drinking water, wear comfortable clothes, and use sun protection for a pleasant experience. While the palace is mostly intact, it does need some upkeep, and a stone staircase with railings would make it more accessible for senior visitors. That said, it’s absolutely worth visiting if you appreciate ancient architecture and want to experience the charm of Bundi’s history firsthand. Please note that the ticket to Kshar Bagh is included in this same ticket.

Garh Palace, Bundi – A Regal Echo of Rajasthan's Glorious Past Built by: Rao Raja Ratan Singh and his successors. Entry Fee: Indian Nationals - ₹80 to ₹100 Foreign Nationals - ₹500 to ₹600 1. Architecture – A Rajput Marvel Garh Palace reflects the finest traditions of Rajput Architecture. Tall sandstone walls, intricately carved pillars, multilevel courtyards, and beautifully arched gateways define its structure. Unlike other palaces that lean heavily on symmetry, Garh Palace flows with the natural slope of the hill, making it unique and organically majestic. 2. Chitrashala – The Soul of the Palace The heart of Garh Palace lies in its Chitrashala (Hall of Paintings). This section is a painter’s paradise and a connoisseur’s delight. The walls and ceilings are adorned with vibrant miniature paintings depicting scenes from: A. The life of Lord Krishna – his raas-leela, childhood pranks, and divine plays. B. Romantic tales of Radha-Krishna and Rajasthani women. C. Royal court scenes, festivals, monsoon celebrations, and more. These paintings, primarily done in hues of blue and green, are still intact and untouched by time or modern restoration, giving them an authentic aura. 3. Palatial Sections – Each with a Story Badal Mahal (Palace of Clouds): Built at a height, it gives the feeling of living amidst clouds. Phool Mahal (Palace of Flowers): Used for private moments, decorated with floral patterns. Chhatra Mahal: Richly adorned with frescoes and mirror work, reflecting royal taste. Ratan Daulat: A stable complex built with strategic design, showing the military wisdom of the rulers. 4. Cultural and Historical Importance Garh Palace was not merely a royal residence. It was a center of art, literature, and governance. The Maharanas of Bundi patronized artists, poets, and scholars, making the palace a cultural hub during its golden age. Even today, the spiritual and royal vibration can be felt in its silent corridors. 5. Atmosphere and Experience Climbing up the sloping pathways to the palace feels like ascending into history. The peaceful ambiance, chirping birds, and occasional breeze whisper tales of valor and romance. The view of Bundi city below, with its blue houses and serene lake, adds magic to the experience. Conclusion: Garh Palace is not just to be seen—it is to be felt. It captures the soul of Bundi with its silent grace and artistic depth. For lovers of history, art, and royal India, this palace is a must-visit gem. Travel Tip: Visit early in the morning or late afternoon for better light and fewer crowds. Don't miss the Chitrashala, and if possible, hire a local guide to uncover hidden stories.

just amazing experience must visit after all bundi’s head

It is a beautiful fort and palace but needs a lot of walking / sort of trekking up and down and even the on the slopes.

Simply wow!! The palace tour was awesome. Full of art collections & magnificent architecture selecting our Indian cultures. Just one piece of advice for 1st time visitors: always move in with a guide here, he will take you to the tour brilliantly explaining all the story & facts behind .

The great fort of Bundi known as Taragarh Fort is lying in a rather dilapated condition today. Approx 1/4th part has been restored and made open to public. The fort walls encircle the entire hill. If restored, it can be a great walk along the high walls of the fort. Ticket price for Indian is 100 INR. There is parking in front of the fort. From the ticket counter and through the main gate, it is a steep wall of 200 meters to the main Hathi Pol gate. As only a limited part of the fort is open, you need to follow a certain route to explore the fort, manned by guards. The view of Bundi town from the fort is beautiful. Badal Mahal is the most beautiful section where you can enjoy the remnants of original Rajputana paintings. Lot of gates installed to ensure no one wanders off in No entry sections. Hope ASI and GoI thinks to restore this fort, symbol of valour of the Hadouti kingdom.

Taragarh Fort and Garh Palace are truly remarkable architectural landmarks, and the fact that they share a common entry ticket makes the visit even more worthwhile. Garh Palace sits at the bottom of the hill, while Taragarh Fort crowns the top, offering a unique combination of history and scenic views. The entry fee for Indian adults is Rs. 100 (different for students and foreign nationals), with an extra charge for digital cameras. The sites are open from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, and the ticket also includes access to Kshar Bagh. There is convenient vehicle parking just before the fort entrance, and toilet facilities are available at the main gate. The climb to the fort is steep with uneven terrain, so comfortable footwear like trekking shoes is highly recommended. Carrying water, sun protection, and wearing light clothing makes the experience much easier. Unfortunately, the main Taragarh Fort area was closed during our visit due to the presence of a tigress from the nearby forest, but even from outside, the fort walls glowing a golden yellow after dark were absolutely stunning, a sight worth waiting for. One suggestion for improvement would be to add a natural stone staircase with a railing along the pathway. This would make the climb safer and more comfortable for visitors. Overall, it’s a fascinating place with a lot of heritage and charm, definitely worth exploring.

Taragarh Fort is a hidden gem in Bundi, Rajasthan, that surpasses the beauty of its more popular counterparts. Despite its understated charm, this stunning fort remains off the beaten path, making it a must-visit for those seeking an authentic experience. Although it lacks the attention and maintenance it deserves, Taragarh Fort's raw beauty and serene surroundings make it a standout destination. If you're in Bundi or Rajasthan, do yourself a favor and add this fort to your itinerary – you won't regret it!

Beautiful fort and palace. Probably worth having a guide but easy to wander. Nice abandoned vibe.

About 20 minute hike through the slope and steps. Carry water bottle. Winter and post monsoon season is best. Amazing views from both side of hill. Old palace and water harvesting wells constructed. Govt must renovate the heritage and increase amenities.. Must go to the back side for lake and tower view

very beautiful fort looks so beautiful during the night also. must visit place , people of bundi are also very good

Really nice place to visit if you're fond of visiting the monuments. This fort is made for exploring the ancient architect. You have be ready for climbing up to the top as its way higher than you think but yes, view from top is literally mesmerizing. Get handy water bottle(s) to stay hydrated. Fort gets opened by 0800 IST.

NO Keys are available there as no person sitting there. Keys of the fort kept by some Hada Family. I went from KOTA to see the fort but Key person was unavailable. 100% Bad experience there for public places !

Indragarh Fort, located near Sawai Madhopur in Bundi, Rajasthan, was built in the seventeenth century by Indersal Singh Hada. Perched atop a hill, the fort is a unique structure featuring a single gate with four smaller doors, showcasing the architectural ingenuity of its time. Though much of the fort has fallen into ruins, its remaining palaces and temples offer a glimpse into its former grandeur. Intricate carvings adorn the walls and bastions, reflecting the artistic craftsmanship of the era. From its vantage point, visitors are treated to panoramic views of Bundi city and its picturesque step wells. Exploring Indragarh Fort provides a journey through history, allowing visitors to imagine the lives of the rulers who once resided within its walls. However, the lack of maintenance has contributed to its current dilapidated state. Visitors often describe the experience as serene and awe-inspiring. Some have noted encountering challenges, such as monkey dominance, which can hinder exploration of the entire fort. Despite this, the fort's rich history, stunning architecture, and breathtaking views make it a memorable destination for those seeking to connect with Rajasthan's cultural heritage.

In ruins now. Access road is narrow but possible to reach by car. Looks beautiful from outside

Beautiful from outside !!!

This is a very beautiful fort.. Connected to history is a unique piece of art... The construction work has been done very closely in it but due to lack of care in the present time, it is now becoming ruins. #IndergarhFort #Datia

Amazing experience! We were the only two people in this age old fort when visited. Amazing experience, views and feeling. Couldn't explore the entire fort due to monkey dominance though.

Very nice view, as well as food quality, superb room service. must visit again. bathroom amenities are very gud, this is best stoppage between ranthomber and kota bundi. surrounding view is look likes jungel. Many many thanx to indergarh fort and hotel staff.

Idea of boat ride is excellent but calling it a river cruise was a not a fit with limited sightings of animals 9 to 10 only , poor quality or non cruise boat, no meal or drinks. 3 stars for the River, Idea of commercializations and nice and humble local boatman cum guide. Around 800 rupees person for the boat ride seems too high for the fun. Though I don’t mind contributing towards the upkeep of the place if there is any existing process besides just a ticketing booth to cash the opportunity. Some suggestions 1. Should bring better quality boats. 2. Green boats, either manual or electric as the tourism will grow the diesel and petrol boats will kill the ecosystem around especially the river water. 3. A play place for kids or adults like water slides etc can justify the long drive of hours to just have a simple boat ride. 4. A local cuisine restaurant celebrating the place.

The experience there is incredible. If one is visiting ranthambhore national park then its a must visit also as it is just 1 hour drive from railway station. Very offbeat place. Nature is at its very best, you will get to see lot of gharials and crocodile there.

Had A Unique Wildlife Experience The National Chambal Gharial Sanctuary offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of gharials, crocodiles, and diverse riverine wildlife. Boat safaris provide excellent opportunities for viewing these incredible reptiles and numerous bird species in their natural habitat. The serene riverine environment and conservation efforts make this a worthwhile and unique experience. Knowledgeable guides enhance the visit. A must for wildlife enthusiasts!

It's new opened safari on the river. Te chambal river as goof population of alligator and crocodile, so easily visible. Best time to visit is winter when water receeds and the reptiles come out of water for sun bathing.

Its upto your luck that you will see the crocodile or alligator however the boat ride make everything better with your loved ones.

Never seen a river like that in India. Absolutely amazing place and clean river. We went there in the afternoon and the cool breeze never let us feel the scorching sun.

Must visit , it’s close to ranthambore safari .keep a watch on time as they will try to give you a shorter boat ride than what you have paid for. Don’t forget to carry your student iCard to get some discount. If you in a group of 7-8 person then you will get your own boat else you will get with others and might have to wait for seats to get full. Visit during day time and you will get to see alligators and crocodiles both.

We went on a safari in Zone 2 of Ranthambore during the monsoon season, and the weather added a dramatic and beautiful atmosphere to the forest. Despite the rain, we were incredibly lucky to spot three tigers, which was an unforgettable experience and made the trip worthwhile. The natural beauty and thrill of the jungle were truly remarkable. However, the experience was dampened by the behavior of our guide and driver. Unfortunately, they were rude and unprofessional, and to our surprise, they asked for extra money at the end of the safari, which left us feeling uncomfortable. It’s disappointing when such a special experience is marred by a lack of courtesy and transparency. Overall, the wildlife and setting were outstanding, but the service and conduct of the staff need serious improvement. I’d recommend the safari for nature and wildlife lovers but advise being cautious and clear about expectations beforehand

Ganesh temple located at the top of a hill inside the world heritage Ranthambore fort There are many steps to the temple along the fort, so though the journey is scenic, it can be challenging for elderly.

This is a divine experience. Darshan is so calming and peaceful. It’s a little long walk along the fort to reach here but it’s worth the walk. There are monkeys here so be a bit careful with flowers and food/ Prasad. There is long queue during key days else it isn’t too crowded. Maintained well.

Our first tiger safari was very enjoyable but we did not see a tiger. They were spotted by forest ranges near us but with it being just after the wet monsoon period it’s very green and beautiful with lots of long grass for tigers to hide. It also means there’s many places for them to and their prey to drink so they are spread out a lot. We still enjoyed it and our guide and driver are excellent and really trying. We didn’t see a sloth, leopard or jackal either. We saw deer, boars, monkeys many bird type including peacocks and eagles. Hopefully we will see a tiger. I was very grateful that we got to go to Zone 5 in the park as it’s entrave is only 15min from Aman-I-khas luxury tented camp which is the best place to stay in the area. I have had problems with my eye retinas detaching so it’s quite a risk on these bumpy roads. I really hope we get another close zone tomorrow and see a tiger. It will be our only trip to India and it took so long to get to the national park. I will update after tomorrow’s safari.

It's a picturesque national park of about 1800sq km, but it may be vast but feels intimate and beautiful with mountains & lakes. We came to see a tiger and after three visits we were unlucky. But luckily we did see a black bear and lots of birds and dear..Great time dispite the road at times.

I went on a safari each through zones 1, 2 and 3 and was lucky enough to see a tiger on 2 of the safaris. There is a real variety of wildlife and each zone has such different scenery. I loved my time here and can't recommend it enough!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An unforgettable experience at Ranthambhor National Park! My visit to Ranthambhor was truly a dream for nature and wildlife lovers. The jungle atmosphere, early morning safaris, and the excitement of spotting tigers and other animals made it an unforgettable adventure. The forest guides were knowledgeable and passionate, making the safari experience smooth and well-organized. As a photography enthusiast, I was amazed by the natural light, landscapes, and wildlife moments — from majestic tigers to rare birds. Every turn in the park offered something worth capturing. The overall hospitality and arrangements around the park were excellent too. Highly recommended for anyone who loves nature, wildlife, and photography — Ranthambhor is pure magic! 🐅📸🌿 All safari bookings are booked through government website. Or can contact hotels for booking assistance.

Visited zone 3 which Is known for higher chances of Tiger sightseeing and luckily we spotted one in the morning safari. We booked canter and was a good experience . It's a 20 seater open truck.. Route being same for Jeep and Canter.. Zone 3 is also famous for its lakes. Two of them being Rajbagh Lake and Padam Lake..also has beautiful Hunting palace and Johri mahal which is very picturesqueanda gives the heritage touch

Not worth, went there end of October, morning and evening safari, didn't see any tigers and neither did any of the people we met at our hotel. There was not much to look at otherwise, we were falling asleep the whole 3 hours on each safari ride. The safari booking is basically only possible though a hotel which will rip you off big time for it. On the ticket is says 1600 INR per person in canter. I think you just need to be extremely lucky. I doubt that the people in jeeps saw anything. If there was a tiger to see they would see it from more close up but that's it. It's 1700 square meters of park, 10 zones, they always take you to just one. Total of 69 tiger. Count your chances. Like you might be right next to it and not see it because there is a bush. Simply overhyped. There's trash too. UPDATE: went to Kaziranga in Assam and saw a tiger 3 times, out of our 3 safari rides (we were lucky but still), the national park is waaay better.

Ranthambore National Park 🐅🌿 is a paradise for wildlife lovers! Each zone offers stunning scenery—lakes, hills, forts, and beautiful forests. Tiger sightings are common in Zones 2, 3, and 4, and many visitors get lucky early in the morning 🌅🐅. Even if you don’t spot a tiger, you’ll still enjoy deer, crocodiles, monkeys, peacocks, and tons of colorful birds 🦌🦚🐊. Safaris are well-organized with trained guides, but a gypsy is always a better choice than a canter for photography and viewing comfort 🚙📸. Water bottles are a must, as safaris can be long and dusty 💧. The atmosphere is thrilling yet peaceful, and the landscapes—especially Zone 3 at sunset—are breathtaking ❤️🌄. Though some days can be crowded or strict with rules, the experience is unforgettable. Overall, Ranthambore is a must-visit for anyone who loves nature, wildlife, and adventure ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Bookings are done through the official government website or via your hotel.

In 30 years of backpacking this unquestionably been the most hideous place I have ever stayed. No running water, no ac, dirty sheets, beds akin to a lumpy pallet, smelly towels, the toilet doesn’t flush, no working power sockets, there’s more bugs than a tropical rainforest and the food belongs in a 1920’s prison. Warm beer, no ice, zero help from the staff. The scenery is nice however I would not set foot anywhere near Fort Madogarh. If there was a negative number to give on a review I would be giving minus figures.

This incredible boutique hotel is actually a 500 year old fort in a rural Rajastan. It is next to a small village where you can walk and meet the lovely villagers and school children. In the fort the rooms are all different and comfortable. The views over the villages beyond are staggering. Food is very good and the western breakfast is very tasty. Try the masala omelette its excellent. The owners come and provide a brief history of the fort which is very interesting. Well worth an overnight stay.

Stayed as part of an intrepid tour. Ok so it's old, quirky and has a few very minor issues related to that, but all in all a superb stay. We were blessed by having a fabulous group and leader, which definitively helped the experience. Staying in November was a perfect time/ temp for English travellers

Fantastic stay as part of our Intrepid tour. We stayed in room 101, the best room. We enjoyed dinner in the courtyard and a Sunrise breakfast on the rooftop. We spoke with the owner and toured the local village. A must see

This is a beautiful old fort and we were happy to have the opportunity to stay there. This is not a luxury hotel with everything working perfectly, but it is a charming place where the owners were very eager to make our stay special.

Location is great. Service, room quality and food need a lot improvement.... If things maintained, This property may grace the traveller's.

What a unique experience. The facilities are old and wonderful. The service great. Stay longer than one night to explore.

A visit in February was disappointing. Almost no monkeys and the kinds ( pools) were filthy. The management of the complex need to make visitors feel welcome. You buy a ticket to go into a valley that needs a lot of cleaning up, proper signage and guides to explain what we can see and do.

It is a nice complex of temples that offers a view of the city id you come from the side where the Sun temple is. But as some of the reviews pointed there is a rather weird payment system. They charge you for a camera but yet they do not charge you for the phone. Many of the latest models of phones have much better camera than mine. Anyways, the guys taking payments don't look anything like authorities. Totally contrary they just casually sit and ask you for money. On the "receipt" that they give you they handwrite the price so there are no "rules" for how much you pay. We were there with friendly local and he did warn us about those practices. So there are weird mafia-like practices going on and everyone knows about it. Local not paying it is quite normal in India the prices for locals are usually around 10% of foreign prices or non. Which is fair taking into account economy of the country. On the second thought I just remember that on my way back there were 3 young guys that were rather aggressive towards me and tried really hard to get their hands on my camera. Summing up, the place is interesting and worth visiting. Yet, it needs more care taken of and security, as there are some shady business going on. Go see it, with a group and a local guy and don't miss the sunset from the Sun temple.

The temple of monkeys was one of the most interesting visits in Jaipur. We were almost the only tourists that morning, which helped improving the experience. Be ready for the many monkeys and quite a lot of trash, but please do enjoy the different temples, façades, etc. You’ll find people performing diverse rituals. And if you keep climbing towards the Sun Temple, you’ll have magnificent views of Jaipur.

Overall nice buildings, carvings were beautiful

This is a highly sacred pilgrimage with great historical significance.The temple complex is renowned for its stunning architectural design. Engaging with spiritual devotees can enhance your experience.

Galta Kund in Jaipur, Rajasthan, is an absolute marvel that left me enchanted. This hidden gem, also known as the "Monkey Temple," boasts a mesmerizing blend of natural beauty and historical significance. Nestled amidst the scenic Aravalli Hills, Galta Kund offers breathtaking views that transport you to a world of tranquility. The sacred pool, encircled by magnificent temples and adorned with intricate carvings, exudes a serene ambiance that is truly captivating. The presence of playful monkeys adds an extra touch of charm. Whether you seek spiritual solace or simply want to revel in the beauty of nature, Galta Kund is a must-visit destination that will leave you awe-inspired.

Very nice place. And some very nice buildings. The water is beautiful. It's about an 15min walk before you reach the temple but it's worth it. The monkeys are cool, but be careful if you are carrying food. They will approach you if you they smell something.

The temple is a gorgeously located near a hilly area and hence there is no access to the main shrine. You will find monkeys lingering around in enormous numbers. A wonderful experience is ensured. It seems difficult to get a cab here. Hence it is recommended to take necessary precautions. The premises were not very clean during my visit.

Amazing geography and architecture, the temple is set in between the mountains. Vibe is immaculate - people singing and playing music and swimming in the holy water. Great place to see and feed monkeys (they're Macaques). Paid entry and you can get a guide. It was also very cool here as the breeze flows between the mountains. Note that the monkeys are given so many bananas that they sometimes won't eat them. Our guide used salty chips, which the monkeys loved.

Unfortunately would not recommend. While it was lovely to see all of the monkeys roaming around, for a popular tourist attraction the temple was not well looked after and there was trash everywhere, arguably the most littered temple I’ve been to so far in India. Quite sad to see all of the monkeys and other animals eating the rubbish that was in the river, which ruined the entire experience. The people that work here are only there to get your money, they commented that the rubbish situation was awful but had no incentive to clear up. There were no bins anywhere either, which would have significantly helped. There is an additional charge to take pictures, which costs more than the entrance ticket and is an outright scam!. Hope someone with authority sees this comment and decides to take action. Very disappointing.

This was one of my favorite sights in Jaipur! We came early in the morning at sunrise and it was a magical experience. We were the only tourists and it was a magnificent sight. The sunrise was beautiful and the swarm of monkeys that suddenly came was cool. The monkeys were adorable and very playful. I can recommend this place to anyone that want a great experience! The cost is 50 INR for each camera you bring. Same price for foreigners as for locals. Word of warning: The locals will try to get you into their shrines there is scattered around and then pressure you for money.

The temple is crowded of people and monkeys. And the monkeys are a little bit friendly and it's better to bring something with you for them and have fun with monkeys. But, the temple isn't Clean and it's a noisy place. And there is no connection there so it's better to go with your driver

The monkeys here for the most part are very friendly. They may climb on you to get food so only carry small amounts in hand at a time. Peanuts are sold outside the temple and right before the entrance. You will typically be asked for an offering to see the different shrines within the temple, 50-100 rupees for each of the 6 or so shrines is enough, but you can of course give more if you wish. View from the highest shrine is very nice, and if you're short on time they will bring you up on a bike which will save you the hike time. In the first main pool try to catch the monkeys doing cannonballs from the roof down into the water.

A spectacular structure, this magnificent temple is built in pink sandstone, amidst low hills, and is structured to look more like a palace or 'haveli' than a traditional temple. The Galta Monkey Temple has a back-drop of gorgeous landscape and Aravilli Hills. This impressive building is ornamented by painted walls, adorned by rounded roofs and pillars, which is unique in its own. Unfortunately, the premises is not well maintained or much preserved; sadly one can find litter/trash scattered around.

Amer Fort, perched on the rugged Aravalli hills of Jaipur, is one of those places that instantly pulls you back into the grandeur of Rajasthan’s royal era. The moment you enter the main gate, the Sheesh Mahal’s shimmer, the intricate Rajput-Mughal designs, and the vast courtyards begin telling centuries-old stories of valor and elegance. The fort is massive yet beautifully detailed—every arch, jharokha, and pillar feels handcrafted with devotion. The Diwan-e-Aam, Ganesh Pol, and the breathtaking mirror work inside the palace are the true highlights. From the top, you get an incredible panoramic view of Maota Lake and the surrounding hills, making it a perfect spot for photography and peaceful reflection. Even with the crowds, Amer Fort maintains a calm, regal vibe. The light-and-sound show in the evening is also worth experiencing, as it beautifully narrates the fort’s rich history. Whether you're a history lover, architecture enthusiast, or simply someone who enjoys exploring majestic places, Amer Fort is a destination you shouldn’t miss. It’s not just a monument—it’s a timeless symbol of Rajput glory and artistic brilliance. A must-visit gem of Jaipur!

The fort is one of the beautiful forts i have seen but if you are visiting this fort, you must wear sport-shoes as you have to walk around 8-10 km within the fort. Also, as the fort is having history with jodha bai, i recommend to take guide with you(200 rs charges). Also, elephant ride is available at the starting point to reach to the main gate of the mahel i.e chand pole.

went to amber palace, taking a jeep to get to the top of the castle. the visit was truly amazing because i had no expectations. there were lots of couples shooting for their wedding. there are so many hidden photo spots. the garden was beautifully managed and the castles (esp sheesh mahal, the mirror castle) were very intact and fascinating. if i had to choose only two spots to visit in the northern india i would choose taj mahal and amber palace.

Busy place, but really beautifull. To many people try to sell you stuff, be your guide or want to take pictures for money. Pretty annoying, you could not take one or two steps without being bothered, so -1 for that. The place itself had a lot of information signs, beautifull corners and places to Explorer or take pictures. But it was way to busy. We sometimes had to wait before we could walk up a stairs and taking a picture was not possible in some places. -1 for that. (Probably better if you can avoid the weekends!) The price was kind of alright 500 irp for International tourist. 100 per person for Indian, 20 per person for Indian Students, 150 per person for Foreign Students. In the end a place with great history and beauty.

Absolutely stunning place to be. It literally gave me goosebumps when i took the first glance at Amer Fort. Parking area is clean, helpful people there. A pro tip, please wear sports shoes as you have to walk a lot. Also, hire a guide if you really wanted to know the history of the Fort and king. Otherwise it's fine to roam around, click photos and adoring the historical architectural beauty. Don't try to go to Jaigarh from secret tunnel. It is 1.5km long and you will feel drained after that. Just go to Amer and then visit Jaigarh and Nahargarh by car. You need whole day for these forts, so plan accordingly.

Amber palace is the best and must to visit place in Jaipur. On weekends there is heavy rush on this fort. It took us almost one hour to reach parking area of fort. The fort ia very nice architectural monument. The Diwan e Khas or Shish mahal is the main attraction of Ambet fort. There are other areas like Diwan e Aam, King's bathroom, various rooms are also nice to see.

The magnificient Amer palace looks majestic on top of a hill. The view from below the hill is mindblowing. The road to the palace is narrow and crowded,but the palace is worth the time spent navigating and reaching the palace. You will get to see the kingly palace, its gardens,fountains, huge halls and hallways, the kings bath etc etc. Be ready to spend good amount of time here. Its the main attraction of jaipur city. There are enough gaurds and security to help us around with directions. Hire a good guide if you wanto explore the history of Amer palace.

No words to express the community harmony of this place.. Although it's a jain temple but people's of all faith specially Adiwasi used to visit and offering prayers here. Good arrangements a Dharamshala with all facilities and amenities available.. very rich quality food at reasonable rates. Offer Total peace with spiritual feelings. A hear touching stay, specially in Summer vacation.

Famous jain temple dedicated to last tirthankar Shree Mahaveerji, This is historic Idol which is too attractive and chamtkarik. There is near by other good jain temple’s too. You must book online room here before coming for ease of stay.

Shri Mahavir Ji Temple, Karauli Jain temples are some of the most famous temples in Rajasthan. One of these is Shri Mahavir Ji Temple, located in the Karauli district in Rajasthan. However, even though the name may suggest otherwise, there are five temples in this temple complex. Each is as grand and splendid as the other in terms of architecture and magnificence. The five temples are Atishaya Kshetra Shri Mahavirji, Bhagwan Parshvanath Jinalaya, Shantinath Jinalaya and Kirti Ashram Chaityalaya. There is something special about each of these temples. At the Atishaya Kshetra Temple, the Manastambha, also known as the Column of Pride, is the main attraction. Standing at almost 52ft, it is topped by Tirthankaras staring in four directions. The Bhagan Jinalaya Temple is also called kaanch ka mandir (temple of mirrors), because of its spectacular mirror work. The Shantinath Jinalaya is most famous for its 32 ft statue of Shantinath (the 16th Jain Tirthankar).There are five temples in Shri Mahavirji. Atishaya Kshetra Shri Mahavirji is considered one of the miraculous pilgrimages of Jains. This pilgrimage is situated at banks of Gambhir river in Hindaun Block of Karauli district, Rajasthan.[3][4] Built at the bank of a river, this pilgrimage is a prominent centre of devotion for Digambar Jain devotees. Chandanpur Mahavirji temple is hailed as the heart of pilgrimages. The temple is visited by millions of Jain and Hindu devotees every year.[5] The temple trust extends various charitable and philanthropic services such as a dispensary, aushadhalaya (pharmacy), school, library, rehabilitation centre, promotion and extension of education, cultural and literary activities, scholarships, and research and study in Prakrit language.[5] The temple also has a naturopathy and yoga centre.[6] History edit The temple was constructed by a Digambar Jain merchant, Shri Amar Chand Bilala, in the 17th century upon the discovery of the idol of Mahavira.[7][5][8] This is a sacred place of the tradition of Jainism. Mahavirji also had a Bhattaraka seat which became defunct in 1970.[9] Discovery of the Idol edit The famous idol of Mahavira at Shri Mahavirji The main temple contains the statue of the lord Mahavira and along with idols of other Tirthankaras.[8] The 'Mulnayak pratima' (main statue) is nearly 78 centimetres (2.56 ft) high and is carved out of sandstone. In this statue lord Mahavira is sitting in padmasana posture.[10] The iconic idol of Lord Mahavira, the principal deity of the pilgrimage temple, was found during an excavation. It was later found to be more than 1000 years old. A Gurjar dairy farmer named Krapa Ram noticed that one of his cows was always dry of milk. When cow belonging used to pour out its milk every day upon a mound near Chandanpur village. It was surprising for the owner of that cow and the villagers. They excavated the mound and found the idol of lord Mahaveer. The villagers dedicated themselves to building a small hut over the idol where the idol was found. The place is now known as devata-ka tilla or chharan chatri. The news of the miracles idol spread and a Jain merchant, Shri Amar Chand Bilala visited the site and realised that it was a Jain idol. The King of Jaipur tried to execute the merchant but was saved by the miracles of the idol. Shri Amar Chand Bilala constructed a vast & magnificent temple here.[7] According to legends, while trying to move the idol on a chariot to the temple constructed a few yards from the excavation site, the chariot did not move. Amar Chand Bilala prayed for the idol to move and the god replied that the chariot will move when Krapa Ram pushes the cart. At the site where the idol was excavated a small shrine chharan chatri with the representation of the footprint of the deity was constructed. The shrine is still managed by the family of Krapa RamShri Mahavir Ji Temple, Karauli Jain temples are some of the most famous temples in Rajasthan. One of these is Shri Mahavir Ji Temple, located in the Karauli district in Rajasthan. However, even though the name may suggest otherwis

A peaceful and serene place to visit! Shri Mahavir Ji is a beautiful Digambar Jain temple that offers a calm atmosphere for prayer and reflection. The morning Abhishekh for Bhagwan Shri Mahavir Ji starts exactly at 6:30 AM, so be sure to arrive on time to be part of this special ritual. For men, dhotis and dupattas are provided, but you’ll need to take a shower in the changing room before wearing them, even if you've already showered before coming to the temple. It’s a small thing but helps maintain the temple’s cleanliness and sanctity. The Dharamshala has plenty of rooms to rest, with both AC and non-AC options. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and clean, making it easy to relax after a visit to the temple. Overall, it’s a perfect place to connect with your spirituality and find some peace. Highly recommend visiting!

Must visit the Dhyan Kendra below the main temple. There are many extreme valuable gems based statues. There are fixed timings for the to visit the same.

Please don't visit this place if you have plans to stay. Everyone needs double money and money for each and everything. There is no committee just for name a board is hanged that yes we are the committee. Jab zarurat padi na kisi ne call uthaye na hamari baat sunne ki koshish ki raat bhr hum bahar bethe rahe bina room ke par koi puchne ni aaya. Please don't trust the committee!

Divine, postive energy all around! A must visit for every Jain. The carvings and sayings around the temple are also very good and a must read.

Bhangarh Fort is a fascinating historical site with incredible architecture and stories that take you back in time. The fort complex is vast, with ample parking available, and local Hindi-speaking guides at the entrance make the visit more engaging with their tales of history and folklore. The entry ticket for Indian guests is very reasonable at just ₹25. While the fort’s upkeep could be better—with limited maintenance, no clean washrooms, and monkeys freely roaming around—the charm of the ruins and the atmosphere more than make up for it. A must-visit for history and heritage lovers.

★★Description★★ ​Bhangarh Fort, located in the Alwar district of Rajasthan, is widely known as the "Most Haunted Place in India". Constructed in the 17th century by Raja Madho Singh, the fort once stood as a thriving town with palaces, temples, and a bustling marketplace, all showcasing a blend of Rajput and Mughal architecture. However, its prosperity was short-lived, with its ruins now shrouded in chilling local legends, most famously involving a sorcerer's curse on the beautiful Princess Ratnavati and an ascetic, Guru Balu Nath, whose condition about the fort's shadow was violated. The Archaeological Survey of India has legally prohibited entry into the fort premises after sunset and before sunrise due to its infamous reputation. Despite the eerie atmosphere and desolate nature of the ruins, Bhangarh remains a significant historical site and a major attraction for thrill-seekers and paranormal enthusiasts. ★★★ After visit, I think this wonderful place is one of the best forts in Rajasthan in case of ambiance. ★ No haunted activity is there. All forts of Rajasthan are closed at 6:30 PM (Plus minus 30 minutes for sun light). Inside this fort few number of leopards are found after sunset ( Source local people and Shop owner). Entry fees 25 rupees for Indian.(Cash Payment) Online Payment 20 rupees. A must visit palce in Rajasthan.

The place is claimed to be haunted but during the day of course there are no spooky vibes. In fact it's like just another fort. ASI renovation and restoration is going on. The guides tell intresting stories and it is recommended to hire one. Be careful of what you pay them since there in always scope of bargaining. There is nothing which offers anything to eat or drink within the fort and hence carry your own water. There is natural aquifier system with a baori or a stepwell which is intresting. The fort in itself is not very large and can be covered in 1-2 hours. Views after climbing to the top roof are impressive and give you the layout of the market, approach, fort walls and the temples within the fort. Cleanliness is a big issue and within the fort there is too much litter which we the citizenry have created. Approach is ok ok as it's a state highway. Beautiful views of the arravalis

Firstly, visit the place before sunset or reach not later than 4 in the evening because the guard will suggest doing it quickly. By the time I reached there, it was closed (5 o'clock in the evening), so I just conversed with the guards; they were very friendly, and there was a Hanuman temple at the entrance. The whole vibe was different. I was very excited to be there, and my sister was feeling low at the same time.

🏰 Bhangarh Fort, Rajasthan – A Perfect Blend of History, Mystery & Natural Beauty 🙇‍♂️✨ I visited Bhangarh Fort on 27th June 2025, and my first reaction was — “Wow!” 🤩 This fascinating place truly feels like stepping into a living legend, where ancient stories whisper through every wall and corridor 📜💫.

"I recently visited Bhangarh Fort and was thoroughly impressed by its rich history and stunning architecture. The fort's unique blend of Hindu and Islamic styles is a testament to the region's cultural heritage. The panoramic views of the surrounding landscape from the royal palace are breathtaking. While the fort's haunted reputation adds an element of excitement, I didn't experience anything paranormal during my visit. The guides were knowledgeable and shared interesting stories about the fort's history and legends. The fort is well-maintained, and the temples and palaces are still intact. I recommend visiting during the winter months (November to February) for the best experience. Be prepared for a moderate hike and wear comfortable shoes. Overall, Bhangarh Fort is a must-visit destination for history buffs, architecture enthusiasts, and anyone looking for a unique experience. I'm glad I had the opportunity to explore this incredible piece of India's past."

It was good to visit over there and diving into the history of Bhangarh fort. While going to the top there was a small area which was stinging too much due to the presence of bats. Good to go during October - April. Nature beauty is there and pics also come ausmn. If it is raining then do go in rubber slippers because you will confront the water coming from the nearby water falls.

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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Majestic Gateway of Faith and Mughal Grandeur! Buland Darwaza at Fatehpur Sikri is one of the grandest gateways in the world and a remarkable symbol of Mughal victory and devotion. Built by Emperor Akbar in 1601 AD after his conquest of Gujarat, it stands at a height of about 54 meters and forms the majestic entrance to the Jama Masjid complex. The Persian inscriptions and artistic stonework reflect Akbar’s deep sense of faith and power. Inside the complex, you’ll find several important monuments — the Jama Masjid, the sacred Tomb (Dargah) of Sheikh Salim Chishti, Badshahi Darwaza, Shahi Darwaza, and smaller courtyards and prayer halls, each filled with Mughal artistry and spiritual calm. The Salim Chishti Dargah, made of pure white marble, is a serene and spiritual place where people come for didar (holy sight) and to tie sacred threads with their wishes. The peace and divinity here are truly heart-touching. During evening or night hours, the entire complex looks even more enchanting — the Buland Darwaza glows under soft golden lights, and the white dargah shines beautifully, creating a magical and divine atmosphere. A must-visit place that perfectly blends history, spirituality, and architecture — a true jewel of Mughal India.

This place has free entry, but you must remove your shoes before entering. There’s a gentleman on the left who will look after your shoes for 10 rupees. The main annoyance here is the guides — they will constantly approach you, insisting that you hire them. Some even start giving explanations as if you’ve already agreed to pay. To avoid this, firmly say no from the start and ignore them completely, otherwise they’ll drain your energy. If you plan to visit the Panch Mahal afterward, retrieve your shoes and carry them through the King’s Gate. After about 200 meters, you’ll reach the ticket booth for Panch Mahal. For visitors with physical challenges, it’s better to enter through the King’s Gate as it avoids the stairs at the main entrance. Inside the Buland Darwaza, sellers will try to sell you souvenirs, but I found the prices quite high compared to other places in India — so it’s up to you. Overall, this was my least enjoyable experience in the Agra–Fatehpur area, mainly because of the aggressive guides. The one we hired said his fee was 200 rupees, but at the end he demanded extra tips, and we ended up paying him 500 rupees.

Buland Darwaza, located in Fatehpur Sikri, Agra, India, is the highest gateway in the world and a magnificent example of Mughal architecture.

The structure combines Persian, Indian, and Central Asian architectural styles, reflecting Akbar's cultural tolerance. Visitors can explore the gateway, climb its 42 steps, and enjoy panoramic views.

Absolutely stunning Akhbari architecture. Although not the biggest fan of taking off my shoes considering it wasn't so clean inside. I will say that if you are tourist, expect to get chased and harrased by every local wanting to be your tour guide.

Must visit place. Remarkable ancient architecture . You will be thrilled after knowing the historical importance of this place. Perfectly maintained by government. Ticket price is low. Beware of scams going there by locals. Contact government officials around you for every authentic information.

No reviews needed. Both historically and religiously, the place has its own value. Come and visit the place to show your respect to Sheikh Salim Chisti and experience the mighty mughal architecture. The place used as the shooting spot of many famous flims

I Do not recommend any tourist to Visit this place as it is full of Scammers. These Scammer first face themselves as tour guides and then force you to buy from local hawkers a 50 rs chaddar for 2000Rs also these Scammers look violent wierd type and make you forcefully pay for unnecessary things you will feel that you have got into a trapped and you will try to pay and get out from this place and later regret why you entered at first place.

The tomb is of the Sufi saint, Salim Chisti, made of white marble, within the Jama Masjid's courtyard. Inside the tomb is the grave of the saint.

Vibe is nice. Architecture is great. It is a must-visit. The complex is big. Never buy any antique here as all are fake. The only thing that you must be aware of is the Chaddar Scam. Don't pay hefty money to anyone for a Chaddar. If you hire a guide, tell him not to take you to anyone selling chaddar. Tell him to just show you the places and make you aware of it. No pressure to offer chaddar if you don't want it by your heart. I wanted to offer a chaddar, So I negotiated and paid 500 for the chaddar.

DON'T GET FOOLED BY LOCALS TO OFFER COSTLY CHADAR . Salim Chishti Dargah is a serene and spiritual haven in Fatehpur Sikri. The marble tomb is intricately designed, reflecting the rich Mughal architecture. The peaceful ambiance invites you to pause and reflect. It's a must-visit for history buffs and those seeking tranquility. The local guides are knowledgeable and enhance the experience with fascinating stories. Remember to be respectful and cover your head as a mark of reverence.

The architecture is stunning, and its historical context is compelling. Please be aware of potential scams.

The place is OK, but a bit of a tourist trap. After paying an entry fee, you still have to pay for the bus to the entrance after that you are more or less forced to "buy an offering," which varies from 1000 to 5000 irp. After you have done this, you are told that this was not really necessary. In other words, a tourist rip-off. Overall, I would happily have skipped this place.

Best time to visit during winter early morning or evening. The place has wide rangw of birds. You can explore this place either on bicycle, on foot or on rickshaw. Best mode to explore is on bicycle as you can explore all the lanes. At the end other end there is a temple plus a cafe which is quite affordable. You will have to pay entry fee and bicycle rent. You take a guided tour where the guide will help you understand the birds migration pattern and how to best identify or locate the birds. Overall its good to visit one time.

A UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the world's premier bird breeding and feeding grounds, formerly known as the Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary. This 2,873-hectare man-made wetland is a crucial wintering site for migratory waterfowl from across Asia and hosts hundreds of bird species, including rare and threatened ones. The park protects a rich array of flora and fauna, with features including woodlands, grasslands, and rivers, and is a major tourist destination for ornithologists and birdwatchers.

Once in a lifetime experience. Truly deserves it's tag of a UNESCO World Heritage site. Bicycles are the best mode for exploring the sanctuary. Hidden Gem of Rajasthan!! Do read about the birds before visiting and winters are the best time to visit.

Must visit place if in Bharatpur. Entry free of 150, take a Electric Cycle for 150/- for 4 hours, best way to explore this beautiful santury. When i visit led it was off season so no tourist, loved the quite and peace and the entore nature. Its spread accross 30kms. Explore as much as u can in the early morning. Carry enough water and fruits for yourself. Soo many different species of birds and animals here to experience.

My photography journey started here. This place is a meditation center for nature lovers. There is magic in almost everywhere you look!! Just make sure you enter 6:30am and explore on bicycle..

Awesome place for nature lovers, bikes available at 60 rs, bring your own water, ample parking space, and benches. I think Tracks are shortened for some reason only 8-10 km

Nice place for one day trip to view different types of birds.

Great historical place to visit and explore old architecture design of India. No unwanted people wandering around only authorised people are allowed inside the palace on weekdays no one will interrupt your experience

Panch Mahal is a palace in Fatehpur Sikri, Uttar Pradesh, India. The Panch Mahal meaning 'Five level Palace' was commissioned by Akbar. This structure stands close to the Zenana quarters which supports the supposition that it was used for entertainment and relaxation. The pavilion gives a majestic view of the fort that lies on its left. The pool in front of the Panch Mahal is called the Anoop Talab. It would have been filled with water, save for the bridge, and would have been the setting for musical concerts and other entertainment. The ground floor has 84 columns, the first story has 56 columns and the second and third stories have 20 and 12 columns respectively. The topmost story has 4 columns supporting a chhattri. There are 176 columns in all and each is elegantly carved pillars with unique designs.

Just fell in love with the beauty of place. It's more like a watch tower for the king from where he enjoy the evening breeze and took glance of his kingdom.

The Panch Mahal in Fatehpur Sikri is truly stunning! Its unique five-storey design and open structure are amazing to see in person.

Love the architecture and the story behind this building. Its significance is really crazy.

The Diwan-e-Khas is a beautifully designed structure with intricate carvings and architectural brilliance, its really beautiful. It served as a place for private meetings, discussions, and audiences with select dignitaries and courtiers during Akbar's rule. The central pillar, adorned with floral motifs and geometric patterns, supports the circular platform where the Emperor Akbar's throne was placed. There is no wait, no restrictions in pictography.

Incredible (and at least to our knowledge underrated) site of ancient Moghul capital. Perfectly preserved with several amazing building scattered around a huge complex is another spectacular monument to the grandeur of this dynasty.

Very beautiful monument. Very different from the Delhi and Agra fort. Great architecture ,a must see place.

It is one of the most important structures inside the Fatehpur Sikri Fort. This building has intricately carved pillars. It has a unique platform which is raised.

Kusum Sarovar is one of the most scenic and peaceful stops during the Govardhan Parikrama. Unlike other places along the route, it’s not a temple but more of a historic and tourist-friendly site with beautiful architecture and a serene vibe. It’s a great place to relax for a bit, soak in the calm atmosphere, and click some stunning photos — especially during sunset. Entry is free, and the place isn’t usually too crowded, which adds to the charm. If you’re doing the parikrama or visiting the area, definitely stop here — it’s a visual treat!

Located near Govardhan Hill in Mathura, Kusum Sarovar is a serene and sacred water reservoir with deep historical and spiritual significance. This picturesque spot is surrounded by steps leading down to the water, creating a tranquil environment perfect for reflection and devotion. The name "Kusum" means flowers, and it is believed that Radha would come here to collect flowers and secretly meet Krishna. Kusum Sarovar was constructed by Raja Maan Singh, a prominent figure in Indian history, in memory of his father, Maharaja Suraj Mal. The architectural beauty of the cenotaphs and the intricate carvings on the walls are a testament to the craftsmanship of that era. The site also features beautiful paintings depicting the divine pastimes of Radha and Krishna, adding to its spiritual allure. Currently, Kusum Sarovar is closed to visitors due to recent tragic incidents involving suicides. This closure is a precautionary measure to ensure safety and address the situation appropriately. Despite this, Kusum Sarovar remains a significant historical and spiritual landmark, and it is hoped that it will reopen soon for devotees and tourists to experience its serene beauty and historical richness.

A hidden gem near Govardhan peaceful, historic, and spiritually uplifting. Perfect for a quiet escape with stunning architecture and serene vibes. The sunset here is magical. A must visit place.

Very beautiful place and in the night it just look majestic. But in night you won't be allowed to enter this place also I went there in monsoon so lot of bugs and mosquitos was there but still I managed to click awesome pictures.

Good place for spending quality time . Less crowded. Be aware of monkeys as they can come anytime in large numbers . Also a good place for photography. My suggestion is to visit this place in daytime as their is no lights in the main complex . Morning time is best as you can see sunrise as well as no temperature problem.

This place is a joyful thing to experience. The Sarovar and the fort like structures around it. The Sarovar is very big with structures extending within it. As you go to the opposite side of the entrance, you experience the fort. Again there is a temple whose structure looks more intricate to me than some footprint it holds. I believe this is the only historical thing people need to see in this region.

Kusum sarovar is a very beautiful place .This place has a huge mahal surrounded with water. After getting tired because of parikrama this place will definitely soothe you. Early mornings and evening time is the best to visit this place, but be careful if you come with children. Many bollywood movies shooted here.And this is one of best place for pre wedding shoot.

Shri Radha Rani Temple, Barsana — A Divine Abode of Love and Devotion 🌸 Visiting Shri Radha Rani Temple in Barsana is not just a trip, it’s a soulful experience filled with divine energy and eternal love. Situated atop the beautiful Maan Garh Hill, this sacred temple is dedicated to Goddess Radha, the beloved of Lord Krishna. It is believed to be her birthplace, and every corner of this holy town vibrates with her divine presence. The climb to the temple through hundreds of stairs is a spiritual journey in itself. As you ascend, the entire Barsana town unfolds before your eyes like a divine painting. The architecture of the temple is simply breathtaking — made of red and yellow sandstone, it beautifully reflects the essence of Rajasthani art and ancient heritage. Inside the sanctum, the idols of Radha Rani and Lord Krishna radiate a heavenly aura that touches your heart. The chants of “Radhe Radhe” echo through the air, filling your mind with peace and devotion. The temple becomes even more magical during Holi — especially the world-famous Lathmar Holi of Barsana, where thousands of devotees gather to celebrate divine love. The atmosphere during Radhashtami is equally mesmerizing, with devotees from across the country arriving to seek Radha Rani’s blessings. Every moment here feels blissful — from the enchanting evening aarti to the cool breeze carrying the fragrance of devotion. Shri Radha Rani Temple is truly a heavenly destination, where you don’t just visit, you feel the presence of divine love. Highly recommended for everyone seeking peace, spirituality, and an unforgettable divine experience. 🙏

Visiting the Radha Rani Temple in Barsana was a truly divine and memorable experience. The temple stands gracefully on a high mountain, offering stunning views of the entire town. We reached there by car and later returned quickly on bikes through the cool night breeze—it felt thrilling and peaceful at the same time. Walking up the steep, sloppy road to the temple was a bit tiring but completely worth it. The divine aura of Radha Rani at the top filled our hearts with devotion and calmness. Radhe Radhe !

The Shri Radha Rani Temple in Barsana is one of the most spiritually powerful places in Braj. The energy here is truly divine, you can feel the presence of Radha Rani the moment you climb the steps. According to the scriptures, this is the sacred hill where Radha Rani, the beloved of Lord Krishna, spent her childhood. It is believed that Barsana represents Shri Radha’s home, and visiting here is considered one of the holiest experiences in Braj Dham. Darshan is very peaceful and beautiful if you go on a weekday, especially early morning or early afternoon. During weekends or festivals, the rush becomes uncontrollable, it’s not safe or comfortable to bring small children. Ab thoda practical part, place bahut bheed bhara rehta hai. Local hawkers aur touts har jagah milenge, sab apna product ya service bechne ki koshish karte hain. Be alert, bahut log tourist ko confuse karke paisa nikalne ki koshish karte hain. Mobile phone, wallet, ya koi expensive cheez leke mat jao, pickpocketing common hai. Also, do not drink lassi or eat anything from random stalls, zyadatar fake products hote hain aur quality kharab hoti hai. Carry plenty of small change because literally every second person will ask for donation or bhiksha. Overall, darshan of Radha Rani is absolutely divine, but everything outside the temple feels like a chaos zone. If you go with devotion and awareness, it’s a spiritually uplifting visit.

Fantastic place here rope way system is also available to reach on hill then main temple of Radha rani which is really mind blowing. Sometimes it's a little bit crowded but the radha nam satsang was amazing. If you're able to climb then enjoy and climb with happiness with chanting radha radha.

Place is why Barsana is famous for. Takes 20 mins to climb by stairs to the temple or you can opt for ropeway. Don't depend on management, you have to take care of yourself and your family on your own. Better to wait of its heavily crowded. First darshan of the day starts at 5:30am for mangla Aarti. There is no ticket for entry to the temple

Shri Radha Rani Temple, also known as Ladli Ji Mandir, is one of the most divine and spiritually charged places in Braj. The temple stands beautifully on Brahmachal Hill, and just below the main steps lies Shri Radha Janmsthan, believed to be the exact birthplace of Radha Rani. Visiting both places together gives an unforgettable divine experience — you can truly feel Radha Rani’s presence here. 🌸✨ The narrow galiyaan of Barsana are full of devotion, colors, and chants of “Radhe Radhe”. As you walk up to the temple, the peaceful atmosphere and the view from the top fill you with calmness and joy. The vibe here is pure Braj bhakti — full of love and devotion towards Radha–Krishna. 💫 Nearby, you can also visit Maan Mandir, Kirti Mandir (Radha Rani’s mother’s temple), and Rangili Mahal, each place holding a unique story of divine love. Barsana is not just a town — it’s a living memory of Radha–Krishna’s leela, where every corner feels alive with their presence. If you want to experience true peace and divine connection, Radha Rani Temple and Janmsthan in Barsana are must-visit places. 🙏💖

Visiting the Radharani Temple in Barsana was a truly wonderful experience. I would highly recommend having your own means of transportation if you are travelling with family. There is ample parking available, though on special occasions you can expect long queues. The walk to the temple is comfortable and not too tiring, but do watch your step on the stairs. It took us about 10 to 15 minutes to get inside and have the darshan, which was quite reasonable for the month of October, just before Diwali. I have heard that at other times the temple can be very crowded, so it is best to plan your visit accordingly. Once you are at the temple, there is also a fort nearby that you can easily walk to. Overall, it was a divine and peaceful experience.
