Wonderful experience. One of the best jungle safari. Guide was really nice. Carry water with you on safari as it gets really hot during this time of the year on afternoons rides. There are two different times one in morning and other one in afternoon. Please check timings before coming to safari gate.

Good place to visit in summers. Do carry waterbottle while going in canter/gypsy. Canter price around 700 something for indian person. One local guide will be available in canter. Online booking can be done one day prior.
Priyanka B — Google review
Overall experience was good. If you want gypsy then book it in advance otherwise canter will be available. Check time slots before visiting. Chances of tiger sighting is low but if you are lucky enough you can sight tiger
Mohit Y — Google review
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.
Rushabh Y — Google review
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.
Rahul S — Google review
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,

Bhangarh Fort

Mentioned on 
3 lists 
Fortress
Sights & Landmarks
Bhangarh Fort is a historic complex with the remains of Hindu temples, royal palaces, and tombs. Located about 90 km from Jaipur, it is maintained by the Archaeological Survey of India and the state government. Despite its reputation as one of India's most haunted places, visitors have found it to be a well-constructed and beautifully designed fort. The interior buildings are poorly maintained in some areas, but guides are available to explain the fort's history.
A must visit place while visiting Jaipur. Bhangarh Fort is an absolutely beautiful and mesmerizing place to visit! The fort is surrounded by hills on three sides, offering stunning open views and fresh, clean air all around. The area is very neat and well-maintained. On the way to the fort, there’s an old abandoned market about 300 meters long, the ancient ruins give a glimpse into history. The path is lined with huge old banyan trees whose vines touch the ground and form new roots, which looks magical. Inside and around the fort, there are several ancient temples, monkeys, and even peacocks roaming freely. The views from the fort are breathtaking, especially in the morning or late afternoon. Some inner chambers have a strong smell because of bats hanging from the ceilings, so it’s hard to go inside. Overall, Bhangarh Fort is peaceful, scenic, and full of history. Definitely worth visiting if you love heritage and nature.
GAURAV K — Google review
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.
SAIKAT M — Google review
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
Ajit B — Google review
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 📜💫. The fort’s majestic architecture, mysterious aura, and stunning natural surroundings gave me absolute goosebumps 🥶🛕. The path leading to the fort is beautifully lined with old banyan trees 🌳, their hanging vines creating an enchanting, almost magical atmosphere. Inside the fort, you’ll discover centuries-old temples, playful monkeys, and elegant peacocks moving freely 🐒🦚. The view from the top is breathtaking — especially during sunrise or sunset 🌄😍. Some inner chambers have a distinct smell and are home to bats 🦇, adding to the fort’s eerie and mysterious vibe 👻. No wonder it’s often called “the most haunted place in India” — every corner tells a silent tale from the past ⏳💀. Surrounded by the majestic Aravalli Hills ⛰️🌿, Bhangarh Fort offers a perfect mix of peace and thrill — ideal for history lovers, photographers, and adventure seekers 🔮📸✨. ⭐ Overall: A mesmerizing fusion of history, nature, and mystery — truly a must-visit destination for anyone craving an unforgettable experience in Rajasthan 🔥🔥🌟🙌🏻
Rahul S — Google review
"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."
Harish M — Google review
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.

Elefantastic - Elephant Wildlife Sanctuary

Mentioned on 
1 list 
Nature & Parks
Camping farm
Elefantastic is a sanctuary in Haathi Gaon, India, where Asian elephants are lovingly cared for and not made to work. Visitors can enjoy unique experiences like feeding, walking, and washing the elephants. The staff warmly welcomes guests and introduces them to each elephant. It's a must-visit for animal lovers who want to bond with these gentle creatures without riding them. The place offers an extraordinary opportunity to witness the love and care provided to these once mistreated animals.
Please do NOT ride an elephant as a tourist in India. Instead come here and have an amazing experience from start to finish. Could possibly be the best thing we did in our three weeks here. You must book in advance. After we were treated to beautiful Indian hospitality and had a meal at someone’s home. Very delicious. Everyone is super caring and wonderful.

If you have come to Jaipur then definitely visit this place because if you do not go to this place then you will forget the real enjoyment of Jaipur.This place is a very beautiful place. You will find many elephants here. You can spend your time with those elephants here. You can feed some food to those elephants. You can enjoy with those elephants. You can take selfies with those elephants, you can do anything. You can shake your hand with those elephants. You must come here and see elephants.

Pick up and drop off at our hotel was smooth. Lunch was delicious. The experience at the sanctuary was lively - staff were friendly, each elephant had an employee with them, we asked the employee questions and he was very knowledgeable. The elephants looked happy and healthy.

The greatest experience so far! The place, the staff, the environment and the lunch was just amazing! You really feel that this is a family-company who have been working for this in a lot of generations. Great stories about the elephants and great work for saving the population of elephants in India! I really can recommend this experience for everyone not matter gender, age or interests! Thanks for having us! We already miss lucky.

I visited Elefantastic – Elephant Wildlife Sanctuary with my family, and it was a truly amazing experience. My kids enjoyed it a lot—they were excited to see elephants of all sizes, from small to large. The sanctuary feels safe, well-maintained, and very family-friendly. The staff is knowledgeable and caring, making the whole visit enjoyable and educational. It’s a beautiful place to spend time with nature and learn more about these gentle giants. A memorable experience for all of us

This is an incredible and genuine experience! If you want to have a close-up encounter with an elephant and not the cruel elephant rides at Amber Fort, this is the place to go. Here, elephants have been rescued from bad treatment and are truly happy. The people here truly care for the animals and give you lots of time to pet, scratch, cuddle, and walk the elephants. The entire staff is really friendly, the atmosphere is relaxed, and within 3 hours there is plenty of time to bond with your elephant. In my case it was Padma, a really sweet girl. Afterwards, we had a delicious lunch prepared by the owner's mother. Not only is she a fantastic cook but a very sweet lady, who makes you feel welcome at her home. It gives this experience another special personal touch. Everybody on this trip makes you feel at home, starting from the very friendly driver to the handlers of the animals to the guide who gives you detailed information about the elephants and the owner and his mother. A big recommendation if you want to stay away from the commercial road-side elephant experiences and still want to interact with the animals. Short note: Here is only the location of the office and booking service. The experience takes place near Amber Fort at a large open area where there is enough space for the elephants.

Ele Village in Jaipur offers a wonderful and heartwarming experience for animal and nature lovers. It’s a place where visitors can interact with elephants in a safe, ethical, and caring environment. You can feed, paint (with natural colors), and even walk with these gentle giants while learning about their habits and history. The staff is very friendly, knowledgeable, and ensures the elephants are treated with love and respect. The surroundings are clean and peaceful, making it a perfect family activity. Visiting Ele Village is both educational and unforgettable — a truly unique experience in Jaipur! 🐘💛✨

Elefantastic, an ethical elephant sanctuary in Jaipur, India! A big recommendation if you want to spend some quality time with the Rescued Gentle Giants of India. I'm from Philippines and I was so scared of these giants until I met Sampa and other gentle giants here in Jaipur. This is an incredible and genuine experience! If you want to have a close-up encounter with an elephant and not the cruel elephant rides at Amer Fort, this is the place to go. The people here truly care for the animals and give you lots of time to pet, cuddle, and walk the elephants. In my case it was Sampa, a really sweet old girl. I think the oldest of all. Afterwards, we had a delicious lunch prepared by the owner's mother. Not only is she a fantastic cook but a very sweet lady. Everybody on this trip makes you feel at home, starting from the very friendly driver to the handlers of the animals to the guide who gives you detailed information about the elephants and the owner and his mother.

Amber Palace

Mentioned on 
+53 other lists 
Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Amber Palace, also known as Amer Fort, is a stunning architectural marvel located in Jaipur, Rajasthan. This magnificent fort showcases a blend of Hindu and Muslim design elements, making it a unique cultural landmark. Visitors can enjoy elephant rides that add to the enchanting experience of exploring this historical site. The fort's intricate structures are built from various colored stones—milk white, light yellow, rose red, and pure white—which give it an amber-like appearance from afar.
Amer Fort – A Living Painting on the Hill Amer Fort isn’t just a monument — it’s like walking into a moving painting of Rajasthan’s royal past. Built by Raja Man Singh I in 1592 and later expanded by Mirza Raja Jai Singh I, the fort stands proudly on the Aravalli hills, watching over the calm Maota Lake below. The first sight itself is unforgettable — elephants walking up the cobbled path, the Suraj Pol gate glowing in sunlight, and the reflection of the fort in the lake making it look double beautiful. In the middle of that lake lies Kesar Kyari Bagh, a star-shaped garden built on a small island. Centuries ago, the royals planted saffron here, and the queens admired it from the palace balconies. Even today, it looks like a silent secret floating in time. Inside the fort, the Sheesh Mahal (Mirror Palace) steals your heart. One small flame lights up hundreds of tiny mirrors — pure magic without electricity! The planning of water channels, cooling systems, and hidden passages shows how smart ancient engineers were. Amer was once a defence fort but feels more like an art gallery of the Rajput spirit. Managed today by the Government of Rajasthan, it remains beautifully preserved. If you ever visit Jaipur, don’t rush. Sit near Maota Lake at sunset, watch the fort turn golden, and you’ll feel that history here doesn’t sleep — it just shines quietly.
Dineshsingh C — Google review
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.
Gracy B — Google review
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.
Mayur K — Google review
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.

Sheesh Mahal, also known as the Mirror Palace, is a stunning pavilion within Amber Fort that was once used by the imperial family. The palace is renowned for its intricate mirror work, featuring traditional motifs and lotus designs adorning thousands of small mirrors. It is said that even the light from a single candle could illuminate the entire Sheesh Mahal. This historical gem served as the backdrop for iconic scenes in Bollywood films and has become a popular spot for visitors seeking Instagram-worthy photos.
It should be the first place on the itinerary if you're planning to visit Jaipur. It will take minimum an hour to explore and if you prefer to click and capture photos along with it. Consider a minimum of 2-3 hours. You might find several points inside the fort of interest and photo friendly. If you wish to know its history consider a guide otherwise check YouTube plenty of people have described about it before.

Sheesh Mahal at Amber Fort is a spectacular sight, with its intricate mirror work and stunning architecture that truly showcases Mughal craftsmanship. However, the experience can be a bit overwhelming because there are too many vendors constantly approaching tourists to sell goods or services. Despite that, the historical significance and sheer beauty of the place make it well worth a visit, earning it a solid 4-star rating.
Denali — Google review
The Sheesh Mahal, located within the Amber Fort complex, is a must-visit destination for tourists visiting Jaipur. Dubbed as “The Palace of Mirrors”, it exudes opulence and extravagance with its intricate setting of precious stones and mirror work on walls and ceilings. Built in 1727 by Maharaja Man Singh, the palace boasts a unique mirror arrangement that reflects a single ray of light to illuminate the entire room. The exquisite mirror work is a testament to the exceptional craftsmanship of designers and architects from a bygone era, leaving visitors in awe of their expertise.

The name literally translates to the 'palace of mirrors'. The palace is located inside Amber fort. The palace is filled with shining small mirrors in every corner. There is a big mirror in a corner-near the exit, where if you look at it, you can see you face clearly. An absolute wonder in the heart of Rajasthan.

The visit was amazing. We took a guide at the ticketing office. Price was 400 rupii for about 40-50 min just be aware that not all guides in India are good some are just scammers. The guy in white islamic (?) hat is amazing. He speaks good English and is also an interesting person. Highly recommended. The fort itself was also amazing.

Hanuman Temple

Mentioned on

Hindu temple
Sights & Landmarks
Nestled in a serene and picturesque setting, Hanuman Temple, also known as Monkey Temple or Kole Ke Hanuman Ji, is a historic Hindu site dedicated to the revered monkey deity Hanuman. The temple offers stunning views and boasts remarkable architecture set amidst the mountains. Visitors can immerse themselves in the tranquil atmosphere while observing people singing, playing music, and even swimming in the holy water. The temple is home to Macaque monkeys that visitors can feed and observe.
The place is very beautiful and quiet. The old buildings are renovated but still there is a scope for cleanliness. The water in the pond is clear but the around area is not that cleaned. Children take bath in it and people wash their clothes. The temple uphill is the oldest temple of Lord Hanuman. Many people come to this temple often. And there are other temples also. There is some trekking area also uphill side.
Purnima S — Google review
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.
Anjusree K — Google review
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.
Narender K — Google review
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.

Jaigarh fort is a must visit if you have a historian within you and you need to know extra about the history of Jaipur. Well planned fort again but if you are in a hurry can be skipped. This fort houses the world’s biggest canon, which was hardly used except for testing. You will also like the 40 feet deep tanks which were constructed to store and supply water. Does not take lot of time. You can cover this fort in 45 min.

Best combination of history and technology. It was army camp for the king. Best part is the Canon factory, where the world's largest canon Jaiwaan was made. Jaiwan is known as largest canon in this world with a weight of 50 tons. It was made in Jaigarh Fort canon factory. It shows the great technology of India. View of Amer palace is lovely from Jaigarh. Lovely place with great history. Made strong and safe for battles. Though, needs lot of maintenance to save our history.

The palace's unique location makes it one of Jaipur's most famous landmarks.

Really lovely palace which sits right in the middle of the man sagar lake in jaipur. The view of the palace is beautiful with the hills to one side and water all around. Need more maintenance and cleanliness as the water is dirty and needs treatment. Its a pity that common man has no access to the palace. You will be hawked by photographers offering to take snaps in traditional rajasthani dressing. Bargain well if you want to engage their service.

Jal Mahal is one of the most beautiful and iconic spots in Jaipur. The palace looks stunning in the middle of the lake, especially during sunrise and sunset when the golden light reflects on the water. The surrounding area is peaceful, great for photography, and perfect for a relaxed evening walk. There’s no entry inside the palace, but the view from the lakeside is absolutely worth visiting. The place gets a bit crowded on weekends, so visiting during early morning or late evening is ideal. Street food and small shops around the area add to the experience.

​The Jal Mahal (meaning "Water Palace") is a stunning architectural marvel situated in the middle of the Man Sagar Lake in Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan, India. Built primarily in the red sandstone, this five-storey palace appears to be floating serenely on the water, with four of its floors submerged during a full lake, leaving only the top floor visible. Originally constructed in 1799 by Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh for duck hunting, the palace was later extensively renovated and expanded by Maharaja Jai Singh II of Amber in the 18th century. Its distinctive blend of Rajput and Mughal architectural styles is evident in the symmetrical design, the intricate carvings, and the beautiful terraced garden on its roof, which was once adorned with arcades and semi-octagonal towers. Though currently inaccessible to visitors inside, the palace and its picturesque reflection on the lake's surface offer one of the most tranquil and photographed sights in the "Pink City."
SAIKAT M — Google review
The story behind Jaipur's Jal Mahal ("Water Palace") is one of its creation as a hunting lodge and its later transforma- tion into a symbol of royal pleasure and architectural ingenuity. Originally built in 1699 by Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh, it was a retreat for duck hunting. Later, in the 18th century, Maharaja Jai Singh Il renovated and ex- panded both the palace and the surrounding lake, which was formed by damming the Dravyavati river to address water scarcity.
Ashish G — Google review
The Jal Mahal, or "Water Palace," is an architectural marvel seemingly afloat in the center of the Man Sagar Lake in Jaipur. This entire setting is man-made; the lake was originally created in 1610 AD by damming the Darbhawati river to alleviate a famine. The palace itself, though started earlier, was largely renovated and enlarged in the 18th century by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II of Amber. ​The palace's design is a stunning testament to the Rajput-Mughal architectural blend. It is a five-storeyed structure built from beautiful red sandstone, yet famously, when the lake is full, four of those floors remain submerged underwater, creating the illusion of a single, ethereal floating story. ​A key detail is that the palace cannot be visited internally by the general public as entry is restricted, partly due to ongoing restoration and legal issues. Tourists must appreciate its grandeur from the Man Sagar Dam and the promenade on the lake's edge. ​Regarding water activities, boating is currently not allowed for tourists to access the palace itself, though some tour operators offer boat rides on the larger Man Sagar Lake to provide a closer view. The primary activity is walking the promenade and photography, especially during sunrise or sunset. ​ The best time to visit the exterior is during the monsoon, when the lake is at its fullest, enhancing the palace's magical reflection. Flanked by the Nahargarh hills, Jal Mahal remains one of Jaipur's most photographed and historically significant landmarks.

Hawa Mahal, often referred to as the "Palace of Winds," is a stunning architectural gem located in Jaipur, Rajasthan. Built in 1799 by Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh, this five-story palace is renowned for its striking facade adorned with numerous small windows known as jharokhas. These intricately designed openings not only enhance the beauty of the structure but also serve a practical purpose by allowing cool breezes to flow through, making it an early form of natural air conditioning.
Hawa Mahal, or the “Palace of Winds,” is one of Jaipur’s most iconic landmarks. Standing tall in the heart of the Pink City, this five-storey palace made of red and pink sandstone looks stunning with its honeycomb-like façade of 953 small windows, built for royal women to observe street life unseen. Visiting the monument feels like walking into history. The narrow corridors and breezy windows live up to its name—the constant flow of air keeps the palace surprisingly cool even on hot days. From the top, you get a beautiful view of Jaipur’s old streets and the City Palace nearby. **Timings:** Open daily from **9 AM to 4:30 PM**. **Tickets:** Around **₹50 for Indians** and **₹200 for foreigners**. **Accessibility:** Being an old structure, there are steep stairs and limited space, so it may not be ideal for elderly visitors or those with mobility issues. However, the main façade can easily be viewed from the street without climbing inside. **Guides:** Local guides are available at the entrance for ₹150–₹300, offering great insights into the palace’s history and purpose. Overall, Hawa Mahal is a must-visit in Jaipur—beautiful, breezy, and symbolic of Rajasthan’s royal heritage. Go early morning for soft light and fewer crowds; it’s especially magical when the sun hits the pink walls.

Absolutely stunning place! The architecture of Hawa Mahal is breathtaking and truly represents the royal heritage of Jaipur. The intricate windows and pink sandstone design look even more beautiful during sunrise. The view from the top gives a nice glimpse of the city and local markets. The location is easy to reach, and there are many shops and cafés around for snacks and shopping. Ticket price is reasonable, and the place is well-maintained. A must-visit spot for history lovers, photographers, and anyone exploring Jaipur!

Hawa Mahal, or the “Palace of Winds,” is truly one of the most iconic and mesmerizing landmarks in Jaipur. The moment you see its magnificent pink sandstone façade, you understand why it’s called the pride of the Pink City. The intricate latticework windows, known as “jharokhas,” were built so royal women could watch street processions without being seen — and that piece of history makes the experience even more special. I visited in the morning, and the sunlight reflecting on the palace made it glow beautifully. The street view from the opposite side gives you the best photo angle — the whole façade looks stunning against the clear blue sky. Inside, the corridors are narrow yet charming, leading up to several levels with amazing viewpoints overlooking the busy Johari Bazaar below. The detailing on the walls and arches is spectacular, and the cool breeze that flows through the hundreds of small windows really lives up to its name — “Palace of Winds.” There’s also a small museum inside showcasing royal artifacts, paintings, and weapons from the Rajput era. I highly recommend visiting with a local guide for historical insights — it made my visit even more meaningful. Outside, there are many shops selling jewelry, handicrafts, and Rajasthani souvenirs, adding to the local vibe. Overall, Hawa Mahal is a masterpiece of architecture, culture, and history — an unmissable stop for anyone visiting Jaipur. Don’t forget to carry your camera; every corner is worth capturing!

A great structure and unique example of Indian architecture. It believes that this building is made without foundation. Lots of windows and beautiful look. Nice place to visit but you will face parking problem. In evening it looks much beautiful. Plan your visit in evening and you will love it.

The Hawa Mahal stands as a testament to great architecture, instantly captivating visitors with its distinctive five-story, pyramid-like facade. Built from red and pink sandstone, its genius lies in the 953 delicate jharokhas (latticed windows), which allowed royal ladies to observe street festivals while remaining unseen. This ingenious design also facilitates the 'Palace of Winds' effect, ensuring cool breezes circulate through the structure. ​A major reality check, though: the area is incredibly crowdy. The surrounding street is a chaotic hub of traffic, making it overwhelming during peak hours. For the best experience, the early morning is the absolute best time to visit, ideally before 10:00 AM. The softer light beautifully illuminates the pink facade, and the crowds are significantly thinner. ​For the iconic, full-frame photos of the Mahal, avoid the ground level. Instead, head directly across the road and up to one of the rooftop spots, such as the popular Wind View Cafe. This vantage point offers an unobstructed, elevated view that is simply unparalleled for capturing this magnificent structure.

Hawa Mahal was built by Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh in the year 1799 under the supervision of architect Lal Chand Ustad. He designed the facade of this palace like a crown. This 87-foot-high-pyramid-shaped, five-storied structure has 953 intricately designed windows. This five-storey building has been built without a foundation It’s known for it’s expectional ventilation, Which is also the reason behind it’s name - Hawa Mahal, which literally translates to “Palace of the Winds”

Visiting Hawa Mahal felt like stepping into a fairytale carved out of pink sandstone. Built in 1799 by Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh, this iconic "Palace of Winds" is an architectural marvel that left me utterly spellbound. The moment you stand in front of its stunning five-story façade, you’re greeted by 953 intricately latticed windows (jharokhas) that look like a giant honeycomb dripping with Rajput and Mughal artistry. The delicate carvings, domes, and balconies create a mesmerizing pattern against the sky – it’s easily one of the most photogenic landmarks in India! What makes Hawa Mahal truly magical is its brilliant design. Those tiny windows were crafted so cleverly that they allowed royal ladies to observe street festivals and daily life without being seen, while keeping the palace naturally cool even in scorching Rajasthani summers (the "hawa" in its name literally means wind!). Standing inside, you can feel the gentle breeze flowing through like the palace is breathing – it’s an engineering wonder disguised as poetry. The view from the top is pure gold: a panoramic sweep of Jaipur’s bustling bazaars, the majestic City Palace, and distant hills bathed in golden sunlight. Early morning is especially enchanting when the soft light turns the entire structure into a glowing rose-pink dream. Though the interiors are minimal (it was never meant for residence), every ramp and corridor feels like a secret passageway whispering stories of a bygone era. The small museum on the upper floors with its old photographs and artifacts adds a lovely touch of history. Tips from my visit: Go at sunrise for the best light and fewer crowds. Combine it with Jantar Mantar and City Palace – they’re just a short walk away. Wear comfortable shoes; there are plenty of stairs but totally worth the climb! Hawa Mahal isn’t just a monument – it’s a celebration of creativity, femininity, and the genius of Indian architecture. If you’re in Jaipur, this breathtaking beauty is an absolute must-see. I left with hundreds of photos and a heart full of wonder. Highly, highly recommended! 🏰💖

It is built by Maharaj Sawai Pratap Singh in 1799. It is five storied structure and one of the tourist places in Jaipur. It is unique in its design. It looks like honeycomb as it has many small windows and balconies. These windows and balconies allowed royal women to observe the street life whereas these women will be remain unseen to outsider on street. These windows and balconies also provides cool breeze. Thats why the name is Hawa Mahal ( Palace of winds). It is open at 9.30 am and closes 7.00 pm. The closing time varies on season basis. Entry fee is 50 rs for Indian citizen.

This remarkable observatory, constructed in 1726 from masonry, marble, and brass, features an array of fixed instruments known as yantras. These large-scale structures resemble abstract sculptures but serve a serious purpose: they accurately measure celestial phenomena such as timekeeping, star locations, planetary angles, and even predict eclipses.
Jantar Mantar in Jaipur is one of the most fascinating places I’ve ever visited. It’s not just a historical monument but a real scientific wonder that shows how advanced India’s astronomical knowledge was centuries ago. Built by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II in the early 1700s, this UNESCO World Heritage Site features massive instruments made entirely of stone and marble — all used to study the stars, track time, and predict eclipses long before modern technology existed. The highlight is the Samrat Yantra, the world’s largest stone sundial, which can measure time with incredible accuracy — up to just a few seconds! There are several other fascinating instruments, each designed with perfect geometric precision. It’s truly mind-blowing to think that these were built over 300 years ago without any modern equipment. 👉 Make sure to get a local guide — they will explain everything clearly and make the experience ten times better. The instruments can look confusing at first, but once the guide walks you through how each one works, it becomes absolutely captivating. My guide explained how shadows, angles, and sunlight were used to calculate time and planetary positions — it was like stepping into a live science classroom! The complex is clean, well-maintained, and ideal for photography, especially in the morning when the light hits the instruments beautifully. There are shaded spots to relax, and the atmosphere feels peaceful despite being near the busy City Palace area. Overall, Jantar Mantar is a must-visit in Jaipur — a perfect blend of history, science, and art. It’s one of those places that truly makes you admire India’s ancient brilliance. Highly recommended!

It is one of the most fascinating places in Jaipur. The different devices shows time, the hour of the day, eclipse-on the sun and the moon, the hours left, when will it begin, the end time, the mid time, the duration and everything related to time and above. In those times, people used to see this and know the time of the day and night. There is a wheel that actually tells the time. The spoke on which the sunray is there, its the hour and minutes follow after it. Absolute wonder.

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.
City Palace in Jaipur is an incredible blend of history, art, and royal elegance — a must-visit for anyone exploring the Pink City. The palace complex perfectly combines Mughal and Rajput architectural styles, with grand gateways, beautiful courtyards, and intricately designed halls. As soon as you step inside, you’re surrounded by marble archways, colorful murals, and royal charm that instantly takes you back in time. The highlight for me was the famous Peacock Gate — a masterpiece of design with vibrant colors and amazing craftsmanship. It’s also one of the most photographed spots here, and for good reason. The museum inside the palace is very well-maintained, showcasing royal costumes, ancient weaponry, and artifacts that tell the story of Jaipur’s royal legacy. I also enjoyed visiting the Diwan-i-Khas and Diwan-i-Aam — both halls are majestic and filled with historical significance. There’s a small café inside the complex that serves good coffee and snacks, perfect for relaxing after exploring. The place is clean, well-managed, and the staff is polite and helpful. The entry fee might feel a bit high, but considering the beauty, maintenance, and experience, it’s absolutely worth it. I recommend visiting in the morning or late afternoon for good lighting and smaller crowds. My photos from the upper terrace and courtyard turned out stunning! Overall, City Palace is a gem in Jaipur — grand, graceful, and full of stories that every traveler should experience.

A part of the Jaipur king's palace is open to visitors as museum. Ticket rate of 300rs per person. Wonderful museum. Most of it is covered, so okay to visit during daytime with high temperature. We visited in September 2025 Current descendents of the King reside in a part of this palace, which is not open to regular visitors. There is a private tour of 4000rs (if I remember right) per person, to view 4 rooms in the section where King resides. Anyone wanting to get a pic in the famous blue-white design room famous in social media - this is one of these 4 rooms available through the 4k rs ticket - don't be disappointed like me 😅

Amazing place to visit. It's an architectural marvel. The entire palace is aesthetically designed and very pleasing to watch. The museum also has lot of artifacts the kings Dubar looks very magnificent.

It's a beautiful place where the royal family lives. We buy a ticket for 300 but it was for very limited access, for entire palace the ticket was of 4000 which is huge. Even spending 300 for museum was not worth. The palace is definitely a good place and carrying a great history but spending 300 for visiting museum for 45 minutes is costly. Definitely a place to visit but cost is also royal.

The city palace is one of its kind and so beautifully designed. Also, entry fees of 300 rs for indian and 1000 rs for foreigners is applicable. They have restaurant and caffe as well inside the fort. Must visit if you are staying in jaipur. Also, this fort do not require guide as everything is mentioned there with details and pictures.

The City Palace in Jaipur is an absolutely stunning monument and a must-visit for anyone coming to the Pink City. The architecture, colours, courtyards and royal details are breathtaking — every corner feels like a piece of history frozen in time. The blend of Rajput and Mughal design is beautifully maintained, and you can easily spend hours exploring and clicking photos. Truly one of Jaipur’s finest landmarks. That said, a small word of caution about the shops inside the palace complex. Many items are marketed as “authentic”, “royal”, or “handmade”, but the prices are heavily marked up. You can find very similar items — textiles, handicrafts, accessories and souvenirs — outside the palace for a fraction of the cost. A special mention for the perfume/attar shops inside: they narrate long stories about rare fragrances and royal formulas, but most of it is just regular attar being sold at extremely high prices. There’s no harm in browsing, but it’s better to buy perfumes and handicrafts from trusted markets outside. Overall, City Palace is an incredible place to experience the heritage of Jaipur, but be mindful of purchases inside the premises. Go for the architecture, culture and history — they’re 100% worth it!

Nahargarh Fort, perched on the Aravalli Hills overlooking Jaipur, offers one of the best panoramic views of the entire Pink City. Built by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II in 1734, this fort once served as a retreat and defense post for the royal family. Today, it’s a perfect blend of history, scenic beauty, and a touch of adventure. The drive up the winding road is picturesque, especially during sunrise or sunset. The fort’s structure is massive yet peaceful, with intricate corridors, royal apartments, and old cannons still standing guard. The Madhavendra Bhawan inside is beautifully designed and worth exploring. From the terrace, the city view is simply breathtaking—especially when Jaipur glows in evening lights. **Timings:** Open daily from **10 AM to 6 PM**. **Tickets:** Around **₹50 for Indians**, **₹200 for foreigners**; camera charges may apply. **Accessibility:** The fort is on a hilltop and involves a fair bit of walking and stairs, so senior visitors may find it slightly challenging.

There’s also a small café inside and an open terrace restaurant—perfect for enjoying a coffee with a city view. Overall, Nahargarh Fort is a must-visit for its scenic sunset views, peaceful vibe, and royal charm—ideal for photographers and history lovers alike.

We went here with my friends on a school trip. There was a little difficulty in parking as we had to go upwards using a different kind of jeep, but man oh man, what do I say? This was one of the best forts I've seen so far, situated in slightly hilly terrain that offers stunning perspectives from every angle. The fort itself is massive, covering a vast area, and exploring it is an adventure in itself. It is divided into several sections and forts, such as the Jaigarh Fort and the Amber Fort (Sheesh Mahal) and most of it is preserved and maintained very well. Walking through its courtyards, gates, and ramparts, you can truly feel the grandness of its design and the careful planning that went into every part. A visit here leaves you with a true sense of the historical importance of how skillful and creative the ancient Indians were who built this fort. The sanitation and the overall holding up of the structures over decades have really blown my mind. Every corner seems to tell a story of the past, and the perfect scale of this architecture is admirable. I highly recommend this place for anyone who appreciates our ancient heritage. The overall blend of natural landscape and architectural brilliance makes it a truly unforgettable experience that reflects Rajasthan’s royal past in all its glory.

Visited Nahargarh Fort in the morning and really enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere and panoramic city views. The fort is beautifully built on the hilltop, offering a stunning view of Jaipur from above. Unfortunately, the Padao Restaurant was closed when we reached, so we couldn’t try it — it would have been nice to enjoy breakfast or tea with that view. Still, the fort itself is worth visiting, especially in the morning when it’s quiet and not crowded.
PRADIP M — Google review
Amazing place. The Fort is amazing, great architecture, detailing and history. But, Be aware of monkey's here. And parking space is such a mess. No ground leveling, hard stones all over. You can skip the food from Padao Café. The free coffee is probably the worst coffee I've ever tasted. The scenic beauty is the only thing people go there. And you have to pay Rs.200 per person just to visit that cafe. Free coffee is included. Other than that, it is a beautiful place to go with friends and family.

Nahargarh Fort offers one of the best sunset views in Jaipur. The fort is peaceful, beautiful, and perfect for photography. The city view from the top looks stunning, especially in the evening. A great place to relax and enjoy nature and history together.

There is a restuarant by Rajasthan tourism dept at the far end of the fort, from where you can witness absolutely beautiful sunset over the Jaipur city. Half of the good seats were already reserved, and we got the last remaining good seat because we reached very early. There is a cover charge, the food is also decent.

This fort is one of the best🤌 place to ever visit. I love this place. If you want to see sunset or sunrise from the top of the hills . This is the best place. You want lightning then go visit at night before 9:30PM because entry isn't allowed.

I must say, it was truly a beautiful mandir located in Rajasthan, this was the first place we visited while on our school trip. Upon arrival, it was still evening, and we spent some time exploring the surroundings and doing a bit of side shopping in bazaar near the entrance of the mandir. As the sunset occurred and the lights lit up, the entire ambiance of this place transformed. Gradually, as the evening turned into night, the temple was sparkling and shining with decorative lights, highlighting its highly detailed sculptures and towering spires. We headed towards the main mandir through a single pathway going uphill, which was slightly steep but added to the sense of anticipation. The mandir itself was breathtaking, with its majestic and intricate designs. Despite being a bit crowded, the atmosphere was peaceful and filled with spiritual energy. The gentle hum of devotional chants and the aroma of incense added to the sacred ambiance. It was prohibited to take photos inside the temple for obvious reasons and to maintain a peaceful atmosphere for prayer. The cold breeze during the season and the starry sky above made the experience even more memorable. Overall, it was a visit to cherish, entirely filled with divine spirituality, making this entire moment unforgettable. I highly recommend everyone to visit this place.

The temple is constructed entirely of pristine white marble, which gives it a luminous, elegant appearance — especially striking at dusk when it’s lit up. It sits in a convenient and central location in Jaipur, making it easily accessible for visitors. Inside, the main sanctum houses idols of Lord Vishnu (Narayana) and Goddess Lakshmi carved from a single piece of marble. The architecture carries a meaningful theme: the three domes represent the three major religions of India (Hinduism, Islam, Christianity) emphasising unity and inclusivity. Surrounding lush gardens and open space add to the peaceful ambience — a good place to pause and reflect away from the bustle. Entry is free and available for all visitors; you don’t have to pay an admission fee. Because it’s popular and centrally located, it can get quite crowded, especially around the evening aarti (prayer) times and on weekends. One visitor review: > “I visited 11 o’clock in the morning and that time was crowded so I would recommend to visit early morning.” Photography rules are a bit restrictive in some parts: you’re allowed around the exterior and gardens, but inside the sanctum it may be prohibited or restricted. Parking and traffic around the area can be a bit of hassle, given it’s in a busy zone of Jaipur. (Multiple local comments mention this.) Because marble floors are used throughout, the interior can feel quite cool / slippery — something to keep in mind if you have elderly company or small children. One observation: > “The temple is very cold from inside and while walking we can feel it in our feet.” 📍 Visit Experience & Tips Best time to visit: Early morning after opening for a more peaceful experience; or early evening when the temple is illuminated and the light on the marble is particularly beautiful. Dress modestly (as in most temples), remove your footwear at the designated area, and maintain decorum. If you’re interested in architecture and photography, allow some time to appreciate the carvings, stained-glass windows and the symbolism (e.g., philosophers and saints from different traditions are depicted). Because crowds peak at weekends and festival times (e.g., Janmashtami, Diwali), if you prefer a quieter visit go on a weekday. After your visit, the gardens provide a nice break — you can simply sit, relax, enjoy the greenery. Nearby attractions make it easy to combine this visit with other local sightseeing. For instance, you might visit the temple and then head to another spot in Jaipur on the same day.

Its a beautiful temple built of pristine white marble. A must visit. Consideration 1. Avoid visiting in the afternoon, the temple is closed in the afternoon. Check the time. 2. The temple varanda and premises stay open when the temple is closed. 3. 4PM could be the best time to visit. 4. Carry an umbrella in the sunny days in summer. Pros 1. Really beautiful and well made 2. Paid parking is available 3. The temple staff is helpful 4. Many many photo opportunities

This place is closed now as the ownership has changed but when I visited, the place was huge and very pretty. Walking wasn’t a hassle but there were a few upward slanting ways to go through before reaching the main entrance. There is also a Balaji mandir at the entrance of the fort so do take his blessings. The caretaker gave a personalised tour of the place when I visited, thank you for that. He was sweet and polite and gave info about the place. It was also neat and tidy with the paint still intact on the inside. Wish it was open now too but it isn’t. Lucky I got to see it before it closed.

You cannot enter the fort as it's not under ASI or state archeology, it's privately owned. There is a small Balaji temple inside the premises till which is where you are allowed. You can visit the fort only if you are able to get special permission from the owners.

Step Back in Time - Laxmangarh Fort, Sikar My recent visit to Laxmangarh Fort in Sikar, Rajasthan, was nothing short of a journey through history. This imposing architectural marvel transported me back in time, offering a glimpse into the region's rich heritage and royal past. From the moment I entered the fort's gates, I was captivated by the intricate detailing on the walls and the grandeur of the structure. The craftsmanship and architecture of the fort are truly commendable, reflecting the artistic excellence of a bygone era. Exploring the fort's various sections, including the palace, courtyards, and corridors, felt like unraveling the layers of a fascinating story. The well-preserved frescoes and murals adorned with vibrant colors and intricate designs were a testament to the artistic sensibilities of the time. The panoramic view from the fort's vantage points was nothing short of breathtaking. It provided a sweeping panorama of the town of Sikar and its surroundings, giving me a unique perspective of the region's landscape.

LE PRINCE HAVELI

Apartment complex
Sights & Landmarks
Elegant guesthouse offering ornate quarters in a 19th-century building, plus an outdoor pool & bar.
Beautiful Haveli with amazing fresco paintings and ambiance. Owned by a French family who bought it from the original Indian ownner 16 years back and took 6 years to restore to it's present glory. At present a caretaker manages the property and owner comes once a year from France. Entry ticket is 100rs and open from 10am to 6pm.

I tried to and wanted to visit this Haveli during my trip to Fatehpur Shekhawati but I could not as it was closed. I could just see the outer walls of the Haveli. Though, there was a board outside the haweli which says, “Open everyday from 8 am to 6 pm.” I read about it online that a French artist has restored the haweli, there were no signs of restoration from outside. It looked to me in ruined state. Locals informed me that it never gets opened after COVID. Sometimes, a foreign lady comes to visit the haweli and that’s it. Instead, you can visit nearby havelis. Though, very few havelis are available for tourists if you are an Indian. Hardly, you will get access to 1 or 2 havelis to visit.

Excellent old style marwari Haveli. The fresco work and restoration done. The staff is friendly and good. Mr Sanjay however could learn to smile! Good bar and dining room ambience. Cons: 1. Lack of acceptance of credit cards despite it being mentioned on the booking website 2. No service of tea coffee in room or kettles in room 3. Toilet is extremely small and shower too. Super uncomfortable. Book and stay only at prince 1 &2 rooms. Rest are not advisable.

Nearly 200 years old place. Being frescoed. Good place to stay for a couple of days. Food taste like home cooked. Drinks available at the bar. Rooms are old times. But No place for car parking in the premises, it has to be done outside on the road.

Crammed with history. Come for a tour, understand the historical significance of the place that led to the creation of these havelis. Roam around the fully restored haveli. And stay back for lunch / dinner. Staying in this Haveli itself is also a good option.

Shree Salasar Balaji Mandir, Rajasthan

Hindu temple
Sights & Landmarks
Built in 1754 AD, this bustling Hindu temple provides traditional rituals, feasts & ceremonies.
I recently visited Salasar Balaji Dham, and it was a very peaceful and satisfying experience. The darshan was smooth and didn’t take much time – around 10 to 15 minutes, which made the whole visit very comfortable. The temple atmosphere is truly divine, and being in front of Balaji Maharaj felt very special. One thing I really appreciated was the parking facility. On normal days, except Tuesdays and Saturdays when the crowd is very heavy, there is plenty of parking space available near the temple. This makes the journey a lot easier, especially if you are coming with family. The temple surroundings are also well managed, and the shops around make it convenient to buy prasad or other items. Overall, my visit was memorable and left me with a sense of calm and positivity. It’s definitely a place worth visiting, whether you are going for darshan, spiritual peace, or just to experience the energy of such a sacred place. I would highly recommend planning your visit on weekdays for a smoother experience and to avoid the heavy rush.

Salasar Balaji Mandir, located in the Churu district of Rajasthan, is one of the most famous temples dedicated to Lord Hanuman. Popularly known as Salasar Dham, this holy shrine holds immense religious significance and attracts devotees from all over India throughout the year. The temple is renowned for its unique idol of Lord Hanuman, which has a distinct beard and mustache, making it different from other depictions found in most temples. The spiritual atmosphere of Salasar Balaji Mandir is truly mesmerizing. As soon as you enter the temple premises, the aura of devotion, the sound of bhajans, and the continuous chanting of “Jai Shree Ram” fill your heart with divine energy. The temple is especially crowded on Tuesdays and Saturdays, as these days are considered very auspicious for Lord Hanuman. Despite the rush, the arrangements for darshan and offerings are well-managed by the temple committee, ensuring that devotees have a smooth spiritual experience. Apart from its religious importance, the temple complex is also known for its cleanliness, spacious surroundings, and facilities for devotees, including resting areas, drinking water, and prasad distribution. The nearby market offers devotional items, souvenirs, and traditional Rajasthani food, making the visit even more memorable. Every year, two big fairs are organized here during Chaitra Purnima and Ashwin Purnima, attracting lakhs of devotees. During these times, the temple town comes alive with vibrant energy, devotional songs, and cultural programs. Overall, a visit to Salasar Balaji Mandir is not just a religious trip but also a soulful experience that leaves one feeling blessed, peaceful, and spiritually uplifted. It is undoubtedly one of the must-visit temples in Rajasthan for devotees of Lord Hanuman and seekers of divine blessings. Would you like me to make this review sound more formal like a travel magazine article, or more personal like a devotee’s experience?

Salasar Dham is located in Churu district in Rajasthan and is dedicated to Lord Hanuman. The key highlight of this shrine is that Hanuman is portrayed with a beard and a moustache. The idol also has knotty eyebrows and beautiful eyes as well has a tilak on its forehead. One noteworthy aspect of the Salasar Balaji temple is that it is believed to be a swayambhu shrine or a temple with an idol that manifested by itself. Worshippers also consider the temple to be a Shakti Sthal or a place of power. The temple is also claimed to be a place where the wishes of devotees come true. History: Long ago on a Tuesday in the Shravan month on Navami, a farmer from a village called Asota in Rajasthan was ploughing his field. His plough suddenly struck something hard and the farmer could not move it any further. When the farmer inspected the area, he saw a stone there. The farmer removed the stone and started digging further only to find an idol of Hanuman. It was exactly at that moment, the farmer’s wife came to the fields with lunch for the farmer. She had brought churma made using bajra for his lunch. The farmer fed some churma to the idol also. Since then, it is a customary practice among devotees to feed the deity in the shrine with some bajra churma. Parking could be difficult to find.

Salasar Balaji Salasar Balaji, also known as Salasar Dham, is a famous temple dedicated to Lord Hanuman, located in the Churu district of Rajasthan, India. It is one of the most revered pilgrimage sites for devotees of Lord Hanuman and attracts thousands of visitors every day, especially on Tuesdays, Saturdays, and during the annual fairs held in the months of Chaitra (March–April) and Ashwin (September–October). According to legend, a farmer named Ginthala from Asota village found an idol of Hanuman in his field after a divine dream. The idol was later enshrined in Salasar, where it miraculously became heavier, signifying the Lord’s wish to stay there. Since then, Salasar Dham has become a sacred center of faith, devotion, and miracles. The temple’s unique idol features a beard and mustache, which distinguishes it from other Hanuman temples. Devotees believe that praying here fulfills wishes, removes obstacles, and grants strength and courage. The temple complex is beautifully maintained and surrounded by shops, dharamshalas, and facilities for pilgrims. People from all over India visit Salasar Balaji on foot, often as part of a spiritual journey from Khatu Shyam Ji to Salasar, covering nearly 80 kilometers. The atmosphere of the temple is filled with divine energy, chants of “Jai Hanuman,” and the unshakable faith of millions.

Evidence suggests that Osian is a very old settlement. Some of its early names include Uvasisala, Ukesa and Upkesapur-pattana. In its early history, the village was a center for Brahmanism. It was a major stop for camel caravans during the Gupta period.[6] The town was an important center for the Pratihar dynasty. Tradition states that, after being abandoned for a time, the village was re-established by Utpaladeva (c. 900-950). Utpaladeva converted to Jainism, and turned the village into a center for the religion. However, Jainism had a presence in the village long before that. The town was prosperous and successful at this time. At its peak, it had over three hundred Jain temples.[7] Muhammad of Ghor and his Turkish and Muslim armies attacked the town in 1195. The people of the city fled during these attacks. Most of the city, and most of its temples, were destroyed. After this attack, the residents did not return, and the city became deserted

Sachiya Mata Temple is located at Osian in Jodhpur, Rajasthan. This temple is dedicated to Goddess Sachiya (also known as Sachaya Mata and Sachiya Mata).

Every day, the temple is open from sunrise until 1 hour after sunset in the evening. The temple is open until 10 p.m. during Navratri. Aarti in the evening is done 20 minutes after sunset. Visit Osian's magnificent and ethereal Sachiya Mata Temple. Osian is extremely worth visiting owing to its rugged landscapes, tons of enthralling activities, and splendid attractions.

Really beautiful and very much intricately carved Jain temple in Osian. May be due to the narrow approach road, it is not so popular as it should be. Better to park the vehicle at designated parking near Osian temple and walk from there. Some local autos run up to Jain temple and only they can negotiate these narrow lanes and tight curves. Once you reach in, it's a totally wonderful world! Almost silent, no crowds, enjoy the beauty and serenity of the temple. You may check out each pillar carved so finely that, you need an up close look to really admire the carvings. Didn't find good options for water, snack etc nearby, so be prepared for any sudden need. Keep water during summer as the stones get really hot.
