1 of the finest mixed use development I’ve visited in my life. Has such a great vibe to it. Ample car parking space but is unfortunately located outside the hub. Has a good mix of shopping k F&B outlets. Offices above, shopping + shops below. Has some great brands spread across ground, 1st & 2nd levels. Definitely worth a visit. There’s an absence of luxurious brands though for which DLF Emporio ought to be visited. Spread in a huge space & is walking ONLY.

ZYX G — Google review
From power lunches to post-work hangouts, there’s something for every mood. You can grab a coffee at Starbucks, enjoy a craft beer at The Beer Café, or try fusion bites at Farzi Café — every corner has its own vibe. Evenings are especially fun, when fairy lights glow, live music hums, and the crowd spills into the open courtyards. It’s pedestrian-friendly, secure, and surprisingly family-friendly during the day. Parking can get crowded at night, but the overall experience makes it worth it. Whether you’re here for a meeting, a date, or a casual evening with friends, CyberHub delivers the perfect mix of food, fun, and urban energy — truly the heartbeat of modern Gurgaon.

One of the most iconic place in the NCR, a wonderful experience with all friends visited with me, the Auditorium complex and its decorations were interesting. Walking around inside the complex is a great experience. Always wanted to be here. And so it happened. I cannot say that I have never been here before. We especially enjoyed going to it. It’s definitely worth the price, and it’s good to go with your entire family or friends. In the end, it was worth it to experience an auditorium that has meant so much to so many.

We went couple of years book to kingdom of dreams to watch Jhumri. It’s a The tickets are heavily priced. It’s a theatre where you can watch shows with nice visually effects like Zangoora & Jhumru. Went with parents. Show is nice. The place is nice too. You can check out tickets on nearbuy for any deals or discounts. Better to go on weekdays since there is lesser rush & ticket prices are lesser. Better to book tickets in advance online. Food is not included in tickets. There is a nice food court where you can buy food against coupons. There is a nice landscaping and artificial sky roof types. There is a fantasy park for kids which has separate tickets. Kingdom of Dreams entry fees – Diamond, Platinum, Gold, Silver and Bronze. Diamond tickets cost ₹2999 per person on weekdays and ₹3999 per person on weekends. Platinum tickets are priced at ₹2499 per person (weekdays) and ₹2999 per person (weekends) and Gold tickets cost ₹1999 and ₹2499.

This place is so amazing and has a lot to offer. The food restaurants and cafes offer tasty food. The restaurants are theme based and show diversity of indian culture by providing state specific foods. There are many outlets where you can buy clothes, souvenirs and other items. The ambience is so lovely and on weekends there are some live performances which are really awesome. The culture gully is the live stage show, which is also a must visit if you visit this place

The entry fee is nominal Rs. 800/- per person, which can be redeemed at any of the food outlets. The weekend entry fee is higher. Must go for those who would like to enjoy quality time with children.

Visual feast with beautiful settings. Particularly the sky roof is gorgeous and personifies the entire setting. Each hotel or store is basis a theme. Food is decent, photography is a strict no inside the hotels or stores. Selfies are okay if clicked one or two. Live performances are terrific. Opera / Dramas are additional. Stores are expensive as the goods are hand crafted.

The walking tracks are well-maintained, and there are plenty of open spaces for exercise or just relaxing. Highly recommended for fitness lovers as well as anyone who wants a refreshing break in nature.

Leisure Valley Park is a great spot to visit with family, offering a pleasant and spacious environment. One of the highlights is the evening light and fountain show, which runs from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM. The park also provides ample and free parking, making it a convenient destination. ​While many of the park's fountains were previously working, it appears that restoration work is currently underway, with only the main entry fountain operating. Similarly, the recently installed exercise equipment needs some maintenance, as a few pieces are misaligned. ​Despite these minor issues, the park remains a good place to spend time and enjoy the evening atmosphere.

Leisure Valley Park in Gurugram is one of those rare spots in the city where you can take a real break from the fast-paced urban chaos. Spread across lush greenery, the park offers an ideal combination of calmness, beauty, and local culture. I recently visited the park during a Pradarshani (exhibition) event, which added an extra spark to the experience. The main attraction for me was the Fish Aquarium Show, which was truly fascinating. There were several types of colourful and exotic fishes displayed in beautifully arranged aquariums. Each section had its own theme, and the lighting made the entire setup look magical, especially in the evening. I clicked some amazing photos and short videos there — the reflections, colours, and little details of each fish were worth capturing. The event was well managed and informative too, especially for kids and anyone interested in aquatic life. Apart from the exhibition, the park itself is clean, well-maintained, and perfect for family outings, morning walks, or casual evening strolls. The musical fountain and open-air sitting areas make it even more relaxing. Overall, Leisure Valley Park offers a refreshing mix of nature, art, and events. If you’re in Gurugram, don’t miss the chance to explore it — especially when a Pradarshani or special show is happening!

Leisure Valley Park is located in Sector 29 of Gurugram in the Haryana State of India. It is also known as the Maharana Pratap Swarn Jayanti Park. It is an urban park offering a rose garden, picnic spots, a cafe and a fountain with musical water shows. There is no entry fee to Leisure Valley Park . A musical fountain is operated in the evenings. It is at a short walking distance from the IFFCO Chowk Metro Station and is right opposite the Kingdom of Dreams . The Leisure Valley Park is a pleasant green area surrounded by the city’s concrete jungle. This Park is quite popular amongst kids, youngsters and the locals. It’s open for the public from 5 AM in the morning to 9 PM in the evening, everyday. Outside the park, and near the entrance, several illegal kiosks have come up, selling eatables. The park, however lacks good maintenance and upkeep. So many stray dogs roam freely inside.

National park
Nature & Parks
Sultanpur National Park, located near Gurugram, India, is a haven for bird enthusiasts and nature lovers. The park boasts a diverse range of local and migratory bird species, offering visitors the chance to observe them in their natural habitat. With well-maintained paths, watch towers for birdwatching, and an educational center, it provides an immersive experience in the beauty of nature.
Sultanpur Bird Sanctuary is a delightful escape into nature, and I highly recommend it to anyone who appreciates avian beauty. I was truly impressed by the sheer variety of bird species I encountered during my visit. Arrive early in the morning for the most rewarding experience; the birds are most active during these hours, and you'll witness a spectacular display. Parking is plentiful, which is a huge plus. The entry fee is very reasonable, making it an affordable outing. Be prepared to pay a separate (nominal) fee for bringing your camera. We were also fortunate enough to see deer, adding to the overall experience. The paths are well maintained and easy to walk. To preserve the sanctuary's natural beauty and ensure the well-being of its inhabitants, please adhere to the following guidelines: no littering, do not feed the birds, maintain silence, and respect wildlife. Keep a safe distance from the animals and avoid approaching them too closely. Overall, Sultanpur Bird Sanctuary is a wonderful place to connect with nature and observe birds in their natural habitat. It's a must-visit for nature enthusiasts and families alike.

I had a wonderful experience visiting Sultanpur National Park. It’s a serene place, perfect for bird watching and enjoying the outdoors. I spotted several migratory birds, including storks, herons, and egrets. The walking trails are clean and well-maintained, with watchtowers that give a great view of the lake and surroundings. It’s a great spot for photography and a quiet getaway from city life. Best time to visit is early morning, especially in the winter months. Highly recommended for nature lovers and families looking for a relaxing day out!

This is the best place for nature lovers. The place is so calm, fully natural, and eternally peaceful. It takes around 2-3 hours to take a full circle of the lake. There are 3-4 watchtowers and observation decks that offer picturesque views of the visiting birds. You need to visit with binoculars and high heeled shoes for the best experience. Carry a water bottle on warm days but do not litter anywhere. The entry costs 50rs per person and 30 rs for parking each vehicle. Restrooms are available near the parking lot. The place is frequently visited by migratory birds from Siberia and Central Asia. One can also find local fauna in abundance. The lake is purely rain fed so water levels keep declining during the winter. This place usually remains open from October to March during the winters

Amazing place for birding. Winter months are ideal, the park is closed from may to oct. It is serene and peaceful. Well maintained and clean, golf carts available so people with mobility issues or people looking just to unwind may avail. They have decent binoculars available for rent as well. Saw 100+ species in the 2-3 hours i was there in mid February. Only sad thing was dogs trying to hunt geese and other birds.

Nice adventure. Must try . The staff is cooperative and humble. They instructed well about the process and were very supportive throughout the process. We tried the morning slot as it is less crowded and also saved from sun heat. Need to track to reach the starting point so we prepare for this also . The need to reach the location is another challenge as it is away from the highway. Overall nice experience

Flying fox Neemrana was a great experience. Coach/ instructors Mr Deepak and Mr ChandraVeer were most professional , patient , lively and accommodating. These boys deserve special note for their professionalism. Mr ChandraVeer regaled us with local stories of the zip area while Deepak helped less avid trekkers , pulling people stopping short of destination on the lines and laughing along with the group. Flying fox Neemrana deserves five out of five for safety, adventure , procedure , location and paisa wasul😊!!!

Great experience. Brilliant instructors (Madan and Suraj) Note: There's a 15-20min trek to the top. Nothing too intensive, but just to inform.

Little costly but worth it, as it comes in combination with Fort entry... There are total 5 zips, though only 2 are longer but still 5 zips satisfy your gut.... Initially tracking to the mountain top feels like tiring, but it's worth taking ride...
Ankit P — Google review
Zip lining at Neemrana is a must do. Flying fox was awesome at it. The training, instructors, facilities (like harness, gloves and even water bottle) were all too good. The hike up till the zip line was a bit tiring, about 750m of climbing, but it was totally worth it. The views from each of the 5 zip lines were amazing. 2 tips: follow the instructions given by your guides regarding posture, or you'll find yourself pulling on the zip.. and, choose to zip when it's not too sunny as it becomes difficult to climb when it's too hot.
Janki M — Google review
Super relaxing activity. The experience is not adrenalinic, but it sure has very nice views. The staff is very kind and helpful. Nish and Hukum (apologies for spelling errors) were with us, making us feel safe, relaxed, and at home. I would do it again.

Believed to have been built by Maharaja Vinay Singh for his queen, it was once used as a summer retreat by the royals. Nestled on the baks of the Siliserh Lake on the outskirts of Always, the palace offers scenic views over the lake sone some surrounding hills. Entry is ₹100 & one can exchange the ticket for a bottle of water and some insipid tea/coffee.

Siliserh Lake is a peaceful escape from the city. The lake is clean, surrounded by green hills, and perfect for photography or a quiet walk. You can see local fishermen and enjoy a calm boat ride. There are small food stalls near the entrance, but bringing your own snacks is also nice. Great for couples, families, and solo travelers who want a relaxing day in nature. Highly recommended if you’re visiting Alwar.

Beautiful place to see this place. We all enjoyed there. Small cafe is on the top of the building on Lake. Wifi is available in the cafe. You can use this as mobile internet connectivity is not there. Small bar also in this same building in bottom floor. Boating facilities are there with minimum charges. Nearby spot are there for quick visit.

Siliserh Lake is a peaceful and scenic spot with beautiful views. The ticket even includes a cold drink, which is a nice touch! The road to the viewpoint is in decent, manageable condition, but it’s best to avoid very sunny days as there’s limited shade. You can easily spend 1–2 hours here and even enjoy boating. A great option for a short day trip from NCR!

The resort truly exceeded expectations with its excellent food, breathtaking scenery, and warm hospitality. Every meal was thoughtfully prepared, offering both taste and variety. The scenic surroundings added a refreshing charm, making the stay even more memorable. The staff provided outstanding service—always attentive, courteous, and eager to help. Overall, it was a perfect blend of comfort, nature, and fine dining. Highly recommended for anyone seeking relaxation with top-class service.

⭐️⭐️ (2 stars only for the kind staff and good food) I’m giving 2 stars — and that too only because of the extremely generous and polite staff, and the surprisingly good food. Apart from that, the entire stay was a huge disappointment. The rooms were far from clean, full of insects, and felt completely neglected. The bathroom didn’t even have an exhaust fan, and there was no water in the tap — forget about using the shower. It was honestly shocking for a place that claims to be 4 stars property. Cleanliness and basic facilities were completely missing. Definitely not worth the money or the hassle. Wouldn’t recommend unless the management seriously upgrades the property and pays attention to hygiene and guest comfort.

Our stay at Sariska Tiger Camp Resort was nothing short of outstanding. From the moment we arrived, the warm hospitality and serene atmosphere made us feel completely at home. The property is beautifully maintained, offering the perfect blend of comfort and nature. The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavourful, and thoughtfully prepared. Every meal felt like a treat, with a great variety to choose from. A special mention to Mr. Sebastian and Mr. Pravin for their exceptional service. Their attentiveness, professionalism, and genuine care truly elevated our experience. They went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect throughout our stay. Highly recommend Sariska Tiger Camp Resort to anyone looking for a memorable and refreshing getaway. We can’t wait to visit again!

We stayed at Sariska Tiger Camp Resort for our company’s offsite, and it was a wonderful experience. The property is peaceful and green, the rooms were clean and spacious, and the staff was extremely courteous and helpful throughout. The team was also very accommodating with our requests and made sure everything ran smoothly. Would definitely recommend it for group outings or a weekend getaway!
Ayushi S — Google review
The reception staff at this hotel are pathetic, and the property manager is just as bad. From the moment I arrived with two friends, we felt judged by the staff before we even said a word. Despite booking through Cleartrip for a better rate, they changed the room from what was initially shown. Not a single order was delivered on time. The hotel’s infrastructure is terrible and completely fails at basic customer satisfaction. To make matters worse, when we returned from dinner, the main door was locked and the staff were asleep, leaving no security at the entrance. Poor management, especially the arrogant receptionist from Kerala and the rude manager, makes this place unfit for the hospitality industry.

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,

Points of Interest & Landmarks
Harshad Mata Temple is a beautiful temple located 33 kilometers from Dausa, next to the Chand Baori stepwell. It is dedicated to Harshat Mata, the goddess of joy and happiness. The temple's magnificent architecture and intricate sculptural styles are a visual delight.
This temple is an ASI protected monument. The temple is dated back to 8-9th Century and was constructed by King Chand or Chandra of Nikumbha dynasty. It is said that it was this king who had established Abhaneri (earlier known as Abha Nagri – the city of brightness). This east facing temple (an example of Mahmeru style) was built on a raised platform. The sanctum is pancharatha on plan (a hindu temple could be triratha, panchratha, saptaratha or navrathain on plan) with pillared mandapa (a mandapa is the entrance to the temple, it maybe a portico or colonnaded (series of columns placed at regular intervals) hall that incorporates space for large number of worshipers). The temple has a sculpted niche on each buttress of the wall. The sanctum is enclosed by an ambulatory. The cardinal niches show Vishnu (Vasudeva), Balrama (Sanakarshana) and Pradyumna on the south, north and west, indicating that the original temple was dedicated to Lord Vishnu. Presently it enshrines an image of a Devi locally called Harshat Mata (Goddess of happiness). This temple is definitely worth a visit for the beautiful sculptures which are a reflection on the society that was, our beautiful heritage.

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.

The temple is dedicated to Harshat Mata, who is considered to be the goddess of joy and "Happiness". The temple was built in the 9th century AD by King Chand of the Chahamana dynasty. It is built in the Solanki architectural style and is decorated with intricate carvings and sculptures. The temple complex includes a sanctuary, a mandapa, and a pradakshina path. One of the most unique features of the temple is the series of projecting balconies that run along the exterior walls. These balconies are decorated with sculptures of gods, goddesses, and mythical creatures. The temple is also known for its stunning ceiling, which is adorned with beautiful frescoes depicting scenes from Hindu mythology. The frescoes are still visible today and have been restored in recent years. Harshat Mata Mandir is a popular destination for tourists and pilgrims alike. It is located near the famous Chand Baori stepwell, which is also a popular tourist attraction. The temple's ancient architecture, intricate carvings, and rich history make it a must-visit destination for anyone interested in Indian culture and heritage.

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
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.
Chitrak T — Google review
(A must-see for history buffs and thrill-seekers alike) I'd heard the legends for years: Bhangarh, India's most haunted fort, forbidden after sunset. Naturally, my curiosity got the better of me, and I had to see it for myself during a recent trip to Rajasthan. It was an experience I won't soon forget. The Drive and Arrival: The journey itself sets the tone. As we approached the fort, the surrounding landscape became increasingly desolate. We drove past the ruins of what used to be a bustling town—crumbling havelis and empty marketplaces line the road, giving you a real sense of a lost city. It was eerily quiet, save for the occasional monkey scampering across the path. Exploring the Ruins: Once inside, the scale of the place is impressive. It's not a typical hilltop fort; instead, it's nestled in the foothills of the Aravalli range, which gives it a unique, secluded feel. I spent hours wandering through the ancient stone pathways. The architecture is a beautiful blend of Rajput and Mughal styles, with intricately carved temples like the Gopinath and Someshwar Temples still somewhat intact. The main palace is mostly in ruins, but climbing to the top offered a breathtaking panoramic view of the entire complex and the surrounding hills. It's a photographer's paradise during the day. The "Haunted" Vibe: Did I see a ghost? No. Did I feel an unusual chill or hear crying children? Also no. However, there's an undeniable heaviness to the atmosphere, a profound stillness that makes you wonder about the tragic history. The official ASI (Archaeological Survey of India) sign explicitly warning against entry after sunset and before sunrise certainly adds to the mystique, making the ghost stories feel a little more real than they might otherwise. I decided not to hire a guide, but in hindsight, I wish I had; while the ruins are impressive, a local guide's dramatic retelling of the Princess Ratnavati and the cursed tantric stories would have enhanced the experience even more. My Verdict: Bhangarh Fort is absolutely worth a visit. It's not a spooky fright-fest during the day, but a genuinely beautiful and historically fascinating archaeological site. Go for the history, the architecture, and the incredible photo opportunities. Just be sure to time your visit right – I was out of there well before the sun started to dip below the horizon!
DINESH — Google review
What an adventurous trip to Bhangarh Fort! The place is full of mystery and charm. Walking through the old ruins, temples, and palaces feels like stepping back in time. The stories of it being “haunted” add an extra thrill — you actually get goosebumps exploring the silent corners! The backdrop of Aravalli hills makes it even more beautiful, and the view from the fort is just amazing. Perfect spot for history lovers, adventure seekers, and even those who enjoy a little spooky fun. Tip: Go with friends or family, carry snacks and water, and don’t forget your camera — every corner is picture-perfect!

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.

Too much public now a days , so doesn’t looks like that much haunted as we felt previously 😃 over all great mythological story and a must visit place in your itinerary.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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."

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.

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.

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 magnificent blend of history and royalty! City Palace is one of the most impressive attractions in Jaipur.

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 😅

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!

Jantar Mantar in Jaipur is a fascinating 18th-century heritage site that stands as a testament to the astronomical prowess of its creator, Maharaj Sawai Jai Singh II. 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 dargah itself is truly peaceful and spiritually uplifting. You can feel a deep sense of devotion and positivity inside. However, the area around it really needs better management. The roads near the dargah are not very clean, and there are many vendors, auto drivers, and some khadims who try to overcharge or mislead visitors. If you’re visiting, it’s best to stay cautious, avoid giving money unnecessarily, and go directly for your prayers. Despite these issues, the dargah remains a sacred and must-visit place for those seeking peace and blessings.

Many visitors describe a profound sense of serenity and emotional release upon entering the main shrine, feeling instantly connected to the saint's message of compassion and selfless love for humanity. The atmosphere, filled with the fragrance of rose petals and the soft melodies of prayers and qawwalis, is often described as a "balm for the soul" where wishes made with a pure heart are believed to be fulfilled. However, the experience is not without its challenges. Common complaints involve heavy crowds, especially on weekends and during festivals, and the surrounding area's chaotic environment. Multiple reviews caution first-time visitors about pushy touts and individuals seeking donations, advising visitors to be vigilant about their belongings and, if possible, to arrange a trustworthy local guide or visit during less busy hours. Overall, the spiritual aura and historical significance of the Dargah are widely praised, earning it a top ranking among local attractions.

Civic sense is completely missing here. Auto rickshaws and e-rickshaws drop people right at the gate, creating extreme crowding and chaos. The risk of snatching and theft is very high, both inside and outside the premises. A so-called VIP entry is available if you spend ₹10,000 or more, which even allows you to spend an hour inside near the shrine. Sadly, everything feels commercialized—most people (especially the khadims) seem focused only on business, earning lakhs daily. This is my genuine experience. Honestly, I only come here because of my parents.

Visiting Ajmer Sharif Dargah is more than just a trip……it’s a journey of the heart. The moment you enter the lanes leading to the Dargah, life changes pace……shops selling flowers, chadars, and incense line the way……the sound of qawwalis and the calls of shopkeepers blend into a unique rhythm of devotion. The crowd is always there – from locals to travellers from across India and beyond. Some walk barefoot as a mark of respect……others come with families, carrying offerings wrapped in love. It can get very crowded, especially on Thursdays and during Urs festival, so patience and calm are key. Security checks are in place before you enter……and once inside, you’re surrounded by the fragrance of roses and incense. The white marble structure of the shrine glows softly……and the inner sanctum, where Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti rests, feels almost otherworldly. Facilities are basic but available – shoe stands, drinking water points, and restrooms nearby……though the area outside can feel congested. Inside, volunteers help manage the flow of devotees, and there’s a sense of shared respect regardless of background or religion. For me……standing there, with hands folded and eyes closed, all the noise faded……and all that remained was a deep, quiet prayer. You leave not just with memories, but with a strange lightness in the heart……and a reminder that kindness, humility, and love are the truest offerings we can give.

​A visit to the Dargah of Khwaja Gareeb Nawaz, also known as Ajmer Sharif, is an experience that transcends religion and touches the very core of your soul. From the moment you enter the bustling lanes leading to the shrine, you are enveloped in an atmosphere charged with devotion, fragrance, and a powerful sense of unity. ​The stunning Mughal architecture, with its magnificent silver doors and marble courtyard, is a sight to behold. But the true beauty of this place lies in the profound sense of peace that settles upon you as you step inside. Despite the thousands of pilgrims who visit daily, there is a serene and calming energy that makes you feel immediately welcome. People from all walks of life and every faith come here to seek blessings, their faces reflecting a shared hope and reverence. ​Listening to the soulful Qawwali performances is a truly mesmerizing experience that can transport you to another world. It’s in these moments you understand why this sacred shrine is a symbol of love, harmony, and humanity. ​A trip to Ajmer is incomplete without paying homage at this holy site. It’s a deeply moving and spiritually uplifting experience that leaves a lasting impression of peace and reminds you of the power of universal faith.

My visit to the Dargah was an incredibly disappointing experience. The spiritual moment I had hoped for was completely ruined by the surrounding chaos and relentless harassment. The approach to the Dargah is a gauntlet of shops and persistent beggars. Don't fall for the scams. The flowers and Chadar are overpriced—a basic Chadar and flower basket should not cost more than ₹100 and ₹200, respectively. You'll also be pressured by shops to pay for shoe-keeping, but you can easily avoid this by carrying your footwear or leaving it to the right of the entrance. Inside, so-called "guides" will demand money to show you around and perform a puja. They are simply hustlers. We were charged ₹200 for a rushed and unfulfilling tour of the complex. However, the worst part of the visit happens after you leave. You will be absolutely mobbed by beggars who will follow you relentlessly, using guilt to try and extort money from you. This aggressive behavior makes any spiritual or peaceful experience impossible. This place is not worth the effort and is completely skippable.

The evening prayers and ceremonies added to the lake's charm, with devotees gathering to perform rituals and offer prayers.

"Pushkar Lake is, without question, the spiritual heart of the town, offering a genuinely unique and picturesque atmosphere, particularly at sunrise and sunset during the aarti (prayer) ceremonies. The surrounding ghats (steps) and the sight of over 500 temples create a deeply religious and visually stunning environment. The lake has an undeniable serene beauty. Taking holly Dip in lake makes you feel blessed & relaxed.

Hindu temple
Sights & Landmarks
Jagatpita Shri Brahma Mandir is a simple Hindu temple dedicated to the god Brahma, featuring colorful shrines and offering views of the surrounding lake. The temple is located near Pushkar Sarovar and other religious sites, making it a significant location in Hindu texts. Legend has it that Lord Brahma created springs at this site after defeating demon Vajranabha, and later performed a yagna here.
The only Lord Brahma temple on earth! There is a short walk towards the temple - you should visit the Pushkar Ghat before visiting the temple. The queue is well maintained, we kept our shoes and belongings at a local shop and went to the temple. Note - there are a lot of people trying to draw your attention towards you for business gains. Best to ignore them and head straight to the temple.

A soul stirring experience. You get to see the one and only one Brahma temple in the world. Learn the history through your guide Do pitru pind daan or Tarpanam ..even woman/ girls can do for all departed souls. Pay for annadanam which is bit forced on you once you complete the pooja. Anandanam( minimum 2100 upwards) Guide charges Rs 100.. ofcourse you can tip them more Pandit who does your Pooja - 100 upwards All this is at the Brahma ghatt or Tarni ghatt. Then head towards the temple.. Its a beautiful simple temple not made commercial at all which impressed me the most See the only temple with Brahma (4 faced) and his wife Gayatri.

Kumbhalgarh Fort

2 lists 
Fortress
Sights & Landmarks
Kumbhalgarh Fort, a 15th-century hilltop fortress located 84 kilometers north of Udaipur, is a UNESCO-listed site and the birthplace of Mewar's legendary king, Maharana Pratap. Surrounded by a massive 36km-long perimeter wall, the fort was built by Rana Kumbha and is considered the second most important citadel in the Mewar region.
I visited Kumbhalgarh Fort recently, and as someone from the Mewar lineage of Shishodia Rajput, it felt deeply personal. The fort’s massive walls and grand architecture are awe-inspiring, standing proud as a testament to our heritage. Walking through the gates, I felt connected to the bravery of Maharana Pratap and our ancestors. The views of the Aravalli hills are stunning, especially at sunset, and the temples inside add a spiritual touch. The guides were knowledgeable, sharing stories that brought history alive. Nearby stalls offered tasty local snacks we enjoyed.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Incredible Historical Experience at Kumbhalgarh Fort! Visiting Kumbhalgarh Fort was an absolutely amazing experience! The moment you enter, you can feel the royal and historical vibes of Rajasthan. The fort is incredibly well-maintained and full of fascinating architecture — massive gates, beautiful palaces, intricate carvings, and the breathtaking 36 km long wall, which is the second longest in the world after the Great Wall of China! The view from the top is simply spectacular — you can see the entire Aravalli range and the green valleys all around. It’s a perfect place for photography lovers and history enthusiasts alike. I also loved exploring the different temples inside the fort; each one has its own charm and story. The fort area is clean, the local guides are very informative, and the route to reach there is scenic with winding roads and hills. Visiting during sunset is highly recommended — the golden light on the fort looks magical! Overall, Kumbhalgarh Fort is a must-visit for anyone traveling in Rajasthan. It truly showcases the pride, courage, and grandeur of Rajput history. I would love to visit again! 📍 Highly recommended for history lovers, photographers, and anyone who enjoys exploring heritage sites.

Kumbhalgarh Fort is a majestic 15th-century fortress in the Aravalli Hills of Rajasthan, built by Rana Kumbha. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is most famous for its 36-kilometer-long defensive wall, often called the "Great Wall of India," which is the second longest in the world. Perched 1,100 meters above sea level, its strategic location and rugged topography made it virtually impregnable, serving as a vital refuge for the Mewar rulers in times of war. Inside its walls, the fort complex includes over 360 ancient temples and the stunning Badal Mahal, or "Palace of Clouds," which offers a panoramic view of the surrounding landscape. It also holds deep sentimental value as the birthplace of the legendary warrior king, Maharana Pratap. As a fort it is mysterious, this fort cannot seen from ground, when you cross Halla Pol after few meters from there the fort is visible. Except Great Wall and Mahara Pratap birthplace, there is nothing. Museum is closed. Don't take guide, they will charge you 750 for 4 person and also provide some misinformation about museum. Entrance fee is 40 rupees for Indian and 600 for foreigners. Parking is infront of Hanuman Pol. All Historical Artifacts are kept in City Palace Udaipur. So, little bit disappointed.

Visiting Kumbhalgarh Fort with my family was an absolutely goosebumps moment! Standing before this massive World Heritage Site, surrounded by the Aravalli hills, you can instantly feel the power, pride and grandeur of Rajasthan’s history. The fort is truly majestic, built by Rana Kumbha in the 15th century, it’s one of the strongest and most beautiful hill forts in India. The sheer size of the walls stretching over 36 km, often called the “Great Wall of India” is inspiring. It’s hard to believe this was all built centuries ago without modern tools. As we climbed up through the gates and pathways, the views kept getting better. From the top, you get a breathtaking panoramic view of the surrounding hills and forests, it’s the kind of sight that gives you goosebumps and fills you with pride in India’s heritage. The fort’s architecture, temples and palaces inside are beautifully preserved, especially the Badal Mahal, which offers stunning views and a glimpse into royal life. Entry tickets are reasonably priced (₹50 for Indian visitors and ₹200 for foreigners) and there’s ample parking near the entrance. The fort also hosts a light and sound show in the evening, which we highly recommend if you want to experience the fort’s history come alive in a magical way. Overall, Kumbhalgarh Fort is not just a monument t’s an emotion. The scale, history and scenic beauty make it one of the most unforgettable places to visit in Rajasthan. A must-see for every traveler who loves heritage, architecture and the feeling of standing in the footsteps of history!

The fort is very colorful and it has a very good vibe to it. I will recommend people to visit it in winters and the weather when fog is there cause it will just enhance the beauty of that place. It is a must visit place for tourists.

Built in the 15th century by Rana Kumbha, Kumbhalgarh Fort is one of Rajasthan’s most magnificent and well-preserved hill forts. It’s surrounded by an incredible 35 km long wall, often called the Great Wall of India — the second longest continuous wall in the world after the Great Wall of China, and still remarkably intact. The fort’s design is ingenious — it’s visible only from around 200 meters away, blending perfectly into the surrounding Aravalli hills. The first gate is Halla Pol, and about half a kilometer ahead is Hanuman Pol, marked by an idol of Lord Hanuman. The fort first becomes visible halfway between these two gates. After entering Hanuman Pol, you’ll see the ticket window ahead — entry is ₹40 for Indian adults. From there, you proceed through the main gate, Ram Pol, which leads into the main complex. Inside Ram Pol, two paths diverge — the left path takes you uphill towards Badal Mahal, while the right path leads to the temples within the complex. It’s best to climb the fort first while you have energy and enthusiasm, and visit the temples on your way down. On the way up, you’ll pass through Bhairon Pol, Nimboo Pol, Chaugan Pol, Pagda Pol, and Ganesh Pol, before reaching Badal Mahal, which offers breathtaking panoramic views. It takes about 3 hours to comfortably explore the fort, enjoy the views, and take pictures. Spare some extra time if you wish to explore the surrounding temples, as they’re spread across the lower areas. Notable temples include Neelkanth Mahadev, Vedi Temple, Parshvanath Jain, and Ganesh Temple. I also went up to Bawan Devri, a very ancient Jain temple located a bit farther inside — totally worth it. From there, I climbed onto the fort wall and walked along it, which was an amazing and memorable experience. Kumbhalgarh is also the birthplace of Maharana Pratap, the great Rajput warrior. With its massive walls, scenic views, and historic charm, it’s truly a must-visit fort in Rajasthan.

Many parts of the temple still have that timeless, traditional look, which makes it a peaceful and spiritual place to visit. We also did some shopping nearby — the prices were quite reasonable. After our darshan, we tried the kheer, which cost only ₹20. It was thick, creamy, and absolutely delicious — a must-try for anyone who loves sweets! We wanted to explore more, but heavy rainfall started, so we had to cut our visit short. It was our first visit to ShreeNathji Temple, and we’ve attached some pictures to share a glimpse of the experience.

Car needs to be parked a km away , travel in auto and then walk for 500 meters in narrow lanes and unstable road with rubbles . Can see the big idol of shive near parking and The Krishna flute art .

The battlefield spread over six kilometers from Khamnor to Balicha village is known as Haldighati. The museum to be built here at the government level could not be built till date due to corruption. The weapons related to Maharana Pratap and Chetak are safe in the Udaipur City Palace Museum. In Haldighati, private shopkeeping has been promoted in the name of museum.

The garden has lush greenery, fountains, lotus ponds, marble structures, and an artificial water jharana, which make it a nice spot for a relaxing walk. The evening time is especially good for photography because of the soft natural light and calm atmosphere. However, if you expect a very large or grand garden, it may feel a bit smaller than expected. Still, the atmosphere, greenery, and fountain areas make it a pleasant place to visit. Overall, it's a good and peaceful garden to spend 20–30 minutes, especially if you enjoy nature and photography. Saheliyon Ki Bari was built in the 18th century by Maharana Sangram Singh II. According to history, it was created for the 48 maids (saheliyan) who came with the queen as part of her dowry. The king built this garden to give them a peaceful place to relax, spend time together, and enjoy the fountains. This garden was designed as a private retreat for the royal ladies, where they could walk, chat, and enjoy the sound of water fountains away from the palace duties. The fountains work purely on water pressure without any pumps, which shows the excellent engineering of that time. A beautiful, peaceful, and green garden with fountains and photo spots. Good for nature lovers, though slightly smaller than expectations. Worth a quick visit for its history and calm atmosphere

​Saheliyon ki Bari, or the "Garden of Maidens," was built between 1710 and 1734 AD by Maharana Sangram Singh II of Mewar. Its singular purpose was to provide a delightful and exclusive pleasure garden for the royal ladies and their maids of honour, offering a glimpse into a bygone, luxurious life. ​The garden's architectural marvel lies in its harmonious integration of Mughal and Rajasthani styles. It features lush, green lawns and a central lotus pool. The most distinctive elements are the white marble pavilions, or chhatris, which stand elegantly against the backdrop of the white walls. Water is the soul of this space. The garden is famed for its numerous fountains, which are supplied from the nearby Fateh Sagar Lake (and later merged into the Bari by Maharana Fateh Singh). These fountains operate without pumps, using a complex hydrostatic pressure system, a testament to 18th century's engineering. ​Ornamental details are delicate and abundant. Stone carved chhatris feature beautiful floral motifs and repetitive arches, as seen in the dark, richly sculpted archways and canopies. A whimsical fountain, adorned with carved mermaid like figures, stands as a charming focal point in the paved courtyard. Ultimately, Saheliyon ki Bari is a tranquil oasis. Its delicate balance of architecture, floral beds, and the soothing sound of perpetually flowing fountains makes it a beautiful memorial to the private leisure of the royal women of Udaipur.

Saheliyon ki bari - A huge and majestic garden located near the banks of Fateh sagar lake, was built by Maharana Sangram Sinh for the royal ladies. He presented this garden to his queen. The queen was accompanied by 48 maids in her wedding. To offer all of them pleasurable moments away from the political environment, this garden was made. This patterned garden used to be the popular relaxing spot of the royal ladies. It has many sections, fountains, lotus pool and marble elephants. Currently, the fountains are managey electronically. But in the old times, this was managed by the vacuum. The garden is very well maintained and full of greenery. There is a nominal entry fees. Must recommend everyone to visit.

If you love history, beautiful landscapes, and unique architecture, Saheliyon Ki Bari is highly recommended. It’s a wonderful place to appreciate the artistry and thoughtfulness of the Maharana's gift to the royal ladies. Best Time to Visit: Go during the winter months (October to March) or the monsoon (July to September) when the greenery is at its most vibrant. Time Required: You can easily explore the entire garden and the small adjacent museum (which has some interesting artifacts) in 45 minutes to 1 hour. It's a quick, worthwhile stop. Timing: Try to visit in the early morning (opens at 9:00 AM) or late afternoon (around 5:00 PM) to avoid the midday heat and the biggest crowds. Location: It's conveniently located near Fateh Sagar Lake and Sukhadia Circle, making it easy to fit into your itinerary.

Amazing Gardens and fountains built over 200 years ago. Some of the fountains and sprinklers are in wrought iron and imported from Liverpool back then. Some marble fountains are actually marvel fountains with water moving through hollow legs or elephants and out their trunks or through hollow pillars and out the pergola. All of this is using gravity and there are no pumps to keep the water the moving - the water comes from the Fatehsagar lake which is 80 - 90 mts higher than the gardens and the height of the fountain therefore depends on the level of water in the lake. Amazing engineering.......

Visited this garden in Udaipur, entry ticket is ₹30 per person. It’s nicely maintained with clean toilets and even fresh drinking water available at the entry, which is great. The garden itself is good, but since I went during the daytime, the harsh sun made it difficult to enjoy fully. They definitely need more big trees for shade to make the experience more comfortable. The only parts I truly loved were the Savan Bhado and Bin Badal Barsat spots inside the garden - those were beautiful!

Saheliyon Ki Bari always offers an immense and refreshing experience! This was my second visit — the first time was in 2011 after our marriage. The garden is peaceful, calm, and beautifully maintained, with lush greenery, fountains, and charming pathways. It’s the perfect place for a relaxing stroll, quiet reflection, or photography, and it truly captures the serene charm of Udaipur. A must-visit for anyone seeking peace amidst nature and history. 🌿✨

Very long queue both for tickets and entry. Online option is not easily found on the web. Some of the performances were good but some very average, specially the duet snake dance performers, they were both doing their own thing ,no co-ordination and appeared to be very casual. The group dances were good. Overall seemed a little like a tourist trap

Bagore ki haveli offers you 2 kinds of experiences, one is the rich history through its museum and the beautiful view and sunset that you can catch from it's jharokhaas and windows. And the other one is ofcourse the dharohar dance show that you cannot miss at any cost. Book the tickets beforehand and buy another ticket for your camera as it's worth it. I went there thrice, and each time it had something new to offer.

Bagore Ki Haveli is a beautifully maintained heritage haveli located near Gangaur Ghat on Lake Pichola. The entry ticket is ₹60, which makes it a very budget-friendly attraction. You can explore the entire haveli in about 30–45 minutes. Inside, you’ll see old Rajasthani rooms, colorful glasswork, jharokhas, traditional costumes, utensils, masks, turbans, and artwork, which show how people lived in the old Mewar period. It’s also a great place for photography, with beautiful courtyards and mirror work. If you want to watch the traditional folk dance and puppet show, there is a separate ticket for the Dharohar Cultural Show held in the evening. The folk dance, music, and puppet performance offer a wonderful glimpse into Rajasthan’s cultural traditions. Bagore Ki Haveli was built in the 18th century by Amar Chand Badwa, the prime minister of Mewar. Later, it was used by members of the royal family, including Maharana Shakti Singh of Bagore. The haveli has more than 100 rooms, courtyards, and beautifully carved balconies. After years of neglect, it was restored by the West Zone Cultural Centre, which turned it into a museum showcasing Mewar’s heritage. A nice, peaceful heritage spot with affordable entry, perfect for a short visit. Great for learning about old Rajasthani culture and also for enjoying the evening folk dance show.

If you want to witness the full culture of Udaipur, the intricacies, the preserved details, then visit this gem of a place. But pay attention for it is the sanctum sanctorum of the godman of Mewar, Thakur Amar Chand Badwa. Inside there are chambers dark, dusty, classy and machiavellian. Four Maharanas were outclassed, outstrategized, and out-aestheticised by one Pradhan who built a temple to himself and called it home - Bagore Ki Haveli.

City Palace is one of the most stunning heritage complexes in India. The moment you step inside, you feel the grandeur of Mewar royalty. The architecture is a beautiful blend of Rajasthani and Mughal styles, full of intricate carvings, mirrored walls, colourful windows, and vintage courtyards. The museum walk is long but worth every minute — it showcases royal weapons, paintings, royal living rooms, and breathtaking views of Lake Pichola. The palace is maintained very well and gives a true glimpse into Udaipur’s rich history. The best part is the panoramic view from the top — Lake Pichola, Jagmandir, and the entire old city look magical, especially in sunlight. Entry is a bit expensive, but the experience is truly unforgettable.

One of the most beautiful palace I have ever visited. It's very magnificent and well maintained. The museum has lot of information. The weapons used during those days, the paintings, dress and culture all are very well preserved. It's a must visit place. There are authorised guides at the entrance please hire one for 500 to get the detailed information about the palace. Do not exit from the exit gate which you will need to pay 50 more and have to take a boat ride which is way expensive instead exit from the entry gate where there are lot of shopping options. There are is also authentic Rajasthani Thali available inside the palace which is good and reasonable.

The moment you step inside, you are transported into a world of royal grandeur—beautifully preserved courtyards, intricate mirror work, colorful murals, ornate balconies, and corridors that echo centuries of Mewar heritage.

City Palace Udaipur is truly a must-visit! The architecture, lake views, and royal interiors are stunning. The museum is well-maintained and gives a great glimpse into Mewar history.

The place is huge, beautifully maintained, and full of picture-perfect spots. The colorful windows, mirror-work rooms, and lake views are amazing for photography. The staff is polite, and the museum walk is smooth with lots to explore. The lake view from the palace is the highlight — perfect for sunset lovers. Ticket prices are a bit high, but totally worth the experience. Great place for families, couples, history lovers, and anyone visiting Udaipur for the first time.

Lake Pichola, an artificial freshwater lake in Udaipur, Rajasthan, offers boat rides and is home to several islands with palaces. Built in 1362, it was initially intended to meet the city's water and irrigation needs. The lake has four islands including Arsi villa & Jag Niwas, which houses a small palace and a sanctuary for bird watching.
It’s a very scenic and beautiful lake in Udaipur. One of the must visit places. It is near gangaur ghat and Karni Mata temple. You can also do boating but the cost is 800/- per person. It is near city palace for which the entry is too costly which is not worth it. You can come here to relax but avoid the boat ride and the palace visit, you’re not missing much. It can get crowded during the season. There are multiple shops nearby and chats also. Very peaceful at nights.

Sajjangarh Monsoon Palace, also known as Monsoon Mahal, is a stunning white marble palace perched on a high hill in Udaipur. Built by Maharana Sajjan Singh of the Mewar Dynasty, this palace offers breathtaking panoramic views of Fatehsagar Lake and the surrounding countryside.
I visited the Monsoon Palace in Udaipur yesterday and it was great. This is located around 20mins from the city centre and easily accessible using taxis. Entry for foreigners cost INR560 + parking for car on the top cost INR360 and must be bought at the gate. The mountain top location provides amazing views over the lakes and Udaipur which was one of the reasons for the visit. The fort palace is beautiful, well preserved but smaller compared to forts like Amer fort and also hosts a museum. It was a quiet and peaceful visit, highly recommended!
Sanka I — Google review
So I visited the Monsoon Palace recently, and honestly, it’s one of those places that’s more about the view than the palace itself. It’s located on a high hill a bit outside the main city, and once you reach the top, you can literally see all of Udaipur — the lakes, City Palace, and everything else. The view is amazing, especially around sunset or during monsoon when it’s cloudy. Getting there is a bit of a ride though. The road is quite steep and curvy, and it takes around 15–25 minutes to reach the top if you’re going by car or scooty. The entry fee is ₹170 per person, and they also charge ₹300 for cars and ₹70 for two-wheelers. There’s a cab service from the base too, around ₹120 per person if you don’t want to drive up yourself. Once you’re at the top, there’s a small parking area, and you have to walk for about 5 minutes to reach the palace. There’s a small café near the palace that sells basic snacks like samosas, puffs, tea, and cold drinks — nothing fancy but it’s good enough if you just want a quick bite or some water. The palace itself is okay-ish, not very grand or well-maintained, but that’s not really the main attraction. The views from up there totally steal the show. You can see the whole city spread out below — it’s especially beautiful during sunset. Overall, I’d say it’s worth going once, mainly for the views and the drive. Don’t expect a super fancy palace, but if you enjoy scenic spots, it’s a nice little trip.

Breathtaking Views & Royal Vibes – A Must Visit in Udaipur! Monsoon Palace (Sajjangarh Palace) is one of the best viewpoints in Udaipur. The drive up the hill is scenic, and once you reach the top, the panoramic view of the entire city, lakes, and Aravalli hills is absolutely stunning—especially during sunset. The sky turns golden, and the breeze makes the experience unforgettable. The palace itself has a charming old-world feel. It’s not heavily decorated inside, but the location and atmosphere make it worth the visit. The area is well maintained, and there are plenty of spots to sit, relax, and take pictures. Entry fees are reasonable, and there are basic facilities available. Parking is organized, but it can get crowded during peak hours, so arriving a little early is a good idea. Overall, Monsoon Palace is a perfect place for photography, romantic views, and enjoying Udaipur’s natural beauty. Highly recommended—especially during monsoon and sunset! 🌅🏰🌿

The place is beautiful but the tickets rates have gone up. It's around 170-200 per person for Indians + vehicle charges that are close to 200rs. The road features steap curves so keep that in mind if you're taking your vehicle to the top. 'Museum' is little tbh. There's nothing much to see there, it's mostly a good place for a beautiful garden that features the view of the entire city. You can also go to the edge and see the beautiful aravali range as the sun sets. Keep in mind this place is a famous tourist spot and will get very crowded at evenings and weekends. Sometimes the crowd will make it difficult for you to enjoy the view from the top. If you're here for sunsets on a weekend and getting disturbed by the crowd, I suggest you walk down to the cafe at the very entrance of the palace. It's nothing too fancy but it's a few chairs in the garden that give you a free view of the sunset. You can also stop before reaching the palace. There's a spot few hundred meters before the palace that gives you a clear view with little to no crowd. Overall its a good place to visit especially during monsoons 🍻

beautiful spot with one of the best sunset views in Udaipur. The drive up the hill is scenic, and once you reach the top, you get a breathtaking panoramic view of the city, lakes, and surrounding hills. It’s especially nice during or after monsoon when everything looks green and fresh. On the downside, there isn’t much to see inside the palace — it’s more about the view than the structure itself. The entry fee plus vehicle charge can feel a bit high, and the road uphill is narrow, so it’s better to go with a local driver. Also, there’s limited food or water available at the top, so carrying your own bottle is a good idea. Overall, it’s a great place for sunset lovers and photography, but go mainly for the view, not the palace interiors.

Breathtaking Views and Royal Charm Above the Aravallis! Our visit to Monsoon Palace (Sajjangarh Fort) was truly memorable! Perched high on a hilltop, the palace offers one of the best panoramic views of Udaipur city, Fateh Sagar Lake, and the surrounding Aravalli Hills. The palace itself has a simple yet elegant architecture that reflects royal charm and history. Though the interiors are minimal, the real highlight is the location and the spectacular scenery it offers in every direction. The ride to the top can be steep and narrow at places, but the view at the end makes it all worthwhile. There’s also a small café and a few viewing points where you can relax and enjoy the cool breeze. Entry tickets are reasonably priced, and parking is available near the base. A tip: Visit in the late afternoon to enjoy the sunset views. Overall, Monsoon Palace is a must-visit attraction in Udaipur for its serene atmosphere, stunning vistas, and a glimpse into royal history. A perfect spot for photographers, couples, family and anyone who loves nature and scenic views!

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

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