Nestled in the serene village of Jana Gaon, about 32 km from Manali, Jana Waterfall is a hidden gem surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty. The backdrop of snow-capped mountains and lush greenery makes it a paradise for nature enthusiasts and photographers. Visitors can enjoy the picturesque views of the waterfall, set amidst pine forests and apple orchards.
It truly is. A little gem high up on the mountain with clear water crisp air gorgeous trees amazing birds and a stunning view to be blown away.. it’s easier to take a car and go, do climb up.. wear comfortable walking shoes as the view up is lovely.. don’t forget to buy some shawls from the ladies stalls near the waterfall and definitely eat at the himachali dhaba down it’s manned by a Bengali family but the cuisine is himachali that’s our national integration at its best.. take the Thai as they serve a lot I’d things in it and it’s quite economical..

What it lacks in size, it makes up in beauty, ambience and liveliness. The waterfall is accessible, the water is sparkling and cold, and local hospitality adds its own charm. Best appreciated before the peak season crowds jam the place.
Subrata R — Google review
All in all - its just a theek thaak waterfall. JANA on the other hand is a bful place to stay Waterfall starts when one starts moving uphill from naggar. Water trail can be seen at many places, but this is the best of them. It is located 15 mins from Jana village - 15 mins when you ride continuously. In season, one should park vehicle before and walk to the waterfall for lot of tourists may cause jam. The road from Naggar is good only in patches, and its not a very wide road. By the time one reaches waterfall, there is no sign of pucca road. - i guess the work is currently in progress. if one continues to go uphill, one will reach Bijli Mahadev Temple

I went in June mid, there wasn’t much water flowing in the water fall. The road with pine trees is amazing. Waterfall itself wasn’t that good but the journey was great. The road is problematic towards the end so take care.

Peaceful Spot but Not Worth the Tough & Far Journey Jana Waterfall, nestled in the quiet village of Jana Gaon near Kullu, offers a serene and refreshing setting. The small stream that gently winds through the rocks and falls over a short distance is indeed beautiful, with its soothing sound and natural charm. The simplicity and natural beauty of the place are quite pleasing, especially if you're already in the area. However, the journey from Manali is long and the road conditions are quite poor. Considering the size and scale of the waterfall, it may not justify the effort and time it takes to get there unless you're combining the visit with nearby attractions or are keen to explore remote village life. A good stop for those seeking peace and a rustic Himachali lunch nearby, but manage your expectations if you're heading out solely for the waterfall.

Peaceful Beauty at Jana Waterfall – A Hidden Gem in Kullu-Manali Jana Waterfall is a serene and refreshing spot nestled in the hills near Kullu-Manali. The journey to the waterfall is scenic, surrounded by lush greenery, apple orchards, and charming mountain views. It's a perfect escape from the crowded tourist areas. The waterfall itself may not be very huge, but the natural beauty and calm atmosphere make it totally worth visiting. You can also enjoy delicious Himachali food (like siddu and rajma chawal) at the local dhabas nearby — simple but authentic! It's an amazing place to relax, take photos, and enjoy the local vibe. Best visited during monsoon or early morning hours for the freshest view. Highly recommended if you love peaceful nature and offbeat locations. Would love to visit again!

🌄✨ Divine Serenity at Gurudwara Sahib Manikaran ✨🌄 Visiting Gurudwara Sahib in Manikaran was a soul-touching experience that words can barely capture. Nestled amidst the majestic Parvati Valley, this sacred place radiates peace and spiritual energy like no other. The sound of the flowing river beside the Gurudwara, the chants echoing in the air, and the welcoming aura of seva (selfless service) makes you feel instantly connected and grounded. The hot springs here are not just a natural wonder but also a symbol of faith—used to cook the langar (community meal), which is offered with so much love and humility. 🙏🍛 Whether you’re a spiritual seeker or simply exploring the beauty of Himachal, this place leaves a lasting impact. The calmness, the divine energy, and the scenic beauty all come together to create an experience that’s both humbling and uplifting. 🧡 Highly recommended—not just for the religious significance, but for the powerful sense of peace it brings. A must-visit gem in the heart of Himachal! 🌿✨

Stayed for 3 days in the year 2017. The Gurudwara welcomes everyone with open arms and teaches humility and community service. Taking a dip in the hot pond which is all natural is the best thing. The marvel of life rice being cooked in hot spring water. Safe for girls.

During our trip to Manikaran in Himachal Pradesh, we had a truly unforgettable experience surrounded by natural beauty and spiritual serenity. The highlight of our visit was the famous Manikaran Sahib Gurudwara, where we were warmly welcomed and served delicious free food, known as Prasad, in the community kitchen (langar). It was heartwarming to see people from all walks of life sitting together and sharing a meal in such a peaceful environment. Just beside the Gurudwara, we marveled at the natural hot springs that are believed to have healing properties. The steam rising from the springs in the cool mountain air created a magical atmosphere. Watching people cook rice and lentils in the hot spring water was both fascinating and unique. The entire experience combined spiritual peace, natural wonder, and human kindness in a way that left a lasting impression on all of us.
Srikanta M — Google review
Gurudwara Sahib Manikaran is a truly divine and spiritual place nestled in the beautiful Parvati Valley. It's a sacred spot for both Sikhs and Hindus, with a peaceful Gurudwara and an ancient Shiv Mandir located side by side. One of the unique features here is the natural hot water springs and even a hot cave, which adds to the mystical charm of this place. The spiritual vibe, the free langar (community meal), and the serene surroundings make it a must-visit destination in Manikaran. Whether you're on a religious journey or just exploring Himachal, don’t miss this sacred and soulful experience.

Hot Water Spring, located on the way to Kheerganga, offers a picturesque environment and is popular for its bathing and therapeutic benefits. The springs provide a refreshing break and scenic spots for photography. Another hot water spring at Manikarnika, 45km from Kullu, can be reached by bus or taxi. Situated near the Parvati river bank, these springs emerge along the river over a distance of about 1.3 kms.
After boiling the water, it is poured into the river, which can add some heat during the cold weather in Kasol .

Aditya J — Google review
This was my first experience with a hot spring and I was pleasantly surprised. It covered a bigger area than what I expected and the water was optimally hot for a bath. One thing about this spring is that the place seems to be neglected and the lighting is downright poor. I would suggest paying a visit to this place during the morning or the afternoon as you will not have to deal with the darkness. Totally worth checking out as there isn't a lot of hot springs in India.
Balasubramanian G — Google review
Beautiful place with nice scenery. Mountains all around and the hot water spring is just amazing. Nature is so wonderful that between the chilling snow and super cold weather, you will see boiling hot water coming out of nowhere. Awesome place to visit if you are planning for a trip to Himachal Pradesh.

A beautiful place... Lots of stories to explain the hot water spring! One would be awe of the place once you reach there!

It is a peaceful and beautiful spot surrounded by nature. It holds religious importance as it is linked to Sage Rishi Parashar..so visitors are requested to avoid smoking, drinking or loud music.

Pics are from 2019. One serene place to visit. Can be reached both by trekking and by bus. They say the water of the lake is holy. • Floating Island Phenomenon At its center floats a small island of vegetation that shifts position over time-covering roughly 7 % of the lake's surface, with the remaining 93 % water Local lore frames it as a "microcosm of Earth" and says its motion foretells natural events • Spiritual Significance A three-storied pagoda-style temple stands on the shore, dedicated to Rishi Parashara. Built in the 13th-14th century by King Ban Sen of Mandi, it was reportedly carved from a single deodar tree and decorated with fine woodwork. The site sees major festivals like Rishi Panchami, Sauranahulia, and other fairs that draw pilgrims from across neighboring valleys. . Legendary Origin According to myth, after the Kurukshetra War, Bhima-one of the Pandavas-struck a mountain with his elbow to create a depression in which the lake formed for Lord Kamrunag, who wanted to stay there forever.

Parashar Lake, is a freshwater lake located in the Mandi district of Himachal Pradesh, India at an altitude of 2,730 meters. It is named after Rishi Parashar, an ancient Hindu sage and father of Krishna Vyas, who is believed to have meditated here.

Jalori Pass, also known as Jalori Jot, is a stunning mountain pass located in the Kullu district of Himachal Pradesh, India. At an elevation of 10,800 feet, it offers breathtaking alpine views and is surrounded by picturesque scenery. Visitors can explore the area by staying in Shoja and driving down to Jalori Jot to embark on a hike to the popular Sareyol Lake near the Jalori Jot temple or towards an ancient fort.
Spectacular view from the top! The snow was fresh and clean, it felt so good to be here. The trek to the top (of the viewpoint) is not extremely difficult and quite attainable — even if you have aged folks in your group. You can seek help from the guides outside the main gate if you want any support material like walking sticks or gumboots/snow boots. These are available on rent.
Pratyay — Google review
I visited Jalori Pass during my solo trip in June 2024 and even without snow the place felt magical. The moment you start heading up from Jibhi the scenery begins to change. The road is around 12 km but it’s very steep and narrow and if a vehicle comes from the opposite direction there can be huge traffic especially around the curves. So if you’re driving yourself or even taking a cab just be prepared for that. You can get a shared cab from Jibhi to the starting point or if you have time you can wait for the local bus which comes every one or two hours. Once you reach the top you will find a small temple and a few stalls selling tea Maggi and snacks. I took a short break there before starting the 360 viewpoint trek. The trek itself is about 45 minutes to an hour depending on your speed. It’s slightly steep in places but very doable and the trail goes through pine trees and greenery all around. The higher you go the more peaceful it gets. And the view from the 360 viewpoint is simply stunning. You can see the Pir Panjal and Dhauladhar mountain ranges surrounding you in every direction. It feels like the sky opens up and the mountains just keep rolling one after the other. I sat there for a long time just soaking in the view breathing in the cold fresh air and enjoying the silence. It was one of the most calming moments of my trip. This is the kind of place that doesn’t need too many words or activities. Just reaching there sitting quietly and looking at the mountains is enough to make you feel peaceful. Highlights Breathtaking views from the 360 viewpoint Peaceful forest trail with pine trees and mountain air Small temple and local food stalls at Jalori Pass Surrounded by Pir Panjal and Dhauladhar ranges Perfect for a short peaceful solo trek Tips The road from Jibhi is very narrow and steep so drive carefully and avoid rush hours Shared cabs are available or wait for a local bus if you are on a budget Wear comfortable shoes the trail is short but has some steep parts Carry a water bottle and light snack for the trek Early mornings or late afternoons have the best weather and fewer people

Bus drops off right at the temple and you can start trek straight away. 5km one way through the forest. On the other side is Raghupr fort another trek.The lake is small pond.Serolsar Lake is in Tirthan Valley of Himachal Pradesh, located 75 km away from Kullu. The lake is situated at an altitude of 10,170 ft. To access the lake, you've to trek for 5 km. The trek starts from Jalori Pass, the highest altitude point that connects Kullu valley and Shimla Valley. The lake is guarded by thick tall pine trees on all sides. Next to the lake is Budhi Nagin temple. Serolsar Lake is surrounded by a narrow track and a fence around it. The Serolsar Lake wears stunning colours during different times of the year. The lake looks white during winter, half snow-covered and half green during spring and summer, and lush green during monsoon and post-monsoon. This is something worth observing if you have the oppurtuinty to trek multiple times to this lake. Apart from the scenic beauty, the Serolsar lake has religious significance as well. Ilt is a pilgrimage place for the locals. Locals from the surrounding villages come here every saturday to do the parikrama. They mostly offer ghee and oil to the local diety. It is believed the goddess is submerged in the lake and protects the entire region. Serolsar Lake trek is a paradise for someone who loves forest trails. The entire trail is through the dense pine and deodar forests. You also encounter clearings after every hour of the trek which makes them nice resting spots for trekkers to rejoice. From the 360-degree Viewpoint, you get great views of Pir Panjal and the Great Himalayan range. Serolsar Lake trek is an easy trek. It can be done by both fit beginners and experienced trekkers. It's a series of gradual ascents and descents until you reach the lake. The only steep ascent you encounter on this trail is the one that takes you to the 360-degree Viewpoint.

Jalori Pass offers a delightful escape into nature, boasting a moderate 5 KM trek to a serene lake, enveloped by a dense, tranquil forest. The weather here is exceptionally pleasant, noticeably cooler than the Tirthan Valley, providing a refreshing contrast. It's an ideal spot for those seeking a peaceful walk amidst stunning natural beauty, offering a perfect blend of adventure and tranquility.

Jalori pass ... The most beautiful trek I have witnessed Start from SoJa . Went during February end and it's the last snow of that season. The whole trek was covered with snow .. 2 feet deep. And it's just heavenly. - wear snow boots as u can get cold feet and take a good amount of food and water if you are starting this Trek. - at the top around 12 km away is the mountain 360 degree view and a beautiful temple is located. - there all the camps and food stalls are available but during heavy snow , all get covered and shut down. - from the temple there is a trek of 3 km to the fort - for having a fort view. - also 2 km away from this point going above is the place where 🎥 " yeh Jawani hai devani" movie shoot was held.. it's just snow covered trek and you can see all way the white 🤍🤍🤍 color.. - the trek is just freaking awesome and you will have wonderful picture points and views during the journey. ❄️❄️ Feel and Experience this beautiful 🤩🤩 snow covered place.

Jalori Pass - The most beautiful place I have ever seen. At entrance you will see the temple of Mahadev and Durga Maa. In snow ❄️, Jalori pass looks absolutely stunning, beautiful, awesome, I won’t have words to describe this place beauty, all the around if you will se their would be snow covered mountains 🏔️ with surrounding trees make this place looks more eye catching and beautiful. The people here around are so nice and friendly. I visited this place on march 21, 2025. At that time it was all around snow and make sure you take up warm clothes when you visit here, because in the evening the temperature plunges very down, and chilled air make you feel more colder and coldest so caps, mufflers, gloves along with very warm jackets make you feel warmer over here.

Viceregal Lodge, also known as Rashtrapati Niwas, is a historic structure in Shimla that served as the summer residence of the Indian Viceroy from 1888 to 1946. It is a significant site for history and architecture enthusiasts, featuring Mock-Tudor architecture surrounded by well-maintained gardens. The lodge has been repurposed into an advanced university complex, limiting access to only a few staterooms during guided tours.

This place is really beautiful, it takes you back to the British era. There’s a lot of greenery outside and the views are amazing. You need a ticket to visit both inside and outside. Inside, it gives a very royal feeling and you also get to learn about the history

The Indian Institute of Advanced Study (IIAS) is a research institute in Shimla, housed in the former Viceregal Lodge, a must visit Historical place..built between 1884 and 1888 as the summer residence for the Viceroy of India. After India's independence, the lodge was renamed Rashtrapati Niwas (President's House). Loads of jaw dropping advanced features built e.g. Concealed Electrical wiring, advanced Fire fighting system, 200 years old working pendulum, walnut interiors. etc... Its amazing..!! It also contains rare archives, If you are visiting Shimla and keep interest in History...a must must visit. PS - Photography inside the building is prohibited.

The Viceregal Lodge in Shimla is one of those places that instantly takes you back in time. The moment you step inside, you’re surrounded by extraordinary architecture, intricate woodwork, and an atmosphere that reflects the grandeur of the British era. The building itself is absolutely stunning — every corridor, staircase, and room tells a story of its own. The lush gardens outside and the panoramic views from the hilltop add even more charm to the visit. We took the guided tour, which was informative and helped us understand the historical significance of each section of the lodge. However, I personally felt that the tour was a bit rushed. Even though the guide mentioned that we could take our time, we were quickly moved from one room to another. I would have loved to pause longer and really soak in the details — the furniture, the photos, and the artifacts that make this place so special. Despite that, it’s a must-visit attraction in Shimla. The architecture alone makes it worth the trip, and if you’re someone who appreciates history, art, or old-world charm, you’ll definitely enjoy it here. I’d recommend visiting early in the day to truly take in its beauty and peaceful surroundings.

Vicergal lodge named as 13 British viceroys used this placec as residence and used as their capital for 8months every year as summer capital. Draft of partition of India was discussed here. Dr S Radhakrishnan converted this to educational institute IIAS, now offers advanced studies in social science and humanities. British era history involved in this building. 137 years old now. But sad to see poor maintenance and upkeep of structure inspite of hefty entry fee to stay 30 mins inside the building as guided tour.

Situated at 2.5 kms from Shimla railway station, this used to the de-facto power base in India during the British times for 8 months. The first building in Shimla to get electricity, it also saw time as Independent India's first President House for around a decade. Guided tours are available but too many people are stuffed in them and one can't properly appreciate the amount of history (usually in form of images and lettering). A proper way would be to let people go in and browse at their own leisure. Alas, one can't have that. Only the ground floor is accessible (4 odd rooms) to public. There is a lawn and small garden outside as well.

Nestled amidst the misty peaks of Shimla, the Viceregal Lodge stands as a testament to India's colonial past, a grand edifice that whispers tales of viceroys and vanished empires. As I approached this architectural marvel, perched on Observatory Hill, the crisp mountain air carried the scent of pine and history, instantly transporting me to an era of opulence and intrigue. Built in 1888 as the summer residence for the British Viceroy of India, the lodge exudes an aura of regal elegance. Its Tudor-style architecture, with sloping roofs, ornate chimneys, and intricate stonework, blends seamlessly with the Himalayan landscape. The red-brick facade, adorned with Gothic arches and stained-glass windows, evokes a fairy-tale castle, yet grounded in the rugged beauty of the hills. Stepping inside, I was greeted by polished wooden floors that creaked softly underfoot, echoing the footsteps of luminaries like Lord Kitchener and Lord Curzon, who once paced these halls. The interiors are a treasure trove of Victorian splendor. The Durbar Hall, with its soaring ceilings and crystal chandeliers, once hosted lavish balls and diplomatic gatherings. Antique furniture, Persian rugs, and oil paintings of British royalty adorn the rooms, while the library shelves brim with leather-bound tomes that hint at the intellectual pursuits of yore. Wandering through the private chambers, I imagined the whispers of secret councils and the clink of champagne glasses, all preserved in meticulous detail by the Archaeological Survey of India. What truly captivates is the lodge's panoramic views. From the terrace, Shimla unfolds like a watercolor painting—rolling hills dotted with colonial bungalows, the distant snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas piercing the sky, and the bustling Mall Road below. On a clear day, the vista is breathtaking, a reminder of why this spot was chosen for respite from the plains' heat. The surrounding gardens, with their manicured lawns and exotic flora, offer serene spots for reflection, where one can lose track of time amidst the chirping birds and gentle breeze. Visiting Viceregal Lodge isn't just a historical detour; it's an immersive journey into India's layered heritage. The entry fee is modest, and guided tours provide fascinating insights without overwhelming the senses. For history buffs, architecture enthusiasts, or anyone seeking a peaceful escape, this lodge is indispensable. It left me with a profound appreciation for the past's enduring charm, urging me to return and uncover more secrets. In a world of fleeting trends, Viceregal Lodge remains a beautiful, unchanging beacon of grace and grandeur.

The Viceregal Lodge, also known as the Rashtrapati Niwas, is one of Shimla’s most magnificent and historically rich landmarks. Perched on Observatory Hill, this grand Scottish-style mansion was once the summer residence of the British Viceroy of India — a place where many important decisions shaping modern India were made. Built in 1888, the architecture is a masterpiece of grey stone walls, intricate woodwork, and lush gardens that overlook the hills. Every corridor inside tells a story — from the polished teak interiors to the grand staircase that echoes the footsteps of history. The guided tour gives fascinating insights into the colonial era, showing original furniture, photographs, and relics from the time when Shimla was the summer capital of British India. Outside, the lawns are perfectly manicured, offering breathtaking views and a serene atmosphere ideal for slow walks and reflection. Whether you’re a history lover, architecture enthusiast, or simply someone who appreciates timeless beauty, the Viceregal Lodge is a must-visit in Shimla.

Shree Hanuman Temple, Jakhu, Shimla

Mentioned on

Hindu temple
Sights & Landmarks
Shree Hanuman Temple, Jakhu is a picturesque mountaintop Hindu temple in Himachal Pradesh, featuring a massive sculpture of Lord Hanuman and inhabited by many wild monkeys. The area also boasts other significant temples like Bhimakali Temple and Sankat Mochan Temple. Visitors can take different roads leading to various attractions such as Ramchandra Chowk and Rich Mount, offering stunning views of the snow-clad Himalayan peaks.
The most famous and prominent Hanuman Temple in Shimla is the Jakhu Temple (also spelled Jakhoo Temple). It is a major landmark and a must-visit for tourists and devotees. Here is key information for other people: Jakhu Temple, Shimla The Jakhu Temple visit was, without a doubt, the absolute highlight of my Shimla trip. This place is so much more than just a temple; it’s an experience that combines thrilling transport, breathtaking views, deep spirituality, and a touch of wild adventure. Getting There: Take the Ropeway! I highly recommend taking the Jakhu Ropeway. The steep hike (about 45 minutes) is there for the adventurous, but for comfort and the sheer aerial view, the cable car wins. For a few hundred rupees, you get a short, smooth, and scenic ride that lifts you right over the pine trees. It's truly a cinematic ascent, where Shimla city slowly unfolds below you like a miniature town. It saves time and energy, which you'll need for soaking up the atmosphere at the top. The Colossal Hanuman Statue The moment you step off the ropeway, you are greeted by the magnificent, towering presence of the 108-foot Lord Hanuman statue. Its vibrant orange color stands out so beautifully against the blue sky and green hills. It's a marvel of engineering and a powerful symbol of faith. You can see this statue from The Ridge and The Mall Road, but standing right at its base, looking up, is awe-inspiring. It truly feels like the silent guardian of Shimla. The Temple and the View The ancient temple itself is nestled amongst thick deodar forests and has a wonderfully tranquil, spiritual atmosphere. The air is filled with the calming scent of incense and the sound of bells. It is believed that Lord Hanuman's footprint is preserved here, which adds a deep layer of mythology to the visit. From the temple complex, the panoramic views are unbeatable. You get a 360-degree vista of the surrounding snow-capped Himalayan ranges, the winding valleys, and Shimla's charming, colonial-style rooftops. We caught it around sunset, and the golden hour lighting up the mountains was simply unforgettable

A must-visit place for nature and spirituality lovers alike.

Very beautiful temple of God Hanuman. Temple itself is very beautiful. I would recommend to visit it early morning to get less crowd and good pictures. This temple is on top of mountain. Be careful these wild monkeys may snatch your mobile or caps.
Ganesh S — Google review
Points to be noted 1. Please be aware of cabs for visiting temple. 2. Rates can be negotiated 3. Path is very odd hence ropeway and cabs are the only way to visit. 4. Cabs for temple are far away from mall road. Hence it is suggested not to take senior citizens and people having knee problems. 5. Once cabs drops you near temple there are stairs followed by escalator. 6. 20 rupees per person is the rate for 2 escalators which takes you to temple. Or one can go by stairs.

Visited Jakhu Temple in Shimla for Hanuman Ji’s darshan. We took a private van from the Clock Tower for ₹300 (up & down for two people), though there’s also an HRTC bus available for around ₹30 which comes every 30–50 minutes. There are a lot of monkeys around; they’re not harmful but you need to be careful with your belongings. Standing below the huge Hanuman statue and offering prayers felt truly divine and peaceful. A must-visit spot for a calm spiritual experience.”

Kufri Fun World is a vibrant year-round theme park that promises an exhilarating experience filled with rides, adventure sports, and winter snow activities. Visitors rave about the fantastic atmosphere and the dedicated staff who ensure every detail contributes to a memorable day of fun. While some guests noted discrepancies between advertised activities and actual offerings—highlighting only five main attractions—they still found joy in experiences like horse riding and go-karting.
It is a true adventure hub for thrill-seekers. The winding roads leading up are both scenic and adventurous, offering stunning views with every turn. Once there, the place comes alive with activities—zip lining across valleys gives a rush like no other, and the off-road safari through rugged trails adds an extra dose of excitement. Kufri is perfect for those who love both nature and adventure, combining breathtaking mountain landscapes with adrenaline-pumping experiences.

If someone plans to visit, please make sure to visit between the months of July and October. We visited in the month of April and were very sad to see fallen apple trees. Still the people show a full of apples garden and charge a lot of money which is not at all worth it. There are only 2 ways to visit this place. One is a horse ride and the other is a 4X4 vehicle drive. People here charge Rs.1500 for horse ride per head and Rs.2000 for vehicle drive. This package includes 6 adventure rides and 6 places to see. To be Frank, no one will be able to do all the 6 rides and visit all the 6 places. Additionally, once you enter inside, you will be forced to opt for an ATV ride for about 1.5 km which is again Rs.500. Spending money is not a deal but trust me the money that you're gonna spend here is not at all worth it. A kind note that your outfit will definitely become muddy by the time you come out. It's really beneficial to carry a mask with you since this place is full of mud.

Worth exploring locals are so humble and polite selling food and drinks on top of hill with a nominal pricing. Activities are horse riding, yak photo shoot, Gypsy or 4X4 car ride on top, and other adventure activities. Also must try telescopic views activity there.

Kufri: 1. Gypsy Ride: ₹6,000 for 4 people (3rd week of april 25) seems not reasonable, also the ₹50/person environmental charge wasn't reflected in the cleanliness. Areas for Improvement 1. Cleanliness: Despite the environmental/cleanliness charge, the area didn't seem clean. 2. Crowds: Rides were overcrowded, which might detract from the experience. Recommendations 1. Gypsy Off-Roading: Although pricey (₹1500/person), it's a unique experience worth considering. 2. Alternative Options: For smaller adventures, other options might be more suitable.

Visiting the Red Fort during Navratri is truly a magical experience, where history meets festivity. The grandeur of this UNESCO World Heritage site gets an added charm with the festive vibes of Navratri. The massive red sandstone walls look even more majestic when lit up with decorative lights, giving the fort a vibrant yet spiritual glow. The evenings are especially lively — cultural programs, devotional music, and traditional dance performances create an atmosphere that celebrates both our heritage and the spirit of the festival. Walking around, you can feel the energy of people dressed in colorful attire, offering prayers, and enjoying the Navratri spirit with their families. The food stalls outside and nearby are another highlight, serving a mix of festive special vrat food and traditional Delhi street snacks. Whether it’s sabudana khichdi, kuttu ki puri, or a comforting chai, the flavors add to the overall experience. One of the best parts is the sense of unity you feel here. Tourists, locals, and devotees all come together to enjoy the festival in the backdrop of one of India’s most iconic monuments. The combination of historical richness and festive spirit makes it an unforgettable visit.

Red fort - Delhi A true piece of architecture !!! Walls of the fort goes feets above and feets wider. Fort surrounded by the deep waters makes enemies difficult to enter. Through the main gate you can enter and then you can start seeing some amazing entrance walls. After that there white stone monuments where it's restricted to enter but you can see from closure look. There are meausems inside the fort and had amazing collections of history. You need minimum of 2 to 3 hous of time to see every architecture of the red fort. We took tour bus and rushing to see all the places but couldn't make it to meausems. Well mentained gardens and there are good facilities and sit and rest. If you're visiting during the month of March to September make sure you are carrying enough water and electrols. During winters it's best time to visit and wear warms cloths and enjoy the weather.

One of the best places to visit in Delhi. Here, you truly see many colours of life — and if you’re not mature enough, this place will teach you what real humility looks like. Me and my friends were so touched that we took an oath: If we achieve something in life, we will sponsor one day of langar. That’s how deeply this place impacted us. People come in high-end luxury cars and still do seva — serving langar, working in the cloakroom, picking up others’ shoes and cleaning them. If you think you’ve achieved something in life, come here once. You’ll see people far above you doing seva with such simplicity and grace that it humbles your ego instantly. We visit this place every time we have a late-night train from Delhi Station. The food is simple, pure, and truly feeds your soul. Please be respectful towards their customs and rituals. This place isn’t just for visiting — it’s for experiencing, learning, and feeling.

A Soulful Evening with V-Gather at Bangla Sahib Gurudwara As a member of V-Gather, Delhi NCR’s most vibrant meetup group for weekend activities, heritage walks, and making new friends, I recently had the privilege of visiting Bangla Sahib Gurudwara with the group. The experience was nothing short of transformative. From the moment we stepped inside, a sense of peace enveloped us. The stunning golden dome glistened under the evening sky, and the soothing sounds of Gurbani (holy hymns) created an atmosphere of serenity. Our group of curious explorers, including many first-time visitors, was warmly welcomed by the volunteers. We learned about the rich history of the Gurudwara and the selfless service it represents. The highlight of our visit was the Langar—the community kitchen that serves free meals to thousands daily. Volunteering in the Langar, even for a short while, was a humbling experience. Preparing food, serving meals, and witnessing the seamless teamwork among volunteers left a deep impression on all of us. Sharing a simple yet delicious meal sitting alongside people from all walks of life felt like a beautiful lesson in equality and humanity. The Sarovar (holy water tank) added to the tranquility, with its clear waters reflecting the Gurudwara’s grandeur. We spent moments sitting by its edge, soaking in the spiritual vibes and engaging in heartfelt conversations. For many in our group, this visit was not just about exploring a heritage site but about connecting with their inner selves and with one another. Bangla Sahib Gurudwara is more than a religious place—it’s a sanctuary of peace, service, and unity. It provided the perfect setting for our V-Gather meetup, allowing us to bond over shared experiences and meaningful moments. If you haven’t visited yet, do so with an open heart. You’ll leave with a lighter soul and a renewed perspective. Thank you, Bangla Sahib, for an unforgettable evening. And thank you, V-Gather, for yet another beautiful memory!

Super polluted and over crowded , this place is good wide open park and water areas to sit and spend good time with friends and family but but its so crowded and polluted that you can barely see india gate, all smoke and no visibility at 50-100m , and so many tour guides and travel group counting on your money, with some scammer and lots lots of force photographer, save your money, time and health, its better you divert towards any low crowd and good air place, i stopped smoking for quite sometime now but when i went to delhi i felt chest burn and heavy breathing problems. But its a good protected area , if government take proper steps then that place looks majestic

I recently visited India Gate, and it was a beautiful experience. The atmosphere felt calm and patriotic, especially in the evening when the entire area lights up. Standing in front of the monument and reading the names of the soldiers felt emotional and reminded me of India’s history and sacrifice. Overall, my visit to India Gate was peaceful, memorable, and definitely worth it. I would recommend everyone to visit at least once, especially during sunset.

Akshardham An amazing beautiful peaceful temple. Must visit place if you are in New Delhi. Metro station also there and is just 100 meter apart. Akshardham is really beautiful the main temple is really beautifully crafted. The outer architecture is beautiful and also the inner marbel architecture was more than beautiful. The roof of the main temple is just amazing. The best and the most beautiful part is the main temple where the colors are too good. Note :- You can not take your phone 📱, camera 📷, so you have to stand in the queue to summit them in the cloak room. Secure cloak room 5/5. After the cloak room there is a security check which will be done in a minute you just have to remove your wallet and belt and that's it they will check you and let you pass. Strong security check. Best place to visit.

Goosebumps!! What a spectacular sight.... The beauty of this temple and its surrounding can not be described in words. Its just like a painting on a canvas. Even after so much of crowd, this place is yet very peaceful and relaxing for your soul. The light show and musical fountain add to the beauty of this place. MUST VISIT
Nikhil B — Google review
The architecture is undoubtedly breathtaking and this place is worth a visit. However the staff is rude, timings of rides and events are not mentioned correctly on the website and not allowing purses or phones inside is incomprehensible. Why should we be asked to return or have to leave our valuables insecurely in cabs. Why not be transparant and allow cellphones. And what harm can purses and bags do...just use security measures. Even airports allow bags, so why shouldn't this place!!!

I visited the Lotus Temple last week, and it was a beautiful and peaceful experience. The architecture is stunning, the white marble structure shaped like a blooming lotus looks even more impressive in person. The place is surrounded by well maintained gardens that add to the calm atmosphere. Inside the temple, it’s completely silent, which feels very soothing and gives you space to reflect or pray in your own way. It’s open to people of all religions, which makes it feel inclusive and welcoming. The only downside is that it can get a bit crowded, especially on weekends, but the queue moves quickly and the staff manages everything well.

Get a chance to visit Lotus temple. A very nice place to visit. Huge gardens, well maintained and super clean. People are not allowed to enter the gardens. Well spreaded walking paths, shoe counters near the Lotus temple. Though it is called a temple but actually there is no any statue of any God. It is a quite clean vacant place for worship or one can say place for Meditation. The temple dome is built like a Lotus flower with a huge hall inside, number of benches for the devotees to sit and worship their respective God or Meditate.

The Lotus Temple is a very beautiful temple—truly stunning. Although there is no idol of any deity here, people come to pray. It’s one of the major landmarks of Delhi. We couldn’t go inside because some maintenance work was going on. There’s no entry ticket, and the temple is surrounded by a gorgeous flower garden. I really enjoyed visiting this place.

Entry to the Lotus Temple is completely free, which is great, but there is usually a huge crowd, so expect some waiting time. The place itself is very peaceful with a calm ambience.

The Lotus Temple in Delhi is one of the most peaceful places I have ever visited. The temple is shaped like a white lotus flower, which makes it look very beautiful and calm from the moment you see it. As you walk inside, you enter a large, quiet hall where people from all religions can sit, meditate, and pray in complete silence. The stillness of the place makes you feel relaxed and connected to your inner self. As a spiritual traveler, I loved how open and welcoming the temple felt. There are no idols or chants—just silence, which makes it perfect for meditation and reflection. The gardens around the temple are also very soothing, and sitting there feels refreshing after the noise of the city. If you are looking for a peaceful spot to clear your mind and experience spiritual calmness, the Lotus Temple is a wonderful place to visit.

“A Marvel of History and Architecture” Qutub Minar is one of the most breathtaking historical monuments in India and an absolute must-visit when in Delhi. The towering minaret, with its intricate carvings and red sandstone beauty, is a true masterpiece of Indo-Islamic architecture. Standing beneath it, you can really feel the grandeur and history that it represents. The Qutub complex itself is vast, housing several other monuments like the Iron Pillar, Alai Darwaza, and Quwwat-ul-Islam Mosque, each with its own historical and architectural importance. The detailing on the stonework is stunning, and every corner tells a story of the Delhi Sultanate’s rich past. The grounds are well-maintained, with clear pathways and plenty of space to walk around.

Qutub Minar, New Delhi – A truly unforgettable visit! We were fortunate to witness this iconic monument on a very special day when the Qutub Minar was illuminated in blue, yellow, and red – the colors of the Republic of Moldova’s flag – to mark their 34th Independence Day (August 26, 2025). This symbolic gesture beautifully reflected the warm and growing friendship between Moldova and India, as highlighted by former Moldovan Ambassador Ana Taban. The lighting show was simply spectacular! Every evening at 7:30 PM, a mesmerizing show takes place, highlighting the diverse cultural and social achievements of Indian villages. We felt proud to see our very own Hiware Bazar & Ralegan Siddhi (Maharashtra) featured for their remarkable transformation from drought-affected villages to self-sufficient communities through rainwater harvesting. Additional highlights that made the visit special: 1. The stunning Indo-Islamic architecture of Qutub Minar, standing tall as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. 2. The Qutub complex itself, with ancient structures like the Iron Pillar and Alai Darwaza, offers deep historical insights. 3. The peaceful, well-maintained surroundings make it a perfect place for both history lovers and casual visitors. Overall, a perfect blend of history, culture, and pride—Qutub Minar is not just a monument, but an experience that connects India’s glorious past with its vibrant present.

I recently visited Qutub Minar, and it was truly an incredible experience! The moment you walk into the complex, you can feel the blend of history, architecture, and culture that makes this UNESCO World Heritage Site so special. The Qutub Minar itself is majestic — standing tall and beautifully detailed with intricate carvings and verses from the Quran. It’s amazing to imagine that it was built over 800 years ago, yet still stands strong and elegant today. The surrounding monuments — like the Iron Pillar, Alai Darwaza, and Quwwat-ul-Islam Mosque — add so much to the experience. Each structure tells a story about the early days of Delhi’s history. The complex is clean, well-maintained, and there are plenty of signboards with historical information, which makes it easy to explore at your own pace. It’s also a great place for photography — especially during sunset when the tower glows in golden hues. If you’re visiting Delhi, Qutub Minar is a must-see landmark that captures the spirit of India’s medieval past and architectural brilliance.

Visiting Qutub Minar was a truly memorable experience. The monument’s grand Indo-Islamic architecture and detailed stone carvings are breathtaking, and the entire complex is filled with historical structures that take you back in time. One of the highlights inside the complex is the Khilji’s Madrasa, an ancient Islamic learning center. The structure, though in ruins, still reflects the architectural style and educational significance of the Khilji period, making it a fascinating spot for history lovers. The surrounding area is beautifully maintained, and the lush green gardens offer an amazing view and a peaceful place to relax while exploring the site. Entry was very affordable—just ₹35 for Indian citizens when booked online through the official portal. The online booking process was quick and helped avoid queues at the gate. Overall, Qutub Minar offers a perfect blend of history, architecture, and serene garden views, with landmarks like the Khilji’s Madrasa adding even more depth to the experience.

I recently visited Qutub Minar in Delhi on my own, and it was one of those experiences that felt both refreshing and memorable. Going alone actually made it more special because I could take my time exploring without any hurry. The moment I entered the complex, the sight of the minar towering above everything else was absolutely stunning. It’s hard to imagine that this structure has been standing tall for over 800 years. As I walked closer, the detailed carvings on the red sandstone caught my attention. Every arch and design felt like a little piece of history frozen in time. I wandered around the lawns, sat under the shade of a tree, and just admired the monument from different angles. It gave me a sense of peace, almost like stepping out of the busy Delhi life for a while. The complex itself has more than just the minar. I checked out the old mosque ruins and the famous Iron Pillar, which still stands rust-free after centuries. The whole area has this mix of grandeur and calmness, which makes it a perfect spot for a solo outing. Of course, there were crowds—tourists, families, and school kids—but it only added to the lively atmosphere. Since I was on my own, I had the freedom to just walk, observe, and click photos without worrying about keeping up with anyone. Overall, visiting Qutub Minar alone was both peaceful and inspiring—a perfect blend of history and quiet time.

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.

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.

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.

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

Situated in Gurgaon, Delhi NC Region, it's a complete package for a weekend gateway, especially for kids. You can pester your taste buds with variety of cuisine from different states of India. There are handcrafted products and other exquisite products on sale for home decor. You can also also enjoy shows at different auditoriums. 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.

Entry exit of mall was really confusing. No escalator was working. PVR was good. However exit stairs were not clean. You won't have to waste anytime in looking for it. It's super easy to locate and reach inside. The seats are pretty good and the price is also reasonable for both 2d and 3d. They also provide offers for meals in the theatre that's a plus point if you're really hungry and don't want to spend too much in popcorn. The waiting area is very spacious and well decorated for those photo lovers, lots of posters of upcoming movies

First Mall of Delhi , ANSAL PLAZA MALL , is located near Pari Chowk, Amit Nagar, Sadarpur, Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh, India. When opened, Ansal Plaza was very popular among the shoppers and enjoyed the full success due to its Amphitheater, food court, and special offerings. Gradually it stopped attracting and inviting people when the new and bigger Malls started coming in the NCR with better amenities . It’s an example of very poor management and failure of management to adapt to changing customers preferences. Now the Mall is almost closed. Here ,in the case of Ansal Plaza Mall , The Darwin’s theory is 100% correct- Struggle for existence & Survival of fittest.
Umesh T — Google review
The existence of this mall raises questions, as it appears to be largely vacant. Shoppers are unlikely to find any useful goods or have substantial shopping options, and even when options are available, they are quite limited. The mall offers significant space, and management possesses the opportunity to implement changes relatively quickly, given its prime location.

This mall is just a big building with no actual humans in it. About 10-15 shops were there. The entrance is like a horror movie. The whole mall looks like it could turn into a horror movie anytime. Don’t recommend any girl to go there alone as it will scare you a lot.

The Grand Venice Mall, also known as TGV mall, is an Italian-themed shopping center that aims to recreate the magic of Venice. With its Venetian-style architecture, canals, and gondola rides, it offers a unique experience for visitors. The mall features replicas of famous Venetian structures like the Leaning Tower of Pisa and Roman sculptures. It's not just a shopping destination but also an architectural delight and entertainment spot.
Great Experience. Amazing infrastructure, based on Italy theme. Too many shops and also a large food court to eat. Also, there is a game centre. Also, there is boating facility, which will cost you rs.300 per person on weekdays and rs.400 on weekends. Overall, a new and good experience.
ARJUN — Google review
The ambiance is uniquely calming and relaxing, thanks to the Venice theme. However, the mall is not well-maintained, with many areas showing neglect, and a large number of closed and empty stores make the atmosphere feel disappointingly deserted. Great concept, poor execution.
Prashant P — Google review
The Grand Venice Mall is praised for its unique Venetian-style architecture, including gondola rides on internal canals, a replica of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and a vibrant atmosphere. Visitors appreciate the variety of shops, a large food court with diverse options, and entertainment such as movies and a live show. However, some downsides noted in reviews include the cost of the gondola ride, which is sometimes described as expensive for the duration, and the ongoing construction in some areas. Overall, it's considered a unique destination for a few hours of entertainment and shopping, though its appeal as a primary destination for serious shoppers is debated, especially for those in nearby Delhi. Positive aspects: Unique architecture: The mall is noted for its Venetian theme, including canals and gondola rides. Variety of options: Reviewers mention a good range of branded shops, a large food court, a movie hall, and other entertainment options. Atmosphere: Many find the ambiance to be aesthetically pleasing and a good place for family outings. Negative aspects: Cost: The gondola ride is frequently mentioned as being expensive for the short duration. Construction: Some parts of the mall are still under construction, which can be a drawback.

Visited this mall with great expectations but got really disappointed. The place looks very old and poorly maintained. Paint is coming off, cracks on the walls, and hardly any shops are open. Feels like no one is taking care of it anymore. From outside too it looks dull and worn out. Such a big mall but completely wasted potential.
Abhi A — Google review
The Grand Venice Mall in Greater Noida is a unique and visually stunning shopping destination that stands out for its Italian-inspired architecture. Modeled after the canals and landmarks of Venice, it offers a picturesque and immersive experience with gondola rides, ornate bridges, and grand facades that make it feel like a European escape in the heart of India. The mall houses a wide variety of retail outlets, including national and international brands, making it a convenient place for both shopping and entertainment. From fashion and electronics to cosmetics and lifestyle products, there's something for everyone. The food court is diverse, offering a range of cuisines—from Indian street food to global fast-food chains—catering to varied tastes. One of the highlights is the indoor entertainment zone, featuring attractions like Snow Mastiii (an indoor snow park), a gaming arcade, and a multiplex cinema, making it a great family-friendly destination. Cleanliness, security, and ample parking add to the convenience. However, some parts of the mall still feel underutilized or in development, which can slightly affect the overall experience. Despite that, The Grand Venice Mall remains a must-visit for its aesthetics and range of activities. Whether you're looking to shop, dine, or just enjoy the ambiance, it offers a memorable day out.

Heritage Transport Museum

Transportation museum with a collection of rare & vintage automobiles, buses, aircraft & trains.
If you're a travel or history enthusiast (or just love cool cars and quirky rides), the Heritage Transport Museum in Haryana is a must-visit! Just a short drive from Delhi, this place completely blew me away. Where else can you see a vintage Rolls Royce parked next to a desi fatfati under the same roof? Spread across four beautifully curated floors and over 100,000 sq ft, this museum is a brilliant deep dive into how India has moved — from wheels and wings to even a spaceship! The collection is stunning — think vintage cars, bikes, trains, buses, Fun, educational, nostalgic, and visually stunning — skip the mall next weekend and take a drive through time instead. Highly recommended!

Nice place for auto enthusiasts, knowledge seekers, and students. Free parking available, food court is also available but is a little costly. There is no need to buy advance tickets. You need at least 2 hours to visit. Space movie show is in english and full of knowledge but may be boring for some. The location is odd, far from the city, but road connectivity is nice. Staff is polite and helpful. Neet and clean environment.

If you are in NCR, you shouldn't miss this. One of the very well curated exhibit. For people over 40-50s, it's gonna take you down the memory lane. Kids super love it to see the grandiour of vintage cars and vehicles.... Especially buggies. Kids love the simulator too and movie shown is also brilliant. They can improve bit on the gift shop but rest is an amazing experience.

A must-visit and truly amazing place! There’s a cafeteria available as well. It’s a bit far, but definitely worth visiting. I’d recommend going by your own vehicle, as getting a cab might be a little difficult—though when I checked, Ola, Uber, and Rapido were showing available options. I didn’t book any since I went in my own vehicle.

Excellent museum which is very well maintened. Easily among the best I've experienced in India. Takes through the journey of transportation, not just cars or buses. Guided tours, self guided walk arounds, they have it all! The food at the cafeteria is a bit blah, but I think they're solving for affordability. Do go here when you're in Delhi NCR.

Bhavya Churans& Masala in Tijara, Alwar is one of the top Grocery Stores in Tijara, Alwar. Tijara Jain Temple is a Jain temple dedicated to Chandraprabha. The temple is located in the hill town Tijara, in the Alwar district of Rajasthan, India. It is an Atishaya Kshetra. It is 55 kilometres from Alwar and 110 kilometres from Delhi. The location is a tirtha for the Jains and a tourist attraction. The temple was established in 1956 following the recovery of an idol of Chandraprabha on 16 August 1956. The white stone idol was retrieved from underground, reinforcing the belief that this place was once a Dehra, a place where Jain idols are worshipped. After the setting up of the Jain temple, the place has regained its former importance as a pilgrimage centre.[3]

Shri Radha Rani Temple, Barsana

Hindu temple
Sights & Landmarks
Sacred & Religious Sites
Nestled atop the scenic Bhanugarh hills, Shri Radha Rani Temple in Barsana is a stunning 17th-century shrine dedicated to Goddess Radha. This historical temple stands at an elevation of about 250 meters and can be reached by car, foot, or motorbike. While there’s ample parking available for a fee at the top, visitors should be prepared for some traffic congestion along the way.
Sri Radha Rani Ladli Temple in Barsana is a wonderful experience! Visiting during Navratri, we found the crowd manageable. The 30-minute walk to the temple involves climbing stairs, but the scenic view of Barsana village from the top is breathtaking. The temple itself is a divine spot for darshan of Radha Rani Ji. A highlight of the visit was trying the delicious Makhan Lassi (₹50) on the way, which was a refreshing treat. Radha Rani Ji's blessings are palpable, and the experience is truly uplifting. Don't miss this temple and the opportunity to say 'Bolo Radhe Radhe!' The temple's serene atmosphere and stunning views make it a must-visit destination for devotees and travelers alike. With its manageable crowds and divine ambiance, Sri Radha Rani Ladli Temple is an unforgettable experience. बोलो राधे राधे 🙏🌸

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

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

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

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

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

Shri Radha Rani Temple, also known as Ladli Ji Mandir, is one of the most divine and spiritually charged places in Braj. The temple stands beautifully on Brahmachal Hill, and just below the main steps lies Shri Radha Janmsthan, believed to be the exact birthplace of Radha Rani. Visiting both places together gives an unforgettable divine experience — you can truly feel Radha Rani’s presence here. 🌸✨ The narrow galiyaan of Barsana are full of devotion, colors, and chants of “Radhe Radhe”. As you walk up to the temple, the peaceful atmosphere and the view from the top fill you with calmness and joy. The vibe here is pure Braj bhakti — full of love and devotion towards Radha–Krishna. 💫 Nearby, you can also visit Maan Mandir, Kirti Mandir (Radha Rani’s mother’s temple), and Rangili Mahal, each place holding a unique story of divine love. Barsana is not just a town — it’s a living memory of Radha–Krishna’s leela, where every corner feels alive with their presence. If you want to experience true peace and divine connection, Radha Rani Temple and Janmsthan in Barsana are must-visit places. 🙏💖
Shivam K — Google review
Visiting the Radharani Temple in Barsana was a truly wonderful experience. I would highly recommend having your own means of transportation if you are travelling with family. There is ample parking available, though on special occasions you can expect long queues. The walk to the temple is comfortable and not too tiring, but do watch your step on the stairs. It took us about 10 to 15 minutes to get inside and have the darshan, which was quite reasonable for the month of October, just before Diwali. I have heard that at other times the temple can be very crowded, so it is best to plan your visit accordingly. Once you are at the temple, there is also a fort nearby that you can easily walk to. Overall, it was a divine and peaceful experience.

Char Dham Vrindavan is a newly-developed spiritual complex that stands out as one of the most impressive and beautifully designed attractions in Vrindavan, blending traditional devotion with modern architecture and facilities for visitors and devotees alike. Overview and Architecture Char Dham Vrindavan was inaugurated in February 2025 and is located near Chhatikara Chauraha, easily accessible from NH-2 and Vrindavan Road. Its sprawling 28-acre campus features four main temples representing Shiv Dham, Radha Krishna Dham, Shani Dham, and Vaishno Devi Dham. The centerpiece is a breathtaking 165-foot tall statue of Lord Shiva, surrounded by artistic installations and conical temples that echo unique designs of India’s sacred pilgrimage sites. The gardens, waterfalls, and murals provide a serene and immersive experience, making this complex strikingly photogenic and spiritually engaging. Spiritual Experience The spiritual ambiance is magnified by lifelike idols – from Lord Shiva with his family to stunning Radha Krishna representations, as well as sections dedicated to Shani Dev and Vaishno Devi. Devotees can witness episodes from Lord Krishna’s life through statues and paintings, adding educational depth to the spiritual journey. The temple aims to offer devotees, especially those unable to travel long distances, a symbolic experience of the larger Char Dham Yatra within a single site. Facilities and Timings The temple is open daily from 6:00 AM to 1:00 PM and 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM, accommodating large crowds and ensuring ample time for darshan in both morning and evening slots. It is conveniently accessible by local transportation including e-rickshaws and taxis. The site features modern amenities such as air-conditioning, clean washrooms, power backup, security, and friendly staff, making it suitable for families and large groups. Visitor Reviews and Tips Reviews applaud Char Dham for its cleanliness, landscaping, spiritual vibes, and captivating visuals. However, visitors advise caution during daytime due to the hot flooring, which can be uncomfortable for walking outdoors. The overall visitor experience is rated as very good and memorable, with many guests describing it as a must-visit for those interested in religious tourism and temple architecture. Unique Aspects • Massive Lord Shiva statue and innovative architecture[chalbanjare +1] • Waterfalls, murals, and symbolic installations • Four shrines uniting different traditions under one roof • Role as a spiritual and educational center Char Dham Vrindavan is a stellar new addition to Mathura’s temple landscape and is highly recommended for those seeking spirituality, art, and culture in a picturesque setting.

Each section has its own charm — the peaceful aura of Lord Shiva (Mahadev), the protective and justice-giving power of Shani Dev, the divine grace of Maa Vaishno Devi, and the pure love energy of Radha–Krishna. The moment you enter, you’re surrounded by calmness, devotion, and positivity.

The Chaar Dhaam, Vrindavan showcases the actual char dhams in a single compound namely the Mata Vaishno Devi Dhaam, the Baba Baidyanath Dham, the Rameshwaram Dham and the Jagannath Dham. No tickets are required to enter the premises. The compound as well as the temples and idols are vast and there's no congestion around here. The idols of Mata Vaishno Devi and Lord Shiva are 165 feet tall.

MUST VISIT !!!!! The Char- Dham temple is so beautiful and the architecture is outstanding. If you're in Vrindavan, visit it. The first darshan includes - Mata Rani temple and after that - visit the Gufa, Shiv Ji Temple, Krishna Temple & Shani Dev Temple. The temple is huge so follow the signboards. You can get the prashadam from the gate 1 @100rs but the assistant at the temple will ask you to offer your prashad yourself ( and that's okay) The temple has the canteen as well.

Absolutely fabulous place to visit. It's a mirror to our history. Must visit if you want to see post Mughal transition of Architecture. There are adequate Bus services available from Rajasthan government Alwar depot from Govardhan chowk Mathura. It's a one day tour, on a good day 2 to 3 hours, for an enthusiast 5 to 6 hours. No restaurant in the vicinity.

Deeg Palace is a beautiful 18th-century palace located in the Bharatpur district of Rajasthan. Built by Maharaja Suraj Mal, the ruler of Bharatpur, it served as a summer retreat for the Jat kings. The palace is famous for its Mughal and Rajput architectural blend, with grand halls, arcaded pavilions, ornate balconies, and stunning water fountains. Surrounded by lush gardens, the palace gives a glimpse of royal leisure and lifestyle. The highlight of Deeg Palace is its impressive water fountains and artificial rain system, which were designed to provide cooling during the scorching summers. The palace complex has several mansions (bhawans) like Suraj Bhawan, Keshav Bhawan, and Nand Bhawan, each with unique charm. Twice a year, during fairs and festivals, the fountains are still operated, creating a magical atmosphere that transports visitors back to the royal era.
