Triund Trek offers breathtaking mountain and valley views. The trail is about 9 km one way—steep in parts but doable for beginners. Best to start early and carry water. Camping at the top is peaceful.. Gets crowded on weekends, but the sunrise makes it all worth it!

"Triund, tu hai kya view! 🌌 Reached the top in the evening, camped under the stars, and witnessed an UNBELIEVABLE night sky 🔭✨. Next morning, caught the sunrise and OMG, it was pure magic! 🌅❤️ Best decision ever to trek to Triund! 😍"
Lamha A — Google review
Best trek for beginners, one thing that every tourist has to know there is a base camp after 5 hours of trek after that the peak of triund it takes max 1 hours to reach, many travel agencies don't take you there so first ask after that book any travel agency otherwise trek solo and at the peak of triund trek you got tent and food. In 700-1000 per person(tent + food).
Adi G — Google review
One of the Best trek I've done. It's a beginner friendly and enjoyable trek, One can complete the trek easily as the paths are marked from the start till the end, But it's highly recommended to book a trek guide if you're a beginner as it requires stamina and support for a walk of around 3-4 hours with enjoying views. One of the best company that offer this trek at the lowest price is Madtrek Adventures my experience with them was great 😃. And If you can't handle cold weather then pack your winter wears to keep you warm in December till March as these months experiences snowfall at Triund Top. One more Important Thing: Enjoy the trek with the beautiful views but keep in mind that don't litter trash in such a beautiful place also don't let other litter too.
Himanshu S — Google review
Weather prediction mentioned some rain, when we started. We couldn't see anything but fog while going uphill. Even on the hill top, couldn't see any of the ranges. A few gusts of wind gave us a sneak peek of one of the peaks and we decided to stay around in case the weather would clear up again. Rain began in afternoon. It rained and hailed. Temperature above definitely reached single digits. Shopkeeper on the top of the hill said it will clear up in 10-20 mins. Hours later, it didn't. There were around 10-15 people huddled in the only shop above the hill. Along with a few dogs as well. We waited for rain to stop but it didn't. So when there was a pause at around 4pm, we could finally see the Dhauladhar range. Snapped a few pictures and we booked it downhill. Passes along other drenched hikers coming up. The rain came back. It was really not a great experience being already tired and cold, walking down rocks and mud with drenched boots, and umbrella in one hand. We reached the bottom just after sunset, as it was getting really dark. Thankfully there were cabs to take us back to town. Paraphrasing a local shopkeeper I talked to at the bottom: This kind of rain happens once every 15-20 years. Will I do this again? Sure. Not anytime soon tho. And certainly will take the weather more seriously this time.

Waterfalls
Bhagsu Nag Waterfall is a popular tourist spot in Dharamshala, Himachal Pradesh. The 20-meter-high cascade flows into a natural pool and offers breathtaking views. Visitors can take a short but challenging hike to the upper section of the falls for panoramic vistas. Surrounded by lush greenery and mesmerizing scenery, this waterfall is located in Bhagsu village behind the Bhagsunag temple.
Massive waterfall. Main attraction of McLeodganj, must visit. The main part near the waterfall requires a basic climb or about 1km with proper pathway and stairs. The other way is from the upper side along the waterfall which is entirely based on a hike. Be careful in the evening as the path mein become risky to come down.
A K — Google review
The waterfall was nice but for me the best part was the walk there. I walked a different way to most people, I came from upper Bhagsu and it took me through this beautiful trail on the edge of the mountain. Took me only 15 mins to get there. Also went to Shiva cafe which is 5 minutes higher than the waterfall, nice views up there and good food.
Anya C — Google review
Bhagsu Nag Waterfall is a great place 100% a must-visit. It’s a short and easy trek. Try having Maggi during the trek; the views and the sound of the waterfall give you pure peace and a lovely vibe. Just feel it.

Nice up hill trekk for nearly 45 mins for me (out of breath due to physical reason). Once reached the place it was a lovely experience. See the water fall, clean water, small cafes. Enjoy tge place for 30 mins or more. Then start retracting.

Bhagsunag Waterfalls is a beautiful and refreshing spot located about a 15–20 minute walk from Bhagsunag Temple. The trek to the waterfall is simple and scenic, suitable for beginners and families. The surroundings are lush and calming, making it a great place to relax, take pictures, and enjoy the sound of flowing water. With the nearby cafés and viewpoints, you can easily spend 4–5 hours enjoying the area. A perfect short trek and a must-visit attraction in McLeodganj for nature lovers.

Very crowded place. A lot of public taking bath in the waterfall. Its not a peaceful place to visit. Although the sight is good from far away. A lot of shops to shop from. Local bags, key chains, clothes, shawls, jewellery.

While the waterfall itself isn’t particularly scenic, the pathway leading to it is beautiful. However, the trek may not be suitable for elderly visitors.

Shree Hanuman Temple, Jakhu, Shimla

Mentioned on 
+71 other lists 
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

The temple is clean, well-maintained, and surrounded by beautiful pine trees. You can reach easily by ropeway or by a short trek. A must-visit spot when you’re in Shimla!

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.
Rahul C — Google review
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.”

Kempty Falls Tour Review Visiting Kempty Falls in Mussoorie was an exhilarating experience. Nestled amidst the lush green hills of Uttarakhand, the waterfall is a perfect blend of natural beauty and adventure. The cascading water from a height of about 40 feet creates a cool, refreshing pool at the base, ideal for taking a dip.

On reaching, there are small shops selling local snacks and souvenirs, which adds a charming local vibe. For adventure seekers, swimming in the natural pools or enjoying photography with the misty backdrop is a delight.

A beautiful place to visit, weather it is with your beau, with friends or with your family. The serenity of the place is astonishing. The steps to Kempty falls is not so steep and is easily a short trek. The Kempty falls also provides a Ropeway cable for a price of Rs. 250/- per person (but all in cash) 😐. The snacks and food prices are a little steep but worth the climb. The Kempty falls also features boating area and a Drone camera facilities, on top of this, bathing facility is also there, where one can rent bathing suit for a price and enjoy.

Watching the sunrise in Mussoorie is truly one of the most magical experiences you can have in the hills. As the first light breaks over the mountains, the entire valley glows in shades of orange, pink, and gold — it’s absolutely breathtaking. The cool morning breeze, the chirping of birds, and the peaceful silence make it feel like time stands still for a moment.
Somesh P — Google review
Kempty falls is one of the best places to visit in Mussoorie. The water falls from quite a height and is rather a magnificent sight. The waterfall can be accessed by climbing down some 150 steps or by a ropeway. It is a series of falls and can be viewed from different levels. The approach to the fall has large uneven steps and is not well arranged or maintained. But there are a few places where you can bathe in the collected water. There are some food stalls around and you can sit and eat with your feet dangling in the cool water. 30-45 minutes should be enough to visit the place. Highly recommended.

Must visit place when you are travelling to Rushikesh. The aarti at Triveni ghat is a devotional experience. Reach early to get a good spot for attending the aarti. In winter months aarti starts around 6pm. After the aarti there is Bhajan where one can enjoy the spiritual connection.

I have vitnessed almost all famous aartis of GANGAJI at Haridwar and Rishikesh during the trip but Aarti at Triveni Ghat is One of the best Gangaji Aarti I have. View of Sunset is just refreshing. And only Aarti where everyone is allowed to do Aarti at Free of cost by the management. Management themselves provide Aarti thalis to many people and they shares thalis with each other so each and everyone can enjoy and participate at Aarti. And story doesn't ends here, Bhajan starts after Aarti and surely you will get goosebumps if you have vitnessed the joy. In short don't miss it if you are visiting Haridwar and Rishikesh.

Truly one of the best spiritual experiences of my life. Felt divine and calm attending the Ganga Aarti here. Too much crowded and if you need good places to sit, consider reaching there early. After Ganga Aarti you can sit at the ghats enjoying the peace and serenity.

Triveni Ghat in Rishikesh is a beautiful and peaceful place to experience the true spirit of the Ganga. The atmosphere here is calm in the mornings and truly divine during the evening Ganga Aarti. Watching the lamps floating on the river with the sound of chants feels magical. The area is well-maintained, and you can sit by the river to relax or take a holy dip. It’s one of those places where you feel peace and positivity all around. A must-visit spot for anyone traveling to Rishikesh.

Triveni Ghat is a truly spiritual and beautiful destination in Rishikesh. The evening Ganga Aarti is mesmerizing, with soulful chants and vibrant rituals that create an uplifting atmosphere. Sitting by the banks of the Ganges surrounded by mountains, you feel tremendous peace and positive energy. It can get crowded during the Aarti, so arrive early to get a good spot. The whole experience — from the holy dip in the river to the aarti and the nearby temples — makes Triveni Ghat a must-visit for anyone seeking serenity and divine vibes in Rishikesh.

Its a amazing experience to see ganga aarti there. Ghat is also good and clean. Maybe ut could be little bit crowded depending on any special occasion. But still it look peaceful.
Prashant K — Google review
Well managed. Entry is started at 5 pm for the Arti at 6 pm. Orderly queue is started at 5. People pay to offer 'special' puja, and they're allowed to/ are conducted fpr puja before the Aarti begins. It's well choreographed. Quite a spectacle.
Ajay S — Google review
A very beautiful place to be if you are spiritual. Usually a must visit when the Ganga Aarti happens. Usually during winters the Aarti happens at 5.30pm however it's important that you reach there 20 minutes earlier to get the front seats.

Sanjeevni Hanuman Temple, Kasauli

Mentioned on 
1 list 
Hindu temple
Sights & Landmarks
Manki Point, also known as Sanjeevni Hanuman Temple, is a small Hindu temple located on a hilltop in Kasauli. The temple is dedicated to Lord Hanuman and is home to many monkeys. Visitors can enjoy sweeping views of the surrounding area from the top of the hill. The temple was recently reopened after being closed due to Covid-19 restrictions. Visitors are not allowed to bring cameras or phones and must deposit all bags at the check point before proceeding on foot.
A visit to Hanuman Ji temple is truly rewarding! Be prepared for a hard trek and a long walk with many stairs — it’s definitely challenging. But once you reach the top, the peaceful atmosphere and beautiful views make it all worth it.”

Everything A grade, only to reach there especially for elderly is bit difficult.As vehicles are not allowed and got to walk steep road for 4 to 5 km is difficult . Govt should start e rickshaws for public.
Rakesh K — Google review
This is the highest point of Kasauli. Took a cab all the way up to the air force sub station. From there it was a 30 min climb (would have been much faster if I was alone). It is just a lot of stairs but they are nicely paved and well maintained. Senior citizens and even 70+ year olds also come up if they take a lot of rest in between (there are places to sit and rest). The temple at the top has a peaceful vibe. There are monkeys here and you'll be instructed to not carry food in your hand. If you have the "prasadam" from the temple, carry them in your pockets. This is also known as the Monkey point or Manki point. Our cab driver told us "Manki" is not a spelling error but refers to the hindi word "mann ki" (something related to heart/soul) but not sure about it's authenticity. The main downside of visiting this place is that it is close to the air force station and all electronic devices are prohibited - meaning no photography at all. Most of the pics you see here on this pin are actually from different places in Kasauli (added erroneously ...smh). Some pictures of the temple can be taken from a km away from the Gilbert Trail if you zoom in. There is a paid locker where you submit your bags and devices and go for the hike.
Maharshi R — Google review
Temple is located at 6500 feets. 300 steps to climb. Only taxis are allowed from Mall Road Car Parking or you trek for an hour. Mountain views are awesome. It is believed that during Lord Hanumans flight from himalayas bringing Sanjeevani booti his left foot was rested on this hill and hence the importance of this place. Mobiles, photography etc strictly prohibited 🚫 in this area.
CA. G — Google review
Its a beautiful temple located on mountain top of kasauli. The visiting time is till 4pm all around the year and 1-2 is lunch time. There is no Entry fee. Taxi service is available from mall road to manki point for 200-250 rupees per person but I would highly recommend to cover the beautiful trail on foot as you get to enjoy the beautiful path. Its is hardly 3-4 kms and an easy trail. If you are lucky enough you get to see the valley covered with beautiful flowers specially during monsoon (mid July- September end). Or you can choose the small path going via sunset point which connects to manki point in between and is about 1-1.5kms and slightly steep. Phones, smart watches and bags are not allowed inside the temple area as it is a Cantt area and you can submit your belongings by paying some charges. Carry cash as you will be needing it for buying food/water inside the temple premises. After entering the cantt area, temple is half kilometer on top with 282 stairs. You can enjoy the view from top. Beware of monkeys if carrying food items.
Pratiksha N — Google review
the Sanjeevani Hanuman Temple is a must visit place in kasauli. Located atop a mountain, the temple is accessible only by foot. Be aware that it's situated within an Air Force station, meaning no mobile phones or electronic devices are allowed inside. A paid locker facility is available to store your belongings before you proceed. Security checks are mandatory before entering the temple area. Please note that many Google Maps photos for this location are inaccurate due to the no-phone policy; they often depict other Kasauli locations. Despite these restrictions, the temple itself has a wonderful, peaceful atmosphere and is definitely worth the trek. One important tip: monkeys are abundant, so don't carry food items or other stuff in your hànd and it's advisable to visit in a group.

Anoop S — Google review
Amazing experience, slightly tiring as you have to climb your way and it’s steep. You get a beautiful view of Kasauli from the top, as it’s the highest point there and certainly hold high religious value and gives peace. A must visit place, if you are in Kasauli. No entry fee, no electronic gadget or cameras allowed but they have a paid counter to deposit your belongings safely.

Sumit G — Google review
I visited Sukhna Lake in Chandigarh early morning recently, and it was a refreshing experience! This man-made lake, built in 1958 by Le Corbusier’s team, is a serene spot with calm waters reflecting the Shivalik hills. The early morning vibe was magical—cool air, chirping birds, and a stunning sunrise painting the sky. The walking path was perfect for a peaceful stroll, and I loved watching locals jogging and practicing yoga. The nearby café served tasty snacks, adding to the charm. However, some areas had litter, which slightly detracted from the beauty. Also, more benches would’ve been nice for resting. Despite these, Sukhna Lake’s tranquility and scenic views make it a lovely spot to start the day in Chandigarh.

A Serene Escape and the Jewel of Chandigarh! During my visit to Chandigarh for the ISRT meeting this September, a trip to Sukhna Lake was the perfect way to unwind. The moment I arrived, I was struck by the incredible sense of peace and tranquility. The lake itself is beautiful, with placid waters shimmering against the stunning backdrop of the distant Shivalik Hills. A leisurely stroll along the clean, wide promenade was so refreshing and offered a wonderful escape from the city's hustle. The atmosphere was calm and rejuvenating, and I could see why it's such a beloved spot for locals and tourists alike. Sukhna Lake is truly the jewel of Chandigarh. It was a highlight of my trip and is an absolute must-visit for anyone seeking a moment of peace and natural beauty

I have been visiting this place and it remains an incredible destination to relax and reconnect with nature. Sukhna Lake, a serene reservoir at the foothills of the Shivalik Hills in the Himalayas, is an integral part of Chandigarh’s planned cityscape. Even today, it stands as one of India’s most famous artificial lakes and planned city, offering a tranquil experience with still waters. Nestled at the forefront of Sector 1, the lake is surrounded by lush forests and sits adjacent to the governor’s residences of both states. The morning sunshine here is truly mesmerizing, creating a magical aura for early risers. Joggers, walkers, and yoga enthusiasts find their perfect spot along the lake’s edge to embrace the refreshing start of the day.

The temple's gleaming gold dome and intricate marble work create a breathtaking sight, especially when illuminated at night. The sacred Amrit Sarovar pool surrounds the temple, symbolizing spiritual growth. As the holiest gurmukhā gurudwārā, it houses the Guru Granth Sahib, Sikhism's holy scripture. The temple's four entrances signify equality and openness, welcoming people from all walks of life.

Beautiful, humbling place. There was so much to experience from the Golden temple to the jora service to the langar service to the gold sewa workshop. The museums on-site are also there to serve as a reminder of the resilience that Sikhs have had to have to survive and become a large community. There are many gurudwaras and soravars (lakes) on-site to take amrat as well. To be able to sit under the trees that some of the Gurus had done so was also wonderful. A beautiful place to visit.

Visiting Sri Harmandir Sahib, also known as the Golden Temple, was a truly divine and peaceful experience. The moment you step inside, the positive energy of the place surrounds you completely. The sight of the golden structure reflecting on the holy water is absolutely breathtaking, it feels serene and spiritual in every sense. The seva done by volunteers, from helping visitors to preparing and serving food in the langar, is truly inspiring. The langar experience itself is something everyone should have at least once, pure, and full of devotion. The entire temple complex is extremely well-maintained, clean, and beautifully organized despite the huge crowds. The pathway around the sarovar is peaceful for sitting or walking, especially in the early morning or late evening when the lighting makes it look magical. Overall, Sri Harmandir Sahib is not just a religious place but a symbol of peace, equality, and faith. No matter what your background is, you’ll feel a deep sense of spirituality here. A must-visit place that truly touches the heart.

Harmandir Sahib in Amritsar, originally built by Guru Ram Das Ji, is a full-on serenity powerhouse. The entire space operates like a high-efficiency ecosystem — calm energy, timeless architecture, and a 24/7 langar that serves thousands with seamless execution. Many devotees believe that with the Guru’s blessings, even the toughest illnesses can find relief and healing here. Stepping inside feels like your mind gets a hard reset — clarity, balance, and a sense of collective harmony all in one place.

Good experience ❤️‍🩹 15 sites Sri Harmandir Sahib, widely known as the Golden Temple, is the holiest Gurdwara and the most significant pilgrimage site in Sikhism. Located in the heart of Amritsar, Punjab, it is a symbol of human brotherhood and equality, welcoming people of all castes, creeds, and races. Key Details Name Origin: "Harmandir" means "Temple of God" (Hari = God, Mandir = Temple), while "Sahib" denotes respect. It is called the Golden Temple because its upper stories and dome are adorned with approximately 400-500 kilograms of pure gold leaf. Location and Architecture: The temple complex is built on a 67-foot-square platform in the center of the Amrit Sarovar (Pool of Nectar), a large sacred water tank. The main temple structure is connected to the shore by a causeway. A unique architectural feature is its four entrances, symbolizing that the path to God is open to everyone from all directions.

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.

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!!!

“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. It’s a great spot for photography, learning history, or simply enjoying the peaceful atmosphere. Early mornings or evenings are the best times to visit to avoid heavy crowds. Qutub Minar is not just a monument—it’s a symbol of India’s heritage and cultural richness. A UNESCO World Heritage Site that definitely deserves its place on every traveler’s list. 🇮🇳✨

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.

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.

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.

Sights & Landmarks
Sacred & Religious Sites
Nestled in the heart of Vrindavan, Prem Mandir stands as a breathtaking testament to devotion and artistry. Known as the 'Temple of Love,' this magnificent Hindu temple is dedicated to Lord Krishna and Radha Rani, embodying their eternal bond. Constructed over 11 years by a skilled team of artisans from Gujarat, it showcases intricate carvings on its pillars and domes that reflect the rich cultural heritage of India.
Prem Mandir, Vrindavan – A Divine Experience Prem Mandir is truly a breathtaking temple and one of the most beautiful places to visit in Vrindavan. The white marble architecture is stunning, with intricate carvings that bring alive scenes from the life of Lord Krishna and Radha. In the evening, when the temple lights up with colorful illuminations and musical fountain shows, the atmosphere feels absolutely magical. The temple complex is very clean and well-maintained. Security arrangements are good, and the environment is peaceful despite the large crowds. It is not just a temple but also a spiritual and cultural experience. A must-visit for anyone coming to Vrindavan – both for devotees and for those who want to witness an architectural wonder.
Shrabani T — Google review
Prem Mandir, or the "Temple of Divine Love," is a stunning white marble temple in Vrindavan dedicated to Radha-Krishna and Sita-Ram. Built by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj and inaugurated in 2012, it is a modern-day architectural marvel that embodies the essence of pure devotion. The temple’s culture is deeply rooted in the Vaishnavism tradition of Vrindavan, the sacred land of Lord Krishna’s childhood pastimes. The name "Prem Mandir" emphasizes the supremacy of prem (divine love), which the Vedas proclaim even controls Lord Krishna. The temple was established to spread this message of unconditional love for God. Atmosphere: The temple's grand architecture and spiritual ambiance captivate all who visit. Surrounding the main structure are beautiful gardens with life-sized depictions of Krishna’s pastimes, like the Govardhan and Raas leelas ▪︎Tip for visitors: The temple is most beautiful in the evening when it is lit up. However, it also attracts the largest crowds during this time, so visitors seeking a peaceful experience may prefer a daytime visit.

Visited Prem Mandir with my wife, and it was a truly divine experience! The temple’s beauty, peaceful atmosphere, and devotional energy made our visit unforgettable. The evening light and fountain show were simply mesmerizing.The temple is stunning—its intricate marble carvings and beautiful lighting in the evening make it truly mesmerizing. After the visit, we enjoyed some delicious local food nearby. Parking in Vrindavan can be a bit challenging, so I would suggest taking an auto rickshaw to visit the temple. It is convenient and saves time. A must-visit place in Vrindavan for anyone looking for serenity and divine beauty.

Beautiful mandir! Very beautiful! We were told by the locals that it's very beautiful at night with its lighting but as we weren't able to make time, so we visited in the morning, and we were still mesmerised. The temple is spread on a huge campus, the main temple building is majestic, and the sculptures of Krishnaleela are mesmerizing, each more beautiful than the one before... The temple is as beautiful inside as it is on the outside, with intricate details and some LED decorations. So my main point is, please don't miss this, even if you can't make it here during the evening.

Prem Mandir is an absolutely stunning place to visit in Vrindavan. The entire temple is newly constructed with beautifully carved white marble, and the architecture is truly mesmerizing. The campus is huge, very well maintained, and surprisingly clean. Even on weekends, there wasn’t much rush, which made the experience peaceful and enjoyable. If you're visiting Mathura–Vrindavan, this is a must-visit spot. I highly recommend going early in the morning — the soft light makes the temple glow, and it’s the perfect time for amazing photoshoots without crowds. A serene, divine, and memorable experience!

its stunning white-marble architecture, intricate carvings, and spacious, beautifully maintained gardens. The evening lighting and musical fountain show are major highlights, creating a peaceful and devotional atmosphere. It is a must-visit spiritual destination.

Overall it’s beautiful and a must visit.

Prem mandir, a relatively new temple of Vrindavan, was really nice and beautiful place. The premises is huge and can accommodate thousands of people at a time. Evening and night is the best time to visit this place for its beautiful lighting and beautiful statues and other idols outside. The inside decoration is also beautiful. Though it is much less important spiritually than other temples of Vrindavan, but still it attracts lakhs of tourists and pilgrims everyday for its beautiful architecture and decoration.

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

Keoladeo National Park, also known as Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary, is one of India’s most celebrated avian destinations and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Spread over 29 sq km, this artificial wetland has a rich history dating back to the 18th century when it was created by Maharaja Suraj Mal by building the Ajan Bund to store monsoon rainwater. Initially a duck-hunting reserve for the Maharajas and British officers, it was declared a bird sanctuary in 1956 and gained national park status in 1982. Located conveniently on the Golden Triangle (Delhi–Agra–Jaipur route), the park features a well-maintained network of trails and cycling routes. The map clearly shows key zones—wetlands, grasslands, and woodlands—each teeming with over 370 species of birds, including painted storks, egrets, and the rare Siberian crane (seen in the past). Cycling or hiring a rickshaw with a trained guide is highly recommended for exploring the area. Ticket Information (as of latest update): Indian Adults: ₹75 Foreign Nationals: ₹500 Rickshaw Ride: ₹150–₹200/hour Guide Charges: ₹250–₹300/hour Cycle Rentals: ₹50/day Best Time to Visit: November to February (ideal for migratory birds). Whether you're a birder, a photographer, or a nature lover, Keoladeo offers an unforgettable and educational wildlife experience.

⭐️⭐️ (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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Amber Palace

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.

Sights & 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.

Historical place

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.

The museum sections are informative, and the displays are curated with care. The entire complex is clean, organized, and easy to explore. Though the tickets are slightly on the higher side, the experience and the elegance of the palace make it worth it. A must-visit for anyone wanting to immerse themselves in Jaipur’s royal past!

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!

This remarkable observatory, constructed in 1726 from masonry, marble, and brass, features an array of fixed instruments known as yantras.

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.

National park
Nature & Parks
Ranthambore National Park is a premier destination for wildlife enthusiasts, particularly those eager to catch a glimpse of majestic tigers in their natural habitat. This stunning park boasts over 80 resident tigers, alongside an array of other fascinating wildlife such as jackals, mongoose, crocodiles, bears, deer, and hyenas. The lush greenery and serene atmosphere create the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable adventure.
Beautiful national park with a rich variety of wildlife. Tiger and hyena sightings are quite common, and you’ll also come across different species of deer 🦌. The best time to visit is from October to March, though visibility can be low in December and January due to fog. For a better safari experience, opt for a gypsy instead of a canter, as canters tend to be more crowded.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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