This mall is in close proximity to MG Road metro station in Gurugram. Great shopping experience. Good place for shopping, almost all brands available here. In front of mall, there is space for bike parking that is best thing. The staff monitors the temperature of all the visitors and ask them to use sanitiser and follow all the Covid guidelines.One can find plentiful varieties of clothes and other items such as phone, shoes, watches etc. Sometimes, the outlets offer good discounts so shopping becomes beneficial if done from here.

#shopping #clothes #mall 👗👚👕👞👟👠 Nice mall for finding most of the good brands under one roof. Pretty much like Shoppers Stop or Lifestyle. 4 floors grand with 2 floors for women and 2 for men and kids. The collection is decent, usually new and from time to time they offer deals on brands. 😎 Pro Tip - they offer luggage of American tourister or VIP at discounted price if you say buy above 5k or so. Don't fall for that. The quality of those products is not very good.
Ankur N — Google review
Good collection almost all brand of clothes is available for ladies, gents and children. Good place, good staff. But one thing is important lots of brands on one floo, so very less variety of one brand . Like manyawar stall is also there but very few kurta's design is there. Still one can see once cauz may be only choosen pieces are there. Some people like very much this place. So one can go to central also to see the collection.

Nice mall for clothes shopping. Many big brands are present there. Ypu cam buy formals in 2nd floor and casuals in 3rd floor. There is FreeAuthority clothes section there as well. Which offers clothes from marvel, game of thrones, populat music bands and designs are pretty cool too. Offer are always up and running in this mall and they keep their customers updated by sending text messages about latest and upcoming offers. Its near metro so going is also not a problem. They offer a central payback cards as well on which points get added on shopping.

Central mall has a lot of brands in it. Usually on both regular and weekend there i a lot of rush. I billing counter has a huge line. The cafeteria is overpriced food is bad. There are many malls across the road u can also consider going there after going to central. 3 starts because there is huge line , food is bad, u have a lot of options to buy but the quality is normal.

This mall is situated on Mehrauli Gurgaon road, which is popularly known as MG road. It is just 300 metres from MG road metro station and lies on your right side when driving from Delhi towards Gurgaon. This mall have almost all the regular brands of clothing and accessories. Specially their Cologne section is quite impressive, offering you almost all the international fragrances. A quick hint would be to visit in the weekdays, since it is mostly crowded on the weekends. Hope it helps :)

Sultanpur National Park

Mentioned on

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

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

Nice park - keep in mind only cash or JIO payment. No cards. Full walk is about 4km it’s nice walk. Go in comfortable shoes. Leaving the park - UBER it’s difficult and there is small connection in the phone. It possible ask the cab wait you there.

Sultanpur National Park (Ramsar site ) is located at Sultanpur village on Gurugram-Jhajjar highway, 15 km from Gurugram and 50 km from Delhi. This covers approximately 142.52 hectares. The National Park is named after King Sultansingh Chauhan a descendant of King Prithviraj Chauhan. The approach road is good and National Park has decent parking space. The entrance is charged @Rs 50. Around 250 migratory birds find shelter in winter season. The best times are always mornings and evenings. The walk around the park is around 7500 steps. There are watch towers to facilitate bird watching. You can even buy artefacts at counter while returning. Don't forget to rent up a binoculars. Electric vehicles are available for those who wish for ride around the park.

What i really like about this senctury is located nearer to gurugram. A really good place to visit in winter specially. Parking facility available ticket price is also reasonable. Place like this should be supported i can say. Food option is not available so keep this in mind while visiting.
Shikha I — Google review
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
Shyamal K — Google review
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.

The place is fabulous for kids and families. The amusement park is icing on the cake. The support staff is very polite and the service is prompt. The food in the restaurant is economical and very delicious. The maintenance of the property is up to the mark The room tariffs is also pocket friendly. Out of 10 I will give 7.5 and must for all One suggestion: keep the standards like you have right now. The amusement park standards should be raised more as it will be very rewarding in future.

We visited the water park and amusement park on 27th September, 2025, and I’d like to share an honest review. I would rate the park 10/10 for cleanliness and hygiene, which was very well maintained. However, the slides were extremely disappointing. Most of the water slides were not functioning properly. Instead of sliding, we had to use our legs to crawl down, which completely ruined the experience. Out of all the slides, only 1–2 were working for adults, and for kids, none of them were operational. With tickets priced at ₹1800 per person, the visit felt absolutely overpriced and not worth the money, especially since the kids couldn’t enjoy the water slides at all. Spending nearly ₹7000 for two adults and two kids just to use the swimming pool did not feel justified. If someone is visiting purely for swimming, it might be fine, but as a water park experience, it fails. Regarding food, the taste was good and quality was fine. However, there was a clear mismatch between what is mentioned on the website and what is actually served. They don’t provide a buffet, and the number of items available is very limited. That said, given the low footfall, it may make sense for them to avoid wastage of resources. Overall, the park maintains great hygiene but falls far short in terms of rides and value for money.

Got it 👍 Here’s an extended version of your review with a few extra lines appreciating Devinder, the trip organizer: --- Review on a Trip to the Water Park My recent trip to the water park was an enjoyable and refreshing experience. The park offered a variety of exciting rides, from thrilling water slides to relaxing wave pools. The atmosphere was lively, and the facilities were clean and well-maintained. Spending time with friends and family made the visit even more memorable. It was a perfect way to beat the heat and enjoy a fun-filled day.

Fantastic destination for NCR Ha bas Jalebi deshi ghee ki bol ke na jane kis me deep fry karte he.

Pulkit K — Google review
Its a nice place to spend your whole day and trust me in the blink of an eye your whole day will pass.. its amazing the whole process from their warm welcome in morning(9:30 am )to bye bye in the evening (5:30) behavior of all staff remain professional ( someone must be guiding them or keeping an eye on them). you just have to take a cup of tea before leaving your house rest all food and drinks they provide and that too throughout the day, and the quality and taste of food are authentic. if you have good appetite you can recover your 1400 ticket fee through food alone. they have arranged water as well as washroom at every step so that after activities you dont have to go here and there. they provide lots of activities (both outdoor and indoor ) which are impossible to perform in one day, just like we missed all indoor activities like pool, archery etc. very good for people from 7 - 8 years to 40 - 45 years as i had taken my mother but she could just have food items there still she was feeling good to be there as she was watching her grand children enjoying the day. you must be in sports attire to fully enjoy the activities there so be in trousers and sports shoes same goes for female also. they also adding some new things which gonna be available from next year like MIRROR ROOM ESCAPE etc. i just want to request them to increase the evening time limit( beyond 5:30 pm) hope visit here agian to cover the rest of the games and enjoy the tasty food again. good parking space ( free) Note - Zipline is restricted to people having weight between 45kg to 90kg. we had some children below 45kg desired to get on zipline but unfortunately they did not allow( for safety reason) and we can understand that.

1. Approach road is very bad. Big potholes near the farm and near railway line. Cars can get stuck. Take only SUVs. Also pratapgarh farm management should get it fixed since it affects their guests and there is no other farm on this route. 2. No meals for your drivers. 3. Overall fun and activities are good. Very tiring so avoid taking older people unless you can make them rest somewhere. 4. Food is average. Variety is there but low in quality. Curd, chhach was very sour. Bhature oil wasn't good. Aloo sabji was so sour I got acidity. Nimbu paani tasted very artificial. No closing drinks or snacks. Halwa and gylabjamun were tasty. 5. Very hospitable staff on different activities. The pitloom and handloom and animal rides staff was very good. 6. Washroom cleaning needs to be frequent. Its average honestly. Some flushes don't work. Floor needs to be cleaned since soil is there. 7. They also sell handloom, ghee and more village products. 8. Hygiene issues are there. Cleaning of traditional attire clothes, pagdi must be done every night after tourists have used it to avoid spreading germs. 9. Good availablity and supply of cold drinking water near every zone. 10. Good variety of games. 11. Best was the gau shala. It was beautiful ti feed the cows, see the dairy and the temple. They also serve kheer. 12. All adventure sports are safe. Proper equipment. If they fix the approach road and ensure cleaner toilets, it'd be better.

Fun day out with kids It was time well-spent, experiencing and marvelling at the miniature world painstakingly built over a decade. The kids loved the exhibits and the activities, and we had to drag them home after spending hours there. We would love to visit again. Note: Finding the place may be a bit tricky with google map sending one on a road less travelled. Please ask the host for directions before you start.

The NeverEnuf Garden Railway is a charming escape for a weekend outing. At ₹750 per person, it's a bit on the expensive side, but the attention to detail and creativity in the miniature landscapes make it a worthwhile visit. Spending a few hours here is a delightful experience, and it's perfect for those looking for a unique and peaceful getaway. The owner’s passion and knowledge add to the overall enjoyment. While it's a bit pricey, the memories you'll create, and the joy of your inner child coming to life, make it a worthwhile visit for anyone seeking a smaller-scale adventure.
Rahul S — Google review
Horrible to say the least. Me and my wife are regretting every moment of it.It is in some godforsaken farm house where you will not find any sign boards, directions, or proper staff. I was so excited to take my kid thinking he will really enjoy.I am regretting that I did not see the bottom reviews. In the form of Garden Railway museum, you will find a small garden with some "toys" which are very ill-maintained and covered with dust. They are being operated by switches on the boundaries of thses carved out small areas. You will find a staff which at the most can tell you which button to press. In the form of food you only get over priced Maggi and machine tea. Bathrooms appear as if no one has visited them for years. We were done in just 15 mins. We knew we have been duped by this so called passionate hobby and a railway museum. And to charge 900 rs where I would not set my foot here again for free if given a chance was jist too much to take. My advise use your money for better things or outings, watch a movie or better still donate it. This is a complete waste of time , money and your emotions. We have been hoaxed...

Excellent place to be, you can see the hard work and passion all around. Fine details, too much of planning and nice little mechanics and electrical finishes to the setup is really good. The evening light show is awesome. Great place to sit and relax with family. Maggi, tea, coffee and coke are included and you take your food along, a complete picnic and day well spent with kids. We would visit again soon.

Heritage Transport Museum

Heritage museum
Museums
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.

This is really good place and every one should watch it with your kids who learn a lot about heritage of museums. Kolkata tram and Maruti 800 design at entrance is my favourite and there is a cafe which is also unique

And when you reach there you will find there is nothing.. this mall is not at all operational. Only thing that you will be able to see is ICICI bank and that's it.

Timings 9 am to 4 pm. Tickets Rs 15 for kids and 30 for Adults. Not very updated and very unclean. There is a documentary which is good. No parking no clean washrooms. So come with that in mind. Toy train is not operational and it's outdated and dead. Better to visit New Delhi Rail museum as it's amazing for kids.

These are the working models of steam engines and used in various movies like Sultan, Gaddar - Ek prem katha etc etc. There are various programs like steam locomotive simulator, Maintenance simulator, 3D virtual ride, museum etc etc. Must visit this place.

Movie theater
Lively retail complex offering an array of stores, a supermarket, casual eateries & a movie theater.
BMG Mall, located in the heart of Rewari, is one of the most popular shopping and entertainment destinations in the city. It offers a modern and well-maintained environment for families, couples, and youngsters alike. The mall houses a wide range of branded stores, making it a convenient spot for shopping clothes, accessories, electronics, and more. From lifestyle to budget-friendly brands, there’s something for everyone. The food court at BMG Mall is well-equipped with a variety of options, from fast food chains to local flavors.

Still, for a city like Rewari, BMG Mall is a major attraction and fulfills the lifestyle and entertainment needs of the local population. Overall, it's a great place for shopping, dining, and spending quality time with friends or family.

I have gone 2 months back with my friends for watching a movie and playing games. Food services are good and 7D movie is one of the attraction there. It is also having bar there. It is also having parking service at just 20 rs. This is the one and only entertainment place in Rewari during week ends.Nice & clean environment.... Variety of shops available ..clothes & shoes of different brand,cakes also available,Me and my friends went there to watch the movie.The lighting was the key factor to enhance its beauty. The theatre was huge and we enjoyed a lot. This is the one and only entertainment place in Rewari during week ends. This enables children and elders to enjoy week end with little shopping needs.

BMG Mall is okay, but not up to the mark in terms of modern standards. Most shops feel outdated, and it definitely needs some updates—new stores, fresh vibes, and a proper gaming zone would make a big difference. Overall, it's just average for now.
Study O — Google review
It is the first-ever and the only mall in Rewari. It has nice theaters i.e. BMG Cinemas and Domino which is the major reason why I visit there. It has shops of many well-known brands and is always clean whenever you visit there. Obviously you can not compare it to the malls of Gurugram and Delhi but still is not that bad. As it is the only Mall it has always been a center of attraction for people living here and during the day time nearby village people also come here. It is decorated on various occasions like 15th August, Republic Day, Diwali etc. It is an overall nice place.

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]

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

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

Little costly but worth it, as it comes in combination with Fort entry... There are total 5 zips, though only 2 are longer but still 5 zips satisfy your gut.... Initially tracking to the mountain top feels like tiring, but it's worth taking ride...

Zip lining at Neemrana is a must do. Flying fox was awesome at it. The training, instructors, facilities (like harness, gloves and even water bottle) were all too good. The hike up till the zip line was a bit tiring, about 750m of climbing, but it was totally worth it. The views from each of the 5 zip lines were amazing. 2 tips: follow the instructions given by your guides regarding posture, or you'll find yourself pulling on the zip.. and, choose to zip when it's not too sunny as it becomes difficult to climb when it's too hot.

Alwar City Palace Vinay Villas Palace

Museum
Sights & Landmarks
Alwar City Palace, also known as Vinay Vilas Mahal, is a majestic former palace complex that serves as a landmark in the city of Alwar. Built by Raja Bakhtayar Singh in the 17th century, it now houses government offices and the City Museum on its upper floors. The museum displays a rich collection of artifacts from the royal era, including coins, arms and weapons, sculptures, paintings, and manuscripts.
The City Palace, Alwar is one of the finest heritage landmarks that beautifully showcases the grandeur of Rajput and Mughal architecture. Situated right at the foothills of the Aravalli range, the palace has a regal charm and an old-world elegance that transports you back in time. The palace complex is vast, with beautifully carved gates, marble pavilions, large courtyards, and intricate arches that reflect the craftsmanship of the bygone era. It also houses government offices specifically the District court. These carved arches, courtyards, grand entrance and marble work all reflect the charm of this place. Inside the palace, there’s a museum that houses an impressive collection of rare manuscripts, old royal armory, swords, shields, paintings, sculptures, and historical artifacts. For history lovers, the museum itself is a treasure trove that gives deep insight into the cultural richness and royal legacy of Alwar. The palace premises are peaceful and less crowded compared to many other tourist spots, which makes it easier to explore at your own pace While some parts of the palace show signs of aging and could use more maintenance, the overall experience remains enriching and memorable. After visiting the City palace, nearby spots like Sagar Lake and Moosi Maharani ki Chhatri are worth visiting together to complete the experience.

Disappointed to see... Alwar City palace instead of being beautiful and grand architecture.. encroached by various government offices, court, lawyers and other district administration offices. Very less is left for tourists with no proper maintenance... Signages ... Drinking water facilities. A fade board of museum is seen leads to the top of museum. Museum is must to watch having a vast collection of ancient historical scriptures and ammunition .

The City Palace of Alwar, also known as Vinay Vilas Mahal, stands as a testament to the region's rich history and architectural grandeur. Built by Raja Bakhtawar Singh in 1793, it's a captivating blend of Rajput and Mughal architectural styles. Here's a glimpse: Architectural Splendor: The palace showcases intricate frescoes, delicate mirror work, and elegant arches. It features a fusion of Mughal, Rajput, and European influences, evident in its ornate balconies and spacious courtyards. The Sheesh Mahal, or hall of mirrors, displays exquisite glasswork. Historical Significance: It served as the royal residence and a seat of governance. The palace houses a museum with a rich collection of artifacts, including weaponry, manuscripts, and miniature paintings. The museum also houses many historical weapons, and manuscripts from various historical era's. Present Day: Parts of the palace are now used for government offices, and the upper floors are a museum. While the palace retains its historical charm, some areas show signs of age, with wear and tear due to the constant passing of time, and the sheer size of the complex making total upkeep difficult. Despite any signs of age, the City Palace remains a significant cultural landmark, offering visitors a glimpse into the opulent lifestyle of Rajasthan's royal past.

As expected, it's such a beautiful place , you won't feel visiting any palace at first as it turned into a court from the front but as you enter it , u will be amazed to see the structure, it's literally a palace than a museum , u can see the Darbar (place where the king use to sit and take the Darbar ) . I visited the museum first due to the closing timing . The fair for the museum is affordable for the common middle class too , and for the foreigners, I felt it a bit more but a place to definitely visit . The most beautiful thing was the Darbar for me as it was a big palace where u can actually see how the people of that time used to travel to the top , with different pattern of ramp , the secrets door that gonna excite u that what it could u , it's a place where u can actually feel those things . A must recommend place . 😌

The City Palace complex is very beautiful and there are plans to build a balcony along it. There is a big field behind the gate. There is Krishna temple in this ground. Just behind this is Musi Rani's Chhatri and other places of interest. In the morning, when the first rays of the sun fall on the main gate of the City Palace complex, its shade is worth seeing. Its condition is pathetic in recent times. This entire building is occupied by government offices, mainly that of the District Magistrate and the Superintendent of Alwar Police. It was built by Raja Bakhtawar Singh in 1793. Tourists cannot live without praising its beauty. There is also a museum on the top floor of this building. A fee has to be paid to visit the museum. It is divided into three halls. In the first hall, royal costumes and clay toys are kept, the main attraction of this hall is the bicycle of Maharaj Jai Singh. Every thing here is beautifully decorated. In the second hall, there are pictures of many famous kings of Central Asia. Pictures from Taimur to Aurangzeb are displayed in this hall. Munitions are displayed in the third hall. The main attraction of this hall is the swords of Akbar and Jahangir. There is a sheath here in which two swords can be kept together, this is a special sight for the tourists. Time to visit the museum is 10 am to 5 pm, closed on Friday

Bala Fort, also known as Alwar Fort, is an ancient stronghold with a masonry facade, 66 towers, and 6 large gates. It was constructed in 1550 on a hill by Hasan Khan Mewati. The fort stands over 300 meters above the ground and spans 5 kilometers from north to south and 1.6 kilometers from east to west.
We can reach Bala fort by our own car with an entry rate of 50/- and 10/- per person. The 7 km road to kila is awesome. Keep it 30 km fast on the road. No honking. No halting. No getting out of the car until you reach the fort. Beautiful fort and palace.

You can save your time and skin (from scorching heat), money, fuel if you skip this place. Someone suggested that it is more beautiful than the Alwar museum. Because of world heritage day, there were no tickets anywhere. However these people still charged for parking as well as per person cost. They strictly asked us to not carry single plastic items like Kurkure/coca cola etc as it's not allowed. When we visited the fort, they have not maintained it and chips packet were there on the stairs. Also, there is no shade in this fort. It's plain and no architecture. Simple white walls. The only good part was a temple which was good. Another good thing was the view from a corner of the fort. However, it is under construction and looking at the condition, the ceiling may fall any time.

Bala Quila or Alwar Fort is a stunning 15th-century fort nestled in the Aravalli Hills, offering breathtaking views of Alwar city. With its massive gates, Mughal-Rajput architecture, and peaceful surroundings, it’s a delight for history lovers and photographers alike. The fort itself is huge and filled with stories of Rajputana valor and Mughal influence. It is spread over a massive area of around 5 km, with six majestic gates and numerous watchtowers. The architecture reflects a blend of Rajputana strength and Mughal elegance, with beautifully carved arches, massive gateways, and strategic bastions. Walking through its ruins, you can almost imagine the tales of kings, battles, and royal life that once echoed within its walls. It's grand gates, watchtowers, and walls stand as a testament to its strategic importance in history. Though some parts are in ruins, it only adds to the feeling of stepping back in time. The fort also houses a museum with old guns, swords, and artifacts that reflect its royal past. One of the highlights is the peaceful atmosphere—you don’t find heavy crowds here like at other tourist spots, making it perfect for those who love exploring heritage in a quiet, relaxed way. If you are a history buff, nature lover, or simply someone who enjoys panoramic views, Bala Fort is a must-visit. What makes the visit truly special is the location. The drive up to the fort is through dense green forest, part of the Sariska Tiger Reserve region, making it scenic and adventurous. You could see wildlife in this area. This scenic drive through greenery adds to the charm. Once at the top, the view of Alwar city is breathtaking, especially at sunrise and sunset when the golden light spreads over the Aravalli. Tip: Carry water, wear comfortable shoes, and try visiting early in the morning or evening for the best experience. A true hidden gem of Rajasthan that deserves much more attention—if you are in or around Alwar, Bala Fort is a must-visit!
Pragya K — Google review
A small museum building with a large courtyard on the precipice, is the setting you can expect. Nothing is unusual or novel but the drive up the hill is pleasant with the sight of parts of the fort wall or some ruined structure here and there dotting along... Worth the trouble in the context of this small town with not much to see otherwise if you are on a long weekend.

While the fort in itself is nice, some parts are not well-maintained, specially some ceilings and walls, and appear as if they'll disintegrate at any time. The problem, as in most places is the attitude of the ticketing staff and the security. Apparently there is a jeep safari and the cost is prohibitive for a single person. Many people do not visit, and I too was warned by well-wishers where I was staying that it would be better not to visit. However having gone all the way to Alwar, I felt that I might later regret missing this visit. There were hardly any visitors, & I was told to pay the full amount for a jeep if I was interested in going alone, or wait till more people came. I decided to wait for a while, but for at least half an hour no one turned up. Then two visitors in a private vehicle, were kind enough to accommodate me, so for ₹10 only I was fortunate enough to visit the fort and a couple of serene temples inside the complex. So unless you have your own private vehicle, visiting this place is a tedious and costly process, and requires careful planning. The fort & it's precincts are well-maintained, I didn't see any litter inside, though some do manage to sneak in some packages snacks and water bottles and throw them here and there.

While returning from Jaipur on 21st October 2025, we decided to take a detour and visit bala Quila in Alwar. It was a good distance of around 50 km from Mumbai expressway through rural area of Rajsthan. We reached at the entry gate at 3.30 pm and to our disappointment, there was a board on entry gate mentioning that approach road to the fort from entry gates was damaged somewhere (in between) so no one was allowed to visit the fort. A person standing there (looked like dalal) said that he was the ticket selling person. He said that you can't go to the fort and he offered us a Jungle safari for Rs.7400 which was a real scam type thing. Another person told us that road is damaged since last 8 months and there was no idea when it will be repaired and open for public. In sheer disappointment, we just visited moosi maharani ki chatri (5 minute drive from fort entry gate) and returned to Delhi. So anyone planning to visit Bala quila, do check first the latest update and then go there. Posting some picture of moosi maharni ki chatri.

Bala Quila, also known as Alwar Fort, is a massive hilltop fort overlooking the city of Alwar. The drive up the hill itself is scenic, surrounded by the Aravalli hills and greenery. Once you reach the fort, the views of the entire city and surrounding valley are absolutely breathtaking – definitely the highlight of the visit. The fort has a long history, and you can still see ancient gates, walls, and old palaces inside. However, much of the structure is in ruins and not properly maintained. Foreign visitors may find the site less polished compared to forts in Jaipur or Udaipur, but it feels raw and authentic, almost untouched. ⚠️ Practical Tips: Entry fee is minimal (₹50 / less than $1). Best to hire a local guide if you want the historical details, since there aren’t many boards with information. Carry water, wear comfortable shoes, and avoid visiting late evening as it gets deserted. You may need a permit from the Forest Office at the base (check before going).

Located on the top floor of the Vinay Vikas Mahal in Alwar, this museum boasts of a large collection of weapons, amongst other royal paraphernalia. The other exhibit in large quantities is coins. As a museum it is almost 90 years old. It is a difficult climb to reach the top and I was informed by several occupants of the building that a lift is not available.

I recently visited the Alwar Museum, located within the City Palace, and was impressed by its rich collection. With a ticket price of ₹25 for Indian adults, it's an affordable experience. The museum showcases stunning miniature paintings, ancient sculptures, rare manuscripts, and an impressive array of weapons and armory. A must-visit for history enthusiasts!

Believed to have been built by Maharaja Vinay Singh for his queen, it was once used as a summer retreat by the royals. Nestled on the baks of the Siliserh Lake on the outskirts of Always, the palace offers scenic views over the lake sone some surrounding hills. Entry is ₹100 & one can exchange the ticket for a bottle of water and some insipid tea/coffee.
Suresh M — Google review
Siliserh Lake is a peaceful escape from the city. The lake is clean, surrounded by green hills, and perfect for photography or a quiet walk. You can see local fishermen and enjoy a calm boat ride. There are small food stalls near the entrance, but bringing your own snacks is also nice. Great for couples, families, and solo travelers who want a relaxing day in nature. Highly recommended if you’re visiting Alwar.

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

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

The resort truly exceeded expectations with its excellent food, breathtaking scenery, and warm hospitality. Every meal was thoughtfully prepared, offering both taste and variety. The scenic surroundings added a refreshing charm, making the stay even more memorable. The staff provided outstanding service—always attentive, courteous, and eager to help. Overall, it was a perfect blend of comfort, nature, and fine dining. Highly recommended for anyone seeking relaxation with top-class service.
POOJA C — Google review
⭐️⭐️ (2 stars only for the kind staff and good food) I’m giving 2 stars — and that too only because of the extremely generous and polite staff, and the surprisingly good food. Apart from that, the entire stay was a huge disappointment. The rooms were far from clean, full of insects, and felt completely neglected. The bathroom didn’t even have an exhaust fan, and there was no water in the tap — forget about using the shower. It was honestly shocking for a place that claims to be 4 stars property. Cleanliness and basic facilities were completely missing. Definitely not worth the money or the hassle. Wouldn’t recommend unless the management seriously upgrades the property and pays attention to hygiene and guest comfort.

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

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

Overall experience was good. If you want gypsy then book it in advance otherwise canter will be available. Check time slots before visiting. Chances of tiger sighting is low but if you are lucky enough you can sight tiger

There are 2 slots for the safari. One at 6:30 and another at 13:30. Gypsies can be only booked online. In-person booking only offers canter vans. It is recommended to book your slot one day prior (if online) or you can book on the same day (if offline). The safari is of a good 150 to 180 minutes and gypsies offer a better experience than canter vans.
Rushabh Y — Google review
It is lovely place to explore, don't expect much in terms of spotting a Tiger. As Sariska is a huge area and limited tigers are there. As per my recent trips only 12 tigers are there in the whole Sariska Reserve. But Jeep Safari is enjoyable and much fun. If you are planning to go there, better visit in Summer as Summer is the best time to spot the Tiger.

Sariska tiger reserve booking office is 40 km from Alwar city surrounded by Aravalli tiger range, you can get window ticket 1 hr before safari in case availability of ticket is there after online booking. It opens 6 am in the morning and closes at 11 am after safari, reopens at 1 pm for evening safari. I had visited the place with my family and daughter during the occasion of diwali. Safari ticket can be booked from rajasthan.gov.in by following some simple steps. Make a login by aadhar number mail id and mobile number, then as per availability book the slot of safari, there are two gates sariska and tahela, sariska is the main gate, there are 3 tracks which need to mention during booking. There is one cafe for snacks and tea/ coffee, one shop for collections of mementoes of sariska. One gallery for information of the birds of animals of this national park, there is toilet and parking facilities, but parking is chargeable 50 Rs. This place is in front of sariska palace decorated for photography, neelgai, sambar deer and spotted dear was found to moving freely in this area. Be careful for monkeys,

Bhangarh Fort

Mentioned on 
3 lists 
Fortress
Sights & Landmarks
Bhangarh Fort is a historic complex with the remains of Hindu temples, royal palaces, and tombs. Located about 90 km from Jaipur, it is maintained by the Archaeological Survey of India and the state government. Despite its reputation as one of India's most haunted places, visitors have found it to be a well-constructed and beautifully designed fort. The interior buildings are poorly maintained in some areas, but guides are available to explain the fort's history.
A must visit place while visiting Jaipur. Bhangarh Fort is an absolutely beautiful and mesmerizing place to visit! The fort is surrounded by hills on three sides, offering stunning open views and fresh, clean air all around. The area is very neat and well-maintained. On the way to the fort, there’s an old abandoned market about 300 meters long, the ancient ruins give a glimpse into history. The path is lined with huge old banyan trees whose vines touch the ground and form new roots, which looks magical. Inside and around the fort, there are several ancient temples, monkeys, and even peacocks roaming freely. The views from the fort are breathtaking, especially in the morning or late afternoon. Some inner chambers have a strong smell because of bats hanging from the ceilings, so it’s hard to go inside. Overall, Bhangarh Fort is peaceful, scenic, and full of history. Definitely worth visiting if you love heritage and nature.
GAURAV K — Google review
Bhangarh Fort is a fascinating historical site with incredible architecture and stories that take you back in time. The fort complex is vast, with ample parking available, and local Hindi-speaking guides at the entrance make the visit more engaging with their tales of history and folklore. The entry ticket for Indian guests is very reasonable at just ₹25. While the fort’s upkeep could be better—with limited maintenance, no clean washrooms, and monkeys freely roaming around—the charm of the ruins and the atmosphere more than make up for it. A must-visit for history and heritage lovers.
The L — Google review
★★Description★★ ​Bhangarh Fort, located in the Alwar district of Rajasthan, is widely known as the "Most Haunted Place in India". Constructed in the 17th century by Raja Madho Singh, the fort once stood as a thriving town with palaces, temples, and a bustling marketplace, all showcasing a blend of Rajput and Mughal architecture. However, its prosperity was short-lived, with its ruins now shrouded in chilling local legends, most famously involving a sorcerer's curse on the beautiful Princess Ratnavati and an ascetic, Guru Balu Nath, whose condition about the fort's shadow was violated. The Archaeological Survey of India has legally prohibited entry into the fort premises after sunset and before sunrise due to its infamous reputation. Despite the eerie atmosphere and desolate nature of the ruins, Bhangarh remains a significant historical site and a major attraction for thrill-seekers and paranormal enthusiasts. ★★★ After visit, I think this wonderful place is one of the best forts in Rajasthan in case of ambiance. ★ No haunted activity is there. All forts of Rajasthan are closed at 6:30 PM (Plus minus 30 minutes for sun light). Inside this fort few number of leopards are found after sunset ( Source local people and Shop owner). Entry fees 25 rupees for Indian.(Cash Payment) Online Payment 20 rupees. A must visit palce in Rajasthan.
SAIKAT M — Google review
Firstly, visit the place before sunset or reach not later than 4 in the evening because the guard will suggest doing it quickly. By the time I reached there, it was closed (5 o'clock in the evening), so I just conversed with the guards; they were very friendly, and there was a Hanuman temple at the entrance. The whole vibe was different. I was very excited to be there, and my sister was feeling low at the same time.
Chitrak T — Google review
(A must-see for history buffs and thrill-seekers alike) I'd heard the legends for years: Bhangarh, India's most haunted fort, forbidden after sunset. Naturally, my curiosity got the better of me, and I had to see it for myself during a recent trip to Rajasthan. It was an experience I won't soon forget. The Drive and Arrival: The journey itself sets the tone. As we approached the fort, the surrounding landscape became increasingly desolate. We drove past the ruins of what used to be a bustling town—crumbling havelis and empty marketplaces line the road, giving you a real sense of a lost city. It was eerily quiet, save for the occasional monkey scampering across the path. Exploring the Ruins: Once inside, the scale of the place is impressive. It's not a typical hilltop fort; instead, it's nestled in the foothills of the Aravalli range, which gives it a unique, secluded feel. I spent hours wandering through the ancient stone pathways. The architecture is a beautiful blend of Rajput and Mughal styles, with intricately carved temples like the Gopinath and Someshwar Temples still somewhat intact. The main palace is mostly in ruins, but climbing to the top offered a breathtaking panoramic view of the entire complex and the surrounding hills. It's a photographer's paradise during the day. The "Haunted" Vibe: Did I see a ghost? No. Did I feel an unusual chill or hear crying children? Also no. However, there's an undeniable heaviness to the atmosphere, a profound stillness that makes you wonder about the tragic history. The official ASI (Archaeological Survey of India) sign explicitly warning against entry after sunset and before sunrise certainly adds to the mystique, making the ghost stories feel a little more real than they might otherwise. I decided not to hire a guide, but in hindsight, I wish I had; while the ruins are impressive, a local guide's dramatic retelling of the Princess Ratnavati and the cursed tantric stories would have enhanced the experience even more. My Verdict: Bhangarh Fort is absolutely worth a visit. It's not a spooky fright-fest during the day, but a genuinely beautiful and historically fascinating archaeological site. Go for the history, the architecture, and the incredible photo opportunities. Just be sure to time your visit right – I was out of there well before the sun started to dip below the horizon!
DINESH — Google review
What an adventurous trip to Bhangarh Fort! The place is full of mystery and charm. Walking through the old ruins, temples, and palaces feels like stepping back in time. The stories of it being “haunted” add an extra thrill — you actually get goosebumps exploring the silent corners! The backdrop of Aravalli hills makes it even more beautiful, and the view from the fort is just amazing. Perfect spot for history lovers, adventure seekers, and even those who enjoy a little spooky fun. Tip: Go with friends or family, carry snacks and water, and don’t forget your camera — every corner is picture-perfect!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A building of great character and interest, BUT the staff mostly had an extremely 'can't be bothered' attitude, the plumbing was very poor. The beer was served warm until we complained, the buffet dinner was average but the breakfast was very poor compared with all other Indian hotels we have stayed in. A dog in the hotel yard barked hourly and kept many of us awake. It could be so much better given good management and better staff.

We visited Fort Madogarh during winter and had a very comfortable stay. The staff are wonderful and our room was an absolute delight. What other reviewers say is true, there were blackouts, but personally the experience we had here was significantly better than several 3 and 4 star hotels in the bigger cities and the people working here made it a delight. I was able to live out a dream of staying in a castle and while some other places we stayed were more fully renovated, they didn't have the spectacular views and the smiling staff. We visited with intrepid and for me this was the absolute highlight of our trip.
Aaron L — Google review
Oh no. I didn't have a great time here, mostly because there were a lot of bugs in the room. The fort is fun to explore, definitely a playground. The history is amazing, the views are impressive. And the staff is so kind that I hate to leave a sad review. No AC, weak wifi (only in common area), no hot water -- not problems. So many bugs (particularly spiders) in the room is a problem for me. I stayed here as part of an Intrepid tour, and it was by far my least favorite moment. Others in my tour group said it was their favorite stay of the trip, so I think it really depends on which room you get.

Amber Palace

Mentioned on 
+53 other lists 
Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Amber Palace, also known as Amer Fort, is a stunning architectural marvel located in Jaipur, Rajasthan. This magnificent fort showcases a blend of Hindu and Muslim design elements, making it a unique cultural landmark. Visitors can enjoy elephant rides that add to the enchanting experience of exploring this historical site. The fort's intricate structures are built from various colored stones—milk white, light yellow, rose red, and pure white—which give it an amber-like appearance from afar.
Amer Fort – A Living Painting on the Hill Amer Fort isn’t just a monument — it’s like walking into a moving painting of Rajasthan’s royal past. Built by Raja Man Singh I in 1592 and later expanded by Mirza Raja Jai Singh I, the fort stands proudly on the Aravalli hills, watching over the calm Maota Lake below. The first sight itself is unforgettable — elephants walking up the cobbled path, the Suraj Pol gate glowing in sunlight, and the reflection of the fort in the lake making it look double beautiful. In the middle of that lake lies Kesar Kyari Bagh, a star-shaped garden built on a small island. Centuries ago, the royals planted saffron here, and the queens admired it from the palace balconies. Even today, it looks like a silent secret floating in time. Inside the fort, the Sheesh Mahal (Mirror Palace) steals your heart. One small flame lights up hundreds of tiny mirrors — pure magic without electricity! The planning of water channels, cooling systems, and hidden passages shows how smart ancient engineers were. Amer was once a defence fort but feels more like an art gallery of the Rajput spirit. Managed today by the Government of Rajasthan, it remains beautifully preserved. If you ever visit Jaipur, don’t rush. Sit near Maota Lake at sunset, watch the fort turn golden, and you’ll feel that history here doesn’t sleep — it just shines quietly.
Dineshsingh C — Google review
Amer Fort, perched on the rugged Aravalli hills of Jaipur, is one of those places that instantly pulls you back into the grandeur of Rajasthan’s royal era. The moment you enter the main gate, the Sheesh Mahal’s shimmer, the intricate Rajput-Mughal designs, and the vast courtyards begin telling centuries-old stories of valor and elegance. The fort is massive yet beautifully detailed—every arch, jharokha, and pillar feels handcrafted with devotion. The Diwan-e-Aam, Ganesh Pol, and the breathtaking mirror work inside the palace are the true highlights. From the top, you get an incredible panoramic view of Maota Lake and the surrounding hills, making it a perfect spot for photography and peaceful reflection. Even with the crowds, Amer Fort maintains a calm, regal vibe. The light-and-sound show in the evening is also worth experiencing, as it beautifully narrates the fort’s rich history. Whether you're a history lover, architecture enthusiast, or simply someone who enjoys exploring majestic places, Amer Fort is a destination you shouldn’t miss. It’s not just a monument—it’s a timeless symbol of Rajput glory and artistic brilliance. A must-visit gem of Jaipur!

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

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

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.

Sheesh Mahal, Amber Fort

Sheesh Mahal, also known as the Mirror Palace, is a stunning pavilion within Amber Fort that was once used by the imperial family. The palace is renowned for its intricate mirror work, featuring traditional motifs and lotus designs adorning thousands of small mirrors. It is said that even the light from a single candle could illuminate the entire Sheesh Mahal. This historical gem served as the backdrop for iconic scenes in Bollywood films and has become a popular spot for visitors seeking Instagram-worthy photos.
If you are riding the elephant, be prepared to tip your rider, face thousands of extremely persistent photographers trying to sell you their photographs, if possible just don’t take photos if you do not want. The experience because of that is not too good. Luckily we had a guide to shoo them off as much as possible. Otherwise, the Amber Fort was amazing and the tour guide brought us to every nook and cranny well!! Overall, we spent a good 2 hours here. Should go earlier, otherwise it will be too crowded and extremely hard to take photos!

Sheesh Mahal (Mirror Palace) inside Amber Fort is truly a jewel of Jaipur’s royal heritage. The moment you step into this part of the fort, you’re greeted by a dazzling sight — walls and ceilings covered in thousands of tiny convex mirrors, intricate glass mosaics, and floral patterns inlaid with precious stones. Even a single candle or ray of sunlight transforms the whole hall into a shimmering galaxy of reflections. Built during the reign of Maharaja Man Singh in the 16th century and further enhanced by later rulers, Sheesh Mahal was used as a royal reception hall and private chamber for the queens. One of its most fascinating features is its ability to illuminate with minimal light — a single flame could create the effect of a starry night sky, allowing the royals to enjoy beauty and warmth without open flames. The craftsmanship here is beyond words. Every mirror piece is hand-cut, and every floral motif is painted with natural colors, showing the unmatched skill of artisans from centuries ago. It’s not just architecture; it’s poetry in glass and stone. Photography here is an absolute delight, but nothing compares to seeing it with your own eyes — the way light dances across the walls feels almost magical. The area is well-maintained, though due to preservation efforts, some parts are restricted for visitors, which is understandable given its delicate nature. If you’re visiting Amber Fort, Sheesh Mahal is the heart of the experience. Take your time here, look closely at the details, and imagine the royal gatherings, music, and laughter that once filled this sparkling hall. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

It should be the first place on the itinerary if you're planning to visit Jaipur. It will take minimum an hour to explore and if you prefer to click and capture photos along with it. Consider a minimum of 2-3 hours. You might find several points inside the fort of interest and photo friendly. If you wish to know its history consider a guide otherwise check YouTube plenty of people have described about it before.

Sheesh Mahal at Amber Fort is a spectacular sight, with its intricate mirror work and stunning architecture that truly showcases Mughal craftsmanship. However, the experience can be a bit overwhelming because there are too many vendors constantly approaching tourists to sell goods or services. Despite that, the historical significance and sheer beauty of the place make it well worth a visit, earning it a solid 4-star rating.

The Sheesh Mahal, located within the Amber Fort complex, is a must-visit destination for tourists visiting Jaipur. Dubbed as “The Palace of Mirrors”, it exudes opulence and extravagance with its intricate setting of precious stones and mirror work on walls and ceilings. Built in 1727 by Maharaja Man Singh, the palace boasts a unique mirror arrangement that reflects a single ray of light to illuminate the entire room. The exquisite mirror work is a testament to the exceptional craftsmanship of designers and architects from a bygone era, leaving visitors in awe of their expertise.

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

Jaigarh Fort, located in Jaipur, was built in the 18th century by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II to protect the Amber Fort complex. The fort spans 3 km in length and 1 km in breadth and offers stunning views of Maota Lake and Amer Fort. It houses temples, residential complexes, and well-preserved water reservoirs. One of its main attractions is the Jaivana Cannon, known as the world's largest cannon on wheels.

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

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

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

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

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

​The Jal Mahal (meaning "Water Palace") is a stunning architectural marvel situated in the middle of the Man Sagar Lake in Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan, India. Built primarily in the red sandstone, this five-storey palace appears to be floating serenely on the water, with four of its floors submerged during a full lake, leaving only the top floor visible. Originally constructed in 1799 by Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh for duck hunting, the palace was later extensively renovated and expanded by Maharaja Jai Singh II of Amber in the 18th century. Its distinctive blend of Rajput and Mughal architectural styles is evident in the symmetrical design, the intricate carvings, and the beautiful terraced garden on its roof, which was once adorned with arcades and semi-octagonal towers. Though currently inaccessible to visitors inside, the palace and its picturesque reflection on the lake's surface offer one of the most tranquil and photographed sights in the "Pink City."

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

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

Visited Nahargarh Fort in the morning and really enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere and panoramic city views. The fort is beautifully built on the hilltop, offering a stunning view of Jaipur from above. Unfortunately, the Padao Restaurant was closed when we reached, so we couldn’t try it — it would have been nice to enjoy breakfast or tea with that view. Still, the fort itself is worth visiting, especially in the morning when it’s quiet and not crowded.

Amazing place. The Fort is amazing, great architecture, detailing and history. But, Be aware of monkey's here. And parking space is such a mess. No ground leveling, hard stones all over. You can skip the food from Padao Café. The free coffee is probably the worst coffee I've ever tasted. The scenic beauty is the only thing people go there. And you have to pay Rs.200 per person just to visit that cafe. Free coffee is included. Other than that, it is a beautiful place to go with friends and family.

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.

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!

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

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

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

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

The City Palace in Jaipur is an opulent 18th-century palace that once served as the residence of Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II and is now a museum. It's a popular historical attraction known for its beautiful collection of paintings, textile gallery, armory, Durbar hall, BaggiKhana, and SarvatoBhadraor (Diwan E-Khas) with exquisite architectural beauty.
City Palace in Jaipur is an incredible blend of history, art, and royal elegance — a must-visit for anyone exploring the Pink City. The palace complex perfectly combines Mughal and Rajput architectural styles, with grand gateways, beautiful courtyards, and intricately designed halls. As soon as you step inside, you’re surrounded by marble archways, colorful murals, and royal charm that instantly takes you back in time. The highlight for me was the famous Peacock Gate — a masterpiece of design with vibrant colors and amazing craftsmanship. It’s also one of the most photographed spots here, and for good reason. The museum inside the palace is very well-maintained, showcasing royal costumes, ancient weaponry, and artifacts that tell the story of Jaipur’s royal legacy. I also enjoyed visiting the Diwan-i-Khas and Diwan-i-Aam — both halls are majestic and filled with historical significance. There’s a small café inside the complex that serves good coffee and snacks, perfect for relaxing after exploring. The place is clean, well-managed, and the staff is polite and helpful. The entry fee might feel a bit high, but considering the beauty, maintenance, and experience, it’s absolutely worth it. I recommend visiting in the morning or late afternoon for good lighting and smaller crowds. My photos from the upper terrace and courtyard turned out stunning! Overall, City Palace is a gem in Jaipur — grand, graceful, and full of stories that every traveler should experience.

A magnificent blend of history and royalty! City Palace is one of the most impressive attractions in Jaipur. The architecture is grand, with beautifully carved courtyards, vibrant doorways, and well-preserved artifacts that reflect the rich heritage of the royal family. 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 😅

Vihas K — Google review
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!

Observatory

Observatories & Planetariums
Jantar Mantar in Jaipur is a fascinating 18th-century heritage site that stands as a testament to the astronomical prowess of its creator, Maharaj Sawai Jai Singh II. This remarkable observatory, constructed in 1726 from masonry, marble, and brass, features an array of fixed instruments known as yantras. These large-scale structures resemble abstract sculptures but serve a serious purpose: they accurately measure celestial phenomena such as timekeeping, star locations, planetary angles, and even predict eclipses.
Jantar Mantar in Jaipur is one of the most fascinating places I’ve ever visited. It’s not just a historical monument but a real scientific wonder that shows how advanced India’s astronomical knowledge was centuries ago. Built by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II in the early 1700s, this UNESCO World Heritage Site features massive instruments made entirely of stone and marble — all used to study the stars, track time, and predict eclipses long before modern technology existed. The highlight is the Samrat Yantra, the world’s largest stone sundial, which can measure time with incredible accuracy — up to just a few seconds! There are several other fascinating instruments, each designed with perfect geometric precision. It’s truly mind-blowing to think that these were built over 300 years ago without any modern equipment. 👉 Make sure to get a local guide — they will explain everything clearly and make the experience ten times better. The instruments can look confusing at first, but once the guide walks you through how each one works, it becomes absolutely captivating. My guide explained how shadows, angles, and sunlight were used to calculate time and planetary positions — it was like stepping into a live science classroom! The complex is clean, well-maintained, and ideal for photography, especially in the morning when the light hits the instruments beautifully. There are shaded spots to relax, and the atmosphere feels peaceful despite being near the busy City Palace area. Overall, Jantar Mantar is a must-visit in Jaipur — a perfect blend of history, science, and art. It’s one of those places that truly makes you admire India’s ancient brilliance. Highly recommended!

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

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

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

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