The Vintage Car Museum at Fateh Vilas by Fateh Collection is a must-visit for car enthusiasts and history buffs in Udaipur. Housed in the former Mewar State Motor Garage, this small museum showcases an impressive collection of vintage cars, rickshaws, horse-drawn carriages, and trucks.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you so much, Piyush Paliwal ji, for giving me the opportunity to see your amazing car collection. All the cars are in truly outstanding condition and look absolutely stunning. Each beauty in the collection is very well maintained and a pleasure to see!

Not worth. The collection of cars is good but the display is very poor. All the cars are kept in rooms and you can just see them from the front. what's the point of visiting if you can't even look at displayed cars properly. Would not recommend wasting the money and time to visit. Avoid!.
Rishav P — Google review
An amazing collection of Vintage Cars worth visiting. This is free for people staying in Fateh Villas and Fateh Garh. A collection of more than 20+ vintage cars and 5+ vintage bikes. We got a free guided tour during our visit and the staff is very friendly.
Geosley A — Google review
The collection is located at: Fateh Vilas, by Fateh Collection, Sisarma Road, near Hotel Fateh Garh, Bujra, Udaipur, Rajasthan 313001, India. It is part of the larger “Fateh Collection” set of experiences and accommodations. Opening hours: According to one source, 11:00 AM – 5:00 PM (varies) for the museum. Entry fee: Approx. ₹250 + 18% tax as listed for the museum in the experience list. Direct booking of the hotel (Fateh Vilas) may include complimentary museum access. --- 👍 What works well Nice collection of vintage cars: Reviewers mention there are more than 20 vintage cars (and some bikes) in the collection. Well-maintained vehicles: Many visitors say the cars are in good condition, the space is clean and the staff can offer background or stories about them. For example: > “The cars are beautifully preserved, each telling a story of royal legacy.” Good for car enthusiasts / history buffs: If you enjoy vintage automobiles, seeing vehicles from a bygone era (royal garages) is a unique experience.

The car collection belongs to Fateh palace and it is a part of the property. Though they have nice vintage collection of both cars and bike, the space is limited and the price doesn't match the experience one gets. The way to the property is green and outside the city hustle but not worth for the efforts.

The car collection was exquisite and well maintained. The hotel staff who guided us through the collection (Mr. Devi Lal) patiently explained the back-story of all the vehicles. We were staying at Fateh Niwas, so our entry was free.
Abhishek S — Google review
The Collection was pretty good. Many old school car brand models were present at the museum. The ticket fare could have been lower as 400₹ per person is a bit on the higher side considering there is only 15 mins worth of things you can take a look at. But if you're a car enthusiasts like me you're going to love this space and the collection.

Jagmandir Island Palace

Hotel
Sights & Landmarks
Jagmandir Island Palace, also known as Lake Garden Palace, is a 17th-century island palace located on the tranquil shores of Lake Pichola in Udaipur. This upscale hotel offers stylish dining, stunning lake views, a spa, and a museum. The palace complex features enchanting divisions such as Gul Mahal, Garden Courtyard, Darikhana, Bara Patharon ka Mahal, Zenana Mahal, and Kunwar Pada ka.
We visited Jagmandir Udaipur recently, and it was magical! The boat ride to this island palace on Lake Pichola was scenic, with stunning views of the lake and hills. The palace is gorgeous, with lush gardens and intricate carvings that feel so royal. Wandering the courtyards was peaceful, and the staff shared fascinating history, making it special. The café’s snacks and drinks were delicious, and sipping coffee by the lake was perfect. The only downsides were no elevator, so stairs were tough for my parents, and a small pool area would’ve been nice.
Sayak D — Google review
We had a lovely dinner at Darikhana. The food is top notch and so is the ambience. We were taken care by Laksham Meena ji, who made sure he give all the historical information while serving the food with patience and kindness. And also chef made sure to make us try small bites as his compliments. Over all, a lovely experience :)
Komal G — Google review
Jagmandir is a must-visit island in Udaipur and easily one of the city’s most photogenic spots. The place is very well maintained and offers a unique atmosphere—perfect for those looking for memorable photos and a slice of Udaipur’s charm. Although the food is on the expensive side, the overall vibe makes up for it. The boat ride from the city center adds a fun touch to the trip, but be prepared for possible waiting times; in our case, it was a two-hour wait, which was quite disappointing. Still, Jagmandir is absolutely worth seeing if you have some flexibility in your schedule.
Pankaj A — Google review
Nice place for classy photos with clean and aesthetic place. Boat ride of pichola lake with visit to this place costs 600 rs/person in morning slot up to 2 pm. After 2pm cost will be 800 rs/ person for sunset view. But cost worth the view and Europe like vibe in India. ❤️
Prayut P — Google review
I just visited this place bu didn't stay here. This palace offers nice views of city palace and being situated on an island, offers nice views all around. Would be an awesome place to watch sunset from. They do have accommodation but I believe very limited number of rooms though. The lake view restaurant is just great and the food too is pretty good.
Jagadish M — Google review
To reach Jagmandir Island, you’ll need to take a boat ride across Lake Pichola. Tickets can be purchased either at the City Palace ticket counter or near the lake itself. The ticket prices vary depending on the time of day, with morning rides being cheaper and evening rides slightly costlier. The boat ride takes about 15–20 minutes, offering a beautiful round trip across Lake Pichola before dropping you at the island. Be prepared for long queues, as the waiting time can be 1–2 hours, especially during peak hours. Once on the island, there isn’t much to explore, but it’s a great place to relax, enjoy the peaceful lake views, and walk through the beautiful gardens and old palace-like structures. You can also click great photos with the lake and Udaipur city in the backdrop. There’s a restaurant and café on the island, perfect for grabbing snacks or drinks while enjoying the scenic surroundings. After your visit, you can take a return boat back to the City Palace jetty. Overall, a calm and scenic experience, best enjoyed for its views and atmosphere rather than sightseeing.

Kind of a unique palace in the middle of a massive lake. You can get good coffee and enjoy your evenings walking in the garden. You get there by a boat ride with one ticket costing 650 rupees per person for Indians

Lake Pichola

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

Lake Pichola is one of the most beautiful lake in Udaipur. The view of the lake surrounded by palaces and old buildings is simply mesmerizing, especially during sunset. The calm water and peaceful atmosphere make it a perfect place to relax and click pictures. The boat ride here is totally worth it - around 15–20 minutes long, giving you a closer look at the City Palace, Lake Palace, and Jag Mandir. The reflections of lights on the lake in the evening are magical. A must-visit spot for anyone exploring Udaipur.

Lake Pichola is the heart of Udaipur — calm, romantic, and absolutely stunning! The sunset boat ride is a must-do experience, offering breathtaking views of City Palace, Jag Mandir, and the shimmering lake waters. The reflections at dusk make it feel like a dream.

Monsoon Palace

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

Breathtaking Views & Royal Vibes – A Must Visit in Udaipur! Monsoon Palace (Sajjangarh Palace) is one of the best viewpoints in Udaipur. The drive up the hill is scenic, and once you reach the top, the panoramic view of the entire city, lakes, and Aravalli hills is absolutely stunning—especially during sunset. The sky turns golden, and the breeze makes the experience unforgettable. The palace itself has a charming old-world feel. It’s not heavily decorated inside, but the location and atmosphere make it worth the visit. The area is well maintained, and there are plenty of spots to sit, relax, and take pictures. Entry fees are reasonable, and there are basic facilities available. Parking is organized, but it can get crowded during peak hours, so arriving a little early is a good idea. Overall, Monsoon Palace is a perfect place for photography, romantic views, and enjoying Udaipur’s natural beauty. Highly recommended—especially during monsoon and sunset! 🌅🏰🌿
Akash G — Google review
The place is beautiful but the tickets rates have gone up. It's around 170-200 per person for Indians + vehicle charges that are close to 200rs. The road features steap curves so keep that in mind if you're taking your vehicle to the top. 'Museum' is little tbh. There's nothing much to see there, it's mostly a good place for a beautiful garden that features the view of the entire city. You can also go to the edge and see the beautiful aravali range as the sun sets. Keep in mind this place is a famous tourist spot and will get very crowded at evenings and weekends. Sometimes the crowd will make it difficult for you to enjoy the view from the top. If you're here for sunsets on a weekend and getting disturbed by the crowd, I suggest you walk down to the cafe at the very entrance of the palace. It's nothing too fancy but it's a few chairs in the garden that give you a free view of the sunset. You can also stop before reaching the palace. There's a spot few hundred meters before the palace that gives you a clear view with little to no crowd. Overall its a good place to visit especially during monsoons 🍻
Lonerider2881 — Google review
beautiful spot with one of the best sunset views in Udaipur. The drive up the hill is scenic, and once you reach the top, you get a breathtaking panoramic view of the city, lakes, and surrounding hills. It’s especially nice during or after monsoon when everything looks green and fresh. On the downside, there isn’t much to see inside the palace — it’s more about the view than the structure itself. The entry fee plus vehicle charge can feel a bit high, and the road uphill is narrow, so it’s better to go with a local driver. Also, there’s limited food or water available at the top, so carrying your own bottle is a good idea. Overall, it’s a great place for sunset lovers and photography, but go mainly for the view, not the palace interiors.

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

Beautiful place. The drive up the palace is scenic. It has variety of views all around the palace. The area around the palace is beautifully done for everyone to take pictures. The actual palace can feel a bit crowded on weekends, but its manageable. They also had a special section on the birds found in the area focussing on eagles, vultures and owls.

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

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

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

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

My visit to the City Palace in Udaipur was a truly great experience and worth every rupee of the entry fee. This magnificent heritage site is an absolute must-see if you are in Udaipur. The palace is a breathtaking architectural marvel, and you can easily spend hours exploring its endless courtyards, balconies, and museums. There are a lot of ancient things to know, from the stories of the Mewar rulers to the intricate artwork on the walls. The preserved artifacts, weapons, and paintings offer a fascinating glimpse into Rajasthan's royal past. The views of Lake Pichola from the palace terraces are simply spectacular. The entire complex is very well-maintained, and the guides are knowledgeable, enriching the visit with historical insights. Do not miss this heritage gem. It is the crown jewel of Udaipur and an unforgettable highlight of any trip to Rajasthan. Highly recommended

Visiting the City Palace, Udaipur was an unforgettable experience. Perched on the banks of Lake Pichola, the palace is a masterpiece of Rajput architecture, offering a perfect blend of history, art, and breathtaking views. The moment you step inside, you are transported into a world of royal grandeur—beautifully preserved courtyards, intricate mirror work, colorful murals, ornate balconies, and corridors that echo centuries of Mewar heritage. Every turn reveals something mesmerizing. The museum is well-organized, with detailed displays that help you understand the legacy of the Mewar dynasty. The panoramic views of the city and the lake from the palace terraces are simply stunning and worth every step of the climb. Despite being a popular tourist attraction, the management ensures a smooth flow of visitors, and the premises are clean and well-maintained. Whether you're a history enthusiast, architecture lover, or simply someone seeking a memorable experience in Udaipur, the City Palace is a must-visit. It truly captures the soul of the city—majestic, vibrant, and timeless.

City Palace Udaipur is truly a must-visit! The architecture, lake views, and royal interiors are stunning. The museum is well-maintained and gives a great glimpse into Mewar history. The place can get crowded, so visiting early morning is best. Overall, a beautiful heritage spot that represents Udaipur perfectly. Absolutely loved visiting City Palace! The place is huge, beautifully maintained, and full of picture-perfect spots. The colorful windows, mirror-work rooms, and lake views are amazing for photography. The staff is polite, and the museum walk is smooth with lots to explore. The lake view from the palace is the highlight — perfect for sunset lovers. Ticket prices are a bit high, but totally worth the experience. Great place for families, couples, history lovers, and anyone visiting Udaipur for the first time.

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

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

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

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

Jagdish Temple is one of the most beautiful and peaceful places to visit in Udaipur. Visiting in the morning is especially nice, as the darshan is easy and the atmosphere is calm. Inside the temple, the local devotional sangeet creates a very soothing and divine environment. The walls and pillars are decorated with old, intricate Rajasthani and Indo-Aryan carvings, which are truly beautiful and perfect for photography. When you step inside, you can actually feel a strong spiritual energy that makes the visit memorable. The temple was built in 1651 by Maharana Jagat Singh I and is dedicated to Lord Vishnu (Lord Jagannath). It is famous for its Indo-Aryan architecture, a black stone idol of Vishnu, and beautifully carved pillars and walls that show dancers, gods, and elephants. A must-visit temple in Udaipur—peaceful, photogenic, spiritual, and full of history.

Beautiful and peaceful temple with amazing architecture and a very calm atmosphere. The place feels truly spiritual, but the roads around it are very narrow, only one car can pass at a time, so it’s better to park your car near City Palace or anywhere outside the old city area. The stairs are quite high, so if you have leg or knee pain, it’s better to avoid climbing. Overall, a lovely temple to visit and take blessings.

Jagdish temple is one of the architecturally and artistically significant temples of North India. It was built by Maharana Jagat Singh-l in 1652 A.D. This temple represents Nagar style of temple architecture and has shikhar, garbh graha (sanctum sanctorum) and sabhamandap. The outer part of the temple is decorated with beautiful sculptures. An inscription placed therein gives detailed information about Guhil rulers and the temple. On all the four sides of this panchayatan type temple, small shrines for Surya, Shiva and Ganesha are located. Beautiful and peaceful temple with amazing architecture and a very calm atmosphere.

But with time crowd getting more and more. Whenever you visit udaipur, I suggest start you journey from here by taking blessings of Bhagwan Vishnu.

Shrinathji Temple, Udaipur

Shree Nath Ji Temple, also known as Shrinathji Temple, is a significant pilgrimage center for Vaishnavs located in Nathdwara, about 48 kilometers from Udaipur city in Rajasthan. The town is renowned for its temple dedicated to Lord Krishna and for the famous Nathdwara Paintings. This beautiful temple is a popular destination for devotees from around the world who come to witness the various forms of Lord Krishna.
This is the temple of Shrinathji which is located in the Old City area in udaipur. I suggest that people need to visit this temple also because whenever I come here I don't find any difference between nathdwara shrinathji darshan and udaipur shrinathji darshan Same facility same culture same darshan & also I find easy darshan over here.

Shrinathji temple of Udaipur, This temple will give you same spiritual vibes as that of Shrinathji Mandir of Nathdwara. The atmosphere in the temple is vibrant and peaceful
Dr. S — Google review
Many of the reviews for this mandir have unrelated photos attached. Many of the photos are of the wrong location or of other mandirs. This mandir is the charan chauki of shrinathji when bhagwan was shifted from Nathdwara to Udaipur by Maharana Rai Singhji for protection of the mandir. Thakorji stayed here for 10 months before shifting back to Nathdwara into the main mandir and then to ghasiyar. In this mandir there is all the facilities for shriji seva that you would find in Nathdwara. There is a gaushala, yamunaji kund, giriraj mandir, and acharya bethakji mandir, ghee and tel kuva, and sona chandi ghanti. There is also a mandir for dauji and a small Shivji mandir in the temple complex. This mandir has two main entrance points which is why google maps shows multiple location points for this mandir. Unlike Nathdwara you will be able to enter with your phone and bag and the security is even nice enough to let you take photos and videos of anything except the main darshan of shrinathji. However, the courtyard and all the other areas are able to be videoed.

Shrinathji Temple in Udaipur has a very special charm. It’s tucked away in the old city and offers a quiet, spiritual atmosphere without the crowds you might find in Nathdwara. The temple is built like a traditional haveli—with beautiful courtyards, intricate architecture, and calm surroundings. The darshan experience was smooth and peaceful, and I loved the way the rituals are followed here with devotion and grace. The aartis are soulful, especially the Shringar and Rajbhog darshan. You can really feel the spiritual energy during those moments. The priests are respectful, and the temple is well-maintained and clean. ✅ Calm and serene vibe ✅ Beautiful traditional design ✅ Great for peaceful darshan without rush ✅ A hidden gem in Udaipur’s old city If you're in Udaipur and looking for a meaningful spiritual experience, this place is a must-visit. 🙏

Saheliyon ki Bari, a stunning garden in Udaipur, is renowned for its lush greenery, intricate marble art, and enchanting fountains. Built by the Maharana for the royal ladies of Mewar, it features four water pools, marble elephants, kiosks, and fountains. The garden also houses a museum displaying household items and pets of the residents.
Beautiful and peaceful place to visit in Udaipur. The fountains, marble pavilions, and lotus pools are truly mesmerizing. The garden is clean, well-maintained, and full of greenery that gives a calm and refreshing vibe. It’s a perfect spot for photography and to relax for a while away from the city noise. Gardens are huge in size, and you can even play many games when visiting with a big group of family or friends. The water fountains still work perfectly, adding charm to the atmosphere. A must-visit place for anyone coming to Udaipur.

Saheliyon Ki Bari is a beautiful and peaceful garden, perfect for nature lovers. The entry ticket is ₹30, and there is a common washroom available near the entrance, which is convenient for visitors. The garden has lush greenery, fountains, lotus ponds, marble structures, and an artificial water jharana, which make it a nice spot for a relaxing walk. The evening time is especially good for photography because of the soft natural light and calm atmosphere. However, if you expect a very large or grand garden, it may feel a bit smaller than expected. Still, the atmosphere, greenery, and fountain areas make it a pleasant place to visit. Overall, it's a good and peaceful garden to spend 20–30 minutes, especially if you enjoy nature and photography. Saheliyon Ki Bari was built in the 18th century by Maharana Sangram Singh II. According to history, it was created for the 48 maids (saheliyan) who came with the queen as part of her dowry. The king built this garden to give them a peaceful place to relax, spend time together, and enjoy the fountains. This garden was designed as a private retreat for the royal ladies, where they could walk, chat, and enjoy the sound of water fountains away from the palace duties. The fountains work purely on water pressure without any pumps, which shows the excellent engineering of that time. A beautiful, peaceful, and green garden with fountains and photo spots. Good for nature lovers, though slightly smaller than expectations. Worth a quick visit for its history and calm atmosphere
Kishor P — Google review
​Saheliyon ki Bari, or the "Garden of Maidens," was built between 1710 and 1734 AD by Maharana Sangram Singh II of Mewar. Its singular purpose was to provide a delightful and exclusive pleasure garden for the royal ladies and their maids of honour, offering a glimpse into a bygone, luxurious life. ​The garden's architectural marvel lies in its harmonious integration of Mughal and Rajasthani styles. It features lush, green lawns and a central lotus pool. The most distinctive elements are the white marble pavilions, or chhatris, which stand elegantly against the backdrop of the white walls. Water is the soul of this space. The garden is famed for its numerous fountains, which are supplied from the nearby Fateh Sagar Lake (and later merged into the Bari by Maharana Fateh Singh). These fountains operate without pumps, using a complex hydrostatic pressure system, a testament to 18th century's engineering. ​Ornamental details are delicate and abundant. Stone carved chhatris feature beautiful floral motifs and repetitive arches, as seen in the dark, richly sculpted archways and canopies. A whimsical fountain, adorned with carved mermaid like figures, stands as a charming focal point in the paved courtyard. Ultimately, Saheliyon ki Bari is a tranquil oasis. Its delicate balance of architecture, floral beds, and the soothing sound of perpetually flowing fountains makes it a beautiful memorial to the private leisure of the royal women of Udaipur.

Saheliyon ki bari - A huge and majestic garden located near the banks of Fateh sagar lake, was built by Maharana Sangram Sinh for the royal ladies. He presented this garden to his queen. The queen was accompanied by 48 maids in her wedding. To offer all of them pleasurable moments away from the political environment, this garden was made. This patterned garden used to be the popular relaxing spot of the royal ladies. It has many sections, fountains, lotus pool and marble elephants. Currently, the fountains are managey electronically. But in the old times, this was managed by the vacuum. The garden is very well maintained and full of greenery. There is a nominal entry fees. Must recommend everyone to visit.
Milan P — Google review
If you love history, beautiful landscapes, and unique architecture, Saheliyon Ki Bari is highly recommended. It’s a wonderful place to appreciate the artistry and thoughtfulness of the Maharana's gift to the royal ladies. Best Time to Visit: Go during the winter months (October to March) or the monsoon (July to September) when the greenery is at its most vibrant. Time Required: You can easily explore the entire garden and the small adjacent museum (which has some interesting artifacts) in 45 minutes to 1 hour. It's a quick, worthwhile stop. Timing: Try to visit in the early morning (opens at 9:00 AM) or late afternoon (around 5:00 PM) to avoid the midday heat and the biggest crowds. Location: It's conveniently located near Fateh Sagar Lake and Sukhadia Circle, making it easy to fit into your itinerary.

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

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

Saheliyon Ki Bari always offers an immense and refreshing experience! This was my second visit — the first time was in 2011 after our marriage.

The battle of Haldighati was fought here and from the narrow mountain pass to the river Banas in the plains of Khamnor. Today, only a little of it has been preserved. The battlefield spread over six kilometers from Khamnor to Balicha village is known as Haldighati. The museum to be built here at the government level could not be built till date due to corruption. The weapons related to Maharana Pratap and Chetak are safe in the Udaipur City Palace Museum. In Haldighati, private shopkeeping has been promoted in the name of museum. Tourists are deprived of seeing the original sites which are completely free.

This is a historic site which got renovated in 2023 but is not maintained properly. If it is maintained then it can be a good place to visit.

The area is steeped in legend and lore, with echoes of valor and sacrifice resonating through the air. Exploring the site, one can't help but be struck by the sense of history that permeates every inch of the land.

This is the last spot where the second half of the battle of Haldighati was fought between Maharana Pratap and the Mughals. As a result, thousands of soldiers o on both sides were died and their blood flowed to such an extent that it formed a pool. At present it just a park. ASI should focus on this to build more interesting. Also it's not maintained well.

Must visit place but beware of fraud agents roaming around and in temple premises saying for direct vip darshan through money. There is no such Darshan available. Temple authority should control such activities.

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

Yes, Shreenathji is a form of Lord Krishna, specifically representing the seven-year-old child form of Krishna lifting the Govardhan hill❤️. This deity is worshipped in the Vaishnava sect, with the main temple located in Nathdwara,🌺 Rajasthan. The idol is known for being a seven-year-old boy, with his hand raised to hold the Govardhan mountain🥰

Ancient temple about 50 km from Udaipur . Very old temple situated in gullies hence lot of unclean atmosphere with chaotic temple timings . Not sure of timings it changes every day . Brokers bargain for sure and special Darshan but cheats . Powerful vibes felt and appreciated . Got to manage in better way. Car needs to be parked a km away , travel in auto and then walk for 500 meters in narrow lanes and unstable road with rubbles . Can see the big idol of shive near parking and The Krishna flute art . Goverdhan Giri Krishna is pretty nice

🛕 Shreenathji Temple, Nathdwara 🙏 What a divine place! The moment you enter Nathdwara, you can feel the blessings of Shreenathji everywhere. The temple is full of love, devotion, and positive energy. When you see Thakurji’s darshan, your heart feels peace that words can’t describe. The aarti and bhajans touch the soul, and the people around are so kind and helpful. Every visit feels like coming home to Shreenathji Himself. Truly, it’s not just a temple — it’s an experience of pure devotion and love. Jai Shree Nathji! 🙏

For every Vaishnav, particularly Pushti Sampradaya, Nathdwara Darshan is ultimate desire. Nathdwara is close to Chittorgarh and nearest Airport is Udaipur, Rajasthan with further travel time of 70 minutes.

Ranakpur Jain Temple

Mentioned on

Jain temple
Sights & Landmarks
Sacred & Religious Sites
The Ranakpur Jain Temple, located in Udaipur, is a 15th-century white-marble temple with grand columns, halls and cupolas adorned with intricate carvings of deities. The temple boasts stunning architecture and a rich history that makes it a must-visit destination for both tourists and the religiously-inclined. Visitors are allowed to take pictures inside the temple with a ticket purchase.
I recently visited the Ranakpur Jain Temple (Feb25), a place that had been on my bucket list for years — and it exceeded every expectation. This is, without a doubt, one of the most breathtaking places I have ever experienced in India. The moment you step inside, you are transported into a world of pure artistry and spiritual calm. The temple’s architecture is nothing short of miraculous — 1,444 intricately carved marble pillars, each with a unique design. You could spend hours wandering through the halls, admiring the flawless craftsmanship. The delicate detailing on the ceilings, domes, and walls is so intricate that it’s hard to believe it was all created centuries ago without modern tools. What impressed me most was the serenity. Despite the number of visitors, the temple felt peaceful and meditative. Sunlight filtering through the marble lattice work created an almost magical play of light and shadow, enhancing the sense of divine beauty. The audio guide added great value to my visit, offering not only historical insights but also explanations of the carvings and the core principles of Jainism. It made the entire experience even more meaningful. A quick tip — photography is allowed inside with a ticket, and it’s worth every rupee because every corner of this temple feels like a masterpiece. Some sacred areas are photo-restricted, which is understandable and respectful. Ranakpur is slightly off the main tourist trail, but that’s part of its charm. The scenic drive through the Aravalli hills only adds to the experience, and arriving here feels like uncovering a hidden gem. In short, this is not just a temple — it’s a living museum of devotion and artistry, and a must-visit for anyone exploring Rajasthan.

We visited Ranakpur Jain Temple recently, and it’s a stunning place! The intricate marble carvings and grand architecture are breathtaking, with every pillar telling a story. The peaceful vibe inside is perfect for reflection, and the surrounding greenery adds to the serene atmosphere. The priests were kind and shared fascinating details about the temple’s history, making the visit special. There’s a small canteen nearby with tasty, simple snacks we enjoyed. However, we faced an issue when a security lady denied us entry, assuming we were non-Indian just because we weren’t fluent in Hindi. It was frustrating but resolved after explaining. Despite this, Ranakpur’s beauty and spirituality are worth visiting.

Ranakpur Jain Derasar is truly one of the most magnificent temples in India and a must-visit for anyone exploring Rajasthan. Built in the 15th century under the patronage of Dharna Shah, the temple is dedicated to Bhagwan Adinath and stands as one of the finest examples of Jain architecture. The nearest railway station is Falna, about an hour’s drive away, making it quite accessible. The temple is famous for its 1,444 intricately carved marble pillars, each one unique — no two are the same. Photography inside the temple is allowed with a ₹100 ticket, and if you prefer not to carry your phone, there’s a locker facility for ₹10. However, I highly recommend carrying at least one phone or camera — the carvings and architecture are absolutely worth capturing. Women are required to cover their heads with a dupatta before entering; if you forget to bring one, the temple provides it, which is a thoughtful gesture. Most visitors only explore the main derasar, but make sure to wander around the entire complex — that’s where the true charm lies. There are also a few smaller derasars within the premises, and right outside, you’ll find the beautiful Sun Temple, which is worth a quick visit. The Bhojanshala serves simple yet delicious satvik food for around ₹100 per person, and it’s one of the best meals you’ll find. For those planning to stay overnight, the Dharamshala offers neat and clean rooms at about ₹500 per night, making it a great budget-friendly option. Overall, Ranakpur Jain Derasar offers peace, beauty, and spiritual grace — a perfect blend of devotion and artistry. A definite must-visit if you’re in Rajasthan!

Ranakpur Temple is an architectural gem tucked away in the Aravalli hills, surrounded by lush greenery and scenic views. Known for its spectacular marble work, it’s one of the most impressive heritage structures in Rajasthan and a must-visit for anyone interested in art, architecture, or history. The temple complex features over 1,400 intricately carved marble pillars, and remarkably, no two are the same. The attention to detail across the ceilings, domes, and corridors is simply incredible. Natural light filters in through the carved stone latticework, adding to the beauty and calm of the space. The layout is vast, with multiple interconnected halls, courtyards, and stairways — you can easily spend a few hours just soaking it all in. Do note that photography is only allowed after 12 PM, and the same applies to audio guides. Before noon, visitors are required to submit their mobile phones at the entry point. This is strictly enforced, so plan your visit accordingly. There is a small entry fee for tourists and an additional fee for photography. The temple also has a canteen offering simple vegetarian meals and refreshments. Parking is available, and the road leading to the site is scenic but slightly narrow and winding. Plan your visit after 12 PM if you want to take photos or use the audio guide. Avoid peak hours if you want a quieter experience. The temple complex is expansive — take your time to explore and look closely at the detailing.

Ranakpur Jain Temple is a hidden gem that feels like stepping into a stone‑carved prayer hall. Set against the rugged hills of Rajasthan’s Pali district, the white marble complex sprawls over 48,000 sq ft and boasts 1,444 exquisitely detailed pillars—each one a unique lattice of lotus‑petal , elephants. The beautiful carvings, illuminated by the sun, create a play of light and shadow that feels almost surreal. A short walk around the temple grounds offers panoramic views of the surrounding hills, making it a perfect spot for both spiritual reflection and photo‑ops. In short, Ranakpur is a masterpiece of devotion and craftsmanship.

🌿 Ranakpur Jain Temple — A Marble Miracle in the Aravalli Hills Hidden amidst the quiet valleys between Udaipur and Mount Abu, the Ranakpur Jain Temple stands as one of India’s greatest testaments to devotion and craftsmanship. This 15th-century masterpiece, dedicated to Lord Adinath, the first Jain Tirthankara, is not just a temple — it’s a living work of art that blurs the line between the divine and the earthly. ✨ A Timeless Story of Faith and Artistry The story of Ranakpur Temple dates back to the 15th century, when a Jain businessman named Dharna Shah had a divine vision of a celestial chariot. Moved by his dream, he decided to create a temple that mirrored this heavenly vision on earth. With the support of Rana Kumbha, the ruler of Mewar (from whom the place derives its name), construction began. It took nearly 50 years and the labor of countless artisans to bring this vision to life. 🏛️ A Marvel of Marble and Light At first glance, Ranakpur looks less like a temple and more like a delicate sculpture that somehow expanded into a vast complex. The temple covers an area of 48,000 square feet, built entirely from gleaming white marble that changes color with the light of the day — from creamy gold at sunrise to soft ivory by sunset. The interior is a labyrinth of 1,444 marble pillars, each carved uniquely — no two are alike. Some bear intricate floral patterns, while others depict gods, dancers, and mythical figures. The detailing is so precise that even after five centuries, the carvings look as fresh as if chiseled yesterday. Stand in the main assembly hall, and you’ll notice something fascinating — no matter where you stand, the pillars never block your view of the main deity. It’s a subtle architectural marvel that reflects both mathematical genius and spiritual intent. Look up, and the ceiling seems alive — layered with concentric rings of lotus motifs, geometric designs, and figures so finely carved that they seem to float in marble. The light filtering through lattice windows adds a dreamlike aura to the hall, creating an atmosphere of tranquil divinity. ⸻ The temple follows the Jain principles of non-violence, purity, and peace, and visitors are gently reminded to maintain silence and remove their shoes before entering. Photography inside the temple is restricted — not just to protect the artwork but to encourage visitors to truly see with their eyes and hearts, not just their cameras. There’s a stillness here that makes time feel irrelevant. For many, Ranakpur is not just a monument; it’s a spiritual experience — a reminder of the divine potential in human creativity. ⸻ 📍 Exploring the Complex The main Chaumukha Temple is accompanied by smaller temples dedicated to Parshvanath, Neminath, and Surya (the Sun God). The Surya Temple, with its ornate carvings of the sun god riding his chariot, is particularly striking. Don’t miss the detailed carvings on the outer walls, which depict celestial beings, elephants, and mythical scenes — each corner of the temple rewards patient eyes. Spend time wandering slowly; the more you look, the more beauty reveals itself. ⸻ 🕰️ Best Time to Visit Ranakpur The best time to visit Ranakpur is between October and March, when the weather is pleasant, with temperatures ranging between 10°C and 25°C. The cool winter months allow you to explore comfortably and truly appreciate the marble’s glow under soft sunlight. Avoid the summer months (April–June), when the heat can be harsh, though mornings and evenings still retain some charm. Monsoon (July–September) paints the Aravallis lush green, making the journey to Ranakpur exceptionally scenic — a photographer’s delight. Temple timings: • Open from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM daily. Pay fees, take your mobile for photography however large professional cameras have got some restrictions. Lockers available for your personal belongings.

This temple is really the highlight of the region. It’s a true hidden gem that photos cannot capture—the beauty and magnificence of the place go far beyond images. The energy is very intense; it took us a while to settle in and vibrate in its frequency. Please try to spend a long time here, at least a few hours—our visit was very short, and we somehow actually regret staying so little. This place is a buffer zone between the physical and the spectral realms, a true masterpiece and a sacred place in every sense.

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

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

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

Visiting Kumbhalgarh Fort with my family was an absolutely goosebumps moment! Standing before this massive World Heritage Site, surrounded by the Aravalli hills, you can instantly feel the power, pride and grandeur of Rajasthan’s history. The fort is truly majestic, built by Rana Kumbha in the 15th century, it’s one of the strongest and most beautiful hill forts in India. The sheer size of the walls stretching over 36 km, often called the “Great Wall of India” is inspiring. It’s hard to believe this was all built centuries ago without modern tools. As we climbed up through the gates and pathways, the views kept getting better. From the top, you get a breathtaking panoramic view of the surrounding hills and forests, it’s the kind of sight that gives you goosebumps and fills you with pride in India’s heritage. The fort’s architecture, temples and palaces inside are beautifully preserved, especially the Badal Mahal, which offers stunning views and a glimpse into royal life. Entry tickets are reasonably priced (₹50 for Indian visitors and ₹200 for foreigners) and there’s ample parking near the entrance.

Kumbhalgarh Fort is a majestic 15th-century fortress in the Aravalli Hills of Rajasthan, built by Rana Kumbha. This fort has a majestic wall-spanning for the next 36 kilometers, also known as the great wall of India. The fort is a marvel and a wonder at the same time. Absolutely majestic, vast and amazing. Best time to visit-in the evening an hour before sunset.

It was fabulous. The fort is preserved really well. It makes you travel back in history as all the fort is still present except some part of it. The fort is very colorful and it has a very good vibe to it. I will recommend people to visit it in winters and the weather when fog is there cause it will just enhance the beauty of that place. It is a must visit place for tourists.

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

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

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

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

Rajsamand Lake, also known as Rajsamudra Lake, is a 17th-century reservoir surrounded by intricately carved pavilions, making it a popular spot for picnics and boat rides. The lake is located in the city of Rajsamand in the Indian state of Rajasthan, about 67 km away from Udaipur. It has a circumference of 22.
It was a great experience of pigeon feeding and a nandi bull on the lakeside. Here is the facility of boating. A renowned temple of God Dwarkadheesh ji synonyms of lord Krishna. Divine feeling in the temple. Very tasty and healthy prasadam is sold by the temple committee on economic and affordable prices. Rajsamand lake is also known as Rajsamand Lake situated in Rajsamand city 65 km away from Udaipur, Built by Rana Raj Singh. Best place for nature lovers. The lake view is always beautiful at any time of the day which will be good for photography.

Rajsamand...the district named after the lake. Here resides... art, nature, history and even literature in marble! Another shining name takes forward the golden chain of Bappa Rawal, Maharana Kumbha, Sanga, Pratap, #Maharana_RajSingh Today's Shabd Yatra is in his name! This Sunday I had the good fortune to visit Rajsamudra Lake, a dam built on the Gomti River by Maharana Raj Singh. An unmatched example of #nature #architecture #devotion #art #literature #tradition and #history! The great #Rajprashasti epic written by royal poet Ranchhod Bhatt Telang on a pal and 50 white stones after 9 marble stairs! These have been affected by the ravages of time, most of which have been covered with nets for protection. Slowly moving in blue behind the white marble Rajsamudra gives a different peaceful feeling. How can one not be captivated by the artworks inside the umbrellas, so much detail!!! Just keep watching! Suitable places for photography Kankroli (Rajnagar) town situated on the Udaipur-Bhilwara highway, located near this huge lake, is actually the district headquarters. Despite it seeming like a small city to me, when I saw the good traffic system, I exclaimed that such a system was not seen even in Udaipur. (What to say about Bhilwara!) Kankroli is the district headquarters of Rajsamand district. Rajasthan: Would it be possible that Rajsamand would be the only district in India in which a place with the name of the district does not exist? After traversing long and narrow streets and asking passers-by, we reached #RajSamudra/#RajSamandJheel. 9 Ghevar Devi, who filled the foundation of this dam near Chowki Pal #Ghevarmata temple is built on the other side, and #Ambamata temple is built on the other side. One can see a glimpse of the great personality of Maharana Raj Singh in this huge lake built at a cost of about Rs 1.5 crore in 1676, exactly 100 years after the famous Battle of Haldighati in 1576. It is 2.82 kilometers (1.75 mi) wide, 6.4 kilometers (4.0 mi) long and 18 meters (59 ft) deep. It was built on the Gomti River, Kelva River and Tali River. It was built by Maharana Raj Singh as an atonement for the human killings he had committed during his life. The name of Maharana Raj Singh is immortal among the great heroes of Mewar, about whom we will know better in the upcoming posts. Coming here you feel like the sea. It was raining yesterday...everything was drenched...the clouds and the sea meeting exactly...we too are drenched...from outside...from within...it will definitely come from the heart...

Rajsamand Lake is a beautiful and peaceful spot — calm, clean, and far less crowded than other tourist places. The water is surprisingly clear, and you can even take a dip if you want. Sitting by the marble steps, watching the sunset, and feeling that breeze is pure peace. No noise, no chaos — just nature and serenity. A must-visit place if you’re tired of city rush and want some real calm..

Hindu temple
Sights & Landmarks
Savitri Mata Temple, located in Pushkar, Rajasthan, is a captivating Hindu temple perched on a hilltop. Visitors can reach the temple via a cable car or by trekking up the ascent. The temple offers breathtaking views of Pushkar Lake and the town below. Dedicated to Savitri, Lord Brahma's first wife, it holds historical and religious significance. Other notable temples in the area include Ramavaikunth Temple and Varaha Temple.
One of the best places in Pushkar to visit. One has both options either to climb 1000 steps or ropeway ride for ₹180/-. When you reach the top it has lovely view all around. The temple has a very old history and one should not miss if you are in Pushkar.

Savitri Mata Mandir is a beautiful temple located on top of a hill, offering one of the best panoramic views of Pushkar town and the holy lake. The temple has a peaceful aura. If you enjoy hiking, the uphill walk at sunrise or sunset is a wonderful experience, with cool breezes and scenic landscapes. Although the ropeway makes the climb easy for those who don’t want to trek, it was closed when we visited the temple, and had to climb around 970 stairs to reach the temple which took around 45 minutes. The temple itself is simple yet divine, and the view from the top is absolutely worth the effort. A must-visit when in Pushkar. Please note that temple remains closed from 12 pm to 2pm. So, plan your hike accordingly.😊

A visit to Shree Savitri Mata Mandir was one of the most unique experiences we had in Pushkar. We climbed all the way up to the temple on foot – about 940 steps leading up the mountain. The climb isn’t easy, especially since the steps near the top are uneven, and some are even broken or damaged, so it’s important to walk carefully. Still, the effort is absolutely worth it – the view along the way is breathtaking, offering wide desert scenery and a stunning view of Pushkar town and the sacred lake below. Towards the end of the climb, we encountered many monkeys, and some of them come quite close to visitors. It’s highly recommended not to hold food in your hands and to keep a safe distance from them – they can be curious and playful. Despite that, the atmosphere throughout the hike is peaceful and special, and reaching the top brings a real sense of accomplishment. The view from the summit is especially beautiful at sunset, when the golden light colors the hills and the town beneath. It’s best to go on a clear day to enjoy the scenery to the fullest. Our walk took about 35 minutes at an easy pace, with a few stops for rest and photos. A truly recommended experience for anyone seeking a mix of spirituality, nature, and a light physical challenge.

Visiting Savitri Mata Temple was a spiritually uplifting experience with breathtaking panoramic views of Pushkar. The temple, perched atop a hill, requires a steep climb or ropeway, adding adventure to the visit. The peaceful aura and divine energy of the temple make it worth the effort. Watching the sunrise or sunset from here is truly magical. It's a perfect blend of devotion, nature, and scenic beauty.

It’s a 1.5 km trek one way. The climb can be a bit challenging, especially toward the end where the stairs get steep, but it’s absolutely worth it. Avoid interacting with the monkeys, they’re not a major concern, but it’s better to stay cautious. Definitely a must-try experience.

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

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

Only Temple of Lord Brahma Ji in India. Very Important religious place. Pusker mela is very famous. Lacs of pilgrimage visit this place every year. One must definite see Lake Aarti in the evening. Beware from the Panda's. Mandir Darshan as well as lake Aarti one must Enjoy.The Brahma Temple in Pushkar, the only temple in the world dedicated to Lord Brahma, holds a unique and special place in Hindu spirituality. With its serene and positive vibes, this temple is a significant pilgrimage site for Hindus, drawing visitors from all over. Steeped in rich history and tradition, it offers a spiritually enriching experience that is truly one of a kind. Before heading to the temple, it is customary to visit the sacred Pushkar Lake, which adds to the temple's spiritual ambiance. While the temple and its surroundings are spiritually significant, they would benefit from better upkeep.

Adhai Din Ka Jhopra - Ajmer

Mentioned on 
+57 other lists 
Historical place
Sights & Landmarks
Adhai Din Ka Jhopra in Ajmer is a must-visit for history buffs and architecture enthusiasts. This ancient mosque, built in the 1190s, showcases exquisite Indo-Islamic architecture with intricate carvings, beautiful arches, and delicate screenwork. Originally a Sanskrit college and ruins of Hindu temples, it was transformed into a mosque by Mohammed Ghori.
This is a wonderful site to visit where you can enjoy a peaceful atmosphere. It's located within walking distance of the main dargah, and the path is lined with food stalls and shops, allowing you to enjoy a leisurely stroll. There’s no entry fee, making it an affordable experience. I recommend visiting in the morning, as it’s more comfortable to explore before the heat becomes excessive. Additionally, you’ll have the chance to appreciate the calmness and learn about the interesting stories behind the place. It’s a worthwhile destination with almost no cost involved.

The Adhai Din Ka Jhonpra is an unforgettable stop in Ajmer that offers a powerful and visible lesson in Indian history, blending intricate stone carvings with monumental arches. It is absolutely a good place to visit and a high-rated architectural marvel.It was originally a Sanskrit College (Pathshala) and a Saraswati Temple commissioned by the Chauhan king Vigraharaja IV in the 12th century.It was later converted into a mosque by Qutb-ud-Din Aibak in the late 12th century, with subsequent beautification by Iltutmish.The courtyard and interior hall are supported by numerous ornately carved Hindu and Jain pillars.The façade features a grand screen wall of seven majestic arches with intricate Islamic calligraphy.

i visited this place which is about 1 km from the dargah. it’s more of a pilgrimage spot than a usual tourist place, so respect and silence are expected. the architecture is impressive and the environment is peaceful, but personally, i didn’t find it very engaging or interesting for a visit. it felt a bit quiet and not much to do here. if you’re looking for a calm spot to reflect, it might be okay, but for a fun or exciting visit, it might not be the best choice.

I recently visited Adhai Din Ka Jhopda in Ajmer. The place is definitely full of history and has beautiful old carvings that show how grand it must have been once. But honestly, the place isn’t very well maintained. The area around it looked a bit neglected, and there isn’t much information available for visitors to understand the history behind it. Still, standing there and seeing the ancient pillars and stone work was worth it — it really gives a glimpse of how rich our heritage is. I just wish the authorities took better care of this monument.

Adhai Din Ka Jhopra is a beautiful example of Indo-Islamic architecture in Ajmer. The ancient structure, with its detailed carvings and arches, tells stories of history and faith. Though partly in ruins, it still stands majestic and peaceful — a must-visit for history lovers.

Pushkar Camel Fair? After reading about and seeing those colourful pictures of the Pushkar Camel Fair on Google, I decided to pay extra to go to the 2024 Pushkar Camel Fair. We saw a lot of horses. We rode in a very "touristy" cart ride drawn by camels. But the colours and the fair-like atmosphere that were advertised - well, we did not experienced them.

Amazing experience of the Rajasthani culture and folk dance. The main attraction of this fair was the camels and their caretakers. Usually they don't ask you for money for a picture, but some of can ask you about money or charge you for a picture. So be humble with the caretakers and animals while you're going to shoot them with camera and accessories. Also they're so friendly, so be polite

Mentioned on 
34 lists 
Religious destination
Sights & Landmarks
The Hazrat Khwaja Gharib Nawaz Dargah is a revered Muslim mystic and saint's holy site, containing his tomb and a mosque. This sacred place in India attracts millions of devotees seeking blessings from Hazrat Khwaja Moinuddin Hasan Chishti, who is widely regarded as one of the world's leading spiritual healers.
If you’re into exploring religion and spiritual world, you should definitely visit this place. this is one of the most sacred place for Muslims in India. I have seen many people of other religion are hesitant to go to Dargah, but they’re definitely missing out because of their restrictions. this place is very peaceful and people here are amazing. I was helped at every instance I needed help whether it was in directions , to follow customs ,to take pictures, or to put my footwear. If you are an explorer and want to know the world, you should definitely visit this place and spend the day. I will visit here again with my family.

The dargah itself is truly peaceful and spiritually uplifting. You can feel a deep sense of devotion and positivity inside. However, the area around it really needs better management. The roads near the dargah are not very clean, and there are many vendors, auto drivers, and some khadims who try to overcharge or mislead visitors. If you’re visiting, it’s best to stay cautious, avoid giving money unnecessarily, and go directly for your prayers. Despite these issues, the dargah remains a sacred and must-visit place for those seeking peace and blessings.

Visitor reviews for the Khwaja Gharib Nawaz Dargah Sharif highlight a deeply impactful and spiritual experience for most, tempered by practical concerns regarding crowds and potential scams. The shrine of the Sufi saint Moinuddin Chishti is celebrated for its ability to foster peace and unity across all faiths, attracting millions of devotees from diverse backgrounds. Many visitors describe a profound sense of serenity and emotional release upon entering the main shrine, feeling instantly connected to the saint's message of compassion and selfless love for humanity. The atmosphere, filled with the fragrance of rose petals and the soft melodies of prayers and qawwalis, is often described as a "balm for the soul" where wishes made with a pure heart are believed to be fulfilled. However, the experience is not without its challenges. Common complaints involve heavy crowds, especially on weekends and during festivals, and the surrounding area's chaotic environment. Multiple reviews caution first-time visitors about pushy touts and individuals seeking donations, advising visitors to be vigilant about their belongings and, if possible, to arrange a trustworthy local guide or visit during less busy hours. Overall, the spiritual aura and historical significance of the Dargah are widely praised, earning it a top ranking among local attractions.

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

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

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

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

A great historical place to visit in Ajmer! The fort was originally built by Emperor Akbar and now houses a museum with some fascinating exhibits. We saw many ancient artifacts, including pottery believed to be around 5000 years old — truly impressive and a glimpse into early civilization. The museum is well-maintained, and the displays are informative. It’s a good spot for anyone interested in history and archaeology. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Ajmer!

It serves as a museum nowadays. You can enter with a ticket of 55/- per person. There are several statues and inscriptions from the buddha age, many weapons etc. are exhibited. The interior of each hall was made like a kaleidoscope structure which is amazing. The entire property is protected and maintained properly, so that it makes a perfect ambience for relaxation. I've spent about 2 hours in the quiet ambience of the museum. There is also a water cooler for drinking water.

If you're planning a trip to Ajmer, don’t just stop at the Dargah — take a detour into the hills and discover Taragarh Fort, one of India’s oldest and most mysterious hill forts. I visited last weekend, and trust me — the panoramic views, ancient ruins, and eerie silence of the fort whisper stories of forgotten battles and royal pride. There’s something magical about walking through centuries-old gates with nothing but the wind and curiosity. Whether you're a history buff, a peace-seeker, or a traveler with a lens, Taragarh will surprise you in ways you didn’t expect. A small but unique Fort !! I believe will not take more than 30-40 minutes to explore all fort . Nearby Mittal Mall , 1.5 KM Dargah and 2 KM Adhai din ka Jhhopra which I covered . Ticket Charge - 52₹ / person

Soni Ji Ki Nasiyan, also known as the Ajmer Jain Temple or "Lal Mandir," is a famous Jain temple in Ajmer. It is dedicated to Lord Rishabhdev, the first Jain Tirthankara. The main attraction here is the Swarna Nagari or "City of Gold," a hall with golden models showing scenes from Jain stories and cosmology. Its beautiful red sandstone design and golden artwork make it a special place for both devotees and visitors.
Shubham J — Google review
It was a very disappointing experience. Though the craftsmanship and golden interiors are undeniably beautiful and worth admiration, the overall management is quite poor. Entry tickets are ₹30, and ₹50 if you choose to use the lift, as the stairs are extremely steep and uncomfortable for elders. Sadly, the sanctity of this Jain temple/museum seems compromised — people are allowed in casually for personal gain, and many visitors have vandalised the walls, which is truly upsetting to see. As Jains, it felt disheartening to witness such disregard for this sacred place. There is also no proper maintenance or cleanliness, and parking around the area is extremely difficult, adding to the frustration. Such a heritage site truly deserves better care and respect.

Soni Ji Ki Nasiya Jain Temple, located in Ajmer, is an absolute marvel and a true testament to the dedication and artistic vision of its founder, Rai Bahadur Seth Moolchand Soni. From the moment you approach the main building, the vibrant red sandstone facade, intricately carved with ornate patterns and delicate archways, hints at the treasure within. ​The real showstopper, however, is the "Swarna Nagri," or "City of Gold," a stunning diorama that took decades to create. The painstaking attention to detail is evident in every piece, from the miniature figures of Tirthankara Rishabhdev to the vast, golden recreation of the universe as described in Jain cosmology. Each tiny figure, gilded structure, and delicate adornment is a masterpiece in its own right, showcasing a level of craftsmanship that is simply breathtaking. The golden swan-shaped swings and the majestic chandeliers hanging from the ceiling add to the opulence, making you feel as though you've stepped into a heavenly realm. ​This temple is more than just a place of worship; it's a living museum of devotion and art. The founder's vision to depict the Jain philosophy and cosmology in such a grand and tangible way is truly remarkable. It's a must-visit for anyone with an appreciation for intricate artistry, religious history, and a founder's profound legacy.

Ana Sagar Lake is a beautiful and peaceful spot in Ajmer, perfect for enjoying sunsets and scenic views. Surrounded by marble pavilions and gardens, it's a popular place for both tourists and locals. While there’s a ticketed entry near the main garden area, many don’t know that you can get the same stunning view for free from the backside of the lake, near the local road and park area. It’s a great option if you’re on a budget or want to avoid crowds.
