Galta Ji Temple (Monkey Temple)

Nestled in a crevice between two hills, the Galta Ji temple complex is a surreal spot. It consists of several temples and seven holy water tanks (kunds) where pilgrims bathe.

It is famous for the large tribe of rhesus macaques that live here, earning it the nickname 'Monkey Temple'. The architecture is crumbling but beautiful, blending into the rocky landscape.

Climbing up to the Sun Temple at the top of the ridge offers a stunning panoramic view of Jaipur city, especially at sunset. It feels like a distinct, wilder world just minutes away from the city center.
