Its a very good place which is unknown to many people.Galta kund has been closed permanently now.It cant be seen now..

Very important opened partially you cant see the kund here..A religious place..Here you can pic good pics.They charge 100 rupees for mobile otherwise you have to put your mobile to your vehicle.. thats not very good.Over all if you are religious then a good place otherwise i dont suggest you to go.

Excellent atmosphere, well built temple,powerful god,good poojasbut temple is not maintained

Very beautiful and peacefull place...also called as monkey temple...and monkeys here never harmes anyone.A must visiting Place.

One of the most sacred places near Jaipur. The pond where the water from the river Galta a narrow stream flowing from the Arawali Hills. Its is said that the river Galta is descended from the Holy River Ganga. The place is full of naughty monkeys so be careful

Mesmerized view from top of the mountain great place to visit for some calmness and enjoy nature beauti.

Very nice place. And some very nice buildings. The water is beautiful. Its about an 15min walk before you reach the temple but its worth it. The monkeys are cool, but be careful if you are carrying food. They will approach you if you they smell something.

Ancient Hindu temple, the place and the aura around was simply magnificent the day we visited. very peaceful during the early morning and evening. As you climb to the top, the entire Jaipur can be viewed.A great trip.

When I was on my way I dont expect it will be so eye-catching( because I m the one who forced everyone in group to visit there ).And luckily every body enjoyed every second.But place was extremely untidy place(so dirty) and Monkeys territory...Must visit once !

Galtaji is an ancient pilgrimage centre in Jaipur. Set amidst low hills and packed with locals and tourists alike, the attractive spot has temples, pavilions and holy kunds (natural springs and water tanks). Visitors to Galtaji will come across the complex of Ramgopalji temple, locally called the Monkey temple (Galwar Bagh). It gets this moniker because of a large group of resident monkeys. The green landscape and chattering monkeys add to the delight of the area. On top of the hill is a small temple dedicated to the sun god, called the Surya Mandir. Constructed by Diwan Kriparam, the temple can be seen from anywhere in the city.

GO GO GO!! Truly remarkable, stunning, lots & lots & lots of monkeys!! One of my best experiences over two years of traveling!!I thought this place was going to be packed, there were times I was literally the only person in the place!! It was truly a wonderful experience.I highly suggest walking the entire length. There are some vendors and Tuk Tuk drivers that will offer peanuts or a ride to the temple, they don’t push to hard. There might be a couple people asking for money as well, but nothing to aggressive.Waking the full length will take you pass some old buildings, which is situated in top of a hill. After you pass the first set of buildings, you walk along a dirt road. There’s brush, trees, and great pictures ahead!!You will reach the top of the hill and then descend down to Monkey Temple, which will offer more awesome pictures.Offer 200 or 300 donation at the entrance to the monkey temple, which will make the care takers happy. That’s $3 - $4 U.S.You will never forget this place, it’s truly something special and there’s hundreds of monkeys on top of everything!!VISIT VISIT VISIT!

Galtaji is an ancient Hindu pilgrimage about 10 km away from Jaipur, in the Indian state of Rajasthan. The site consists of a series of temples built into a narrow crevice in the ring of hills that surrounds Jaipur. A natural spring emerges high on the hill and flows downward, filling a series of sacred kunds (water tanks) in which pilgrims bathe. Visitors and pilgrims can ascend the crevasse, continuing past the highest water pool to a hilltop temple from there are views of Jaipur and its fortifications spreads out across the valley floor. It is believed that a Saint named Galav lived here, practiced meditation, and did penanceBuilt within a mountain pass in the Aravalli Hills 10 km. east of Jaipur,[2] Since the early 15th century Galtaji has been a retreat for Hindu ascetics belonging to the Vaishnava Ramanuja sect.[1] It is said to have been in the occupation of yogis for a long time; Payohari Krishnadas, a Ramanujite sadhu, i.e. a follower of the Ramanuja Sampradaya) came to Galta in the early 15th century and, by his yogic powers, drove away other yogis from the place.[3] Galta was northern Indias first Vaishnava Ramanuja Peeth and became the one of the most important centres of the Ramanuja sect. The temple features a number of pavilions with rounded roofs, carved pillars and painted walls. The complex is set around a natural spring and waterfalls that create 7 Holy Ponds.[4]Introduction About Galta JiThis world famous Pilgrims Paradise popularly known as Shri Galtaji is a Holy Ashram and a Governing Office of the Supreme of Shri Vaishnava Tradition which is also mentioned in many holy texts and scripts of the world.Besides, the devotee masses of Jaipur and Rajasthan, the holiness of the place is being kept intact by the erstwhile rulers and the emperors as well as the representatives of the present Government of Independent India including Presidents, Vice-Presidents, Governors, Chief-Ministers and other Ministers as well as Religious Supreme and Heads of different sects, philanthropists, politicians and Government Administrative Heads and Officials who also came to pay their homage.This holy pilgrimage centre is a traditionally established Acharya Peetham (Holy Throne of the Supreme of a Religious Sect) in India consists a group of historical temples which is being elevated keeping its holiness intact by virtue of the penance, sacrifice & contribution by the traditional Acharyas of Shri Galtaji.Under the holy guidance and direction of the Seventeenth and the present Office Bearer His Holiness Jagadguru Shri Swami Sampatkumar Avadheshacharya Ji Maharaj of Shri Galta Peetham, the process of development of place with advanced facilities and arrangements is carried forward following the line laid down by the former Acharyas of the Peetham.Besides, its religious fans and the carriers of the Indian ancient religious tradition and culture,History About Galta JiThis Galva Ashram is named after the famous Holy Saint Galva who made his penance for about 60,000 years in Satyuga and according to the ancient belief he brought the sacred Gangaji to Shri Galtaji which comes out of the Gau-mukh (Cows mouth).According to Galvashram Mahatmaya on every full moon day of the hindi month Karthik, Brahmaa, Vishnu and Shiva, the Trinity of Gods of Sanatan Dharma visit this holy place as the reason of which taking bath in the holy ponds provide divine blessings of God into multiple of trillions.

Very nice place to visit... tourist spot...a very nice temple build between valleys...

It is a nice complex of temples that offers a view of the city id you come from the side where the Sun temple is. But as some of the reviews pointed there is a rather weird payment system. They charge you for a camera but yet they do not charge you for the phone. Many of the latest models of phones have much better camera than mine. Anyways, the guys taking payments dont look anything like authorities. Totally contrary they just casually sit and ask you for money. On the receipt that they give you they handwrite the price so there are no rules for how much you pay. We were there with friendly local and he did warn us about those practices. So there are weird mafia-like practices going on and everyone knows about it. Local not paying it is quite normal in India the prices for locals are usually around 10% of foreign prices or non. Which is fair taking into account economy of the country. On the second thought I just remember that on my way back there were 3 young guys that were rather aggressive towards me and tried really hard to get their hands on my camera. Summing up, the place is interesting and worth visiting. Yet, it needs more care taken of and security, as there are some shady business going on. Go see it, with a group and a local guy and dont miss the sunset from the Sun temple.

The temple is often called as the Monkey Temple as you will find many apes roaming about here within the complex. This famous temple of Jaipur is dedicated to Lord Hanuman who is also called the Sun God. This wonderful holy temple of the Hindus is made of pink sandstone and the temple appears more like a palace than a place of worship. As the temple is located on the Aravalli Hills, it offers a fantastic view of the city of Jaipur from the hilltop. The surrounding of the temple also creates a lovely landscape with green vegetations on all sides. You will also find small templesdedicated to Lord Rama and Lord Krishna being established within the complex. The walls of the temple are beautifully painted and decorated with curved pillars and rounded roofs. This holy shrine experiences a lot of crowd every year during the occasion of Makar Sakranti when a large number of devotees visit the temple to take dip in the holy waters of the kund.

Serene, calm and religious place in the pink city.. well spent evening.

Nice place to travel with family with good vibes and peace.

Galta kund is located Aravali range after long walk from Sun Temple a little hidden beautiful place well maintained but not clean properly.Must visit your family and friends.

Galta temple located near by transport nagar. The shiv temple are maintained in the roots of mountains. Having three holy kund . Famous place for monkeys in jaipur. You can enjoy the visit at early morning ... And enjoy sunrise.

Lovely place and beautiful scenery around..But administration should keep sanitation of the place.

Very beautiful place & nice scenery

Water smell is not good, but awesome place with lots of monkeys...

Nice experience at Galta Kund . Enjoy alot . And main thing is that your safety is in your hand. So keep enjoying but with safety cause the deep of Galta Kund is 55 feet down which is quite unsafe for non swimmers.

Sun temple very nice

Good Place but managemant is a week .you take a Nice photo hear and monkey is a creazy.

One of the best places to visit in Jaipur.. Situated in the lap of nature...The holiest place of Jaipur city. Separate water pond for men and women. Surya mandir is also must visit place which is on the top of galta ji. Government has excessively neglected this place ..No security of police or any other department in the entire place.

This is a beautiful place for picnics

Awesome place to visitBut loads of animals, garbageAnd smell

People planning to visit this place as part of you Jaipur trip please dont proceed. This place is located around 16km from the city and takes you through a rough terrain. But on arrival, the security charged us for carrying out Mobile Phone inside also very poor attitude. One cannot visit the main kund which is the one that attracts tourists as theres renovation going on.

Beautiful historical place between hills.

Spiritual waves and full of natural..

Beautiful place, those who want peace and serenity must go there

Pathetic state of maintenance.... A wonderful place which has otherwise been totally neglected by the authorities...litter all around... Mismanaged affairs as far as local lads pretending to be guides ...feel pity for the overseas guests who r fleeced by the locals.

There are 2 ways to reach here, first is by walk/bike and another is by car.To reach through car its well laid out road however it is longer in distance as compared to other route.On the route by walk/bike you have to go up and down through 2 hilly road. Which is kind of excitingIf you have never been this to place I will recommend to take walk/bike route its exciting and you will enjoy it.Reaching down to temple its a nice place surrounded by hills all aroundOverall I will recommend to visit this place.

Less crouded at times, can be planned and then visited. The monkeys are harmless until you harm them. Safe distance should be maintained while feeding them fruits or nuts. The entry from Delhi Road is a bit tricky, Agra road side is more appropriate.

Although it is a very religious place but the maintenance is not done properly. It is a bit smelly there also.

Super fantastic Mahendra travel

Nice place to visit more than once.

Galta kind is inside the Galta ji templeThe view of Galta ji is very adorable and many things you seen here and also very peaceful location the only thing is you missed is that the great location is need more repair and care by government its lake of facility and needs is lake so its not became popular and location continuously became dull no proper cleaning and no lightning is available btw the place is so good like south Indian temples and also seen big rock hills here you seen many monkeys and great views at every location

An amazing spiritual place with anicent temples. Place is all surrounded with Aravali hills. Place is best know for its holy pool कुंड.It is also known as monkey temple because of thousands of monkeys here.

Beautiful place, visit in the morning after 4 am, peaceful atmosphere 🕉 🕉 🕉 🕉

Very nice place for get bless of god specially galta kund for bath

Lovely place

It is the only place after jalmahal , which has stunning beauty🤗 plus water fill in it , naturally and conserved in it very well very rare bcz. in Jaipur there is very few places with water .It was build in ancient time approx 15- 16 century and , especially on gyaras , first pool is for females second for both males and females 3rd we r not allowed , many temples are there which has amazing architecture include galta kund (tank) too. Gates are fabulous.highly recommend more than once visit it.Another name for this place is monkey temple so please take some peanuts and eatable like fruits for them and they enjoy your company too.One more specialty this kund doesnt have any depth means it has no end .

If you want to see monkey and wand some silence with pure nature then go to Galtaji Temple, Jaipur Overview. Located on the outskirts of the regal city of Jaipur, Galtaji Temple is a prehistoric Hindu pilgrimage site. Outlined by the striking Aravalli hills, it consists of several shrines, holy kunds, pavilions and natural springs.HistoryDiwan Rao Kriparam, an attendant to Sawai Jai Singh II, in the 18th Century, built the Galtaji Temple.LegendsIt is believed that, Saint Galav spent all his life here and performed his tapasya for 100 years. Pleased with his penance, the Gods appeared before him and blessed his place of worship with abundant water. To honour this great rishi, a temple was built here and it was named after him. Taking a dip in the natural springs of Galtaji is considered very auspicious and is said to cleanse a person of his sins.

Nice and holy place ........People come here for shower at holy place

It is pilgrim place in Jaipur dedicated to lord Sun and Devi Goddess.you will find one water kund to take holy dip and lot of Monkeys. You can have spectacular city view from the top of the mountain

Less crowded.It provided me a strangely soothing experience. This is away from the noises and crowded city streets. Old temple, a stream and monkeys. This one is a must visit place in Jaipur.

Peace of mind.

Watch out as you walk to the top pool, barbed wire grabs your hair and scarf! Big, really big fish in the first pool. Like pigs with fins!

Very nice place in Jaipur. Place of historic importance. Must visit

Environment is good, it is closed in heels, in rainy season you see a natural environment, all heels are cover in small trees, natural air, to many monkey. But it have one issue area is not clean many peoples are come and wash his clothes in kund. To water is not good for health according to me.

Nice calm place. But not so different from other architectures in the city. But good if you want to go on a small trek. And has good sights of the city.

One of the finest temples visited. It is constructed in the hilly area of Jaipur. It is half joint into mountains. There are two ponds. It is called the monkey temple and surprisingly the monkeys are very well behaved. There are loads if them but do not disturb the visitors. They just play around in the pond. The architecture of the temple is lovely. The view from the top is just mesmering.

After a serious hike up the hills, while dodging super aggressive kids who are cheeky enough to warn you about the monkeys (no, beware the kids!), plus guys trying to be your guide, you will walk 15 minutes (stay straight at the fork, its not the first temple to the right!) you will come to planet of the apes. Or monkeys. And it is GLORIOUS! This is a dont miss.The monkeys are absolutely not aggressive, especially if you do not have food. You do not need a guide. We could have spent hours here. HIGHLY recommend.

Architecture topnotch story captivating but not well. Kept

This is a beautiful pool by the cliff, and here is actually in use so you will see people washing here.Although here is not clean, but still a place worth to visit. If you come from city side, it takes you about 15 mins to cross the mountain. But you can actually come by car from the back of the hill.Although monkeys here are not aggressive, but its always good to keep distance from them to avoid any casualty

Best place must visit ......one can go further up the mountain till surya mandir from where one can have an incredible jaipur view

There are seven tanks, the holiest being the Galta Kund, which never goes dry. It is considered auspicious to bathe in the waters of Galtaji, especially on Makar Sankranti, and thousands come to bathe every year

I have been here 4 to 5 times. I got great experience. The place is all surrounded with hills.At galta kund mysterious water is coming from cows mouth. So many monkeys are found here. Be aware from them.There are two ways to reach here, first is by walk/bike another is by four-wheelersIt depends on you what way you choose.You will find here yourself near the nature.

Long walk and a little hidden, but well worth the trip.Do not forget to feed the monkeys on the path to the temple. Found feeding the monkeys (the baby fathers were more curious and playful). It is dirty, but what do you expect with so many monkeys in one place.there are two water ponds for male and female but water was very dirty, people take holy bath in it

Must visit place. Monkeys nearby are good they will roam around you but not dangerous.

Great place to visit during the monsoons when the Galta kund fills up. A small climb up the hill with temples and ponds along the way. The monkeys here have a wild time swimming and diving into the filled pond. Though a little out of the way, this place is great for a visit.

Abode of sacred lord Shiva between the Aravalli hills. A holy kund or pond for taking a holy dip to cure one of the ills of health n life. Also known as the monkey temple.Amid the protected forest teems with wildlife such as Rhesus Macaque, Langur Monkey, Nilgai, indian grey mongoose, leopard and hyena. Also has abundance bird life like peacocks and other native bird species. Its has several watch points where one can view the wildlife.The view of jaipur city from the hills is spectacular.The temple is open round the year but the hindu month of shravan is special attraction when devotees comes from far n wide area to offer puja and organise kanwad yatras from nearby areas.

I have been here many times and i would every time i had great experience. You should go with your kids and friends.

Hard way up the Mountain. Some holy Cows, smaller temples, friendly people, then down the hill to the place where the holy bath is. Lots of people, a Guru of some kind, more temples, an amusement park in the end.Only sad thing you have to return to where you started. Brillant experience. I highly recommend it

Peaceful temple far from city chaos

Insta worthy place. One of the nicest place in jaipur

Very popular..... in Jaipur Rajasthan... awesome

Such galta trith is one the best holiday sannaa

This place is Beautiful but as usual people dont care about it. #government needs to look at this place.

Reaching here is tricky. If youre using a vehicle, take the road behind Sisodia Rani ka Bagh(Agra road). Only walk over the mountains (driving suggested by Map), taking vehicle will trouble you (Delhi road).

Because its very amazing place

So nice place....netural sites

Pleasant and Holly place to visit with friends and family. Almost on the top of the hill, beautiful velly.

A great and real holy place in jaipur but

Nice place between hills and with mysterious water coming from cows mouth

Superb Holly place..I liked it...

Best place to swim and hangout

I love this place ( swimming 😃)

Galtaji is an ancient Hindu pilgrimage site in the town of khania-balaji , about 10 km away from the Jaipur City.This place is so blissful but I was upset to see the maintenance of such a wonderful place , water is so dirty..

Place is good but not maintained cleanly...

Nice and calm place !The kund(small pond) is amazing !

This place has always been awesome despite of how many times i have visited it😊😍
