3 Hidden Gems in Jaipur Most People Walk Right Past
3 landmarks with verified facts and stories
Galtaji (Monkey Temple)
Sri Galta Ji, Jaipur
Galtaji is a 10th-century Hindu pilgrimage site in a mountain pass east of Jaipur — a complex of temples, natural springs, and sacred kunds (pools) built into a narrow gorge that is inhabited by hundreds of macaque monkeys who have made the temple their territory.
Panna Meena Ka Kund (Stepwell)
Amer, Jaipur, 302028, India
Panna Meena Ka Kund is a 16th-century stepwell (baori) near Amber Fort — a geometric descent of zigzagging staircases into a deep well that creates one of the most visually striking architectural patterns in Rajasthan.
Samode Palace (Day Trip)
Samod Road, Chomu, Jaipur, 303702, India
Samode Palace is a 16th-century Rajput palace-fort 42 kilometres north of Jaipur that has been converted into one of India's most atmospheric heritage hotels — but which also allows day visitors to tour the palace's public areas, including the astonishing Sheesh Mahal (Hall of Mirrors) and the Durbar Hall whose walls and ceiling are covered in mirror-mosaic and floral frescoes that rival anything in Jaipur's royal palaces.
