Overview

Tucked away in the rugged hills of eastern Jaipur, Galta Ji Temple—famously known as the Monkey Temple—is a revered pilgrimage site offering a rare blend of natural beauty, ancient spirituality, and architectural elegance. This sacred complex is centered around natural freshwater springs that form seven holy water tanks, the most significant being the Galta Kund, believed to never dry and considered highly auspicious for ritual bathing.

Surrounded by rocky cliffs and lush greenery, Galta Ji is home to a cluster of temples and pavilions dedicated to Lord Hanuman, Lord Rama, and the Sun God, featuring delicate Rajasthani architecture, frescoes, and arched gateways. The peaceful ambiance is enhanced by the playful presence of hundreds of monkeys, giving the site its popular nickname.

Pilgrims and travelers alike flock here for its spiritual charm, scenic vistas, and the climb to the Sun Temple, which rewards visitors with breathtaking panoramic views of Jaipur, especially at sunrise and sunset.
