Like the reviews before, the palace itself is not what you're going for. It's like visiting an abandoned warehouse. The views from here, however are well worth it and the sunset was awesome. I am still a little sour at the cost to see these things but really enjoyed the sunset. We did the tour recommended in the lonely planet... More

This palace is built on the top of a hill. This was built by Maharana Sajjan Singh to track monsoon clouds. However he died at the young age of 26 and the palace had to be abandoned due to water problem. There is nothing much to see in this palace. People go there to view the sun setting over the... More

The best part about this Palace (its hardly that though, just some remains of a Palace) is the sunset view. Go there if you must, only for the view. Nothing else to explore

Must go to see the panaromic view from the top of the Palace.One feel great there.There is nothing special about the Palace but the atmosphere is good and very peacful,out of the noise from the city.

I spent two hours here at sunset and it was worth it! The building itself could be maintained better, but the views can hardly be matched. You have a view of the lakes, villages, and mountains. The sun set over the mountains and was breathtaking.

Sajjan garh is at a beautiful location. The palace has nothing great to offer. The location is awesome.. You get a view of beautiful Udaipur City and is a nice location for a get away. But as such the palace doesnt have much to see. It is poorly maintained and a location to take some pics. But given the number... More

On our last day, we were in two minds whether to visit this place or not. I am happy we finally made it. Compared to all the other palaces which are huge this is a small place but the views are magnificent. It was a great experience standing on the top level of the palace and feeling the strong breeze.... More

The palace is quite small and does not offer much. However the location and views are great. The ideal time to visit is around half an hour before sunset. That way you can get the views of the city and surroundings and also catch the beautiful sunset. It is possible to climb up or other option is to take a... More

Unfortunately, this palace has been left to take care of itself and is sadly run down. There is a display of local animal pictures inside but these are faded and very tired looking. Having said this, the views are amazing down to Udaipur but if you want to take photos visit in the early evening.
