The Neemrana Baoli is part of the Neemrana Fort and surely seems to be a bit neglected, since you don't find many tourists around. Would be good to get some energy into this place.

This baoli is far from neemrana fort and a deserted place. The baoli is in very bad condition. It is very deep and getting the inside view is not possible from above as it is not safe at all.

This beautiful stepwell is an architectural marvel located close to the Neemrana fort. Unfortunately, it seems to have been completely ignored by the Government and has fallen into disrepair due to sheer apathy. The place does not have a clear approach to go down and is also littered with trash. The walls have been defaced by people making crude drawings professing their love for each other.
This can become a source of income as a popular tourist site if the village council takes it over.

A section of Amber Fort that you will stroll along. Nothing extraordinary - but worth to visit and view.

This abandoned stepwell is one of the largest, deepest, and certainly one of the creepiest in India.

Located just a few kilometers off the busy Delhi/Jaipur highway, Neemrana Baori is among the most impressive stepwells in India by virtue of being one of the largest, deepest, and certainly one of the creepiest. There’s an overwhelming sense of abandonment to the place, its broken ledges, dangerously cracked steps, garbage, and graffiti all testaments to its profound neglect. There are precariously hanging bee nests under the eaves, and bats take up residence in the dark corridors. India’s green parakeets flit around, but even their noisy presence can’t dispel the palpably forlorn ambiance here.
It’s nearly inexplicable that something so extraordinary (not to mention humungous) as Neemrana appears on no itinerary, in no guidebook, or in the accepted canon of architecture. Such is the case with nearly all stepwells, and only a relative handful are cared for, with one, Rani ki Vav in Gujarat, miraculously earning UNESCO World Heritage status in 2014. But there is such an absence of factual information about most of them that scholars often can’t agree when a stepwell was constructed or who built it, as is the case with Neemrana, which has been ascribed to three separate centuries.
The rampant decay may have diminished Neemrana’s magnificence, but it certainly hasn’t destroyed it. This was a welcoming, awe-inspiring, life-giving oasis for centuries of villagers, caravans, and pilgrims who could rest in the cool alcoves, fetch water, hunker down for days away from the hot sun. It may be clinging to life, but it still has the power to awe.

The Neemrana Baoli is truly an architectural marvel but in urgent need of proper maintenance. It’s dirty and you can see empty bottles, cans, packets strewn all over.
If properly maintained it will surely be a great place to visit

It is a an archtectural marvel, though in need of upkeep. I had taken a walk to reach this Baoli from Neemrana Fort Palace hotel. One can also take a camel driven cart also reach the place. It is a Baoli made in layers and must have been much in use in its heydays. The place needs some urgent attention from the authorities. It seem antisocial elements are slowly destroying a very magnificent edifice.

This is the largest baoli I have ever visited and I have visited a couple of these in and around Delhi. One can go quite deep through the stairs but caution is a must.

One of the lesser-known stepwells in the region. Its architecture is quite simple. However, once you descend its 200 odd steps, the impact is fantastic.
Unfortunately, the place is in ruins. You have to be extra careful while walking around.
Nevertheless, it is a photographer's dream. Some people believe that the stepwell is haunted, and it does have a creepy feel to it, but not so much during the day.
Best to arrive here early in the morning. Lots of pigeons and parakeets all around.

While on our trip from Delhi to Alwar, we decided to stop over at this place - the only reason was that we had not seen any step well earlier. Since our driver was also not aware of this location, we relied on the GPS to take us to the place. When we reached the location, we were just spellbound. Located just beside the road, this was a splendid piece of architecture, however, it was in extremely neglected condition. Garbage was thrown at the entry to the stepwell. There were not much tourists around, nor any person who can provide more information on this. A signboard with historical information, by the tourism corporation, would have been helpful.
