It is must visit if you are in Ranthambore. Climbing up the stairs is simple. Looks tough but relatively easy if you are not rushing up.

This trinethra Ganesh Temple is considered the Headquarters of Ganeshji, as he is with his entire family - Riddhi n Siddhi and children Subh n Labh
The climb to the temple is easier if in group.

One of the rare idol of Ganesh Ji with Trinetra. People write letters asking for blessings for fulfillment of wishes and best part is that the priest shows the letter to Ganesh ji so that he can read the same and provide boon for fulfillment of wishes of devotees.
People say that that reaching here is difficult due to number of stairs but the stairs are neither steep nor too many in numbers. One can easily climb to reach the temple.
The temple is inside the periphery of Ranthambhore Fort

This temple is situated in Ranthambore Fort, you need to track for 20-30 mins to reach this temple. Although am not religious person but a history buff, so history behind temple appelaed to me.
This fort is almost 1600-1700 old and showcased Indian's middle ages in full glory.

It is inside Ranthambore Fort, has a lot of monkeys and langurs around. Beware of them. Temple has a divine feeling and I would like to visit again.

This Ganesh temple is situated on the top of ranthambore fort on Sawai Madhopur. The fort itself is within the national park. The especially of the temple is that, it is the only temple with trinetradhari ( one with three eyes) ganesh ji.
The temple is located on a height and hence not recommended for senior citizens. Preferably, the time of visit should be early morning, climbing up in the afternoon heat is not enjoyable.
Overall, plan a visit if you are fit enough to climb.

This is apparently the only Trinetra (three eyes) Ganapati temple in the world. The temple is at the top of the Ranthambore fort. The climb isn't as exhausting as some reviews have described it to be. In fact, I had sore legs from all the sightseeing when we visited this place and I could manage to get to the top within 25 minutes at a slow pace, with plenty of stops to take a breath (it was cold and foggy) and to take photos.
If you go during the weekends or during a festival, it would probably be more crowded. We went on an early weekday morning so there were barely any people and the darshan was quick and seamless.
The temple itself is quite small but very serene. I believe it's worth a visit, since you'll probably be going to the fort anyway and the temple is at the top of the fort.
There is a religious place of worship for almost every religion, all along the way to the top. These places branch off from the main way up. So you can choose which places to visit on your way to the top.
The place is a bit dirty and needs more upkeep, but then again, people need to contribute to the cleanliness of any place. There's only so much the authorities can do.
I don't think you need a guide here, unless you really want to learn about the place. They will pester you and follow you for some of the way, nevertheless. Just keep walking and they'll stop after a while.
It is advisable to not carry any visible edibles since there are quite a few monkeys. You can carry your camera bag and stuff however, since monkeys only snatch away anything that is visibly edible. Nothing to fear.
After you reach the top, after the Ganesh temple, there's a pathway that leads to another 1-1.5 km trek. That is optional. We didn't go there.
To reach the top, in case you're old or infirm, you have the option of going on a donkey, which you can avail at the bottom of the fort, for a fee. Just remember to bargain a bit, whether it's the donkey or the guide, if you avail these services!
All in all, it's a nice experience, not very exhausting, worth the visit and it's free of cost. The place is picturesque so don't forget your camera!

Great place to be with family. You can feel the divine history and glory of the rajputs and the grace of Lord Ganesh.
The temple is located at the top of the fort with a walk of around 45 mins from base. The treck includes stairs and plain walkthrough.
You need to carry water along as you will get exhausted. Beware of monkeys as they are quite large in number and are notorious.
A guide along the way makes the walk easy with the stories of war, sacrifice and valour of the kings.
There is a hidden underground template of lord Shiva which takes back you the history.
The history makes you feel proud.
The way to fort is between jungle so be cautious and avoid late afternoon visit.
Tiger spotted nearby temple on 1st day of the year.
Also stay back if its a Wednesday or a holiday like new year and other festival if you are travelling for leisure.
The for stores many historical things to look for and the view and sights are mesmerizing.
Enjoy the Madhopur Guavas.

Ganesh temple and the fort are in the same premise or different ?
How long can the car take us closer to the temple ? As in how such minimum steps will be required to reach the temple. O will be travelling with 3 year old, so carrying in the arms might be difficult

Both are in the same premises. Car park is there at the base of the fort. Not much stiff ride but have to walk for around an hour.

I am not completely certain when the earliest you can go is but they have sunrise puja so I assume very early. Depending on how fast you walk it would take about an hour and a half or 2 hours if you are spending time in the temple. There is also an amazing Shiva lingum on the hill, don't miss that. The temple has a website but TripAdvisor will not let me link it so google Tri Netra Ganesha Temple in Ranthambhore

One has to walk for around 1.5km to reach to the temple. It's not like a straight staircase. The stairs are wide and after climbing a few one has to walk and again there are few stairs. Elderly people can take rest in between .
