Though this "palace" is now a charming ruin, it still offers a fascinating glimpse into the past. Originally constructed for the royal family, it was quickly abandoned due to the impracticality of pumping water to such a high location. While the palace itself may not be fully intact, the true allure lies in the incredible views it offers. From its elevated position, you can enjoy sweeping vistas of the city, and the sunset from here is truly spectacular. It’s a peaceful spot, well worth the effort to visit, especially if you’re seeking a quiet moment with a beautiful backdrop.

Sajjan Garh, also known as the Monsoon Palace, offers breathtaking views of Udaipur and its surrounding lakes. The panoramic scenery, especially at sunset, is truly mesmerizing. The palace itself, perched on a hilltop, has an air of quiet grandeur and provides a glimpse into Rajasthan's royal history. While the interiors are modest, the real charm lies in the stunning vistas and peaceful ambiance. It's a must-visit for anyone wanting to experience the beauty of Udaipur from above. A visit here leaves you with a sense of tranquility and appreciation for the city's natural and architectural splendor.

Your experience depends on the time you visit and weather. As the name of the place suggests, best tome to visit is monsoon. Not much to see in the palace itself (just few animal and bird sculptures) but view from the back of the palace is exhilarating. Specially in monsoon. Front side gives you a panoramic view of the udaipur city. A cafe and a garden to relax a bit. Charges are INR 174/person entry charges and 338/car. If you want shared taxi than it is 120/person transportation charge to n fro. Overall, visit during monsoon or in early morning hours, else you may feel the heat at the top.

An great place to be specifically in monsoon . One can see and guess the monsoon status from the roof top balcony..
Wildlife awareness is added for the great zing. Good for knowledge of all.
Caution: lots of Langurs so be careful as soon as you park your vehicle. They are not inside the palace at all.

The view from the top is marvellous. I am glad I went. The ticketing is confusing and I think it’s quite pricy. You have to get an approved vehicle up about 109rps Lovely windy rd great views. I couldn’t work out how to get down without spending 500rps on a taxi.
The palace isn’t very exciting. But the views are really breathtaking.
It’s easy to get stressy about the taxi and price but if you are a foreign tourist getting muddled about the transport only cost me an extra £5 so not really much to moan about.
There is a busy cafe at the top.

We had gone to see the Sangrah Fort. We liked it the most. The whole city is visible from here. It was a very good experience. You can also buy something from here or you can bring something to eat in advance or you will get tea, coffee and sandwiches here as well.

We walked all the way from our hotel near Lake Pichola up the hill to Sajjan Garh. It’s a great 2 hour trek and in winter very invigorating. We were the first couple seems to walk it up in a long time , apparently more than a year ! as the security guards were very surprised that we weren’t taking a cab .

What a spectacular place to visit. High up in the mountainside, the views are incredible. You are definitely there for the views. The palace itself is lovely but limited in terms of things to see. However, it doesn't detract from the most wonderful views. A great place to visit on a clear day.

This Monsoon palace offers one of the best sunset views over Udaipur. You need to stop and purchase entry tickets at the bottom of the hill and proceed by vehicle up an incredible zig zagging mountain road ( preferably by two or four wheel vehicle!). TAKE CASH to pay for your entry as payment options do not include international cards.
The palace itself is not in tip top condition but the views back over the city and westwards over the Aravali range are breathtaking. Well worth the ticket price and trip and would highly recommend this is part of your itinerary.
Watch out for cheeky monkeys grabbing food around the car park area. Toilet facilities are terrible for such a prominent tourist site. There are lots of restaurant options around the entrance to the Monsoon palace and one restaurant at the palace itself which we did not try.

The fort was built in 1884 AD by Maharana Sajjan Singh to enjoy the Monsoons and hence also known as Monsoon Palace. Now it comes under forest department. Entry Ticket is 155 bucks and extra 106 bucks for the Jeep in case you don’t have personal vehicle. This fort is ideal to witness scenic sunsets and panoramic views of the city.

I will be staying near lake pichola, we are 2 couples. Are there any cab service available which can take us to sajjangarh monsoon palace and bring us back?
Written 29 November 2020
I would Rather Suggest you rent a Scooty, it would cost you somewhat around 400 INR.
You should have a Driving License.
And if you take your Scooty to Monsoon Palace, they would charge 35 INR as an entry fee of your Vehicle.

I shall be getting a taxi/ auto rickshaw up to the monsoon palace at Udaipur and notice there is a walking trail down to lake Badi . How safe is this trail are there free roaming leopards etc
Written 17 December 2018
For safety purpose...absolute no! Do not try to trek down the trail as it is unsafe!

Is it safe to go to this palace in an autorickshaw? Considering the steep climb?
Written 20 March 2018
I think it is safe to go up with that type of automobile. We went up there by the 7-seat Van and the road is narrow, people are driving fast, but the local drivers mostly know how to navigate the way up there and down.
