- Nina CSurrey, UK244 contributionsWhat a pity that it is so busy in front of the palace. It is architecturally magnificent - and a definite must-see in Jaipur.Written 13 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Flipperty GibbertCarlisle, UK245 contributionsCity Palace is the main attraction in central Jaipur, set behind the pink row of shops etc which give the city its Pink City moniker.
There is much to explore here, courtyards, audience halls, museums, and many beautiful architectural features.
The first courtyard, painted in pink and white panels is dotted with alcoves and archways and topped with pavilions. In the centre, the elaborately painted orange and white Diwan i Khas stands on a platform- a greeting hall, it is hung with chandeliers (beloved of the local pigeons) and filled with multifoil archways.
Behind this, the beautiful Riddhi Siddhi Pol gateway leads us 'indoors' and into Pritam Niwas Chowk, where we find Chandra Mahal and the Clocktower.
The most beautiful part of City Palace are the 4 ornate 'gates' in Pritam Niwas Chowk Each is decorated to reflect 1 season and with reference to a Hindu deity. The level of ornamentation is stunning- sculptural tileworks, shining, colourful reliefs, such attention to detail. The Peacock Gate is the most famous of these, and my particular favourite, but each has its very own spectacular beauty.
Gateways to the palace and surrounds are all beautifully painted or augmented with porticos and domes...
Another nice gateway is the Rajendra Pol, marked with elephant sculptures, close to the Mubarak Mahal. Look both ways when passing through a gate here, the rear can often be even more impressive than the front.
There are a number of museums in the complex.
The Mubarak Mahal houses a textile museum, containing hand embroidered clothing which must have taken hours and hours of work and patience to create.
Another area houses an armoury museum... lots of very pretty ways to kill people. Beautiful knives are not something I want to see, so I passed on this 'treasure trove'.
Other museums require a more expensive ticket purchase.... our guide did not purchase this access for us, probably due to time restrictions.
Also available for an additional fee, is access to the ornate interiors of the palace: the Blue Room and Shobha Nivas, on the 6th and 4th floor of Chandra Mahal, respectively. Chandra Mahal itself is very little to write home about- as Rajasthan's forts and palaces go, it appears, externally, very drab, but its interiors are stunning.
The palace complex is housed among many other buildings- temples, bazaars, gateways, many of which are wonderfully ornate- the entrances to Hawa Mahal and Jantar Mantar, gardens and numerous car parks. Entering from the street, the impression is that you are entering into 'palace grounds ', but actually, you enter into a space not too dissimilar to the one you just exited (if that makes sense!) filled with traders and parked buses, empty space and dilapidated buildings. Even from inside, it does not 'feel' like a palace, as other buildings are so visible just over the walls that it is hard to imagine yourself in another time and place in the way we do when visiting historic sights- there are constant reminders of the modern Jaipur outside.
However, none of this distracts from the impressive architectural details on show here. A beautiful collection of details.Written 24 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The site offers nice views of surrounding area and buildings. Carvings at the front of the building are very intricate
We stopped off en route from Patrika Gate to Hawa Mahal, but it is close to Rambagh if you are in that area and worth seeing if you're passing
Take your shoes off at the kiosk on the way in and collect them as you leaveWritten 16 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There were some poor reviews so we were concerned but we really enjoyed our visit. It's an intriguing place. We were blessed by a monk in a small ritual, albeit he did ask for a 'donation', but since there is no entry fee, we didn't mind at all.
The monkeys were not aggressive, and there were not too many hawkers. It is somewhat dilapidated, but that shouldn't put you off. It's worth a trip if you have time.Written 24 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

This time, I decided to skip Amer Fort to ensure I wouldn't miss this stepwell. It's located close to Amer Fort but slightly off the main road, so be sure to ask locals for directions. The stepwell is well-maintained, and there's a seating area where you can relax and take photos.Written 28 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- travelrimsMumbai, India746 contributionsIt's a really peaceful kind of place. Ticket is Rs 30. Do include this in your trip. There is a Mandie on top of the hill.

- Geoff HSissinghurst, UK18,094 contributionsA beautiful gateway with a stunning mosaic of Ganesh. Make sure you have enough time to wind through the corridors in the gateway to the top floor where you can look through the mesh window onto the scene below, as the ladies of the royal household did in days gone by.Written 26 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- RedLichtie65Forfar, UK320 contributionsVisited this temple as part of a trip to Amer Fort. It is a working temple and we had the privilege of hearing a worshipper chant their prayer. It has some beautiful stone carvings inside. Worth a visit as part of day trip to Amer Fort. No payments needed but a donation to the temple is welcomed.Written 3 April 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Lakshmi BiradarBengaluru, India1,024 contributionsThe Jaivana Cannon is a legendary piece of artillery, located within Jaigarh Fort near Jaipur, Rajasthan. This colossal cannon is known for being one of the world's largest wheeled cannons and is a symbol of the military prowess of its time.
The Jaivana Cannon is an awe-inspiring sight, standing as a testament to the engineering and metallurgical excellence of the past. Visitors to Jaigarh Fort can marvel at this historic marvel and appreciate the advancements in weaponry during the era. It's a must-see for history buffs and anyone curious about ancient military technology.Written 21 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Little crowded from outside, parking is a little challenge, Mandir corner shop white pede prashad was lovely, Panditji was really very nice and humble, Hanuman Ji darshan was out of the world experience. One should sit and spend some 15 minutes in the Mandir courtyard in front of Hanuman ji to get actual feel and connect with Prabhu.

- JayanKottayam, India102 contributionsJAI HIND
The forty five degree weather could mot prevent me from an ever memorable vist to National war memorial (Amar jawan jyothy).
India gate complex mainly consists of India gate, National war memorial (Amar Jawan Jyothy) and Param Yodha Sthal. Param Yodha sthal is under renovation and we cannot enter there now. I think there is no need to explain the importance and history of these monuments here.
No entry fee is there to visit this complex. But, you are under surveillance of our Jawans. Evening is the best time to visit the place. It is a large hexagonal park. Facilities available to pay our tributes digitally to Vir Jawans. A Souvenir shop available near north gate ( on our way to exit) There you can purchase some valuable items related to our armed force. Neat toilet complex and Drinking water is available near to it. But, it is better to keep drinking water with you as covering the entire area will take some hours and general hot climate will make you tired.
Near the entry gate you can have some chtas, cut fruits, cut vegetables etc. Restaurants etc are not available near by.
You cab reach here from New delhi railway station by by metro by taking a single ticket p to Khan market. But you have to change from the yellow line metro to Violet line at central secretariat station. Khan market station is about 1.5 km away from India gate. Bus No. 894C also will lead you to India gate entry with cheap rate At exit gate lot of auto rickshaws are waiting for you. But I think there is no regulation on the retes.Written 21 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The old city of Jaipur with its pink buildings in Rajasthani style, beautifully laid out with its shops is truly impressive. I would have loved to explore it by foot, but time constraints and the hot weather made it impossible.Written 3 May 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Hindu yatris around the world visit this holy place. In April, Hindu community arrange a religious gathering here. Thousands of Hindu Yatrees visit and pay religious rituals.
Temple is located off Makran coastal highway, about 240 kilometers from Karachi. Very neat and clean area. Visitors with shorts are not allowed in temple. Women need to cover their heads while visiting here.Written 3 December 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
