Inclusions

Itinerary

1. Early morning pickup from your hotel, followed by a drive to Abhaneri village, about 98 km from Jaipur (around two hours). You’ll visit Chand Baori Stepwell and the Harshat Mata Temple.

   3 h

2. Chand Baori was built in the 9th century AD by King Chanda of the Nikumbha Dynasty in the village of Abhaneri, Rajasthan. It was designed as a vital water conservation structure and a community gathering place, helping residents cope with the region’s intense heat. Local legends even suggest the stepwell was built through magical means because of its remarkable symmetry and scale. Today, it’s known as one of the world’s largest and deepest stepwells, featuring about 3,500 perfectly aligned steps descending 13 stories to a central pool.

   1 h

3. After exploring Chand Baori, you’ll drive back toward Jaipur, and once you arrive, you’ll visit the Monkey Temple (Galta Ji).

   2 h

4. You’ll visit the Galtaji Temple, also known as the Monkey Temple. This pre-historic Hindu pilgrimage site is about 10 km from Jaipur and is considered one of the city’s hidden gems. The complex is known for its natural freshwater springs and seven sacred kunds (water tanks). The most revered is the Galta Kund, which is believed to never run dry. The area has a calm, old-world feel, with pavilions, shrines, and a lively population of monkeys that adds to the temple’s charm.

About Jaipur

Jaipur, the Pink City of Rajasthan, is a royal capital of forts, palaces and bazaars set against the rugged Aravalli hills.

The old city's walls enclose a grid of streets painted terracotta pink, laid out in the eighteenth century by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II. At its heart, the City Palace mixes Rajput and Mughal styles, the honeycomb façade of the Hawa Mahal, the Palace of Winds, looks down on the street, and the giant astronomical instruments of Jantar Mantar still track the sun.

Top-ranked sights in Jaipur: Palace of Wind (Hawa Mahal), City Palace, Jal Mahal (Water Palace).
