What To Expect
Monkey Temple
We will pick you from the place you are staying in Jaipur at 8:30 a.m and bring you first to visit Monkey Temple. Participants travel in an air conditioned vehicle with travel specialist driver. Situated at about a distance of 10km from Jaipur in the city of Khania-Balaji, the Galtaji temple which is also known as Monkey Temple is a Hindu pilgrimage often visited by the people from all over the country.
Chand Baori
The drive is of 2 hours from Jaipur. On arrival at the destination, you would be provided lunch and then show you Abhaneri Stepwell. Chand Baori is the oldest surviving step well in Rajasthan and probably India. It was built by the King named Chanda or Chandra of the Nikhumbha dynasty. The time of the stepwell is 8-9th CE making it 1200-1300 years old. Yes, it is older than Taj Mahal, Khajuraho Temples, and Chola Temples but younger than Ajanta and Ellora Caves.When you stand next to this 13 story deep step well with symmetric triangular steps leading to the water at the bottom, you cannot but be mesmerized. You, of course, understand that in the desert of Rajasthan, it is a practical water management solution. It also serves as a natural cooler in summer months. But, what inspired the people of those days to build it so beautifully. After Abhaneri we will drive you to Bhangarh.

5.00Very nice tour of less busy areas outside Jaipur. Nitu, the driver, was very helpful and informative. The guide Dayal at the step well was friendly, professional and knowledgeable about its history. The organisers remained in touch regularly to make sure the tour was running smoothly.
Great day, full trip through Jaipur outskirts

5.00The experience was great and worth it. Consider is a long drive, start early. The stepwell is the highlight. Our driver, Ishak Khan, ensured we had a local experience through the food and chai. Really experienced driver. Guides provided good info and let us explore by ourselves too.
Great tour!

5.00These are some really great highlights of the Jaipur area. The stepwell is very impressive and has a rich history and I got up close with some monkeys at the Bhangarh Fort. My flight had come in 2.5h later than expected but the driver was very flexible and we still tried to get the whole itinerary done even into the evening. Unfortunately the monkey temple had closed by then, but the other two destinations still made the day we'll worth it.
Easy no frills way to see three awesome sites

5.00Very simple way to see three sites outside of Jaipur that may be less touristy but still worth seeing nonetheless. Favorite of these was Bhangarh Fort. Would recommend, very no frills way to get to each of these three points with an experienced driver and guide.
Would recommend.

5.00Seeing the Golden Temple. The Bhangarh Fort history was riveting. The ruins, particularly the Palace was incredible. Definitely worth getting a guide. If you don't get the history, you're only getting half the pleasure!
Nice way to spend a day and learn about the history of India.
