Located atop Lal Dungri, Surya Mandir offers panoramic views of Jaipur city. Here's my review:
Pros:
Stunning views: Witness the entire city spread out before you, making for perfect photography opportunities. Serene atmosphere: Despite the crowds, the temple's elevation provides a peaceful escape. Free parking: Ample space for two-wheelers; cars must park at the main gate. Accessible: Easily reachable by two-wheeler; pedestrians can also climb the stairs. Nearby attractions: Galtaji Tirtha, a beautiful monkey temple, lies below the hill.
Cons:
Monkey menace: Be cautious of mischievous monkeys; secure your belongings. Limited accessibility: Four-wheelers cannot reach the temple; park at the main gate.
Tips:
Wear comfortable shoes for the climb. Bring water and snacks. Respect temple rules and monkey territory. Visit during sunrise or sunset for breathtaking views.
Overall, Surya Mandir is a must-visit for its breathtaking views and serene atmosphere. Be prepared for the monkey crowd and plan accordingly. Combine your visit with Galtaji Tirtha for a memorable Jaipur experience.
