About Galta Ji (Monkey Temple)

Galta Ji is an old pilgrimage site built into a narrow valley, with natural springs feeding a series of sacred kunds where pilgrims bathe. Hundreds of monkeys live here, which gives it the nickname Monkey Temple. A short climb leads to the Surya Mandir on the ridge, with a wide view over Jaipur at sunset.

Tips for your visit

  • Keep food and bags closed - the monkeys are quick.
  • Wear shoes you can slip off; the kund areas are barefoot.
