Amazing, must visit temple in jaipur. > It's an ancient temple. Well-maintained and simple, with a lady caretaker. > A big drum is placed inside. > There's a blue board just outside the temple with details about its history. > Behind the temple there's an open area from where you can get a great view of jaipur city. > Sun temple is about 15 minutes walk from galta gate. > You can see a lot of monkeys on the way up from the galta gate. > If you're like me, that is frugal and ecofriendly, the best way to reach here is to get down at badi chopar metro and ride an e-rickshaw to galta gate. The e-rickshaw ride cost me 10rs. And the metro ride from mansarovar depo to badi chopar costs 22rs. After this temple, the way goes downhill. A long way down through stoned roads to reach the many other temples inside this complex. My visit was on 22/11/2023.

Sun Temple Jaipur: A Climb Worth the Reward Sun Temple Jaipur, also known as Surya Mandir, wasn't just a temple visit; it was an experience. Perched atop a hill, getting there was a journey in itself. I chose the steep climb while my lungs begged for mercy, the panoramic views that unfolded with each step were a constant source of motivation. The temple itself, built in the 18th century, is quite small compared to other Jaipur monuments. However, its charm lies in its simplicity and its quietude. Unlike the bustling forts and palaces, Surya Mandir offered a sanctuary of peace. The intricate carvings on the white marble walls bathed in sunlight were mesmerizing, and the atmosphere was serene, punctuated only by the chanting of prayers and the chirping of birds. But the true highlight of the visit was the panoramic view of Jaipur. Sprawling out beneath the golden gaze of the Sun God, the Pink City shimmered like a jewel box. The Aravalli Hills formed a majestic backdrop, and the distant Hawa Mahal peeked through the haze, reminding me of the adventures that awaited in the city below.

Sun Temple. You can reach by car also. It gives a nice panoramic view of Jaipur City. The Hawa Mahal, City Palace can be seen. Beware of monkeys. Its a protected monument.
