Temples of Jaipur Private Half-Day Tour｜India

Explore the most important temples in Jaipur on a guided tour. Visit the Galtaji Monkey Temple, the Jahat Shiromani Temple, the Birla Mandir, and the Akshardham and Lakshminarayan temples.

Start your day with a pickup from your hotel in Jaipur. Your first stop will be Galtaji, an ancient Hindu pilgrimage site built into the Aravalli Hills just over 6 miles from Jaipur city center. The complex includes a number of temples and water tanks, filled by sacred springs from the mountains, in which pilgrims bathe and perform purification rituals. The Hanuman temple is particularly special: it is also called the Monkey Temple as these friendly primates have made it their home.

Climb up to the hilltop shrines to enjoy the most spectacular views over Jaipur. After exploring Galtaji, head to your next stop: Jahat Shiromani. Not far from the iconic Amber Fort, the construction of this Hindu temple was ordered by Queen Kanakwati at the end of the 16th century in memory of her son Jagat Singh.

From this intricately carved shrine, make your way to Kale Hanuman Ji and Govind Dev Ji. Continuing your route around the temples of the Rajasthani capital, visit the Birla Mandir. Located on elevated ground at the Moti Dungari hill, this beautiful Hindu sanctuary is surrounded by luscious gardens.

As the gleaming white marble architecture captivates you, learn all about the symbolism of the temple's three domes, representing the three ways of approaching the religion. Finish your tour seeing Akshardham and Lakshminarayan temples, and for the finishing touch on this fascinating route, visit Hawa Mahal, the gloriously elaborate pink sandstone building also known as Jaipur's Palace of the Winds.
