My driver suggested this place during my Golden Triangle Tour, although it wasn't part of my official itinerary. I'm glad I went out of our way to visit, as it was very unusual, fascinating and resembled India to a tee for me. "Be on the look-out for Leopards", said my guide, as we drove up the windy road to the... More

Out of the tourist circuits, is empty of people, but full of monkeys, and you must take care of them. A very good place to take pictures, and very courious temple.

Easy to get a tuk tuk through the old part of Jaipur to this temple where there are lots of monkeys, cows, goats, birds etc. There was an Indian wedding while we were there and we were thrilled to be invited to join in. The walk up to the temple is a bit of a feat especially if you have... More

So, the story is that the rock of the cliff face around which this temple is built looks like Hanuman. I saw the painting over the top that didn't follow the shape of the rock at all, and the painting was cool. I didn't see the monkey in the rock. Oh, and the monk wanted the equivalent of $40 donation... More

I believe these monkeys were gentler than others experienced later on our trip. Still be mindful as they can be aggressive and hiss. They frolic about and can be territorial. I was delighted.

This temple was so fun, monkeys roaming around all over the place. So much to see goats, birds, monkeys, hogs. It's very steep and a lot of walking is involved so be prepared for this. Lots of beggars around, snake charmers were quite entertaining tho.

Our rickshaw driver took us there and we met a guide at the bottom who accompanied us up the hillside with his 2 dogs. He told us that a monkey had attacked someone, another had grabbed a tourist's camera, they all had rabies and could bite you without warning and so we were very glad to have the dogs with... More

If you really want to see a monkey temple then you will be impressed. They line the walkway up to the temple and cavort within the temple. Watch you stuff and mind the monkey scat.

A bit of a drive outside of Jaipur lays the monkey temple. On a clear day it has amazing sunset views. Even when it is cloudy you can still get a good overview over Jaipur and watch kids playing cricket. The way up takes about 20 minutes on foot. We met a lot of monkeys and took some great shots....
