We went there on our way to Ranthambore and were very pleased. After a couple of stressy days in Jaipur, the monkey temple was a welcomed peaceful place. Sure, we had to buy food for the monkeys -but costed next to nothing- . It is true that the man that explained us what to buy and then came with us... More

If you have a driver, this is definitely worth a stop! Driving up the hill, seeing a priest or saddhu coming down the opposite direction with his huge white beard and sunglasses on a motorbike kind of set the tone. The old building (palace?) has seen better days, but it's so lovely, it looks like you've stumbled on to a... More

The red face monkeys are so gentle compared to the others in the area and took fruit so softly from our hands.
