    This Beautiful Mausoleum is located in the heart of the City, not a must visit place. But if one can manage it's a splendid place to spend half an hour. It's not too well known, hence a bit secluded so you get chances of a great picture !!

    Awesome find !
    As it's summer season, there were hardly any other people apart from us. The place is well maintained and the grass and trees keep the area cool. The staff is courteous and helpful. One can easily spend an hour or so here if not more.

    Beautiful architecture
    Situated under one of the mountains around Jaipur, this site is magnificent buildings that serve as memorials to departed members of the royal family. It's a very quiet, contemplative space filled with more beautiful architecture. Give yourself time to enjoy. If you're up to it, which I was not, you can climb the mountain to a Krishna temple above the site. Outside the grounds are a number of stands with street food and more.

Gaitore or Gaya Ka Thor (meaning, the last abode of departed souls) is the crematory of the Kachhwaha Rajput dynasty of Jaipur. The premises houses about a dozen cenotaphs of which seven are large in size. The first of these cenotaphs was that of Sawai Maharaja Jai Singh II, the founder of Jaipur and the latest is that of Sawai Raja Man Singh, the father of Maharaja Bhawani Singh, the last king of Jaipur. These cenotaphs present not just an important part of history, but also an excellent example of Rajput architect and craftsmanship.
What really pinches a tourist is that there is absolutely no information about these cenotaphs. One would not even know which belongs to who. Thus to have a guide is a must. Had there been information plates about the kings and their period, the tourists would have felt value for money since it is a ticketed monument.

Last April I was in Jaipur with my friends and we visited Amber fort and Gaitor ki Chhatriyan or we say the Royol Gaitor exactly is a Royal family cenotaph and it is outside of Jaipur. and when you go for Amber fort that time you can visit this beautiful monument all stone nice carve work. we all recommend to visit this place and it is best to visit morning or late afternoon. there is no doubt Amber Fort is amazing but we also love to visit this Royal place. when you enter this complex you can see first the memory of Sawai Man Singh II ( Mor Mukut Singh; August 21, 1912–June 24, 1970 ) was the last ruling Maharaja of Jaipur State belonging to Kachwaha clan of Rajputs. and in side all royal family as well.

we like this place and recommend to all who want go to Jaipur.

Nice piece of architecture. When we where here there where absolute no tourist. You got a nice view over jaipur from the top of the temprl in the second courtyard. We did it without a guide and had no troubles. The main reason to visit must be the architecture and the silence of this place.

Visited in Aug 2013, on our way back from Amer fort. We spent about an hour. This is the royal crematorium site for Jaipur's royal family. A cenotaph was constructed in recognition of each of the more famous maharajas cremated there. The royal cenotaph is known as “Chhatris” (umbrella-shaped memorial). The cenotaphs are engraved with magnificent Rajasthani cravings.

The road to Gaitore is not too bad. Again no signs, so be prepared to stop and ask. Not many tourists at all. the day we went the only guide was on leave, so we really missed out on learning more. But the place itself is quiet and serene. no facilities, carry your own water as well. It is one of the most beautiful monuments in Jaipur.

If you are on the way to see the Amber Fort, make sure you make a stop at Gatore Ki Chhatriyan. Cenotaphs are just amazing. It's well worth a visit and it takes only about 45 min to go around the place. I would recommend this before many of the more popular and overpriced attractions in Jaipur. You can hire a guide at the entrance.

I don’t understand how this isn’t rated much higher on trip advisor? I visited the other sites recommended but this was one of the best places by far.

When you visit here, it’s incredibly quiet and hardly any tourists - it’s nestled away from the crazy traffic so you truly feel like you’re in a little Indian paradise.

We spent an hour just wondering around the buildings and sitting there in peace watching the birds fly overheard. I felt like I could easily sit there all day and stare at the incredible buildings.

I would highly recommend this place to anyone wanting to get away from the busy tourist areas and just wanting to appreciate the beautiful Mughal architecture.
